XDM2140 - 10/17/08
1.0 XDM2140 Introduction
RFM’s XDM2140 is a 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 radio module designed to provide excellent communications
reliability and long battery life in a wide range of sensor network applications. The XDM2140 employs DUST
Networks’ SmartMesh-XD™ technology which blends the reliability of self-organizing and self-healing mesh
networking with synchronized power duty cycling to achieve very long battery life operation. The XDM2140 is
certified for unlicensed operation in the USA, Canada and Europe. An example XDM2140 network is shown in
Figure 1. The network consists of a Gateway and up to 250 XDM2140-based Sensor Nodes. The Gateway
consists of a SmartMesh-XD™ radio and a single-board Linux computer. The Gateway includes the XDM2140
network manager function and provides the application interfaces. The Gateway includes an Ethernet port that
supports XML-based network commands, and two RS232 serial ports that support binary string network
commands, diagnostics, etc.

Figure 1
SmartMesh-XD™ traffic is organized in to TDMA frames consisting of 31.25 ms time slots. The Gateway assigns
time slots to each XDM2140 node in the network, and then maintains a precise report interval (frame-to-frame
period) to provide a highly synchronized network. Network operation also hops from channel to channel in a
pseudorandom pattern to mitigate the effects of multipath fading and narrowband interference. The Gateway
monitors performance on each channel and will temporarily discontinue the use of a channel that is showing poor
performance statistics.
Mesh networking allows traffic to be passed from sensor node to sensor node so that messages can be delivered
to and from sensor nodes that can not communicate directly with the Gateway. At least two paths are maintained
by the network for communication between each field node and the Gateway. As needed, a new paths will be
automatically established to replace a failing paths to maintain network performance.

As shown in Figure 2, each sensor node in the network consists of an XDM2140 radio module and a host
microcontroller with sensor I/O electronics. The host microcontroller communicates with the XDM2140 radio
module on a serial interface using binary command and response strings as discussed in Section 9 of this
document.
