1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose and Audience
The purpose of this document is to define the VN220 radio modems connectivity on Nivis dataacquisition boards and to provide the necessary data to achieve hardware integration of the VN220 and
these data acquisition boards with customer application processors. The document also provides
reference design information for customers who wish to purchase the VN220 separately from the Nivis
development kit in order to develop a different application.
By definition the VN220 is a wireless modem that is pre-loaded with the Nivis WirelessHART stack.

2. Pin-out and Interface Summary
The following section presents the pin assignments of the VN220 as used on the VL10 and VS220 boards,
which are part of the Nivis HART development kit.
An external processing entity can communicate with the VN220 using a variety of methods depending
on the application. The UART1 port is used for serial firmware upload, and in some applications, it is
used to talk to the HART modem.
The VN220 is used in two applications in the Nivis HART development kit: the VL10 and the VS220. Nivis
VL10 is designed specifically for WirelessHART applications and enables customers to connect a variety
of 4-20mA devices in order to transmit temperature or other sensor data using the WirelessHART
standard to the customers Gateway. The VS220 is a development board designed specifically for
WirelessHART developers to enable fast product integration and development for industrial wireless
solutions.
Figure 1 shows the VN220 pin assignments. Table 1 shows the pin descriptions for the VL10 application,
and Table 2 shows the pin descriptions for the VS220 application.
Note: For minimum battery consumption, all unused GPIOs should be left unconnected.

Note 2: On the VS220 board, the WirelessHART stack normally uses UART1 to communicate with the
HART Modem (KBI2 is automatically set to 0, and J12, J16, J17, J18, J19 and J20 jumpers must be
populated (the RTS signal communicates the direction of dataflow to the HART Modem). Occasionally
the user can decide to make a serial firmware loading through USB or J14 connector, using the dedicated
Nivis PC application. For serial firmware loading through the USB interface or through J14, first populate
only the following jumpers: J10, J12 and J21 before powering on the board. During boot and firmware
loading, KBI2 is automatically set to 1, while RTS is not used. If connector J14 is used instead of USB port
for firmware loading, TTL RS232 level shifters must be employed when connecting to the PCs RS232
port.

3. VL10 Application
The Nivis VL10 is designed specifically for WirelessHART applications and enables customers to connect
a variety of 4-20mA devices in order to read and transmit temperature or other sensor data using the
WirelessHART standard to the users Gateway. The Nivis VL10 has several interfaces that are useful tothe user.
The Nivis VL10 uses the VN220 radio, which contains an MC13224 processor running a Nivis certifiable
WirelessHART stack. It also includes a HART Maintenance Port (FSK interface) on the HART Modem
daughter card.
3.1 VL10 HART Modem Interface
The WirelessHART stack residing on the VN220 radio only supports the FSK interface (HART Modem) as a
Maintenance Port as described by the WirelessHART specification from the HART foundation.
The Maintenance Port impedance is 500 Ohm and normally it is not coupled with the VL10 4-20 mA
analog input. It is designated only for device configuration, and it does not support Burst Mode.
The HART Configuration Tool (or Handheld device) is connected to the Maintenance Port at TR1 and TR2
pins. In the default configuration, they are isolated from the boards ground, so their polarity does not
matter.
The HART Modem interface resides on connector J1 on the VL10. The VL10 comes pre-populated with a
Nivis HART Modem interface board connected at J1.
The VN220 radio communicates with the HART Modem using the UART2 interface (CTS line is not used),
and the GPIO lines described in this section. The VL10 was designed for a maximum compatibility with
the HART Modem daughter board, which contains a HART certifiable modem IC, part number
DS8500-JND+.
In order to save power, the HART Modem circuit is turned on by the VN220 only when a carrier signal is
first detected by an auxiliary low-power carrier detector circuit also located on the Modem daughter
board. The HART Modem is turned back off only after the masters request (STX) packet is received and
the slave response (ACK) packet is transmitted.
The GPIO handshaking and data transfer between the VN220 and the HART modem daughter board
connector on the VL10 is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Modem Interface GPIO for VL10
The Auxiliary Carrier Detect line is an external interrupt input to the VN220. This signal becomes HIGH
when the auxiliary low-power carrier detector located on the HART Modem daughter board detects a
carrier on the line. This circuit is always powered, even when the HART Modem is switched off, and it is
only used to wake-up the VN220 from the sleep mode and/or to request the modems power control to
be switched on by the VN220.
Modem On is an output from the VN220 that turns on the power supply for the HART modem chip.
A LOW on this line will turn on the modem, and a HIGH will turn off the modem. The modem will be
turned on, to stay on reception mode, when the Auxiliary Carrier Detect line first indicates that there is a
carrier on the line.
The Modem OCD line is an input to the VN220 and is connected to the CD digital output of the HART
modem IC. This signal is used by the software to monitor the carrier presence during the reception of a
packet. Logic HIGH indicates a valid carrier detection.
The Data Out / UART2 RX line is the digital data output of the HART modems demodulator and an input
to the VN220s UART2 RX line.
The Data In / UART2 TX line is the digital data input to the HART modems modulator and an outputfrom the VN220s UART2 TX line.
The RTS line is a digital input to the modem from the VN220. When set high, the modem is put into the
demodulator mode. A logic-low puts the modem into modulator mode.

