RC-DTU-LORA868 RC-CC1101-SPI-434 FUNCTIONALITY DTU Device can work in two modality : General Transparent Transmission Mode In this mode, all actions of the DTU are controlled via AT commands. These commands tell the DTU what behavior to adopt, such as entering the receiving state or transmitting data. Master-Slave Transparent Transmission Mode In this mode, the DTU assumes two roles: master and slave. As soon as the DTU is powered on, it enters the receiving state and constantly listens for any data to receive. When it receives data, it transmits it to the RS232 and RS485 interfaces. If RS232...

RC-DTU-LORA868 GENERAL TRANSPARENT TRANSMISSION MODE The following figure illustrates the sequence diagram of the general transparent transmission mode. Two LoRa nodes, LoRa1 Node and LoRa2 Node, are used for illustration, each controlled by a user, referred to as Side 1 User and Side 2 User, respectively. Initially, Side 1 User issues an AT command to the LoRa1 Node, causing it to enter receiving mode for a duration of 5 seconds, as indicated by labels No.1 and No.2. 5.Received Hello world string 8.Send string CC.Send CE®(\| At this time, Side 2 User sends a "Hello world” string to the LoRa2...

MASTER-SLAVE TRASPARENT TRASNSMISSION MODE After entering master-slave mode, the host will wait for data on RS485 or RS232 when idle. If data is received, it will transmit it to the slave. Reset Button LoRa INIT Suppose that the following settings are made in LoRa DTU: AT+Freq=868000000 AT+SF=7 AT+BW=2 AT+CR=1 AT+Mode=1 // Set DTU to master mode. Rs232 or Rs485 incoming ? After these settings are completed, the internal process of LoRa DTU is as follows: After pressing the reset key, DTU enters continuous receiving mode after initialization.

MASTER-SLAVE TRASPARENT TRASNSMISSION MODE If DTU sets the slave state in master-slave mode, when DTU is idle, it will turn on LoRa receiving mode, and it will wait for any data coming in the radio frequency. If there is any data coming in, it will send the data to the host controller via RS232 and Rs485. Suppose the following settings are made in LoRa DTU: Press the reset key to reset and make it start working. After the above settings are completed, the internal process of LoRa DTU runs as follows: After pressing the reset key, DTU will enter the receiving state after initialization. 1) When...
