greatly improving wireless communication anti-jamming capability.

Anti-collision mechanism description:

Usually the terminal code is in power saving mode (mode

3), base station is in wake-up mode (mode 2), base station send wake data packet which contains
specified terminal node hardware address, after corresponding node is wake, can switch it to
normal transceiver data mode (mode 1) by user MCU. Terminal node listens to the air RF channel
to make sure whether there is carrier (need to open carrier sense) before send data. If there is
carrier, delay a random time and listen to air carrier again until there isn't carrier, and then send
data to the base station, without affecting the other hardware address corresponding node.

other 3 modules for users to set values.

When the module works in mode 2, can send and receive wireless data.. In mode 3, can receive
wireless data, but couldn't send data, and if need to send data, it should be switched to mode 1.
When the sending terminal works in mode 1, the receiving terminal must work in mode 1 or mode
2.

3.2 Normal Communication

When the module in normal mode (mode 1), two-way communication between modules. At the
same time, modules listening to the serial port and air RF channel. So the modules can be used as
both transmitter and receiver.

The process of sender and receiver as follows:

Sending terminal processingSET_A PIN lowSET_B PIN low

When listening to the serial port data input, set AUX pin low and switch to wireless
transmitter state, interwoven error correction coding of the data received on the serial port,
and then sent over the RF channels. Reset AUX pin high and again transferred to
continuously listening state after the end of transmission.

Receiving terminal processingSET_A PIN lowSET_B PIN low

After receiving data from the air RF channel, through interwoven error correction decoding
and error detection to confirm that the data received is correct, set AUX pin low and
immediately output the decoded data from the serial port. Reset AUX pin high and again
transferred to continuously listening state after the end of transmission.

Description the process of the two modules in detail ,when they are working in normal mode,
as follows:

1. Through external MCU GPIO ports configure SET_A and SET_B two pins as a low level so
that both modules are in the normal state (mode 1). Or SET_A and SET_B pins of each
module could be connected to the GND directly (can reduce take up MCU 2 IO ports).

This mode, the module allows for half-duplex communications, both as a sender and a
receiver. RF parameters of sending and receiving terminal of the module must be configured
the same, it could communicate when the transceiver destination address match.
2. When the sender module listens to serial data input, set AUX pin low and automatically
switch to wireless transmitter state, and then send serial data over the air RF channel that you
just received. Reset AUX pin high and again transferred to continuously listening after the end
of transmission, always ready to receive other data information.
3. Receiver module listens to the air carrier, receive data given by the transmitter module from
air RF channel. After CRC check and confirm the received data is correct, set AUX pin low
and immediately output the decoded data from the serial port. After all the data from the
UART output, reset AUX pin high and again transferred to continuously listening state.
If the receiving module needs to send data, only need external MCU transmit data to others
through UART interface and the module will transmit automatically.

3.3 Low-power Communication

When the module is in low-power receiving mode, the receiving module through the timing of
sleep and listens to air RF channels to achieve the purpose of low power. And the transmitter
module communicates with the receiver module by sending a special RF packet.

The process of sender and receiver as follows:

Sending terminal : SET_A PIN low levelSET_B PIN high level

When listening to the serial port data input, set AUX pin low and switch to wireless
transmitter state, interwoven error correction coding of the data received on the serial port,

Power UTC-4432xx

Datasheet

Hangzhou NewMsg Technologies

Power UTC-4432xx

and build a special data packet whose preamble length is a wakeup period, then sent over the
RF channels. Reset AUX pin high and again transferred to continuously listening state after
the end of transmission.

Receiving terminal : SET_A PIN high level, SET_B PIN low level
After initializing the RF part of the module, it goes into the state of dormancy. After a
wake-up period (such as 1 second), the RF part in the receiving state and searching for the air
RF channels whether there is a preamble. If there is no search, then immediately goes into the
state of dormancy to wait for the next wake-up period and then search again. If found,
continue to keep in the receiving state, receive the remaining portion of the data packet. And
then through interwoven error correction decoding and error detection to confirm that the
data is correct, set AUX pin low and output the decoded data from the serial port after
waiting for a delay trigger time. Reset AUX pin high after the end of transmission.If the
working status does not change, goes into the state of dormancy again to wait for the next
wake-up period.
If the receiving terminal need to return data to the sending terminal, by changing the working
state of the receiving terminal, set SET_A pin and SET_B pin to low levels. Communicating
by the way of normal communication mode at this time.

