  • Page 11: Working Mode Of Hac-Lbee/S Wireless Module

    SHENZHEN HAC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. Working Mode of HAC-LBee/S Wireless Module 5.1. Working Mode of HAC-LBee/S Wireless Module There are three working modes for HAC-LBee/S. They are: Transparent Mode, API Mode, AT Command Mode. 5.1.1 Transparent Mode By default, Modules operate under transparent working Mode. When operating under transparent mode, the modules act as a serial line replacement - all UART data received through the RXD pin is queued up for RF transmission.

The module will send data frames to the application containing status packets; as well as source, RSSI and payload information from received data packets. The API operation option facilitates many operations such as the examples cited below: •...
  • Page 13 HAC-LBee/S manual V3.X SHENZHEN HAC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. saved to non-volatile memory using the WR (Write) Command. Otherwise, parameters are restored to previously saved values after the module is reset. System Response: When a command is sent to the module, the module will parse and execute the command.
  • Page 14 HAC-LBee/S manual V3.X SHENZHEN HAC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. API mode. 4. Under the API mode, input 3-character command sequence “+++” will let the module switch to AT Command mode. 5. Under API mode, when using AT Command to setup transparent mode (ATAP 0), the module will switch to transparent mode.

(Read only) 5.2.1 AP <Serial Interfacing> The AP command is used to enable the RF module to operate using a frame-based API instead of using the default Transparent (UART) mode.
  • Page 16 <Networking {Addressing}> The CH command is used to set/read the operating channel on which RF connections are made between RF modules. HAC-LBee/S provides 16 channels (0x0B-0x1A). In order for modules to communicate with each other, the modules must share the same channel number.
  • Page 17 64-bit destination address. When combined with the DL (Destination Address Low) parameter, it defines the destination address used for transmission. Under transparent mode, HAC-LBee/S sends data with this destination address. When the destination address (DH + DL parameters) is 0x000000000000FFFF, HAC-LBee/S will send the data through broadcasting.

  • Page 23 HAC-LBee/S manual V3.X SHENZHEN HAC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. 5.3 API Operation By default, RF Modules act as a serial line replacement (Transparent Operation) - all UART data received through the RXD pin is queued up for RF transmission. When the module receives an RF packet, the data is sent out the TXD pin with no additional information.
  • Page 24 HAC-LBee/S manual V3.X SHENZHEN HAC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. To test data integrity, a checksum is calculated and verified. To calculate: Not including frame delimiters and length (1-3 bytes), add all bytes keeping only the lowest 8 bits of the result and subtract from 0xFF.
