Application Part

Modulation Mode

HM-TRLR series transparent transceiver module can work in the traditional FSK / GFSK modulation mode, as well as in LoRa modulation mode. According to the application requirements, users can switch the modulation mode conveniently. Using principles: use FSK / GFSK modulation when requiring large quantities of high-rate data transmission; use the LoRa modulation when long-distance data transmission is needed.

Operating Mode

HM-TRLR series transparent transceiver module has three kinds of operating mode: Running Mode、Configuration Mode and Sleep Mode. When the module is in Running Mode, users can send and receive data; when the module is in the Configuration Mode, users can change the formulation parameters according to the need via AT commands; Sleep Mode allows the module to enter into a low power consumption status.

  • Running Mode Timing Diagram

Running Mode Timing Diagram.png

Note:When the modulation pattern is LoRa and the HM - TRLR receive buffer is full, the STATUS pin will output a low level.

  • Configuration Mode Timing Diagram

Configuration Mode Timing Diagram.jpg

Note:The module enters into the Configuration Mode by pulling up the CONFIG pin. If the STATUS output is at low level, users can send AT commands to revise the parameters.

  • Sleep Mode Timing Diagram

Note: Sleep mode is controlled by SLEEP pin

Channel Frequency

Different model of HM-TRLR module has different frequency band, each frequency band is divided into 16 channels, and frequency details are as below:

Transfer rate

When HM-TRLR module works in FSK modulation, the air rate can self-adapt to serial baud rate. Theoretically, it is able to transfer wireless data, it’s better to transmit in batches to avoid interference in the air if the data package is large. When HM-TRLR module works in LoRa modulation, the transmission rate depends on the Signal Bandwidth, the Spreading Factor, FEC coding rate and the Payload Length. The sensitivity of receiver is only related to the Signal Bandwidth and the Spreading Factor. The following table shows the relationship between the transmission rate and parameters:

Test conditions:

1. Supply voltage = 3.3 V

2. Temperature = 25° C

3. CRC on payload enabled

4. Payload length = 64 bytes

5. Coding Rate = 1

Hopping Frequency Spread Spectrum (HFSS)

When HM-TRLR module works in LoRa modulation, it has the function of HFSS, which can be applied to the occasions where the time of frequency occupancy is limited. For example, in the United States, the frequency of the ISM segments 902-928, when the data transmission time of a packet exceeds the frequency occupancy time limits, you can use frequency-hopping technology, there are two parameters need to be set: Hopping Cycle and Frequency Stepping.

Calculating Formula:

 HoppingPeriod(ms) = ( 2SF/BW) * FreqHoppingValue
 SF = SpreadingFactor
 BW = SingnalBandWidth
 FreqHoppingValue = 1~255
 FreqStep = 61Hz*FreqStepValue
 FreqStepValue = 0~65535

Node ID Function with FSK

When HM-TRLR works in FSK modulation, you can set the Node ID, when the function of the Node ID is turned on, the first byte the transmitter sends is the Node ID of the receiver, and the receiver receives only the Node ID that matches with it. When the function of Node ID is turned on, the module can start the Broadcast ID function; when the Broadcast starts, the receiver can receive data both from the Node ID and the Broadcast.

Note:When this function is on, the interval between the two frames of data is not less than the Td; the first byte of each frame of data is the Node ID or Broadcast ID.

Td (Time Delay)

TD for FSK modulation

Td is the delay of time between module 1(RXD pin received data) and module 2 (TXD pin transfer data). The time delay (Td) will change with different baud rate, as shown below:

RTXD.png

BAUD RATE.png

Td for LoRa Modulation

As air data is transmitted in batches when the module is in LoRa Modulation, if the data exceeds Payload Length and the air rate is less than serial rate, the data receivered will be intermittent. In the transmitter, you can check whether the HM-TRLR buffer is full or not through the STATUS pin.

Air rate is higher than the serial rate, as shown below:

RTXD.png

Air rate is less than the rate of the serial rate, as shown below:

Testing Conditions:

1. Spread Factor = 9

2. Singal Band Width = 250 kHz

3. Code Rate = 1

4. PayLoad = 32 bytes

  Command Format:AT+CmdType=? <CR>
  Command Return Succeed:  CmdType: Para1, Para2…<CR>
  Command Return Failed:  ERROR: m<CR>

Parameter interpretation when an error returns

When an execution error is returned, the modules will return ERROR:m.

Therefore it is necessary for the user to save the new parameter values; you can use this command to write the parameters changed previously in Flash Memory. Warning: Due to the time of writing Flash memory is limited, Flash Memory may be damaged if you keep rewriting, and you can rewrite no more than10000 times.
