1Gridstream SCADA/DA S4SBR 98-1138 Rev AD 1Product OverviewIntroductionThe Gridstream SCADA Series 4 Single Board Radio (Gridstream S4SBR) is for use by OEM vendors wanting to incorporate Gridstream capability into their SCADA/DA and similar products.The design of the board allows integration with an OEM enclosure and communication with the customer's equipment via a 14-pin connector. Table 1 - 4, "I/O Connector Pin Functions and Acceptable Voltage Levels," provides details for the interface. The Gridstream S4SBR is available in four unique versions, listed/numbered below and in the following illustration:1. External Antenna (MCX connector), without Super Cap, Part number 40-16812. External Antenna (MCX connector), with Super Cap, Part number 40-16823. Internal Antenna, without Super Cap, Part number 40-16834. Internal Antenna, with Super Cap, Part number 40-1684The Gridstream S4SBR is a self-contained 600 mW Integrated WanGate Radio (IWR) which includes voltage regulation, micro-processor, and radio. Output power can be set to 100, 450, or 600 mW.Figure 1 - 1. Gridstream S4SBR Internal and External Antenna Versions3 412draft 29 Jan 2013
Chapter 1 - Product Overview Landis+Gyr2 98-1138 Rev AD Gridstream SCADA/DA S4SBRThis Gridstream S4SBR is based upon existing Gridstream architecture and will operate as a node within a Gridstream network. It is similar in construction to a Gridstream metering endpoint, but with an optional onboard antenna and I/O ports. It has received Modular FCC approval when used with the approved cable and antenna.The Gridstream S4SBR provides two digital I/O ports and two analog input ports, which can also be configured as two general purpose I/O ports. One of the digital ports can also be configured as a counter by sensing either the rising end of the pulse, trailing edge of the pulse, or both. These interfaces are accessible via the Device Control Word (DCW) programming language.NOTE: All Gridstream S4SBR models have identical base electrical architecture with minor physical variations based on antenna/connector type and whether or not the super cap circuitry is included.The on-board antenna version is designed for customers seeking the lowest-cost solution. The onboard F-antenna exhibits nominal performance. The external antenna version is designed for customers who require enhanced performance (greater range).The Gridstream S4SBR shares similarities with other Gridstream IWR devices, but also has differences.Similarities DifferencesRF Mesh Routing Connection Type: TTLRF Speed Digital & Analog CommandsProgrammability Physical Antenna Configuration (External/Internal)DCW / Applet Storage Super Capacitordraft 29 Jan 2013

Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product OverviewGridstream SCADA/DA S4SBR 98-1138 Rev AD 7Pin 1 (VIN)This pin must be supplied with DC voltage between 4.0 and 7.0 VDC with 5.0 VDC considered nominal.The input voltage is linearly regulated on the board. While the linear regulation can remove some noise, Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) varies with frequency. If the power source is particularly noisy, filtering may be required. Landis+Gyr engineering can assist in defining radio tests to determine if power supply noise is affecting radio performance.The input voltage must be maintained between 4.0 VDC and 7.0 VDC during operation. The on-board electronics include fast-acting reset circuitry. If the voltage drops below 4.0 VDC, even transiently, the system will reboot once the voltage returns to normal range. If the voltage rises above 7.0 VDC, even transiently, the voltage-sensitive components could be damaged.Upon power up, the on-board processor and voltage regulator requires the supply voltage to have a minimum of 0.05 V/msec slew rate - which implies rising from a logic 0 to a logic 1 in no less than 66 msec. Power consumption during normal receive mode is typically 41 mA. Current consumption during 100 mW transmit mode is 250 mA, 440 mA during 450 mW transmit mode, and 520 mA during 600 mW transmit mode.During the first 30 minutes after initial power-on or after an extended outage, the on-board super-capacitor will be charging. During this time, the total input current to the device will increase by 80 mA. SeeTable 1 - 1, "Series 4 Gridstream S4SBR General Electrical Specifications," for additional details.The Gridstream S4SBR uses a frequency-hopping sequence transmission and, while typically rare, transmissions can be as long as 400 mS in duration, and can theoretically sustain at a 45% duty cycle on a single channel.Figure 1 - 4.

