DM2100
916.50 MHz
The DM2100 is a 916.5 MHz transceiver module designed for wireless industrial sensor applica
tions. The DM2100 is equipped with seven I/O ports. Each port can be configured as an analog
input, a digital input, or a digital output. The DM2100 is also equipped with a serial data port. The
communication range of the DM2100 in an “open field” environment is typically 200 meters/hop.
The DM2100 combines RFM’s low-current ASH radio technology with low-power microprocessor
technology to achieve very long battery life. The DM2100 employs NOKOTA’s SOS-OEA V1.5
multi-mode mesh network protocol, which provides robust and flexible wireless network routing, a
rich application command set, and a powerful and easy-to-use network management utility. The
DM2100 is certified under FCC 15.249 regulations.

DM2100 Theory of Operation
The major components of the DM2100 include the
TR1000 ASH transceiver and the Texas Instruments
MSP430F148 microcontroller. The TR1000 operates on
916.5 MHz, with a nominal output power of 1 mW. The
MSP430F148 operates from an internal oscillator
referenced to an external 32.768 kHz “watch” crystal.
The MSP430F148 UART is used to provide a CMOS
serial interface on connector J2. The microcontroller’s
general purpose I/O pins are also available on connector J2 for external monitoring or control. Each of
11 12 13 14
these pins can be separately configured through the RF
network as a logic input, a logic output, or an analog
input. Note that GP0 is dedicated to measuring the
value of the received signal strength indicator (RSSI)
circuit and should always be set as an analog input.
GP1 - GP7 can be used in any configuration needed by
the application. The three LEDs on the DM2100 display
RF communication activity.
DM2100 operation is based on NOKOTA’s SOS-OEA
V1.5 multi-mode mesh network protocol, which sup
ports data and command transfers through both the se
rial interface and the RF channel. See the SOS-OEA
V1.5 Protocol User’s Guide for further details.
