1. Introduction

1.1 What is MDS200-CB NB-IoT/LTE-M Microwave Radar distance Sensor

The Dragino MDS200-CB is a NB-IoT/LTE-M Microwave Radar distance Sensor for Internet of Things solution. It uses 24Ghz Microwave to detect the distance between sensor and diferent objects. Diferent from ultrosonic or Lidar measurement. Microwave Radar is more reliable for condensation / dusty environment. It can sense correct distance even there is water or think dust on top of the sensor.

The MDS200-CB can be applied to scenarios such as horizontal distance measurement, parking management system, object proximity and presence detection, intelligent trash can management system, robot obstacle avoidance, automatic control, sewer, etc.

MDS200-CB can measure two distances: the closest object and next object behind the closest one.

MDS200-CB supports Alarm Feature, user can set the MDS200-CB to uplink data in a short interval when the distance is out of confgured range.

MDS200-CB supports different uplink methods including MQTT, MQTTs, UDP, TCP or CoAP for different application requirement, and support uplinks to various IoT Servers.

MDS200-CB supports BLE configure and OTA update which make user easy to use.

MDS200-CB is powered by 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery, it is designed for long-term use up to several years.

MDS200-CB has optional built-in SIM card and default IoT server connection version. Which makes it works with simple configuration.

2. Use MDS200-CB to communicate with IoT Server

2.1 Send data to IoT server via NB-IoT network

The MDS200-CB is equipped with a NB-IoT module, the pre-loaded firmware in MDS200-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 MDS200-CB.

Below shows the network structure:

There are two version: -GE and -1T version of MDS200-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 MDS200-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.  

Below shows result of different server as a glance.

1T Version: This version has 1NCE SIM card pre-installed and configure to send value to ThingsEye. User Just need to select the sensor type in ThingsEyeand Activate MDS200-CB and user will be able to see data in ThingsEye. See here for ThingsEye Config Instruction.

2.2 ​Payload Types

To meet different server requirement, MDS200-CB supports different payload type.

Includes:

• General JSON format payload. (Type=5)

• HEX format Payload. (Type=0)

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.

• Example 1: Downlink Payload: 08 01 FFFF 0F 08             // Set SHT record time: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,15,8
• Example 2: Downlink Payload: 08 01 04B0 0F 08             // Set SHT record time: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,1200,15,8

Note: When entering the downlink payload, there must be no Spaces between bytes.

3.12 Set the TLS mode

Refer to this link (MQTT Connection to send data to Tago.io)to use the TLS mode.

AT Command: AT+TLSMOD

Example 1:  AT+TLSMOD=0,0   // Disable TLS Mode.

Example 2:  AT+TLSMOD=1,0   // No authentication

                     AT+TLSMOD=1,1   // Perform server authentication

                     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

Example2:  Downlink Payload: 09 01 02    // AT+TLSMOD=1,2

3.13 Set GNSS open time

Extend the time to turn on GNSS. The automatic GPS location time is extended when the node is activated.

AT Command: AT+GNSST

Example: AT+GNSST=30  // Set the GPS positioning time to 30 seconds

Downlink command: 0x10

Format: Command Code (0x10) followed by 2 bytes.

Example:  Downlink Payload: 10 00 1E    // AT+GNSST=30

3.14 Turn on/off GPS

AT Command: AT+GPS 

Ex1:  AT+GPS=0    //Turn off GPS

Ex2:  AT+GPS=1    //Turn on GPS

Downlink command: 0x11

Format: Command Code (0x11) followed by 1 byte.

Example:  Downlink Payload: 11 01   //AT+GPS=1

3.15 Set GPS positioning interval

Feature: Set GPS positioning interval (unit: hour). 

When GPS is enabled, the node automatically locates and uplinks each time it passes GTDC time after activation.

AT Command: AT+GTDC

Example: AT+GTDC=24  // Set the GPS positioning interval to 24h.

Downlink command: 0x12

Format: Command Code (0x12) followed by 3 bytes.

Example: 24 hours:  24(D)=0x18(H)

               Downlink Payload: 12 00 00 18  // AT+GTDC=24

3.16 Set the search network time

Feature: Get or Set the time to join the network(unit: minutes).

AT Command: AT+CSQTIME

Example: AT+CSQTIME=10 // Set the search time to 10 minutes.

Downlink command: 0x13

Format: Command Code (0x13) followed by 1 byte.

Example:  Downlink Payload: 13 0A  // AT+CSQTIME=10

3.17 Set Alarm Distance

On each sampling define by AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,15,8 ( default 15 minutes), when the value exceed the range, it will trigger an Alarm and immediately sends a uplink. 

AT command: AT+ALARM1, AT+ALARM2

AT+ALARM1=AA,BB

AT+ALARM2=AA,BB

• AA: Dec value for Alarm low threshold, BB: Dec value for Alarm high threshold
• When 0xAA=0, and 0xBB≠0, Alarm trigger when higher than max
• When 0xAA≠0, and 0xBB =0xFFFF, Alarm trigger when lower than min
• When 0xAA≠0 and 0xBB≠0, Alarm trigger when higher than max or lower than min

Example:

   AT+ALARM1=100,200   // For diatance 1, alarm when < 100 or higher than 200.(Min:50cm, Max:2000cm)

   AT+ALARM2=200,300   // For diatance 2, alarm when < 200 or higher than 300.(Min:50cm, Max:2000cm)

Downlink command: 0x0A

Format: Command Code (0x0A) followed by 8 bytes. The first 4 bytes after 0A are set to the limit range of distance 1, and the last 4 bytes after 0A are set to the limit range of distance 2.

Example:  Downlink Payload:  0A 00 64 00 C8 00 C8 01 2C   //AT+ALARM1=100,200 & AT+ALARM2=200,300

                Downlink Payload:  0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   //AT+ALARM1=0,0 & AT+ALARM2=0,0   Distance 1 and Distance 2 alarms are not enabled.

3.18 Set the IPv4 or IPv6

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"
