1 Product Overview Introduction The UtiliNet SCADA Single Board Radio (UtiliNet SBR) is for use by OEM vendors wanting to incorporate the UtiliNet SBR capability within their SCADA/DA and metering products. The UtiliNet SBR is a self-contained 100 mW Integrated WanGate Radio (IWR) which includes voltage regulation, micro-processor, radio transmitter and receiver similar to the Series 3000 IWR. This UtiliNet SBR, while a new design, is based upon existing UtiliNet IWR architecture.
Chapter 1 - Product Overview Landis+Gyr Figure 1 - 1. UtiliNet SBR On-Board Antenna Version Figure 1 - 2. UtiliNet SBR External Antenna Version Electrical Interface The electrical interface for power and control circuitry is provided via a connector located on the bottom (non-component) side of the board. The connector is a 14-pin keyed shrouded header connector as shown in Figure 1 - 3. The UtiliNet SBR requires a nominal 5 VDC supply, with a total input range of 4 to 7 VDC.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product Overview Pin Functions Pin Outs for the connector as described below are designed to interface with the developer’s OEM board. When pins are connected to non developer boards or when standard interfaces are required without use of the USB cable (P/N 19-1220), appropriate design constraints (power and logic) must be adhered to (See “UtiliNet SBR Logic” on page 29). Figure 1 - 4. Pinout Diagram (as seen when viewing the board as shown in Figure 1 - 3.) Table 1-1.
Chapter 1 - Product Overview Landis+Gyr Pin 1 (VIN) This pin must be supplied with DC voltage between 4.0 and 7.0 VDC with 5.0 VDC considered nominal. The input voltage of 5.0 VDC is linearly regulated on the board to 3.4 VDC. While the linear regulation can remove some noise, its PSRR (Power Supply Rejection Ratio) varies with frequency. If the power source is particularly noisy, filtering may be required.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product Overview Pin 2 (LPP TX) and Pin 3 (LPP RX) These pins are used to interface with the device's LAN Packet Port. These pins are driven at TTL levels from 3.3 to 3.4 VDC. Baud rates on this port default to 9600 bps, but using RadioShop are configurable up to 38,400 bps. To reduce chances of electrical damage, a 10Kohm series resistor is placed in-series with the pin which limits the drive current capability of this pin.
Chapter 1 - Product Overview Landis+Gyr Pins 6 and 7 (GND) These pins are the ground connection for both power and communications. These two pins are tied together on the device. Pin 8 (LOW_RF_POWER) The purpose for this pin is to reduce the RF output power level to assure operation during development and OEM manufacturing process. A logic high on this pin leaves the device in its normal mode of operation with full rated RF transmitter power.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product Overview USB Programming Cable A USB Serial Interface programming cable (P/N 19-1220, shown in Figure 1 - 7) is available for developers to access the device via the I/O connector using RadioShop 4.0 or their own application. The cable provides power (5 VDC) and a single emulated COM Port connection. The USB cable allows the OEM vendor to configure, load DCWs, and program the UtiliNet SBR. Figure 1 - 7.
Chapter 1 - Product Overview Landis+Gyr The entire USB protocol is handled by the USB Serial Interface cable when connected to the pc, thus no USB specific firmware programming is required. Because most computer USB ports can only source 100 mA of current, the USB cable sets the device for RF Low Power Mode by grounding pin 8 of the I/O connector. This mode sets the output power level to approximately 25 mW. The USB is 2.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product Overview Antennas As with any RF device, antenna-related decisions are critical and must be made early. The RF range of the final product will depend greatly on the choice of antenna and its placement. This module is available in two versions, selected at the time of order. The On-Board Antenna version is built and tuned to utilize an on-board F-antenna. The External Antenna version includes a 50-ohm MCX connector for RF co-ax connection to an external antenna.
