3.2.4
Turn off ELS31-VA/ELS51-VA
To switch the module off the following procedures may be used:
•
Software controlled shutdown procedure
: Software controlled by sending an AT command
over the serial application interface. See
.
•
Hardware controlled shutdown procedure
: Hardware controlled by employing the
FST_SHDN line. See
.
•
Automatic shutdown (software controlled)
: See
- Takes effect if ELS31-VA/ELS51-VA board temperature exceeds a critical limit.
3.2.4.1
Switch off ELS31-VA/ELS51-VA Using AT Command
The best and safest approach to powering down
ELS31-VA/ELS51-VA
is to issue the appropriate
AT command. This procedure lets
ELS31-VA/ELS51-VA
log off from the network and allows the
software to enter into a secure state and safe data before disconnecting the power supply. The
mode is referred to as Power Down mode. In this mode. Before issueing the switch off AT com-
mand, the ON signal should be set to low (see
). Otherwise there might be back pow-
ering at the ON line in Power Down mode.
While
ELS31-VA/ELS51-VA
is in Power Down mode the application interface is switched off and
must not be fed from any other voltage source. Therefore, your application must be designed
to avoid any current flow into any digital pads of the application interface.
