1.0 XDM2510H Introduction
RFMs XDM2510H is a 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 WirelessHART compliant radio module designed to provide excel-
lent communications reliability and long battery life in a wide range of industrial automation applications. The
XDM2510H employs DUST Networks SmartMesh IA-510(H) technology which blends the reliability of self-
organizing and self-healing mesh networking with synchronized power duty cycling to achieve very long battery
life operation. The XDM2510H is certified for unlicensed operation in the USA, Canada and Europe. An example
XDM2510H network is shown in Figure 1. The network consists of an XG2510HE or equivalent WirelessHART
gateway/network manager and XDM2510H-based sensor nodes. The XG2510HE provides both the XDM2510H
network management function and the gateway application interfaces. The XG2510HE includes an Ethernet port
that supports XML-based network commands, and two RS232 serial ports that support binary string network com-
mands, diagnostics, etc.

Figure 1
SmartMesh IA-510(H) traffic is organized in to TDMA frames consisting of 10 ms time slots. The XG2510HE
assigns time slots to each XDM2510H node in the network, and then maintains a precise report interval (frame-to-
frame period) to provide a highly synchronized network. Network operation also hops from channel to channel in a
pseudorandom pattern to mitigate the effects of multipath fading and narrowband interference. The XDM2510H
monitors performance on each channel and will temporarily discontinue the use of a channel that is showing poor
performance statistics.
Mesh networking allows traffic to be passed from XDM2510H node-to-node so that messages can be delivered to
and from nodes that can not communicate directly with the XG2510HE gateway/manager. At least two paths are
maintained by the network for communication between each node and the gateway/manager. As needed, new
paths will be automatically established to replace a failing paths to maintain network performance.

As shown in Figure 2, each sensor node in the network consists of an XDM2510H radio module and a host mi-
crocontroller with sensor I/O electronics. The host microcontroller communicates with the XDM2510H radio mod-
ule on a serial interface using binary command and response strings.

7.0 Boot Sequence
Following the active low assertion of /RESET IN, the XDM2510H completes its boot-up process by loading and
decrypting the application image and loading the operating parameters. During the boot process, the modules
output signals are not actively driven and the input signals are ignored. The duration of the boot process is de-
fined in Table 10.
Boot Parameter Minimum Typical Maximum Units Comments

8.0 Hardware Interfaces
8.1 /RESET IN
When this signal is asserted low, the XDM2510H is hardware reset until the signal is de-asserted. Note that the
XDM2510H may also be reset using the reset serial command. If a system is designed to assert /RESET IN after
the XDM2510H has completed its boot process, it is recommended the module be placed into deep sleep prior to
assertion of the /RESET IN signal.
8.2 /TIME
The XDM2510H has the ability to deliver network-wide synchronized timestamps. The XDM2510H sends a time
packet through its serial interface when one of the following occurs:
HDLC request for time is received.
Active-low /TIME signal is asserted.
Use of the /TIME input is optional but has the advantage of being more accurate. The value of the timestamp is
taken within approximately 1 ms of receiving a /TIME signal assertion. The XDM2510H will send the time packet
to the local host microcontroller within 100 ms of the strobe. If the HDLC request is used, due to packet process-
ing the value of the timestamp may be captured several milliseconds after receipt of the packet. The real time de-
livered to the sensor processor is relative to the real-time clock on the Network Manager, which serves as the
Network Real Time Clock (NRTC).

8.4 Settable I/O Modes
The XDM2510H offers a choice of two I/O modes. The functionality of the interface will be determined by the set-
ting MODE input.
MODE Pin Setting Mode 1 Mode 3
Setting Externally tied low Externally ti ed hi gh
Table 14
Both modes provide a means of transmitting and receiving serial data through the wireless network, and a com-
mand interface that provides synchronized time stamping, local configuration and diagnostics. Mode 1 imple-
ments an 8-bit, no parity, 9600 baud, three, four or five-signal serial interface with bidirectional packet-level flow
control operating at 9600 b/s. In certain designs, one or two of the serial handshake signals may be optional for
reduced pin count. Please refer to detailed descriptions of signals. Mode 3 implements an 8-bit, no parity, 9,600
baud, five-signal serial interface with bidirectional packet-level flow control and byte-level flow control in the
XDM2510H-to-microcontroller direction only.
8.4.1 Mode 1 - Three/Four/Five Signal Serial Interface (9600 b/s)
XDM2510H Mode 1 provides a three, four, or five-signal serial interface optimized for low-powered embedded
applications, and in certain designs may provide a lower pin count serial solution. The Mode 1 serial interface is
comprised of the data pins UART_TX and UART_RX, with handshake pins /MT_RTS, /MT_CTS, /SP_CTS used
for bidirectional flow control. The /MT_RTS signal is ideal for designs where the host microcontroller requires ex-
tra time to prepare to receive a packet. For example, when the host microcontroller sleeps periodically and re-
quires a wake-up signal prior to receiving a packet. Refer to Table15 for information on each pin, including details
on which pins are optional.