Low-power communication diagram as shown in the following figure:

Hangzhou NewMsg Technologies

NoteTw: Preamble search duration

Power UTC-4432xx

Tp: Wake up interval

Td: Delay trigger time (Tp and Td configurable)

Low-power communication, assuming that the receiver set the wake-up interval to 1s(Tp), the
receiver wakes up every 1 second to search preamble, the duration is 32bit wireless air
transmission time (Tw). Each time before the sender sending the data, sends the preamble more
than 1s("1010" alternative code), then the synchronous code and user data. This way, we could
guarantee that the receiver will be able to search the preamble as long as data sent out at the sender
terminal,, thus switch to the receiving state to receive synchronization codes and user data later.
Sending terminal continue to write several bytes data to be sent to the serial port, if no subsequent
bytes are written within 2 bytes serial transmission time,send a packet of data is considered to be
written. This moment, the module's internal package the data which serial has received (add
packet length and CRC check,etc), set AUX pin low after the end of the processing and start RF, to
launch. First, RF continue to send additional preamble for Tp s ("1010" alternative code), and
followed by 4-byte preamble, then the synchronization filed (SYNC), and finally the user data is
packaged before. Set AUX pin high after the end of RF transmission.
The receiver is in power saving mode (mode 3) and its RF is in standby state. Every Tp time, the
module switch its RF to receiving state in order to search for the air RF channels whether there is a
preamble(polling).Continuing Tw time ,if still has not discovered the preamble, indicate that the
air doesn't have a wireless data transmission, and then the RF switches back to standby. If there
has found the preamble, the RF will be continued in the receiving state to receive synchronous
word and user data.The module unpack the data received and set AUX pin low after CRC check
has passed. After delay Td time, output the user data received through serial port of the module,
and set AUX pin high after the end of serial output.

Description the process of the two modules in detail ,when they are working in Low-power
mode, as follows:

1.

Users through external MCU GPIO ports configure SET_A and SET_B two pins of the
sending terminal module, set SET_A as a low level and SET_B as a high level to make it
works in awake mode (mode 2). While configure the two pins of the receiving terminal
module, set SET_A as a high level and SET_B as a low level to make it works in power
saving mode (mode 3).
RF parameters of sending and receiving terminal of the module must be configured the same,
it could communicate when the transceiver destination address match.

2.

When the sender module listens to serial data input, set AUX pin low and switch to wireless

transmitter state, Error correction coding of the data received on the serial port and build a
special data packet whose preamble length is a wakeup period, then sent over the air RF
channels. Reset AUX pin high and again transferred to listening serial state after the end of
transmission. Its workflow described as follows:

3.

After initializing the RF part of the module, it goes into the state of dormancy. After a
wake-up period (such as 1 second), the RF part in the receiving state and searching for the air
RF channels whether there is a preamble. If there is no search, then immediately goes into the
state of dormancy to wait for the next wake-up period and then search again. If found,
continue to keep in the receiving state, receive the remaining portion of the data packet. And
then through interwoven error correction decoding and error detection to confirm that the
data is correct. Set AUX pin low and turn on serial port functionality, output the decoded dta
from the serial port. Reset AUX pin high after the end of transmission. If the working status
does not change, goes into the state of dormancy again to wait for the next wake-up period.