Chapter 1 - Product Overview Landis+Gyr8 98-1138 Rev AD Gridstream SCADA/DA S4SBRPin 2 (LPP TX) and Pin 3 (LPP RX)These pins are used to interface with the device's LAN Packet Port. These pins are driven at TTL level supply, 2.5 VDC.Baud rates on this port default to 9,600 bps but, using RadioShop, are configurable from 1,200 bps to 115,200 bps.To reduce chances of electrical damage, a 10Kohm series resistor is placed in-series with the pin which limits the drive current capability of this pin. Stray physical capacitance on this circuit should be kept below 250[pF].NOTE: These pins should NOT be directly connected to an RS-232 interface on a computer. Where such a connection is necessary, the developer must connect to the unit through an externally-powered TTL to RS-232 VDC converter, NOT via the pins or the RS-232 connection on the computer.Pin 4 (DIGITAL_IO1) and Pin 11 (DIGITAL_IO2)These pins are general purpose digital I/O lines and are driven at TTL supply levels.If not used, they should not be left unconnected and should be held low by connecting the pin to a common ground.If used, these pins must be driven to a valid logic high or low and not left at intermediate voltages as this will result in indeterminate logic values and may damage the device.draft 29 Jan 2013
Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product OverviewGridstream SCADA/DA S4SBR 98-1138 Rev AD 9Pin 5 (ANALOG_IN1) and Pin 10 (ANALOG_IN2)These pins are analog inputs to the device. Voltages must be scaled to the 0 to 2.5 VDC range. The Gridstream S4SBR returns the DC voltage as HEX values in the memory locations as described in “Analog Input Functionality” on page 31.To obtain the HEX values, a DCW must be developed to read and send the HEX values to the host computer. Once the host has the HEX values, the corresponding voltage can be derived using the following formula:•Voltage = (Decimal value/1023) * 2.5The DCW that reads the memory location returns a HEX value, within range of 0x0 - 0x03FF. The user can convert to decimal using the formula obtaining the value in VDC. The table below shows examples of various voltages and the equivalent HEX values.NOTE: If desired, the Analog I/O pins may be configured as Digital I/O pins or, alternatively, as General Purpose I/O pins.Pins 6 and 7 (GND)These pins are the ground connection for both power and communications. These two pins are tied together on the device.Pin 8 (LOW_RF_POWER)The purpose for this pin is to reduce the RF output power level to assure operation during development and OEM manufacturing process. A logic high on this pin leaves the device in its normal mode of operation, functioning with full rated RF transmitter power. This pin may also be left unconnected and would therefore result in normal mode operation due to onboard pull-up. Table 1 - 5.

Chapter 1 - Product Overview Landis+Gyr10 98-1138 Rev AD Gridstream SCADA/DA S4SBRA logic low (pin connected to ground) reduces the RF output power level to approximately 100 mW for use in environments where high RF output power is not required or only low input power is available to the device. When the USB cable is used to power the board, the pin is automatically brought low. This pin is a digital input, driven internally at TTL supply level.This pin must be left not connected or pulled low to ground as intermediate voltages will result in indeterminate conditions and may damage the device.Pin 9 (PWR_DN)This pin is used to enable or disable the Gridstream S4SBR. It is a digital input and must be driven to a valid logic high (5.0 VDC) or low (GND), since intermediate voltages will result in indeterminate logic values and may damage the device.NOTE: When the Pin 9 power-off command is asserted on super-capacitor units, the unit will remain operational for a few minutes as the super-capacitor voltage bleeds off. Once Pin 9 power-off command is asserted on units without the super-capacitor, the units will turn off immediately.•A logic high (5VDC) provides power to the device.•A logic low (GND) turns off the device.Prior to turning off the device, all interface signals must be driven low and logic voltage removed. This includes all TTL logic lines, digital and analog I/O lines.When the device is turned off with this pin, total current consumption will be less than 100µA.NOTE: When the board is not in use, voltage should not be applied to any interface. Applied voltage may damage the device as destructive latch-up may occur.Pin 12 (TPP RX) and Pin 13 (TPP TX)These pins are used to interface with the device's Transparent Port. These pins are driven at TTL supply level.Baud rates on this port default to 9,600 bps but, using RadioShop, are configurable from 300 bps to 115,200 bps.To reduce chances of electrical damage, a 1Kohm series resistor is placed in-series with the pin which limits the drive current capability of this pin.Stray physical capacitance on this circuit should be kept below 250[pF].NOTE: These pins should NOT be directly connected to an RS-232 interface on a computer. Where such a connection is necessary, the developer must purchase a TTL to RS-232 VDC converter which is powered external and NOT via the pins or the RS-232 connection on the computer.draft 29 Jan 2013
Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Product OverviewGridstream SCADA/DA S4SBR 98-1138 Rev AD 11Pin 14 (3.3V_Logic_supply) This pin is used as an output to provide 3.3V for the purpose of logic interfacing. To reduce chances of electrical damage, this pin is current limited to 300uA and caution should be taken when connecting to external circuit to ensure it doesn’t exceed the 300µA limit.For additional information about the purpose of this pin contact Landis+Gyr.ACAUTION: Pin 14 should NOT be used whenever Pin 9 (PWR_DN) is held in logic low level.USB Programming CableA USB Serial Interface programming cable (P/N 19-2325, shown in Figure 1 - 6) is available for developers to access the device via the LPP Port using RadioShop or their own application.The cable provides power (5.0 VDC) from the USB port and a single emulated COM Port connection. The USB cable allows the OEM vendor to configure, load DCWs, and program the Gridstream S4SBR via the LPP port.Figure 1 - 6. USB Serial Interface programming cableThe cable converts TTL level signals for connecting to Serial interfaces (COM Ports) via the USB interface. The cable is designed to allow for a fast, simple way to connect the board via the USB interface to the virtual RS-232 COM Port on the PC, allowing the developer to access the board using RadioShop.The entire USB protocol is handled by the USB Serial Interface cable when connected to the PC, thus no USB specific firmware programming is required.UWARNING: The 19-2325 USB Cable requires a USB 2.0 port for proper operation. PC damage may occur if the 19-2325 USB Cable is connected to a USB 1.0 port.NOTE: Previous model (19-1220) USB cables will not function correctly with this unit.In order to be compatible with most computer USB ports the USB 19-2325 cable maintains a current limit of less than 500mA by setting the Gridstream S4SBR to low RF output power mode by grounding pin 8 of the I/O connector.This mode sets the output power level to approximately 100 draft 29 Jan 2013

