PE (Polling End Address) Command
<Networking & Security> PE command is used to
set/read the module’s Polling End Address - the
last address polled when Polling Mode is enabled.
Polling Operations: The ‘Polling Base’ (MD = 3)
cycles through a sequential range of addresses,
polling each ‘Polling Remote’ (MD = 4). The base
then waits for a response & proceeds to the next
‘Polling Remote’. Each ‘Polling Remote’ responds
by sending data from the DI buffer following the
RB & RO parameters. When there is no eligible
data to send, the ‘Polling Remote’ will not respond. The ‘Polling Base’ will move to the next
address in
the polling sequence after a short delay.
PK (Maximum RF Packet Size) Command
<RF Interfacing> The PK command is used to set/
read the maximum size of RF packets transmitted
from an RF module. The maximum packet size
can be used along with the RB and RO parameters
to implicitly set the channel dwell time.
If PK is set above 256 and BR is subsequently
changed to 0, PK will automatically be lowered to
256 and a warning will be raised (refer to the BR
(RF Data Rate) and WN (Warning Data) com-
mands for details).
Changes to the PK parameter may have a second-
ary effect on the RB (Packetization Threshold) parameter. RB must always be less than or equal to
PK. If PK is changed to a value that is less than the current value of RB, the RB value is automati-
cally lowered to be equal to PK.
* When BR = 0 (9600 baud), the maximum PK value is 0x100 (256d). When BR = 1 (115,200
baud), the maximum PK value is 0x800 (2048d).
PL (TX Power Level) Command
<RF Interfacing> The PL command is used to set/
read the power level at which the RF module
transmits data
