2. RF Module Operation 2.1. Serial Communications The XBee/XBee-PRO OEM RF Modules interface to a host device through a logic-level asynchronous serial port. Through its serial port, the module can communicate with any logic and voltage compatible UART; or through a level translator to any serial device (For example: Through a MaxStream proprietary RS-232 or USB interface board). 2.1.1.
XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation 2.1.2. Transparent Operation By default, XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules operate in Transparent Mode. When operating in this mode, the modules act as a serial line replacement - all UART data received through the DI pin is queued up for RF transmission. When RF data is received, the data is sent out the DO pin.

XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation 2.2. ADC and Digital I/O Line Support The XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules support ADC (Analog-to-digital conversion) and digital I/O line passing. The following pins support multiple functions: Table 2‐01. Pin functions and their associated pin numbers and commands AD = Analog‐to‐Digital Converter, DIO = Digital Input/Output Pin functions not applicable to this section are denoted within (parenthesis).
XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation 2.2.2. API Support I/O data is sent out the UART using an API frame. All other data can be sent and received using Transparent Operation [refer to p10] or API framing if API mode is enabled (AP > 0).
XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation 2.2.6. I/O Line Passing Virtual wires can be set up between XBee/XBee-PRO Modules. When an RF data packet is received that contains I/O data, the receiving module can be setup to update any enabled outputs (PWM and DIO) based on the data it receives. Note that I/O lines are mapped in pairs. For example: AD0 can only update PWM0 and DI5 can only update DO5).
XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation 2.3. XBee/XBee-PRO Networks The following IEEE 802.15.4 network types are supported by the XBee/XBee-PRO RF modules: • NonBeacon • NonBeacon (w/ Coordinator) The following terms will be used to explicate the network operations: Table 2‐02. Terms and definitions Term Definition PAN Personal Area Network - A data communication network that includes one or more End Devices and optionally a Coordinator.
XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation 2.3.3. Association Association is the establishment of membership between End Devices and a Coordinator and is only applicable in NonBeacon (w/ Coordinator) networks. The establishment of membership is useful in scenarios that require a central unit (Coordinator) to relay messages to or gather data from several remote units (End Devices), assign channels or assign PAN IDs.
XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation 2. Check A2 parameter - Reassign_Channel Flag (bit 1) Set (bit 1 = 1) - The Coordinator issues an Energy Scan. The Energy Scan selects one channel and scans for energy on that channel. The duration of the scan is specified by the SD (Scan Duration) parameter. Once the scan is completed on a channel, the Energy Scan selects the next channel and begins a new scan on that channel.
XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation The End Device selects a Coordinator to associate with according to the A1 parameter “Reassign_PANID” and “Reassign_Channel” flags: Reassign_PANID Bit Set (bit 0 = 1)- End Device can associate with a PAN with any ID value. Reassign_PANID Bit Not Set (bit 0 = 0) - End Device will only associate with a PAN whose ID setting matches the ID setting of the End Device.
XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation 2.4. XBee/XBee-PRO Addressing Every RF data packet sent over-the-air contains a Source Address and Destination Address field in its header. The RF module conforms to the 802.15.4 specification and supports both short 16-bit addresses and long 64-bit addresses. A unique 64-bit IEEE source address is assigned at the factory and can be read with the SL (Serial Number Low) and SH (Serial Number High) commands.
XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation 2.5. Modes of Operation XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules operate in five modes. Figure 2‐07. Modes of Operation 2.5.1. Idle Mode When not receiving or transmitting data, the RF module is in Idle Mode.
XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation Direct Transmission A NonBeaconing Coordinator can be configured to use only Direct Transmission by setting the SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) parameter to “0”. Also, a NonBeaconing Coordinator using indirect transmissions will revert to direct transmission if it knows the destination module is awake.
XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation 2.5.3. Sleep Mode Sleep Modes enable the RF module to enter states of low-power consumption when not in use. In order to enter Sleep Mode, one of the following conditions must be met (in addition to the module having a non-zero SM parameter value): • Sleep_RQ (pin 9) is asserted. • The module is idle (no data transmission or reception) for the amount of time defined by the ST (Time before Sleep) parameter.
XBee/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xAx [2007.05.031] Chapter 2 ‐ RF Module Operation Pin Doze (SM = 2) • Pin/Host-controlled • Typical power-down current: < 50 µA • Wake-up time: 2 msec Pin Doze Mode functions as does Pin Hibernate Mode; however, Pin Doze features faster wake-up time and higher power consumption. To wake a sleeping module operating in Pin Doze Mode, de-assert Sleep_RQ (pin 9).
