Operating Modes
The device is capable of operation in one of two modes, either broadcast or addressed. The following description
describes the features of these mode and assumes two identical system nodes ‘A’ and ‘B’ each consisting of an
RF600T and its associated radio transceiver module.
The RF600T must be configured before power up for either the broadcast or addressed mode of operation by
means of the MODE pin (6). Note that for security, broadcast nodes will not receive data from addressed nodes.
Broadcast mode.
This mode allows a host generated data block from node ‘A’ to be transmitted and received by any number of
other nodes. This data is received and verified (for correct Manchester coding and CRC) by the other nodes before
being output to their host devices. Alternately, in the same way the other nodes can send data to node ‘A’. Note
that although any node can initiate a transfer, only one direction of transfer can be active at a given time.
Correct reception of a data packet is not acknowledged and the host nodes have the responsibility of ensuring that
data transfers occur as required by operating some form of message protocol over the half duplex data link.
Addressed mode
This mode allows a host generated data block from node ‘A’ to be transmitted and for the data frame to be
addressed to one other network node – in this case we assume node ‘B’. When the data is received by node ‘B’ it
is verified for correct Manchester coding, CRC and for address match and then an acknowledge message is
transmitted back to node ‘A’. Node ‘A’ then outputs a confirmation to the host in the form of the ASCII character ‘C’