3.4.1

Parameters Setting Description

Power UTC-4432 is quite flexible to use , according to users' needs, support to modify RF and
functional properties of the modules online ( user modified them by MCU ) and locally ( use
assorted PC-side of Hangzhou NewMsg Technologies to configure software ).
Only work in configuration mode (mode 4) could we configure the RF and functional properties of
the modules. Configuration mode, the Power UTC-4432 series module serial port parameters are
fixed to 9600bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. When switching from configuration mode to the
other 3 modes, you can maintain configuration and enter into force.
The RF and functional properties of modules mainly include operating frequency, air rate,

Hangzhou NewMsg Technologies

Power UTC-4432xx

transmission power, UART baud rate, wake-up interval, delay trigger time, local IP address,
destination address, error correction coding enable, packet length, packet integrity mode, field
strength testing, carrier sense, frequency calibration,and compensation, and so on.
RF Frequency:

Set the frequency between 430-450MHz and the step is 1KHz. Recommend

100KHz as the base unit, for example, 433.92Mhz, 434.02Mhz, 434.12Mhz.

In order to make the signals between modules which work in different frequency without mutual
interference, recommended frequency interval difference of more than 1MHz to reduce co-channel
interference.
RF Air Rate:

1kbps2kbps5kbps10kbps20kbps40kbps optional, wireless air baud rate

lower, the time to transmit the same data longer, but the distance farther.
RF Transmitter Power:

The transmitting power of Power UTC-4432 medium-power module

cannot be configured and the default value is the maximum transmitting power. Power
UTC-4432-T500E: 27dBm, Power UTC-4432-T2000E: 33dBm.
Serial Baud Rate:

300bps600bps1200bps2400bps4800bps9600bps19200bps

38400bps57600bps optional, the communication speed between MCU and wireless module. If
the air rate lower than the serial port baud rate, require a delay after sending and receiving data.
Serial Port Parity:

Default no parity, special serial protocol use parity.

Wake-up Interval (Tp):

50ms100ms200ms400ms600ms1.0s1.5s2.0s2.5s3.0s

4.0s5.0s optional, default 1s. When modules stay in power saving mode (mode 3), every Tp time,
the RF enter into the receiving state to detect data and preamble. If has received the preamble,
continue to receive until a packet of data is received and then put the RF switches back to standby.
If doesn't search the preamble last up to Tw time, RF switches to standby, and loops. Valid only in
power saving mode. The longer the wake time, the lower the average power consumption. Of
course, all the node module parameters are set the same, you can make sure that you can receive
every time.
This feature only valid in mode 2 and mode 3.
Delay Trigger Time (Td):

0~999ms optional, generally recommended 5ms. When modules stay

in power saving mode (mode 3), set AUX low before wireless modules begin to output the data
received to the serial port and delay Td (that is trigger time). And then through the serial port
output data. This prevents the wireless module serial output data loss when the MCU is in sleep
state.
This feature only valid in mode 3.

Error Correction Coding Enable:

Power UTC-4432xx

On-chip integrated MCU software sets the forward error

correction to improve anti-jamming ability of the module, and to some extent also improves
communication distance. When select the error correction coding feature, underlying data traffic is
1 time without error correction, so cancel the error correction coding can also improve the speed
of communication.
Local IP Address:

Wireless modules hardware address. After the address mode is enabled, the

module will receive the address field in the packet and compared with the modules local IP
address. If the two are inconsistent discard the packet.
Destination Address:

Address of the wireless module which need to establish communication

with the other.

If you need two-way communication, it can be set as follows:

The destination address of wireless module A set to the local IP address of wireless module B.
The destination address of wireless module B set to the local IP address of wireless module A.

If you need to broadcast communication, only requires the following settings:

Only need to set the local IP address of every receiving slave node to the same to the destination
address of sending master node.
It can also be achieved by setting the broadcast address, that the destination address of sending
master node is set to 0x00 or 0xFF. At this time, no matter what are the values of the destination
address of all receiving slave nodes, they are able to receive the data sent by sending master node.
Packet Length Setting:

Factory default of 32 bytes. If set to 8 bytes, then received 8 bytes from

the serial port on the wireless module will immediately start the wireless to sent them out. If less
than 8 bytes, starting with the last byte received timing and if within 2 bytes serial transmission
time, still no longer receive data, packet the data less than 8 bytes received from serial port and
send them out. Users can combine their actual application needs, flexible setting and you can
make the communication more compact.
For example, when sending 3 bytes, recommended packet length set to 4 bytes .And when sending
20 bytes, it recommended that to set to 32 bytes.
Packet Integrity Mode:

