Technical content
The IM1800 is designed as an application interface module for the DM1800 series transceivers. The IM1800 can be powered from either its USB interface or from an external DC power input. The IM1800 USB interface is supported by a host computer virtual serial port driver. In addition, the IM1800 provides terminal block connections for an analog input, a logic input and a logic output. Direct connections to the DM1800 transceiver module USART are also provided on the IM1800 terminal block.

The IM1800 is a companion interface board for the DM1800 series transceiver modules. It has two uses: First, the IM1800 can be used as a general purpose in- terface for DM1800 series transceiver modules. For this application, the IM1800 provides a captured screw I/O terminal block, a virtual serial port USB interface, and a choice of USB, coaxial plug or terminal block for the DC power supply input. For DM1800 base stations and field nodes, the IM1800 supports serial communications through the virtual serial port USB interface, or by direct connection to the USART on the DM1800 module. Second, the IM1800 can be used as a development platform for applications where a DM1800 series trans- ceiver will be installed a customer’s board. In addition to the features listed above, the IM1800 provides a con- nector strip for jumpering a flat cable to a customer’s board (or for a logic analyzer/oscilloscope connection), and a “bread board” area for building and testing inter- face circuits. Power Supply Options The IM1800 will accepts an external DC power supply voltage in the range of 2.6 to 14 V (3.1 to 14 V for ex- tended temperature operation). This voltage is routed to the 3 Vdc regulator on the DM1800 transceiver (see description of J2-3 on Page 3 for VOUT characteristics). The external power supply voltage can be connected to VIN on terminal block J2 or to the coaxial power con- nector J6. The IM1800 can also be powered from the USB connector J1. When the IM1800 is powered from the USB connector, no connection should be made to the VIN terminal on terminal block J2 or to the coaxial power connector J6. Serial Port Options The IM1800 provides direct connections to the DM1800 transceiver module USART on terminal block J2. Note that the DM1800 USART I/O is 3 V CMOS logic. Alter- nately, the serial port on a DM1800 can be interfaced through the serial port-USB bridge IC on the IM1800. Only one interface should be used at a time; the other serial interface should remain unconnected. The IM1800 virtual serial port USB interface is based on the Silicon Labs CP2101 IC. The CP2101 drivers can be downloaded from www.silabs.com. After the correct driver has been installed on a host PC, the USB inter- face will appear as a serial port. Bread Boarding Area Referring to Figure 1, the IM1800 bread boarding area is supplied with ground connections on eyelet Row 10 (vertical row of eyelets on right side), VOUT on eyelet Row 3, and VIN on eyelet Row 2. VOUT and the I/O signals from the DM1800 are also provided in two loca- tions on Row 1. Refer to the table on Pages 3 and 4 for details. Note that the DM1800 can provide up to 10 mA for supplying external circuitry. Additional power can be provided by addinga3V regulator in the bread board- ing area and running it from VIN. Take caution not to operate circuitry from VIN that directly interfaces the DM1800 I/O signals to avoid damaging the DM1800 and/or IM1800. Note that any components placed on the bread boarding area directly under where the DM1800 module plugs in must be no taller than 0.1 inch. I/O and Power Supply Precautions Note that all analog and digital input signals must be within the range of 0 to VOUT. Applying a signal outside of this range may damage the DM1800 and/or IM1800. External DC power supplies must be in the range of 2.6 to 14 V. Suitable external power supplies include batter- ies and transformer isolated, regulated DC power sup- plies. Be cautious when using unregulated “wall transformer” DC supplies. The output voltage of these unregulated supplies can be much higher than the nameplate value when powering low current loads. Note: the IM1800 is equipped with a programming con- nector compatible with a Microchip MPLAB ® ICD 2. Ex- cept in special circumstances, however, all DM1800 transceiver modules are shipped pre-programmed. Re- programming a pre-programmed DM1800 transceiver module will void the warranty and any regulatory certifi- cations of the module.
