INTRODUCTION
NOVUS Air IEEE 802.15.4 module is a low energy microcontrolled RF transceiver solution for 2.4 GHz IEEE
802.15.4 protocol. The device was developed to complement Novus Automation Inc. solutions, providing a
modular wireless communication interface to its products. Anny application protocol based on the IEEE 802.15.4
standard may be implemented. The module is intended to operate integrated in industrial automation solutions
provided by Novus Automation Inc. and its partners and is not intended to be sold separately.
The physical interface is implemented through the transceiver Atmel AT86RF233, controlled by the ATSML21
chip, a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0 microcontroller which implements the MAC layer of IEEE 802.15.4 stack and the AT
commands to be used in the application firmware. NOVUS Air can be controlled and configured by sending AT
commands from a host microcontroller through UART interface.
