1. Introduction
1.1 What is DDS45-CB NB-IoT/LTE-M Distance Detection Sensor
The Dragino DDS45-CB is a NB-IoT/LTE-M Distance Detection Sensor for Internet of Things solution. It is used to measure the distance between the sensor and a flat object. The distance detection sensor is a module that uses ultrasonic sensing technology for distance measurement, and temperature compensation is performed internally to improve the reliability of data. The DDS45-CB can be applied to scenarios such as horizontal distance measurement, liquid level measurement, parking management system, object proximity and presence detection, intelligent trash can management system, robot obstacle avoidance, automatic control, sewer, bottom water level monitoring, etc.
It detects the distance between the measured object and the sensor, and and send IoT platform via NB-IoT/CAT-M1 network.
DDS45-CB supports different uplink methods including MQTT, MQTTs, UDP , TCP or CoAP for different application requirement, and support uplinks to various IoT Servers.
DDS45-CB supports BLE configure and OTA update which make user easy to use.
DDS45-CB is powered by 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery, it is designed for long-term use up to several years.
DDS45-CB has optional built-in SIM card and default IoT server connection version. Which makes it works with simple configuration.

2.1 Send data to IoT server via NB-IoT/LTE-M network
The DDS45-CB is equipped with a NB-IoT module, the pre-loaded firmware in DDS45-CB will get environment data from sensors and send the value to local NB-IoT network via the NB-IoT module. The NB-IoT network will forward this value to IoT server via the protocol defined by DDS45-CB.
Below shows the network structure:
There are two version: -GE and -1T version of DDS45-CB.
GE Version: This version doesn't include SIM card or point to any IoT server. User needs to use AT Commands to configure below two steps to set DDS45-CB send data to IoT server.
- Install NB-IoT SIM card and configure APN. See instruction of Attach Network.
- Set up sensor to point to IoT Server. See instruction of Configure to Connect Different Servers.

3.11 Clock logging
Sometimes when we deploy lots of end nodes in field. We want all sensors sample data at the same time, and upload these data together for analyze. In such case, we can use clock loging feature.
We can use this command to set the start time of data recording and the time interval to meet the requirements of the specific collection time of data.
AT command: AT+CLOCKLOG=a,b,c,d
a: 0: Disable Clock logging. 1: Enable Clock Logging
b: Specify First sampling start second: range (0 ~ 3599, 65535) // Note: If parameter b is set to 65535, the log period starts after the node accesses the network and sends packets.
c: Specify the sampling interval: range (0 ~ 255 minutes)
d: How many entries should be uplink on every TDC (max 32)
Note: To disable clock recording, set the following parameters: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,0,0
Example:
AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,1,5
After the node sends the first packet, data is recorded to the memory at intervals of 1 minute. For each TDC uplink, the uplink load will include: battery information + the last 5 memory records (payload + timestamp).
Note: Users need to synchronize the server time before configuring this command. If the server time is not synchronized before this command is configured, the command takes effect only after the node is reset.
Downlink command: 0x08
Format: Command Code (0x08) followed by 5 bytes.

AT+TLSMOD=1,2 //Perform server and client authentication if requested by the remote server
Downlink command: 0x09
Format: Command Code (0x09) followed by 2 bytes.
Example1: Downlink Payload: 09 00 00 //AT+TLSMOD=0,0

- AT+IPTYPE=1 // IPv4
- AT+IPTYPE=2 // IPv6
3.19 Configure Network Category to be Searched for under LTE RAT.
AT command: AT+IOTMOD=xx
xx: 0: eMTC

3.20 Factory data reset
Two different restore factory Settings configurations.
AT command:
- AT+FDR // Reset Parameters to Factory Default.
- AT+FDR1 // Reset parameters to factory default values except for passwords.
3.21 Set CoAP option
Feature: Set CoAP option, follow this link to set up the CoaP protocol.
AT command: AT+URI1~AT+URI8
AT+URI1=11,"i" // "i/" indicates that the endpoint supports observation mode. In -CB products, fixed setting AT+URI1=11,"i"
AT+URI2=11,"CoAP endpoint URl" // 11 is a fixed parameter.
Example: i/13a35fbe-9515-6e55-36e8-081fb6aacf86
AT+URI1=11,"i"
AT+URI2=11,"13a35fbe-9515-6e55-36e8-081fb6aacf86"
-->If multiple groups of CoAP endpoint urls:
AT+URI3=11,"i"
AT+URI4=11,"CoAP endpoint URl"
3.22 Power on / power off BG95 module
This command is used to power on and power off BG95 module.
- AT command: AT+QSW
The module is powered on after the command is sent for the first time, and powered off after the command is sent again.

6. FAQ
6.1 How can I access the BG95-NGFF AT Commands?
User can access to BG95-NGFF directly and send AT Commands.
6.2 Can I use DDS45-CB in condensation environment?
DDS45-CB is not suitable to be used in condensation environment. Condensation on the DDS45-CB probe will affect the reading and always got 0.
6.3 General Manual for -CB , -CS models
Users can follow the instructions in this link to see how to configure to connect to different servers.
7. Trouble Shooting
7.1 Why does the sensor reading show 0 or "No sensor"
1. The measurement object is very close to the sensor, but in the blind spot of the sensor.
2. Sensor wiring is disconnected
3. Not using the correct decoder
7.2 Abnormal readings The gap between multiple readings is too large or the gap between the readings and the actual value is too large
1) Please check if there is something on the probe affecting its measurement (condensed water, volatile oil, etc.)
2) Does it change with temperature, temperature will affect its measurement
3) If abnormal data occurs, you can turn on DEBUG mode, Please use downlink or AT COMMAN to enter DEBUG mode.
downlink command: F1 01, AT command: AT+DDEBUG=1
4) After entering the debug mode, it will send 20 pieces of data at a time, and you can send its uplink to us for analysis
Its original payload will be longer than other data. Even though it is being parsed, it can be seen that it is abnormal data.
Please send the data to us for check.
