7.2. Parameter setting instruction

Parameter

Description

Baud rate

The serial port baud rate of a wireless data station at work，1200bps～115200bps。

Odd-even check

Support 8N1:no check ；8E1:even-check；8O1:odd-check； Both are 8-bit data bits and 1-bit stop bits.

Air data rate（bps）

Wireless communication rate, also known as air baud rate air rate high, data transmission speed, transmission of the same data time delay is small, but the transmission distance will become shorter.

Transmitting power

In order to ensure the working efficiency, it is recommended to use the maximum power. If the transmitted power is reduced, the communication distance will become shorter and the required current will be reduced

FEC

The lost or interfered data can be partially corrected by complex encoding, which can improve the equivalent receiving sensitivity by about 3dBm. Turning off this function can reduce the communication delay.

Transmission mode

Fixed length transmission: automatic subcontracting in traditional wireless transmission mode, with a maximum of 77 bytes per packet. Continuous transmission: unlimited packet length, supporting wireless continuous transmission.

Wake Up Time

There is no direct relationship with the communication delay. If the customer needs low-power applications, this option shall be adjusted as required. In the power-saving mode, the longer the wake-up time, the lower the power consumption of the receiving end, and the greater the communication delay.

Station Address

Internal address of wireless data station, stations with the same address as those independent of Modbus address can communicate with each other. This feature can be used to realize software filtering grouping input range :0~65535, decimal number.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co,;Ltd E90-DTU (230N33) user manual

Frequency Channel

It is equivalent to the working frequency of the wireless data transmission station. Each channel corresponds to its different working frequency. Theoretically, different frequency channels cannot communicate with each other，If there are multiple groups of wireless data stations in the same area, the

communication frequency interval is suggested to be 2~5MHz.

Cipher

function

Only stations with the same ciphertext can communicate, and the secondary ciphertext can only be written but cannot be read.

11.Note

1. Please keep the warranty card of the equipment which includes the factory number (and important technical

parameters) and is important for user's future maintenance and new equipment.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co,;Ltd E90-DTU (230N33) user manual

2. Transceiver during the warranty period, if the quality of the product itself rather than man-made damage or

lightning and other natural disasters caused by damage, enjoys free warranty; please do not repair by yourself, the problem and please contact with our company when problem occurring, we offer the first-class after-sales service.

3. Please do not operate the transceiver in some flammable places such as coal mines or near explosive atmospheres

(such as detonators).

4. Please use the appropriate DC power supply, high frequency interference ability, s mall ripple, and enough load

capacity are required; it’s better to have over current, over voltage protection and lightning protection and othe r functions to ensure that transceiver working properly.

5. Please do not use it in the working environment beyond the transceiver environmental characteristics , such as

high temperature, humidity, low temperature, strong electromagnetic fields or dust larger environment.

6. Please do not continuously keep transceiver to transmit in full capacity, or the transmitter might be damaged.

7. Please connect the ground with the external ground of the power supply (such as PC, PLC, etc.) , otherwise it is

easy to burn out the communication interface; do not plug the interface with power supplying.

8. When testing, please connect the antenna or 50 Ω load, otherwise transceiver will be da maged easily ;the distance

from the antenna is better than 2 meters, so as to avoid harm, please do not touch the antenna when transmitting.

9. Wireless data transceiver has different communication distance in different environments , communication

distance is influenced by temperature, humidity, obstacle density, obstacle volume and electromagnetic environment; in order to ensure stable communication, it is recommended to reserve at least 50 % of the communication distance.

10. When communication distance is not perfect, it is recommended to improve the antenna quality and the

installation mode of the antenna. You can send mail to support@cdebyte.com for support.

11. When choosing power supply, it is recommended to keep at least 50% current left and the ripple must not exceed