3.2 VL10 4-20 mA Input Connectivity
The VL10 acts as a WirelessHART sensor (transmitter) field device. The analog 4-20 mA input on VL10 is
identified with its Primary Variable, which can be transmitted wirelessly, but it does not support the
standard HART current loop output (the VL10 accepts analog data from a non-HART 4-20 mA transmitterdevice through its analog input, however it does not have an analog output configuration to transmit
the measured data value by analog signaling).
On the VL10, the HART Maintenance Port (FSK interface) is separate from the 4-20 mA analog input.
The field device can access the maintenance port on the VL10 on ports TR1 and TR2. Normally they are
isolated from the boards ground, so their polarity does not matter.
To connect the 4-20 mA loop to the VL10 analog input, connect the positive side to TB1, and the
negative side to TB2. Also populate J11, and depopulate J5 and J6. Refer to Figures 3, 4, and to the HART
Loop board schematic in Appendix A for more information.
Note: To introduce minimal error rate in the loop current measurement, ensure that the ground from the
power source is isolated from the VL10 ground. Using a power source with non-isolated ground cancause a significant measuring error at the differential amplifier input.
As an option, the Maintenance Port can be physically connected to the 4-20mA input circuit via
populating jumpers J5, J6 and depopulating J11. Be aware that this will introduce a 500 Ohm resistor in
series with the current loop. Figure 3 shows this connectivity on the VL10 boards side, and Figure 4
shows the circuitry involved on the Modem Daughter Board side.

4. VS220 Application
The VS220 sensor node fulfills the Wireless HART field device logical role in the WirelessHART network.
The Nivis VS220 offers a complete integration platform for users who intend to WirelessHART enable
their instruments. This is accomplished by exposing various hardware ports of the stack modem throughwhich the user can interface an application processor.
The Nivis VS220 uses the VN220 radio, which contains an MC13224 processor running a Nivis certifiable
Wireless HART stack. It also includes a HART Maintenance Port (FSK interface) on the HART Modem
daughter card.
4.1 VS220 HART Modem Interface
The VS220 board supports the FSK interface (HART Modem) as a Maintenance Port as described by
WirelessHART specification. The Maintenance Port impedance is 500 Ohms and normally it is not
coupled with the VS220 4-20 mA analog input. It is designated only for device configuration, and it does
not support Burst Mode.
The HART Modem interface board resides on connector J6 on the VS220. The VS220 comes
pre-populated with a Nivis HART Modem interface board connected at J6.
The VN220 radio communicates with the HART Modem using the UART1 interface (CTS line is not used),
and the other GPIO lines described below. Actually UART1 is used for multiple applications on the
VS220. Appropriate jumper settings described in this document and shown on the VS220 schematic in
Appendix B of this document, need to be implemented for the UART1 pins to connect to the HART
modem. The VS220 was designed for a maximum compatibility with the HART Modem daughter board,
which contains a HART certified modem IC, part number DS8500-JND+.
In order to save power, the HART Modem circuit is turned on by the VN220 only when a carrier signal is
first detected by an auxiliary low-power carrier detector circuit also located on the Modem daughter
board. The HART Modem will be turned back off only after the masters request (STX) packet wasreceived and the slave response (ACK) packet was transmitted.
The GPIO handshaking and data transfer between the VN220 and the HART modem daughter board
connector on the VS220 is shown in Figure 10.

