 CDA70 MODEM DESCRIPTION

2. Description of the CDA70 radio modem

2.1. General
The CDA70 radio modem is a device for wireless data transmission. Communication
between two radio modems is a simplex one and is carried out on a single frequency. Modems
work in frequency band of 143 to 174 MHz (CDA70V) and 403 to 470 MHz (CDA70U).
Transmission rate is 21.7 kbit/sec when using the FFSK modulation and channel spacing 20
and 25 kHz or 10.8 kbit/sec when using channel spacing 12.5 kHz. Transmission rate is 10.8
kbit/sec when using the GMSK modulation and channel spacing 20 and 25 kHz or 5.4 kbit/sec
when using channel spacing 12.5 kHz. Transmission power output of the radio modem is
adjustable from 10 mW to 5 W.
The CDA70 radio data modem is controlled by a 32-bit communication processor
providing communication on the radio channel and individual interfaces. The CDA70 modem
has four serial data interfaces (communication ports) and one with direct attachment
of input/output peripherals for data collection and CIO technological process control. It is
possible to set transfer parameters and communication protocol separately for each port.
As a result, you may use the radio modem to communicate with various user interfaces using
different communication protocols on the serial interface.
The communication protocol used for communication between modems on the radio
channel provides for access of the modem to the radio channel, collision solving,
retranslations and other functions necessary for cooperation of modems within a radio data
network. It allows creating of a large network on a single radio channel and independent
operation of multiple radio networks on a single frequency. The radio data modem CDA-70 is
possible to use in combination with other modems of the system AGNES. Description
of the system AGNES is in reference [2].

2.2. Examples of possible applications

• Security systems
• Telematics
• Telemetry
• Vending and dispenser machines

2.3. Description of individual components

2.3.1. Radio component
Working frequency of the radio component is synthetizer-controlled separately for
reception and transmission. It is tuneable within a broad frequency band (see Technical
parameters table). Several levels of the radio module transmitter power output can be set
(from 10 mW to 5 W). The controlling microcomputer program controls setting of the working
frequency and transmitting power output. The radio module supplies the microcomputer
with information on the radio signal level being received (RSSI – Received Signal Strength
Indicator). This information is used for measuring of the signal strength between individual
nodes of the radio network.

 CDA70 MODEM DESCRIPTION

2.3.2. Modem component

The modem part converts digital bit flow from the microcomputer to the FFSK or GMSK
analogue modulation, which is brought to the transmitter of the radio data module. And vice
versa, it converts analogue signal from the receiver to digital bit flow to the microcomputer.
The modem part is designed on the basis of a CML integrated circuit.

2.3.3. Microcomputer
The base of the radio data modem controlling microcomputer is represented by a 32-bit
processor with 1 MB of RAM, 512 kB of FLASH ROM and real time clock circuit with a back-up
power supply.
On one side, the microcomputer is connected to the radio data module via the modem
component; on the side of user interface, it is connected to circuits generating signals within
the RS232, RS485, MBUS or Ethernet standard levels. The microcomputer provides for
connection of up to four user interfaces. All ports are terminated by RJ45 connectors marked
PORT1, PORT2, PORT3 and ETH. All RS232 ports are protected against overvoltage
incoming via data cable. If a device with RS485 interface is to be connected, a level converter
suitable for the appropriate application can be connected to the serial port. Different converters
will be used in case of connection on a short distance or in case galvanic separation is
necessary. The modem's microcomputer can be set for necessary control of the converter
(RS485). To each interface, a device with different communication protocol can be connected -
i.e. the microcomputer can also work as a converter of protocols between individual serial
ports. The wide range of radio modem functions can be set via any of RS232 communication
ports.
In addition, the microprocessor manages numerous functions of servicing
and installation purposes. Apart from other important information, the microcomputer memory
records data transmission statistics, strength of signals from individual radio modems,
statistics of communication on individual serial ports, power failures, voltage of backup power
source and temperature inside the radio data modem. See Service manual for description
of service functions.
Configuration of the CDA70 radio data modem is stored in the permanent FLASH ROM
memory. See the Configuration of radio modem chapter for description of its settings.

2.3.4. Inputs and outputs for telemetry

As an option, customers may wish to install inputs and outputs for data collection
and controlling of technological processes in the radio modem. These signals are then led
to an RJ45 connector marked I/O. Five signals are led to this connector. Each of them can be
used either as input or output. Input is analogue 0 to 5V or digital with adjustable threshold.
The output is an open collector able to switch up to 500 mA. Reading and control of I/O signals
is possible both via the radio data network and from any serial RS232 interface. Two radio
data modems can make up a simple technology control, where changes on one modem input
signals can control remote output signals of the other modem and vice versa.
For multi-purpose usage, we supply an interface between the I/O connector
and the technology providing configurable voltage and current inputs, inputs for resistance
measurement (thermometers, barometers etc.), binary inputs with optical isolation and relay

outputs. With the equipment you may establish simple telemetry at low cost, without the use
of industrial control automat.