The USB is 2.0 Full Speed compatible, thus providing for COM Port data rates between 9,600 to 115,200 BPS as required by the Gridstream S4SBR LPP port.USB Cable InstallationNOTE: Before using the USB cable the first time, confirm that the PC’s Internet connection is active.Connect the device to a spare USB port on your PC. The Microsoft composite device driver is automatically loaded in the background. Once the composite driver has been installed, the Windows Found New Hardware Wizard dialog will launch.The installation process may continue by installing the USB Serial Converter driver for a second port of the USB Cable. The procedure for installing the second port is identical to that for installing the first port from the first screen of the Found New Hardware Wizard.AntennasAs with any RF device, antenna-related decisions are critical and must be made early. The RF range of the final product will depend greatly on the choice of antenna and where it is placed. The S4SBR is available in four versions, selected at the time of order. The on-board antenna versions are built and tuned to utilize an on-board F-antenna. The external antenna versions include an on-board 50-ohm MCX connector for RF co-ax connection to an external antenna.External AntennaAn external antenna is connected to the board via an MCX Female coaxial RF connector.The external antenna used to qualify the board is an omnidirectional 5 dBi whip (shown in the next figure), made by Manufacturers Marketing Group (MMG). The MMG part number for this antenna is 16-1000-0. MMG contact information is on page 35. This antenna can be used, or any other omnidirectional whip antenna with 5 dBi gain or less.Figure 1 - 7.

