RC1140-MBUS3-DK is a RF evaluation and development kit and board introduced by u-blox. It is an ideal hardware platform for rapidly expanding in-building wireless applications with support for low-power, long-range, ultra-wideband connectivity.

Application Field

RC1140-MBUS3-DK is a kit and board that comprises of RCM1140 radio board, RCU1140 USB adapter board, and the required hardware and software accessories. It is suitable for real-time data collection from multiple sources in houses, offices, and industrial or commercial areas. With this kit and board, users can set up Smart Radios in places where there is a need for information exchange between nodes. This could be for many applications like smart lighting, industrial process control, access control, home automation, asset tracking, etc. It is a cost-effective solution which is also suitable for small scale deployments.

Working Principle

The RC1140-MBUS3-DK is designed based around the u-blox RCM1140 radio module with 802.15.4g compliant connectivity. The RCM1140 radio module supports a flexible and cost-efficient high-speed data exchange on a time-bounded shared channel between different nodes. This allows data to be exchanged in real-time between different nodes, and each packet can be accurately synchronized to the radio channel and can be addressed to specific nodes. The transmission of data is also characterized by its high reliability so it can be used in mission-critical applications and be used for long-term operation.

The RCM1140 radio module accepts data from any 3.3V UART-type interface. The RCU1140 USB adapter board allows for the plugging in of an RCM1140 module as well as a power supply. The RCU1140 USB adapter board has an onboard USB-to-UART/RS-232 converter circuit, so it can be directly connected to any PC with USB interface. With the onboard USB-to-UART converter, it simplifies and speeds up the development process significantly.

The RC1140-MBUS3-DK supports up to 60 nodes, and all configuration parameters of the radio are stored in the radio settings file. This file is typically loaded into the RCM1140 radio using the provided software tool. The transmission speed of the data is customizable and configurable from 9.6 kbps to 250 kbps. The transmission range is also adjustable, and it can extend up to 1 km depending on the environmental conditions.

All the data transmitted is buffered in the onboard memory of the RCM1140 radio. This database buffer ensures that no data is lost even during technical and power outage. Data can be read from the radio with the help of the provided software development tool. The data is then processed and converted into visual graphical representations for easy analysis and deeper understanding.

In summary, RC1140-MBUS3-DK is a great RF evaluation and development kit and board with its own set of unique features. It is ideal for real-time, secured data transfers between local nodes in any industrial or commercial area. With its long-range, high speed data transfer, and support for up to 60 nodes, it becomes an effective hardware solution for rapid deployment of in-building wireless applications.
