1. Introduction
E90-DTU (400SL44) is a true high-quality industrial wireless data transceiver. The transceiver uses LORA spread
spectrum technology. Its strong anti-interference ability makes wireless communication more stable and reliable in
industrial sites.
It has multiple transmission modes, working in the (410.125 ~ 493.125MHz) frequency band (the default is
433.125MHz), and the radio provides a transparent RS232 / RS485 interface. LoRa Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
technology will bring longer communication distance and has the advantage of strong anti-interference ability. The
module has software FEC forward error correction algorithm, which has high coding efficiency and strong error
correction capability. In the case of sudden interference, it can actively correct the interfered data packets, which greatly
improves reliability and transmission distance. Without FEC, such packets can only be discarded. The transceiver has a
data encryption function. The data transmitted by the transceiver over the air is random. Through strict encryption and
decryption algorithms, the data interception is meaningless. Packet length setting is available to support different
real-time and data packets.
As a communication medium, wireless data transceiver has the same scope as optical fiber, microwave and bright
line: it provides real-time and reliable data transmission of monitoring signals in private networks under certain special
conditions, with low cost, installation and maintenance. It is convenient, has strong diffraction ability, flexible
networking structure and long coverage. It is suitable for occasions with many points and scattered, complex
geographical environment, etc. It can be connected with PLC, RTU, rain gauge, liquid level meter and other data
terminals.

Note: It is recommended to retain more than 50% of the current margin when selecting the power supply, which will help
the data transceiver to work steadily for a long time.
Note:1. When the receiving data is more than a single packet capacity, the beyond part will be automatically assigned to
the second transmission until it is completed;
2. The data transceiver cannot receive data which is more than the buffer capacity.
6. Function description
During fixed-point transmission, the module recognizes the first three bytes of the serial data received as:
Address high + address low + channel, and use it as a wireless transmission target.
For example: Set the address of module A as 0xFFFF and channel as 0x04.
When module A is the transmitter (same mode, transparent transmission), all modules under channel 0x04 will
receive the data, the purpose of broadcast is realized.
For example: Set the address of module A as 0xFFFF and channel as 0x04;
When module A is the receiver, it can receive the data sent from all modules under channel 0x04. The purpose of
monitor is realized.
7. Operating mode
E90-DTU has two operating modes. The MOD pin is left floating, is the general mode, that is, the transceiver
communicates normally; the MOD pin is grounded, and that is the configuration mode.

No. Description
1 After setting the repeater mode by configuration, switch to the general mode and the repeater starts working.
In the repeater mode, ADDH, ADDL are no longer used as the module address, but is correspondingly paired with
2 the NETID. If the data of one of the networks is received, it is forwarded to another network. The network ID of the
repeater itself is invalid.
In the repeater mode, the repeater module UART cannot transmit and receive data, and cannot perform low-power
3
operation.
3. In the repeater mode, please do not send more than the set single packet sub-byte.
1 Primary repeater
“Node 1” NETID is 08.
“Node 2” NETID is 33.
Primary repeater 1‘s ’ADDH\ADDL are 08,33.
② Secondary repeater
Therefore, Repeater 2 can forward the data of Repeater 1 to the network NETID: 05.
Thus node 3 and node 4 can receive node 1 data. Node 4 outputs data normally, and node 3 has a different address than
node 1, so no data is output.
3 Two-way repeater
As shown in the figure: the data sent by node 1, the nodes 2, 4 can receive the data sent by node 2, 4, and node 1 can also
receive it.
The following picture shows the E90-DTU SL configuration interface on computer, users can switch to the
configuration mode through M0D pin ground, and quickly configure and read the parameters on computer.
In the configuration on computer, the module address, frequency channel, network ID, and key are all in decimal
mode. The range of values of each parameter is:
Key: 0-65535
When users configure the repeater mode using the host computer, special attention must be paid. Since the
parameters are in decimal mode in the host computer, the module address and network ID need to be converted into
hexadecimal. For example, if the network ID input by the transmitting end A is 02, and the network ID input by the
receiving end B is 10, when the repeater end R sets the module address, the hexadecimal value 0X020A is converted
into the decimal value 522 as the repeater end R. Module address. That is, the module address value of the repeater
terminal R is 522 at this time.