2.3.5. User interface protocols

For user interface, a range of standard protocols is implemented:
• AT modem
• PROFIBUS
• MBUS
• MODBUS
• Asynchronous transparent line
• Transparent bus
• Sauter
• IWKA
• SBUS
• RADOM
• RDS
New protocols, currently not supported by the radio modem, can be implemented
according to the customer's needs.

2.13. Mechanical drawing of CDA70 and recommendations for montage

For the majority of applications with a built-in modem in a switch board it is possible to
recognize two sorts of environments:
• nonpublic and industry environment of low voltage with high interference,
• public environment of low voltage without high interference.
For both of these environments it is possible to mount modems to the switch board,
which it doesn't need to have no examination immunity or issues in connection with EMC
according to EN 60439-1+A1.

20
 CDA70 MODEM DESCRIPTION

For compliance of EN 60439 - 1 + A1 specification it is necessary observe next

assembly of the modem to the switch - board:
• round antenna we recommend to observe a distance of 6 cm from cables and metal
surfaces on every side according to the next picture due to the elimination
of interference, while using an external antenna except for the switch-board it is
necessary to fit a lightening conductor,
• for single cables we recommend to bind the bunch according to the following picture,
for this use we recommend:
ƒ length of the bunch (combination of power supply and data cables) can
be maximum 1,5 m, if length of data cables exceeds 1,5 m or in the
event of, the cable leads towards the switch - board, we recommend to
use fit over – voltage protectors (surge suppressors),
ƒ with data cables they mustn't carry cable with reticular tension
~ 230 V/50 Hz,
ƒ all signals to sensors must be twisted pair.

 CIO DESCRIPTION

3. CIO - analogue inputs and binary outputs

3.1. Introduction
CDA70 is equipped with a user interface (I/O) for scanning and processing of analogue
signals and for controlling (setting) of binary signals. The user can use five adjustable inputs
outputs, which are placed on the I/O connector at the back panel of the module. It is possible
to use INAC (INAC) signal on the supply connector for checking the presence of DC voltage
for power source (can be functional only if there is accumulator supply backup). Output binary
signal PWRSV is linked on the same connector (open collector) for automatic disconnection of
the whole device from supply voltage. The signal can be used for applications where
minimizing of electric power input is crucial. Internal analogue values accessible to the user
are also included in the concept of external signal processing and control. These are
represented by values of direct supply voltage on the CDA70 (UN+) input and temperature
inside the module (TEP).

3.2. Description of multi-purpose signal evaluation and reception

On the input/output, there are five signals, which can be processed and controlled by
settings of the CIO module. It is possible to control these signals remotely or to send their
values in the data form to a remote location of a data network.
Each of the five signals can be configured as an analogue input, binary input or binary
output. All five signals may also be set individually as necessary. Some signals can be input
and other can be output at the same time.

3.2.1. Analogue input

Every 100 msec, the voltage value of the analogue input is read, converted to a digital
decabit value and adjusted by the calibration constant. The value is further average computed
according to user setting and saved in the computer memory. The basic range of the input
voltage is 0 to 5V.
Following a signal change by a value bigger than the default hysteresis, a change
event is generated. The change under defined module settings generates report on values of
all active signals and sends it to the defined destination.
Even if the input signal is analogue-processed, it has a binary interpretation saved in
the memory. This is created by comparing the signal value to the control level set. At CIO data
reception, both analogue and binary values of active signals are saved to the report. It is
possible to set CIO parameters in order that the resulting binary value is inverted.

3.2.2. Binary output

Binary output is implemented by a transistor with open collector connected to I/O
signal. When inactive (log 0), the transistor does not conduct and acts like an opened switch.
When active (log 1), the transistor acts like a switch connecting the I/O signal to the ground
(GND). In both cases, the I/O value is measured as an analogue input too. The status of the
switched circuit is being checked this way.

3.3. Measuring other CDA70 signals

3.3.1. Measuring the supply voltage
In CDA70, two more signals are evaluated. The first one is called UN+ (DC SUPLY); it
is an internal one and it measures the supply voltage at the supply terminals of CDA70. The
measuring range is 0 to 20V. The supply voltage value influences the function of CDA70. If it
drops under the set value, the VF module is disconnected because its correct function is no
longer secured and thereby, at the same time, the discharge current of a backup battery (if
used) is decreased.
The second one is INAC (AC SUPLY) linked to the supply connector (see the supply
connector description). The measuring range is 0 to 20V. The signal is protected against
overvoltage by a protective element, which blocks the voltage higher than 16V. INAC is
designed for measuring of network supply voltage presence. A change of the value is recorded
into CDA70 statistics as a dropout and start (rise) of the 230V supply voltage.
Beware - it is impossible to connect 230V supply voltage directly to the input!

3.3.2. Measuring internal CDA70 temperature

The temperature measuring inside the CDA70 unit is performed to secure correct
function of the radio module. If the temperature exceeds the set decision level, the VF module
is disconnected from the supply voltage, because its correct function is no longer guaranteed
above such temperature. At the same time, it is thus protected against damage due to thermal
overload.

