1. Safety instructions
Please observe the following safety instructions:
•The communication module has to be used in accordance with all applicable international
and national laws or any special regulations that may govern its use for particular
applications and devices.
•Use only the original Conel company accessories. Thus you will prevent possible health
risks and damage to the devices and ensure compliance with all relevant provisions.
Unauthorised adjustments or use of unapproved accessories may result in damage to the
module and breach of applicable laws. Use of unapproved adjustments or accessories
may lead to cancellation of guarantee, which has no effects on your legal rights.
•Voltage on the communication module supply connector shall not be exceeded.
•Do not expose the communication module to extreme conditions. Protect it from dust,
moisture and heat.
•It is recommended not to use the communication module at petrol stations. We remind
users to observe the limitations of radio devices use at pump stations, chemical plants or
where explosives are being used.
•You have to be extremely careful when using the communication module in proximity to
medical devices, such as pacemakers or hearing aids.
•It is recommended to create a proper copy or backup of all the important settings saved
in the device's memory, to database by help program Radwin, reference [1].

2. Description of the CDA70 radio modem
2.1. General
The CDA70 radio modem is a device for wireless data transmission. Communication
between two radio modems is a simplex one and is carried out on a single frequency. Modems
work in frequency band of 143 to 174 MHz (CDA70V) and 403 to 470 MHz (CDA70U).
Transmission rate is 21.7 kbit/sec when using the FFSK modulation and channel spacing 20
and 25 kHz or 10.8 kbit/sec when using channel spacing 12.5 kHz. Transmission rate is 10.8
kbit/sec when using the GMSK modulation and channel spacing 20 and 25 kHz or 5.4 kbit/sec
when using channel spacing 12.5 kHz. Transmission power output of the radio modem is
adjustable from 10 mW to 3 W for CDA70V and from 10 mW to 5 W for CDA70U.
The CDA70 radio data modem is controlled by a 32-bit communication processor
providing communication on the radio channel and individual interfaces. The CDA70 modem
has four serial data interfaces (communication ports) and one with direct attachment
of input/output peripherals for data collection and CIO technological process control. It is
possible to set transfer parameters and communication protocol separately for each port.
As a result, you may use the radio modem to communicate with various user interfaces using
different communication protocols on the serial interface.
The communication protocol used for communication between modems on the radio
channel provides for access of the modem to the radio channel, collision solving,
retranslations and other functions necessary for cooperation of modems within a radio data
network. It allows creating of a large network on a single radio channel and independent
operation of multiple radio networks on a single frequency. The radio data modem CDA-70 is
possible to use in combination with other modems of the system AGNES. Description
of the system AGNES is in reference [2].
2.2. Examples of possible applications
•Security systems
•Telematics
•Telemetry
•Vending and dispenser machines
2.3. Description of individual components
2.3.1. Radio component
Working frequency of the radio component is synthetizer-controlled separately for
reception and transmission. It is tuneable within a broad frequency band (see Technical
parameters table). Several levels of the radio module transmitter power output can be set
(from 10 mW to 5 W). The controlling microcomputer program controls setting of the working
frequency and transmitting power output. The radio module supplies the microcomputer
with information on the radio signal level being received (RSSI – Received Signal Strength
Indicator). This information is used for measuring of the signal strength between individual
nodes of the radio network.

CDA70 MODEM DESCRIPTION

2.3.2. Modem component
The modem part converts digital bit flow from the microcomputer to the FFSK or GMSK
analogue modulation, which is brought to the transmitter of the radio data module. And vice
versa, it converts analogue signal from the receiver to digital bit flow to the microcomputer.
The modem part is designed on the basis of a CML integrated circuit.
2.3.3. Microcomputer
The base of the radio data modem controlling microcomputer is represented by a 32-bit
processor with 1 MB of RAM, 512 kB of FLASH ROM and real time clock circuit with a back-up
power supply.
On one side, the microcomputer is connected to the radio data module via the modem
component; on the side of user interface, it is connected to circuits generating signals within
the RS232, RS485, M-BUS or Ethernet standard levels. The microcomputer provides for
connection of up to four user interfaces. All ports are terminated by RJ45 connectors marked
PORT1, PORT2, PORT3 and ETH. All RS232 ports are protected against overvoltage
incoming via data cable. If a device with RS485 interface is to be connected, a level converter
suitable for the appropriate application can be connected to the serial port. Different converters
will be used in case of connection on a short distance or in case galvanic separation is
necessary. The modem's microcomputer can be set for necessary control of the converter
(RS485). To each interface, a device with different communication protocol can be connected -
i.e. the microcomputer can also work as a converter of protocols between individual serial
ports. The wide range of radio modem functions can be set via any of RS232 communication
ports. In addition, the microprocessor manages numerous functions of servicing
and installation purposes. Apart from other important information, the microcomputer memory
records data transmission statistics, strength of signals from individual radio modems,
statistics of communication on individual serial ports, power failures, voltage of backup power
source and temperature inside the radio data modem. See Service manual for description
of service functions.
Configuration of the CDA70 radio data modem is stored in the permanent FLASH ROM
memory. See the Configuration of radio modem chapter for description of its settings.
2.3.4. Inputs and outputs for telemetry
As an option, customers may wish to install inputs and outputs for data collection
and controlling of technological processes in the radio modem. These signals are then led
to an RJ45 connector marked I/O. Five signals are led to this connector. Each of them can be
used either as input or output. Input is analogue 0 to 5V or digital with adjustable threshold.
The output is an open collector able to switch up to 500 mA. Reading and control of I/O signals
is possible both via the radio data network and from any serial RS232 interface. Two radio
data modems can make up a simple technology control, where changes on one modem input
signals can control remote output signals of the other modem and vice versa.
For multi-purpose usage, we supply an interface between the I/O connector
and the technology providing configurable voltage and current inputs, inputs for resistance
measurement (thermometers, barometers etc.), binary inputs with optical isolation and relay

outputs. With the equipment you may establish simple telemetry at low cost, without the use
of industrial control automat.
2.3.5. User interface protocols
For user interface, a range of standard protocols is implemented:
•AT modem
•PROFIBUS
•M-BUS
•MODBUS
•Asynchronous transparent line
•Transparent bus
•Sauter
•IWKA
•SBUS
•RADOM
•RDS
New protocols, currently not supported by the radio modem, can be implemented
according to the customer's needs.
