Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) Module BT600 Series
1. Introduction
Ver

Oct.
2017
BT600 series Bluetooth single mode module uses Nordic nRF51822 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) chip. Three
antenna options are offered:
•
BT600I with a chip antenna on module, line of sight range is 30 meters or 90 feet.
•
BT600E, an external antenna is required. Line of sight range is 50 meters or 150 feet when used with
recommended antenna.
•
EV-BT600. Development board for BT600 modules. A PC or a host processor can communicate with
BT600 through an UART port. All IO pins are available at connectors.
A host processor can set BT600 to command and data mode by setting an I/O pin to high and low, respectively.
When using with a PC, a jumper is used to set the BT600 IO pin. When in data mode, the host processor
communicates with a smartphone, a computer, or other electronic equipment through this BT module.
1.1. Standalone Mode
BT600 can operate in standalone mode – without a host processor. A 32 bit ARM Cortex™ M0 processor with
128 KB of flash memories are built-in. Development tools are available from Nordic and other 3rd parties.
BT600 dimensions and pin assignments are the same as some modules from other manufacturers.
Programming tools are commercially available to reprogram module for standalone operation.

4. AT Commands
4.1. Brief description of AT commands
•
Each command line consists of a prefix, a body and a terminator.
•
All command lines begin with the prefix AT (ASCII 065, 084) or at (ASCII 097, 116).
•
The body is a string of characters in the ASCII range 032-255. Control characters other than
(carriage return; ASCII 013) and (back space; ASCII 008) in a command line are ignored.
•
The terminator is .

•
There is no distinction between upper-case and lower-case characters. A command line can have a
maximum length of 80 characters. It is automatically discarded if the input is longer. Corrections are
made
•
AT command is case-insensitive, following /r/n for end code.
•
The default baud rate is 9600 one stop bit and no parity
4.2. Command mode
When P23 (pin 34 of BT600) is pulled high, it is set to AT command mode. In AT command mode, the host
processor communicates with the processor on BT600.

4.3. Data Mode
When P23 (pin 34 of BT600) is pulled low, it is set to data mode. In data model, BT600 provides transparent
data transfer between the host processor and a remote device, for example, a smartphone.
5. Reference Applications
5.1. Suggestion for Battery Power Application
Standby current consumption is important for battery-powered product. We suggest adding a 32.768 kHz
crystal and 2 capacitors as in the following figure. The 16MHz or 32MHz main clock won’t be active at idle state
to save power.

6.1. Communicating with a PC
A quick and easy way to evaluate BT600 is to use a PC as the host processor. Connect the development board
DVB-BT600 to a PC with an USB cable. Then,
•
Remove jumper JP1, BT600 is set to command mode. PC will communicate with BT600.
•
Install jumper JP1, BT600 is set to data mode. PC will communicate with a remote device through
BT600 Bluetooth wireless connection.
Docklight is a testing, analysis and simulation tool for serial communication protocols (RS232, RS485/422 and
others). It allows you to monitor the communication between two serial devices or to test the serial
communication of a single device. Docklight significantly increases productivity in a broad range of industries,
including automation and control, communications, automotive, equipment manufacturers, and embedded /
consumer products. Docklight is easy to use and runs on almost any standard PC using Windows 8, Windows
7, Windows Vista or Windows XP operating system.
Docklight software can be downloaded from the following:
http://www.docklight.de/download_en.htm
6.2. Communicating with a Host Processor
All IO pins of nRF51822 are available at connectors CON1, CON2, CON3, and CON4. To communicate with a
host processor, you need to connect:
•
RX pin of host processor to P21, TX pin of BT600 UART.
•
TX pin of host processor to P22, RX pin of BT600 UART.
•
An IO pin to P23 of BT600, set high for command mode and set low for data mode.
•

DON’T USE A MODULE WITH INTERNAL ANTENNA INSIDE A METAL CASE.
•
USE A MODULE WITH EXTERNAL ANTENNA INSIDE A METAL CASE. ANTENNA MUST BE OUTSIDE OF A
METAL CASE.
•
FOR PCB LAYOUT:
•
o
AVOID RUNNING ANY SIGNAL LINE BELOW MODULE WHENEVER POSSIBLE,
o
NO GROUND PLANE BELOW ANTENNA,
o
IF POSSIBLE, CUT-OFF THE PORTION OF MAIN BOARD PCB BELOW ANTENNA.
