Switch-off events
SARA-R5 series modules can be gracefully switched off, triggering the storage of the current
parameter settings in the non-volatile memory of the module and performing a clean network detach
procedure, by:
•
AT+CPWROFF command (see SARA-R5 series AT commands manual
☞
The graceful switched off procedure triggered by +CPWROFF AT command is the recommended
method to properly switch off the SARA-R5 series modules.
An emergency faster and safe power-off procedure of the modules, without proper network detach,
can be triggered by:
•
AT+CFUN=10 command (see SARA-R5 series AT commands manual
•
Toggling the GPIO input pin configured with the fast and safe power-off function (see section
☞
The graceful switched off procedure triggered by the +CPWROFF AT command must be preferred
rather than the faster and safe power-off procedure triggered by the AT+CFUN=10 command or
by toggling the configured GPIO pin, as the faster and safe power-off procedure is intended to be
used in case of emergency only.
An abrupt emergency hardware shutdown of the modules, without storage of the current parameter
settings
in the module’s non
-volatile memory and without proper network detach, can be triggered by:
•
Forcing a low pulse at the
PWR_ON
and
RESET_N
input pins, in the proper sequence described in
☞
It is recommended to avoid an abrupt emergency hardware shutdown during SARA-R5 series
modules normal operations. An abrupt software reset, consisting in asserting the
RESET_N
input,
must be preferred, if considered necessary (see section
).
An abrupt under-voltage shutdown occurs on SARA-R5 series modules when the
VCC
supply is
removed. If this occurs, it is not possible to perform the storing of the current parameter settings in
the module’s non
-volatile memory or to perform the proper network detach.
☞
It is highly recommended to avoid an abrupt removal of the
VCC
supply during SARA-R5 series
modules normal operations. An abrupt software reset, consisting in asserting the
RESET_N
input,
must be preferred, if considered necessary (see section
).
☞
In case of applications where an abrupt power removal cannot be avoided, it is recommended to
set the
RESET_N
input line at the low logic level as soon as the power failure in the supply source
is detected, so that the under-voltage shutdown may be executed more safely since ~450 ms after
the falling edge at the
RESET_N
input line.
An over-temperature or an under-temperature shutdown occurs on the SARA-R5 series modules
when the temperature measured within the module reaches the dangerous area, if the optional
“Smart temperature supervisor” fea
ture is enabled and configured by the dedicated AT command.