3.3.3. Measuring DSR output signal level

On CDA70 side, DSR signals on individual user interfaces are output signals. They are
not internally controlled. Individual signals are connected via 560 ohms resistors to the 12V
supply voltage (the same voltage as at the supply connector of CDA70).
Due to the loading of DSR output by a 100 ohm resistor to the earth, the supply voltage
on the output drops to 2V. CDA70 recognises the connection of the service cable and initiates
the communication on this user interface using the ARNEP protocol with defined
communication parameters. It is forbidden for user applications to load the output so that the

29
 CIO DESCRIPTION

voltage would drop below 3V. The signal can be used for user applications within the range of
3V to 12V.
As well as the other signals, DSR values are accessible within CIO communication
reports (see the ARNEP protocol description).

3.4. Output signal for disconnection of supply voltage

The only exclusively "output" signal is PWRSV (Power Save). The signal is linked to
the supply connector (see the supply connector description). It is connected as universal I/O
signal outputs. This is an open collector that switches PWRSV signal to the ground (GND).
The output is controlled by a report, similarly to I/O outputs.
The basic function is the possibility to switch off the supply in case of an application
supplied solely from the accumulator, requiring minimum possible consumption. CDA70
performs communication after which it switches the supply off. The supply has to be switched
on again by a user device in case the communication is required.
In general, this output can be used to control technology.

3.5. Technical parameters

Number of I/O signals on I/O port 5
Basic range of the analogue input supply voltage 0 to 5V
Maximum switched current of binary output 500 mA
Maximum switched voltage of binary output 30 V

3.6. Setting CIO parameters

3.6.1. Activation of CIO signals
All CIO signals have activity feature. In case a signal is active, its value is recorded in
the CIO status report. Only when the active signal changes, CIO may automatically generate a
corresponding report. In case a signal is not set as active, no matter how big a change, it will
not generate any change feature.

3.6.2. CIO communication parameters

The CIO block functions in every CDA70, independently of settings of user interfaces.
CIO communication parameters settings decide whether the information on measured signal
values will be sent to a remote user interface.
From the communication viewpoint, the CIO operates in two modes: in the passive
mode, CIO sends measured information only upon the request of a remote station. In the
active mode, messages are generated based on changes of measured active signals, or
regularly according to a set time period.
For the method of requesting CIO values, see the ARNEP protocol.

30
 CIO DESCRIPTION

3.6.3. CIO active mode parameters

Parameter Set values Meaning of parameter

name range

Auto operation YES/NO In case the parameter is set to (YES), CIO operates in the
active mode and the following parameters will influence its
function. In the other case, the following parameter settings
have no influence over CIO function. There are two
exceptions: "NulTime On" and "NulTime" parameters,
which are connected with the functioning of outputs and are
independent of the "Auto operation" parameter.
After-change YES/NO When set to (YES), CIO generates the report always when
report there is a change to any active signal, power supply and
temperature too, by a value higher than hysteresis.
Send to CIO YES/NO When set to (YES), the report is sent to a defined remote
CIO block. The remote CIO block settings must be
appropriate.
It is possible to send the report either to a remote CIO
block, or to a remote user interface. Using both options
simultaneously is impossible.
Send to port YES/NO When set to (YES), the report is sent to a defined remote
user interface. The protocol settings of the remote CDA70
user interface must be appropriate.
It is possible to send the report either to a remote CIO
block, or to a remote user interface. Using both options
simultaneously is impossible.
Second station YES/NO If the parameter is set to (YES), the message is also sent to
the other (the second) remote CDA70. All other set
parameters are the same for both destination addresses.
NulTime On YES/NO The parameter affects output I/O signals. If set to (YES),
the value of outputs is correct, if its regular renewal is being
performed from a remote CDA70 in a shorter period than
set in the NulTime parameter. In case the module does not
accept the new output value within the time, the outputs are
set to inactive mode. The method protects connected
technology in case of unwanted communication failure.
In case the parameter is not set (NO), automatic zeroing of
outputs will not be applied.
Parameter function does not depend on the "Auto
operation" parameter setting.
COM 1 to 3 The parameter defines number of source module user
interface according to which source address will be
included in the report.

31
 CIO DESCRIPTION

Log. number 1 1 to 254 Destination address of the first user interface where CIO-
generated report will be sent.
Log. number 2 1 to 254 Destination address of the second user interface where
CIO-generated report will be sent.
MinTime [msec] 0 to 6553500 Time hysteresis after which CIO may generate new report
The shortest period for transmitting the reports.
MaxTime [msec] 0 to 6553500 Period after which CIO always generates the report, even
when there is no change of an active signal.
NulTime [sec] 0 to 2550 A timeout for regular setting of outputs. See the NulTime
On parameter.

3.7. Connecting CIO signals to user device

It is not appropriate and often even possible to connect I/O interface signals directly to
the user device. To measure current, resistance, broader ranges of voltage, it is necessary to
insert electronic circuits, which adjust the measured quantities to voltage ranging from 0 to 5V
and also protect inputs against disturbing influences and dangerous overvoltage. Moreover, it
is also necessary to insert electronic circuits for operating the power parts of the user interface
because a transistor with the open collector is able to switch current up to 500mA and voltage
up to 20V.
Two additional CIO modules, which form an interface between a user's device and I/O
signals, are created for the practical use of I/O signals