UART_RX Input Serial data moving from the microcontroller to the XDM2510H.
UART_TX Output Serial data moving fro m the XDM 2510H to the microcontroller.
/MT_RTS Output
/MT_RTS provides a mechanism to wake the microcontroller in order to receive a packet. /MT_RTS is asserted
when the XDM2510H is ready to send a serial packet. The signal stays low until the /SP_CTS signal from the
microcontroller is detected low by the XDM2510H, indicating readiness to receive a packet, or the tMT_RTS to
SP_CTS timeout defined in Section 8.4.3 expires. If /MT_RTS times out, it will de-assert /MT_RTS, wait for tMT_RTS
retry and then re-asser t /MT_RT S to attempt to send the pa cket again. / MT_R TS may be ignored by the micro-
controller only if /SP _ CTS al ways stays low.
/SP_CTS Input / SP_ C T S prov ides packet level flow control for packe ts tran s ferre d fro m t he XD M2 510H to the microcontro ller.
When the microcontroller is capable of receiving a packet it should assert the /SP_CTS signal. /SP_CTS may
be externally tied low (reducing pin count) only if the microcontroller is always ready to receive a serial packet.
/MT_CTS Output
/MT_CT S provides packet level flow control for packe ts tran s ferre d fro m t he micro co ntr oller to the XDM2510H
that are destined for transfer over the network. Upon reset, following boot the XDM2510H will negate /MT_CTS
until the XDM2510H establishes a wireless network connection. During operation, the XDM2510H will negat e
/MT_CTS if the XDM2510H does not have sufficient buffering to accept another packet. /MT_CST will also
remain high if the XDM2510H is not part of the network. The microcontroller must check that the /MT_CTS pin
is low before initiating eac h seri al packet for w ireless tran s missi on. Note tha t the XD M2 510H may receive
local serial packet s at any ti me rega rdless of the /MT_CT S s tate.
/TIME Input The /TIME pin can be use d for trigg ering a timesta mp pac ket. Its usage is optional.

8.4.2 Mode 3 - Five Signal Serial Interface (9600 b/s)
The XDM2510H Mode 3 provides a five-signal serial interface with byte-level flow control on transfers from the
XDM2510H to the microcontroller. The Mode 3 serial interface is consists of data pins UART_TX and UART_RX,
with handshake pins /MT_RTS, /MT_CTS and /SP_CTS used for bidirectional flow control. The /MT_RTS signal
is ideal for designs where the microcontroller requires extra time to prepare to receive a packet. For example, the
host microcontroller sleeps periodically and requires a wake-up signal prior to receiving a packet). Refer to Table
16 for information on each handshake pin, including details on which of those pins are optional.

/MT_RTS provides a mechanism to wake the microcontroller in order to receive a packet. /MT_RTS is as-
serted when t he XDM2510H is ready to send a serial packet. The signal stays low until the /SP_CTS signal
from the microcontroller is detected low by the XDM2510H indicating readiness to receive a packet, or the

for tMT_RTS retry and then re-assert /MT_RTS to attempt to send the packet again.
/SP_CTS Input
/SP_CTS pro vide s bo th pa cket level and byte level flow control for packets transferred from the XDM2510H to
the microcontroller. When the microcontroller is capable of receiving a packet it should assert the /SP_CTS
signal. In Mode 3, byte-level flow control is achieved by having the microcontroller de-assert and then re-assert
the /SP_CTS signal following the receipt of each byte. The XDM2510H wi ll begin transmission of the next byte
after detecting the re-assertion of /SP_CTS.

will negate /MT_CTS if the XDM2510H does not have sufficient buffering to accept another packet. /MT_CTS
will also remain high if the XDM2510H is not part of the network. The microcontroller must check that the
/MT_CTS pin is low before initiating each seri al packet for wireless transmi s sion . Note tha t the XD M2 510H
may receive local serial packets at any time regardless of the /MT_CTS state.
/TIME Inpu t The /TIME pin can be use d for trigg ering a timestamp pac ket. Its usage is optional.
