1 Introduction

USB 300 is a small USB stick which connects PC’s or smart home
servers to the world of EnOcean based radio products.

EnOcean Alliance 3D-label
available on request

USB 300 is equipped with the TCM 310 transceiver module and the
gateway controller software. It provides bidirectional EnOcean radio
protocol to devices with USB interface. Radio messages are sent and
received through a virtual serial interface (FTDI Virtual COM Port).
USB 300 provides additional information like signal strength (RSSI).

Control commands can be sent, e.g. to configure repeater functionali­ty. Further information about supported commands and the software
features can be found within the TCM 310 user manual:

http://www.enocean.com/en/enocean_modules/tcm-310

USB 300 is available for 868 MHz, 315 MHz and 902 MHz:

USB 300 (868MHz) has been CE certified and fulfils R&TTE EU

directive on radio equipment

USB 300C (315MHz) and USB 300U (902MHz) fulfils FCC / IC

requirements

Plug’n play device drivers are available from USB chip manufacturer

FTDI Limited for the operating systems Microsoft Windows, Linux and
Apple Mac OS: http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm

If you want to develop for other host platforms, you can use or adapt

available C-source code for Linux OS from FTDI Website:

USB 300 uses EnOcean Serial Protocol 3 for control commands and

data communication. A description of ESP 3 is available at:

http://www.enocean.com/en/knowledge-base/

USB 300 is based on a TCM 310 radio module, specific features and
commands are described at:

http://www.enocean.com/en/enocean_modules/tcm-310/

The content of EnOcean radio telegrams is standardized by the EnOcean

Alliance. You will find the latest definition of EnOcean Equipment Pro­files (EEP) at: http://www.enocean-alliance.org/

5 Additional Features of USB 300

USB 300 can be used as repeater of EnOcean telegrams; this will ex-

pand the range of radio devices. Repeater command has to be sent after
every power up. For details see ESP3 command description of
CO_WR_REPEATER within the ESP3 description:

USB 300 can filter EnOcean telegrams; this can avoid heavy data load

for the host system. For details see ESP3 command description of
CO_WR_FILTER_ADD within the ESP3 description.

USB 300 supports remote management of self-powered radio nodes.

For details see TCM 310 and ESP3 command description of RE­MOTE_MAN_COMMAND within the ESP3 description.

USB 300 supports smart acknowledge of self-powered radio nodes.

This feature enables bidirectional communication for self-powered radio
nodes. For details see TCM 310 and ESP3 command description of
SMART_ACK_COMMAND within the ESP3 description.

USB 300 commands are defined within TCM 310 Gateway Controller and

ESP3 documentation is available at:

http://www.enocean.com/en/knowledge-base/

Hint:
For advanced analysis and protocol debugging we recommend EnOcean Developer Kit

EDK 350 with DolphinView Advanced and Sniffer Software on TCM 3x0.

7 Restrictions and Hints

USB 300 should not be exposed to rapid temperature changes shortly

before or during operation. Condensation of moisture might damage the
device.

USB 300 is not intended to be used in rough environment with heavy

vibrations or mechanical shocks.

The USB front cap is used as handling protection during delivery.
USB 300C and USB 300U version:

In order to optimize radio performance you have to stretch out
whip antenna. Please do not cut of, coil up, brake or bend frequently.

USB 300C

Some PCs, notebooks or set top boxes might emit electromagnetic noise
in the frequency band of 315MHz. EnOcean recommends the usage of
USB extension cord (>=30cm) to reduce noise level of PCs.

Installation location of radio nodes should be carefully planned. Applica-

tion note AN001 at http://www.enocean.com/en/application-notes/
will explain basic rules.

Page 12 ©EnOcean GmbH

Any USB 300 configurations done by ESP3 commands (e.g. repeater on,

filter, maturity time) will be lost in case of power off. If you need these
configurations permanent, make sure USB 300 has continues power or
re-send commands after power down.

USB 300 has been designed for usage with DolphinView Basic. For ad-

vanced protocol analysis and debugging we recommend the usage of
EnOcean Developer Kit EDK 300(C) with DolphinView Advanced and
Sniffer Software on TCM 3x0.

USB 300 has been optimized for cyclic sending/receiving status values

and not for continuous data communication; therefore the radio interface
is limited to receive approx. 90 telegrams per second. Higher traffic can
lead to telegram loss.

Microsoft Windows increases the COM port number for every installed

USB 300 (FTDI virtual COM port device). If the number reaches 255, you
have to reset the device driver and follow the instructions from the com­pany FTDI.