Chapter 3 - Development Environment Landis+Gyr28 98-1138 Rev AD Gridstream SCADA/DA S4SBRFigure 3 - 2. Board Components SchematicNOTE: With the digital input switch tying the digital I/O pin on the Gridstream S4SBR to either a logic 0 or a logic 1 voltage level, this Development Test Platform One does not have functions to test the digital output of the Gridstream S4SBR. It is recommended to NOT configure the digital I/O pin as output when the Gridstream S4SBR is connected to the test interface board.Transparent Port (TPP) ConnectionThis connector is used to establish connection to the Gridstream S4SBR through the transparent port. When communication through the transparent port is desired, connect the USB cable to this connector.LAN Packet Port (LPP) ConnectionThis connector is used to establish connection to the Gridstream S4SBR through the LAN packet port. When communication through the LAN packet port (using RadioShop) is desired, connect the USB cable to this connector.Onboard RegulatorThe Gridstream S4SBR interface board is equipped with an onboard VDC regulator. This regulator accepts a 4.0 ~ 7.0 VDC input from a main power source and regulates it to power device electronics.draft 29 Jan 2013
Landis+Gyr Chapter 3 - Development EnvironmentGridstream SCADA/DA S4SBR 98-1138 Rev AD 29NOTE: The S4SBR onboard VDC regulator is not capable of supplying power to additional devices beyond the S4SBR.Digital InputDigital input to Gridstream S4SBR can be tested by toggling the two switches on the test board that correspond to D1 for DIGITAL_IO1 and D2 for DIGITAL_IO2. The switch will toggle between 0V and supply VDC.Analog InputAnalog input to the Gridstream S4SBR can be tested by tuning the two potentiometers on the test board that correspond to A1 for ANALOG_IN1 and A2 for ANALOG_IN2. The input voltage should lie between 0 VDC and 2.5 VDC.NOTE: With an on-board reference of 2.5 VDC, the highest analog input the Gridstream S4SBR may sense is limited to 2.5 VDC. Although the processor on the Gridstream S4SBR may withstand supply VDC analog input, users are advised not to exceed 2.5 VDC.General Usage InstructionDepending on the desired method used to establish communication, connect a USB cable to either the Transparent Packet Port (TPP), the LAN Packet Port (LPP) connection, or both.NOTE: To provide power to the Gridstream S4SBR test Platform, the power input must be supplied externally (as shown) because the USB cable, when connected to the TPP or LPP connector, does not provide power for the test board.Set the USB power input to an appropriate level by toggling the switch (P) controlling the *PWR_DN signal (pin 9) to OFF position.Connect the Gridstream S4SBR to the test board through the board-to-board I/O connector (located under the SRB).Toggle the switch (P) controlling the signal (pin 9) *PWR_DN to the ON position to turn the Gridstream S4SBR ON.The switch (LP) controlling *LOW_RF_POWER may be toggled to set (pin 8) the transmit level of the Gridstream S4SBR under test. This switch will control whether to transmit with limited or full power.Gridstream S4SBR LogicDevelopers planning to use the Gridstream SCADA/DA Series 4 Single Board Radio (Gridstream S4SBR) in their SCADA equipment as a monitoring device should be aware of the logic of the setting when writing a DCW program.

Appendix A - External Antenna Landis+Gyr36 98-1138 Rev AD Gridstream SCADA/DA Single Board RadioGround Plane SpecificationsNOTE: Please note this antenna requires a ground plane (MMG P/N 17-1000-A). The ground plane should be at least six inches in diameter. See Figure A - 2Figure A - 2. Ground Plane SpecificationIf the enclosure for the board is metal and at least 6" across, and the antenna is connected directly to the enclosure, no ground plane is required, as the enclosure is the ground plane. The radiation pattern of the recommended antenna is of a traditional dipole (RF pattern as a donut). The orientation of the antenna should be in the vertical position (straight up or straight down), such that the RF pattern is omni-directional in the horizontal plane.RF External Antenna Cable SpecificationsAn external antenna is connected to the board via an RF coaxial cable of the type as shown in Figure A - 3. See page 49 for the product data sheet.Figure A - 3. RF Coaxial CableThe cable has a Reverse-Polarity N-Type Female/Jack connector on one end and an MCX Male connector on the other. This cable is available from MMG in lengths of 6", 12", and 18".The MMG part numbers and typical insertion loss for these cables are shown in Table 1:““Table 1.

Reverse Polarity and Straight ConnectorsA reverse-polarity polarized coaxial connector alters the standard connector interface by using a male pin center conductor in a female threaded coupling mechanism with a female basket center conductor in a male threaded coupling nut mechanism.This prevents mating with a standard non-polarized connector. This type of connector is required by FCC part 15.203 rules for modular approval.

BGridstream SCADA/DA S4SBR 98-1138 Rev AD 39On-board AntennaSpecificationsThe on-board antenna design is an F-antenna. This design was chosen because its performance is more broad-band relative to a slot antenna, and its pattern is somewhat omni-directional. This antenna's maximum gain is 0 dB and its efficiency is 45%. This product does not allow an external antenna in conjunction to the on-board antenna.Using the on-board antenna, the recommended placement of the Gridstream S4SBR is at the edge of the OEM board, with the antenna-side edge of the board extending beyond the edge of the board, hanging out into free space and facing up as shown in Figure B - 1. If the antenna on the board does not extend out into free space, then the customer's board will load the antenna and affect the radiation pattern.Also, an RF-transparent enclosure must be used (plastic or similar). Do not enclose the board within a metal box. If a metal box is required to house the assembly, then the external antenna version of the product must be used.The on-board F-antenna's radiation pattern in free space is nearly Omni-directional, but has nulls in the direction of the 14-pin I/O connector. The best way to visualize the antenna's radiation pattern is a semi-sphere about the antenna-side edge of the board.The main radiating element is the long trace running the length of the board. The length of this trace sets the resonant frequency of the antenna. The thicker F element, parallel to the feed element, is the return path to ground. The length of the feed element and size of the gap between the feed and ground elements dictate the match of the antenna.Figure B - 1.
