In order to connect a demoboard :

1. Connect the USB cable to the PC.

The Demoboard is supplied directly through the USB connection. In case of mobility is needed, a +9V battery can be used. When battery is plugged, it has priority on the USB power supply.

2. Check that stand-by (STBY, SW1) and programming (PROG, SW3) switches are turned

OFF.

3. Switch the DemoBoard ON (SW4). Check that the yellow LED LD2 lights on when

power supplying the DemoBoard.

This chapter contains a step-by-step tutorial on how to set up communication between two ME50-868 modules and how to transfer a simple frame from one module to another. One module will be configured as meter and the other module will act as “other” device (data concentrator). Telit SR Manger Tool is used both to configure the modules and to transfer data between them.

1. Switch on the first DemoBoard and connect it to the PC via the RS-232 serial cable;

7. In the bottom panel the “OK” response from ME50-868 is shown. Now the module in

the first DemoBoard is configured to work as meter in T2 mode and is ready to send or receive data. Keep this window open because it will be used afterwards to send an example frame.

8. To configure the second module as “other” device, open a new instance of SR

Manager Tool and follow the same steps shown above to open the configuration window, this time selecting the serial port connected to the second DemoBoard.

In the “MBus Management” window, send the “ATO” command as done previously with the first DemoBoard. Now both modules are ready to transfer data.

10. To illustrate data communication, an example frame containing a measured volume of

876543 liters will be used. Based on the settings applied to the first module, to send a frame the fields to be sent to the serial port are C-Field and CI-Field, plus an optional Data-Field. In this example, a C-Field value of 0x44 (SEND / NO REPLY) and a CIField value of 0x78 (indicating a frame from a meter to a data concentrator, without data header) is chosen; the Data-Field is composed of the byte sequence (in hexadecimal notation) 0B 13 43 65 87, indicating a value of 876543 liters expressed with BCD coding. The total byte sequence to send to the serial port of the first DemoBoard is: 44 78 0B 13 43 65 87.
