draft 29 Jan 2013 1 Product Overview Introduction The Gridstream SCADA Series 4 Single Board Radio (Gridstream S4SBR) is for use by OEM vendors wanting to incorporate Gridstream capability into their SCADA/DA and similar products. The design of the board allows integration with an OEM enclosure and communication with the customer's equipment via a 14-pin connector. Table 1 - 4, "I/O Connector Pin Functions and Acceptable Voltage Levels," provides details for the interface.
draft 29 Jan 2013 Chapter 1 - Product Overview Landis+Gyr This Gridstream S4SBR is based upon existing Gridstream architecture and will operate as a node within a Gridstream network. It is similar in construction to a Gridstream metering endpoint, but with an optional onboard antenna and I/O ports. It has received Modular FCC approval when used with the approved cable and antenna.

draft 29 Jan 2013 Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product Overview Electrical Interface The electrical interface for power and control circuitry is provided via a 14-pin keyed connector located on the bottom (non-component) side of the board and shown in Figure 1 - 2. The Gridstream S4SBR requires a nominal 5.0 VDC supply, with a total input range of 4.0 to 7.0 VDC. I/O Connector Figure 1 - 2.
draft 29 Jan 2013 Chapter 1 - Product Overview Landis+Gyr Pin Functions Pin Outs for the connector as described below are designed to interface with developer OEM architecture. When pins are connected to non developer boards or when standard interfaces are required without use of the USB cable (P/N 19-2325, as shown in Figure 1 - 6), appropriate design constraints (power and logic level) must be adhered to (See “Gridstream SBR Logic” on page 30). Figure 1 - 3.
draft 29 Jan 2013 Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product Overview 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 is linearly regulated on the board. While the linear regulation can remove some noise, Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) varies with frequency. If the power source is particularly noisy, filtering may be required.
draft 29 Jan 2013 Chapter 1 - Product Overview Landis+Gyr 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 level supply, 2.5 VDC. Baud rates on this port default to 9,600 bps but, using RadioShop, are configurable from 1,200 bps to 115,200 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.
draft 29 Jan 2013 Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product Overview Pin 5 (ANALOG_IN1) and Pin 10 (ANALOG_IN2) These pins are analog inputs to the device. Voltages must be scaled to the 0 to 2.5 VDC range. The Gridstream S4SBR returns the DC voltage as HEX values in the memory locations as described in “Analog Input Functionality” on page 31. To obtain the HEX values, a DCW must be developed to read and send the HEX values to the host computer.
draft 29 Jan 2013 Chapter 1 - Product Overview Landis+Gyr A logic low (pin connected to ground) reduces the RF output power level to approximately 100 mW for use in environments where high RF output power is not required or only low input power is available to the device. When the USB cable is used to power the board, the pin is automatically brought low. This pin is a digital input, driven internally at TTL supply level.
draft 29 Jan 2013 Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product Overview Pin 14 (3.3V_Logic_supply) This pin is used as an output to provide 3.3V for the purpose of logic interfacing. To reduce chances of electrical damage, this pin is current limited to 300uA and caution should be taken when connecting to external circuit to ensure it doesn’t exceed the 300µA limit. For additional information about the purpose of this pin contact Landis+Gyr.

draft 29 Jan 2013 Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product Overview On-board Antenna The on-board antenna design is an F-antenna (-0 dB). This design was chosen because its performance is more broad-band relative to a slot antenna, and its pattern is somewhat omnidirectional. This version of the product does not allow an external antenna in conjunction with the on-board antenna. Figure 1 - 8. S4SBR On-board Antenna NOTE: See “On-Board Antenna Specifications” on page 39 for antenna technical specifications.

draft 29 Jan 2013 2 Configuration & Testing Overview In this overview, the Gridstream SCADA Series 4 Single Board Radio (Gridstream S4SBR) is configured using the RadioShop program. Setup is similar to setting up and configuring any Gridstream Radio. Refer to the RadioShop Getting Started Guide, Landis+Gyr publication 98-1008, for further details about using RadioShop. NOTE: RadioShop’s version number changes as new features and functionality are added to the application.
draft 29 Jan 2013 Chapter 2 - Configuration & Testing Landis+Gyr Figure 2 - 1. Connecting to a Head-end Radio Once connected, the local radio's LAN address will appear on the list at the top left-hand side of the screen, and the radio configuration will be displayed in the main window (Figure 2 - 1). This radio can now be used to communicate with the Gridstream S4SBR and configure it as needed. Figure 2 - 2.
draft 29 Jan 2013 Landis+Gyr Chapter 2 - Configuration & Testing NOTE: All RF Mesh radios ship with a default Network ID, or CRC, of 670. In order to communicate with the Gridstream S4SBR, your local radio will have to be re-configured to match the Network ID (default 670) of the Gridstream S4SBR. After re-configuring the Gridstream S4SBR to match the customer’s unique Network ID, the local radio will need to be reset to its original network ID.

draft 29 Jan 2013 Chapter 3 - Development Environment Landis+Gyr Figure 3 - 2. Board Components Schematic NOTE: With the digital input switch tying the digital I/O pin on the Gridstream S4SBR to either a logic 0 or a logic 1 voltage level, this Development Test Platform One does not have functions to test the digital output of the Gridstream S4SBR. It is recommended to NOT configure the digital I/O pin as output when the Gridstream S4SBR is connected to the test interface board.
draft 29 Jan 2013 Landis+Gyr Chapter 3 - Development Environment NOTE: The S4SBR onboard VDC regulator is not capable of supplying power to additional devices beyond the S4SBR. Digital Input Digital input to Gridstream S4SBR can be tested by toggling the two switches on the test board that correspond to D1 for DIGITAL_IO1 and D2 for DIGITAL_IO2. The switch will toggle between 0V and supply VDC.
