Radiocrafts Embedded Wireless Solutions RCxxxx-IEB Radiocrafts IOT-Module Expansion Board for FX30 and mangOH Gateway Product Description The RCxxxx-IEB is a series of expansion boards for the Sierra Wireless FX30 Programmable IoT Gateway (hereafter named FX30) and the open source HW mangOH. A complete IoT solution is easily created by using the Radiocrafts IOT expansion board and the gateway in combination with sensor nodes based on Radiocrafts RF modules in a local wireless network. The boards contain an RF module giving wireless connectivity, and the interface circuitry to the host processor in the gateway. The card has an SMA connector for connecting the external antenna. The insertion board series include several different products supporting different frequencies and radio protocols. The embedded protocol inside the RF module handles all RF communication and only data payload and easy-to-use commands are sent over the UART or SPI serial bus to/from the gateway processor. Supported Protocols and Network Standards  Wireless M-Bus  IEEE 802.15.4g  RC232/TinyMesh  ZigBee Applications 3G/4G LTE gateway solutions for:  Internet of Things applications  Wireless Sensor Networks  AMR / Smart Metering  Home automation, building automation and industrial automation  Fleet and inventory management 2018 Radiocrafts AS RCxxxx-IEB Data Sheet (rev. 1.02) Page 1 of 12 Radiocrafts Embedded Wireless Solutions RCxxxx-IEB Features  On-board radio module with embedded protocol  Easy-to-use UART/SPI interface connects to powerful Sierra Wireless-internal WP module  RF interface with SMA connector connects to any standard antenna  Same PCB supports modules from a large portfolio of RF modules  Miniature LED indicators (connects to RF module-processor)  CE certified module for EU frequencies  FCC pre-qualified for dedicated RF modules 2018 Radiocrafts AS RCxxxx-IEB Data Sheet (rev. 1.02) Page 2 of 12 Radiocrafts Embedded Wireless Solutions RCxxxx-IEB Functional block diagram Sierra Wireless FX30 Gateway/mangOH Sierra Wireless Internal CPU UART/SPI Ethernet/ Serial Radiocrafts IoT Expansion Board Level shifter circuitry Radiocrafts RF Module SMA EEPROM (optional) USB Figure 1: Functional block diagram for FX30 gateway and IoT expansion board Gateway programming1 The FX30 and mangOH integrates the Legato® Open Source Linux Platform that simplifies application-level development with a secure application framework, maintained Linux distribution, and feature-rich development environment. Legato® enables efficient C-level programming, making FX30 the core component for distributed IoT systems. Legato features an application sandbox that provides a secure environment to run and control multiple applications. With security and connectivity built in, Legato’s robust APIs enable users to connect to any cloud or network, and allow developers to focus on building the value-add IoT applications. Legato offers an Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE), providing an extensible and familiar toolset with built-in API awareness. With multi-language support, Legato allows developers to code in their preferred language, and provides a robust suite of diagnostic tools, to enable- local and remote debugging, troubleshooting, monitoring and profiling.

If the modem is placed in environments where RF performance is reduced, an external antenna can be connected via an extension coaxial cable to the SMA connector. It is strongly recommended that the Sierra Wireless 3G/4G antenna and the antenna on the expansion card are not pointing in the same direction, in order to reduce possible interference and range reductions. Thus, use angled 3G/4G antenna if straight antenna is used with the expansion card, and vice versa. Product variants For detailed information on each variant of the insertion boards, please see the User Manual and Data Sheet for the respective Radiocrafts modules used on the different variants. Datasheets can be downloaded from the Radiocrafts site www.radiocrafts.com IOT expansion board The expansion board is designed to be the link between the local radio network (ISM band radio), and the cell phone network modem. The IoT Expansion Card form factor represents an open hardware standard for sensors, network adapters, and other IoT technologies that can be "plugged" into host applications to provide new features and interfaces. As a family, IoT Expansion Cards share a standardized footprint and pinout, with several interfaces to support various IoT technologies The IOT module has a standardized PCB edge connector that fit in the QSFP+ IoT Connector at the host. The pinout is standardized but described here for each module. 2018 Radiocrafts AS RCxxxx-IEB Data Sheet (rev. 1.02) Page 4 of 12 Radiocrafts Embedded Wireless Solutions RCxxxx-IEB RCxxxx-IEB Circuit Diagram The board will have different components mounted depending on the type of Radiocrafts module used.