If enable packet integrity mode, then when the receiver has received

wireless packet, will determine whether the packet is complete. Thus when the receiver module
send data to serial port, tries to keep the serial byte stream continuous. For example, set the packet
length to 32 bytes, the sending terminal module received 33 bytes from serial port and send them
Power UTC-4432xx

Datasheet
19/28

Hangzhou NewMsg Technologies

Power UTC-4432xx

out. After receiving module received 32+1 bytes, if module B does enable packet integrity mode,
module B will continuously send the 33 bytes through a serial port. If module B does not enable
packet integrity mode, module B may send a continuous stream of 32 bytes, after a pause, then
send the final 1 byte (relation with air baud rate and serial baud rate). Of course, if receive buffer
(256 bytes) to be filled, buffer left a data space which just enough to receive a complete packet,
you can only enable serial output data directly.
Carrier Sense:

If enable the carrier sense, before wireless module send the packets, it will

detect whether the wireless air RF channel is idle. If the channel is idle, it will immediately send
out the packets to be sent via a wireless. Otherwise the RF channel is busy and it shows that there
are other modules with the same frequency are sending data in the air. At this time, the module
delay for some random length and detect whether the channel is idle again, it will send out the data
until the channel is idle. To a certain extent, the function of carrier sense could avoid data
collisions and provide reliability for achievement simplest networking application.

Power UTC-4432xx

The processing of parameters configuration as follows:

1.

Module power on, 10ms (T1) later, the module enter into working state (mode 1, 2, or 3).

2.

When set them, configure SET_A and SET_B pins as high levels, the module enter into
configuration mode (mode 4) and monitor AUX pin. About 10us (T2) later, you can make
parameters settings.

3.

When serial input port (RXD PIN) receives settings command, can re-awaken the module. If
the settings command are correct, answer the response command.

4.

Since then the module reset automatically and reinitialize (except for dynamic parameters
configuration), and 20ms (T4) later, module parameter settings are completed and take effect.

If the input setting command is incorrect, the module will not make any response, but still can
cause a reset and reinitialize. Therefore, users can take advantage of this feature, reset the module
after a long sleep or when you need to restart the module.
Power UTC-4432 series modules' parameter settings use HEX code, the baud rate is 9600bps,
invalid inspection and two kinds of setting command. Their formats as follows:

Through an instance to note the processing and method of the specific parameters
configuration, as follows:

For example, the module is set to: 433.92MHz, 10Kbps air rate, max power, serial port speed
9600bps, no parity, wake-up time 1s, delay trigger time 5ms, FEC enable, local IP address 0x01,
destination address 0x03, packet length 32 bytes, open packet integrity mode, close filed strength
testing and open carrier sense.

Configure the specified bytes:

Write Command:

0xFF,0x56,0xAE,0x35,0xA9,0x55, 0x8C + (1 byte starting address) + (1 byte

parameter length, the length is same to the bytes of parameters) + (parameters).

Read Command:

0xFF,0x56,0xAE,0x35,0xA9,0x55,0x8B + (1 byte starting address) + (1 byte

parameter length).
Both of the response are same:

0x24,0x24,0x24 + (1 byte starting address) + (1 byte parameter

length) + (Power UTC-4432 module current parameters).

Both write setting and read setting are byte operation, if you want to modify one bit of the
function bit, need to set it together with the other bits. For example:

Only configurate destination address:

0xFF,0x56,0xAE,0x35,0xA9,0x55,0x8C,0x0B,0x01+ (1 byte destination address).

Return: 0x24,0x24,0x24,0x0B,0x01+ (1 byte destination address which was configured).

Return: 0x24,0x24,0x24,0x00,0x03+ ( 3 bytes frequency parameter).

Parameter dynamic configuration command

After the above parameter configuration command writes, the configuration which was modified
is save in EEPROM of the module MCU. And reset the module, modified configuration remains
valid, unless you reconfigure it.
Dynamic configuration commands of the following only save the modified configuration in
memory, don't modify the original configuration in EEPROM. Modified configuration only valid
until the next rest, and back to the original configuration after reset. Dynamic configuration does
not cause reset of the module and the time to configurate is short.
