eStorm-L1-DMR1.1
3.2
GSM Modem
SIM900A module from SIMCOM provides the GSM connectivity for the eStorm-L1 platform. It
is a dual band GSM/GPRS engine working on frequencies EGSM 900MHz and DCS 1800MHz.
GSM module is interfaced with eStorm-L1 via serial UART2 interface. Sim900A supports
standard AT commands and is integrated with the TCP/IP protocol accessible through extended
TCP/IP AT commands especially for use in data transfer applications.
The antenna interface is provided through right angled SMA connector. The SIM900A is
interfaced with power saving technique there by powered on only when needed. The module
supports both 1.8V and 3V SIM card. Necessary ESD protection is provided for both antenna
and SIM card interface.
3.3
Secure Digital Card
User data storage option is provided in eStorm-L1 using the MicroSD card interface
implemented over SPI protocol. The standard MicroSD card connector allows easy interface of
commercially available low cost cards.
3.4
Serial communication
eStorm-L1 supports RS-232 or RS-485 mode of serial communication at a time. UART1

available in microcontroller is used for serial communication. Industrial grade transceiver chips
are chosen for both the mode of serial communication.
3.5
Analog inputs
eStorm-L1 supports eight channels of analog inputs with separate signal conditioning circuit for
each channel. The analog input signal conditioning circuit is designed to measure the analog
signals in both voltage and current mode with variable gain settings.
The following block diagram depicts the hardware arrangement of the analog input circuit:
Figure 3: Analog input circuit
Page 11 of 28

eStorm-L1-DMR1.1
3.6
Digital inputs
eStorm-L1 supports four channels of digital inputs if character LCD display option is not
required and two channels of digital inputs if character LCD display is required. An OpAmp
comparator circuit is provided for protection of the microcontroller from noisy and high voltage
input spikes. The digital inputs may be of switch closure or pulse type.
The following block diagram depicts the hardware arrangement of the digital input circuit:
Figure 4: Digital input circuit
3.7
Digital outputs
eStorm-L1 supports operating digital outputs in two modes of operation - digital switch mode
and relay mode. Based on user request, only one of them will be enabled during production.
Digital switch mode:
In this mode, internally FETs are driven and can be used as digital switches. This configuration
dictates use of two terminal blocks to be used as the terminal of each digital switch. This mode
is suitable when an external power supply is required to energize the load.
eStorm-L1 supports 4 digital outputs in FET mode if character LCD option is not required and 2
digital outputs if character LCD option is required
Relay mode:
In this mode, internally BJTs are driven by the microcontroller and can in turn used to driver
relays using the same DC power supply used by the eStorm-L1. In this mode, only one
terminal block is sufficient for each relay. eStorm-L1 supports 8 digital outputs in relay mode if
character LCD option is not required and 4 digital outputs if character LCD option is required.
Page 12 of 28

eStorm-L1-DMR1.1
The following block diagram depicts the hardware arrangement of digital output:
In this mode, the Field Effect Transistor will act as a switch, energizing the load with external
power supply when the output on the GPIO pin is high.
Figure 5: Digital output circuit

In this mode the Bipolar Junction Transistor will act as a switch, energizing the load with
available input 5V/12V dc power when the output is high on the GPIO pin.

eStorm-L1-DMR1.1
3.8
Character LCD Display
eStorm-L1 supports character LCD display option for human machine interface. Character LCD
display is controlled through GPIO pins available in microcontroller. With eight data lines and
two control lines, eStorm-L1 can be used to interface either a 16 x 1, 16 x 2 or 16 x 4
character LCD depending upon the requirement.
The following block diagram depicts the hardware arrangement of LCD display interface:
Figure 6: LCD display interface circuit

The contrast can be adjusted with external POT adjustment of through the analog output
option from DAC of the microcontroller. LCD ON and OFF control is also incorporated with GPIO
lines and transistor switch.

eStorm-L1-DMR1.1
3.9
Navigation keypad
eStorm-L1 supports navigation membrane keypad interface with five keys for navigation
function such as up, down, left, right, and ok. Each key is connected to a GPIO pin of the
microcontroller and will have a pull up resistor connected to 3.3V. On pressing the switch,
corresponding GPIO pin will be pulled down to the ground level and detected by the
microcontroller.
The following block diagram depicts the hardware arrangement of navigation keypad interface.

eStorm-L1-DMR1.1
3.10 Touchpad
eStorm-L1 supports capacitive touchpad interface with five electrode for five different
functions. For example, the navigation membrane keypad can be replaced by a capacitive
touchpad by using five electrode touchpad and connecting the electrode to the touch sensor
input pin of the microcontroller. The five touch sensor input pin of the microcontroller is routed
to the key connector which is also used for navigation keypad interface.
The following block diagram depicts the hardware arrangement of capacitive touchpad
interface.

3.11 Configuration Switch

eStorm-L1 supports a general purpose switch that can be configured according to the need of
the user, for example to perform a factory reset operation. A Right angled switch is provided
for this purpose with pull up resistor for the GPIO pin, such that when this switch is pressed
the GPIO pin is pulled down and required operation can be performed according to the user
requirement.
3.12 LEDs
eStorm-L1 has an LED interface to support up to 3 LEDs each driven by a microcontroller GPIO
pin for visual indication. It can be configured by the user according to the application usage.
