1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
PLNetworks PLM150 is a Sub-GHz band based wireless communication module for IoT and
provides low power, long range wireless connectivity using the LoRa RF transceivers from ST.
PLM150 can be interconnected with the CPU (MCU) of the host system through the UART
Serial Interface and provides an optimized text command/response interface. With this interface,
the host system can configure PLM150 and transmit/receive wireless data.
PLM150 implemented the LoRaWAN protocol for the wireless data transmission, enabling low
power, long range two way communications.
The host can transmit commands to PLM150 for the configuration using UART interface. When
PLM150 receives the commands, it applies to the configuration setting and sends the result to
the host.
