Data Rate Setup
Table 4-3 shows the used RF data rates setups. They are configured automatically by the
module firmware dependent on the selected Wireless M-Bus mode, the Device Mode and the
data direction.
RF data rate [kcps]
Description
4.8
chip rate, results in a data rate of 2.4 kbps (Manchester coding)
32.768
chip rate, results in a data rate of 16.384 kbps (Manchester coding)
50
chip rate = data rate (NRZ coding)
100
chip rate, results in a data rate of 66.66 kbps (3 out of 6 coding)
chip rate = data rate (NRZ coding)

Wake-up after Low-Power-Mode
Figure 4-1 shows the timing diagram of the transmission of a 42 byte WM-Bus packet in S-
Mode. The device is in
Low Power Mode
and is woken up by the edge of the first UART bit
that is received from the host controller. After successful RF transmission, the host controller is
informed with a status message. Hereafter the metering device is able to receive command
messages (e.g. from a data collector) for the configure RX Window (here: 10ms). If no
command is received the radio is shutdown and the module returns to
Low Power Mode
again.