25/46
08-00023-01 VN220 Hardware Integration Application Note v.1.2 25/46
Proprietary & ConfidentialNIVIS LLC
The Auxiliary Carrier Detect line is an external interrupt input to the VN220. This signal becomes HIGH
when the auxiliary low-power carrier detector located on the HART Modem board detects the presence
of a carrier on the line. This circuit is always powered, even when the HART Modem is switched off, and
it is only used to wake-up the VN220 from the sleep mode and/or to request the modems power
control to be switched on by the VN220.
Modem On is an output from the VN220 that turns on the power supply for the HART modem chip.
A LOW on this line will turn on the modem, and a HIGH will turn off the modem. The modem will beturned on, to stay on reception mode, when the Auxiliary Carrier Detect line first indicates that there is a
carrier on the line.
The Modem OCD line is an input to the VN220 and is connected to the CD digital output of the HART
modem chip. This signal is the one used by the software to monitoring the carrier presence during the
reception of a packet. A logic HIGH indicates a valid carrier detection.
The Data Out / UART1 RX line is the digital data output of the HART modems demodulator and an input
to the VN220s UART1 RX line.
The Data In / UART1 TX line is the digital data input to the HART modems modulator and an output
from the VN220s UART1 TX line.
The RTS line is a digital input to the modem from the VN220. When set high, the HART modem is put
into the demodulator mode. A logic-low puts the HART modem into modulator mode.

4.2 VS220 4-20 mA Input Connectivity
The VS220 acts as a WirelessHART sensor (transmitter) field device. The analog 4-20 mA input on the
VS220 is identified with its Primary Variable, which can be transmitted wirelessly, but it does not
support the standard HART current loop output (the VS220 accepts analog data from a non-HART 4-20mA transmitter device through its analog input, however it does not have an analog output
configuration to transmit the measured data value by analog signaling).
On the VS220 board, the HART Maintenance Port (FSK interface) is separate from the 4-20 mA analog
input. The field device can access the maintenance port on TR1 and TR2, and normally they are isolated
from the boards ground, so their polarity does not matter.
To connect the 4-20 mA loop to the VS220 analog input, connect the positive side to TB1, and the
negative side to TB2. Also populate J22, and depopulate J7 and J8. Refer to Figure 11 and to the HART
Development Board Schematic in Appendix B for more information.
As an option, the Maintenance Port can be physically connected to the 4-20mA input circuit via
populating jumpers J7, J8 and depopulating J22. Be aware that this will introduce a 500 Ohm resistor inseries with the current loop. Figure 11 shows the connectivity on the VS220 board, and Figure 4 shows
the circuitry on the Modem Daughter Board side.

4.3 VS220 Input Power Options
The VS220 has the ability to have input power applied to the board via three methods described in this
section.
WARNING: FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE STEPS IN SECTION 4.3 FOR EACH POWER METHOD MAYRESULT IN THE BOARD BEING DAMAGED. SPECIAL CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO COMPLY WITH EACH STEP
BELOW BEFORE APPLYING APPROPRIATE POWER TO THE BOARD.
1. External input power via TB3 connection. The external power supplys input range is 7 to 16
volts DC. For external input power, the following steps need to be performed or verified before
applying power:
1. SW4 needs to be at switch position 1.
2. R14 needs to be de-populated (default board configuration)
3. R15 and R16 needs to be populated (default configuration).
2. Battery power via the battery holder BT1. For maximum battery life, battery power is supplied
by four 3.6V cell Lithium AA batteries. As an alternative, four 1.5V Alkaline AA batteries can be
used for approximately 3 to 8 days of battery life. For battery power, the following steps need to
be performed or verified before applying power:
a. SW4 needs to be at switch position 2.
b. R14 needs to be de-populated (default board configuration).
c. R15 and R16 needs to be populated (default configuration).
3. USB 5V power. For external USB 5V power, the following steps need to be performed or verified
before applying power:
a. SW4 needs to be at switch position 3.
b. R14 (zero Ohm resistor) needs to be populated.
c. R15 and R16 need to be de-populated.
d. A USB cable needs to be connected at J11.
Note: It is not necessary to apply board power via USB in order to update the
firmware via USB. If USB communication is necessary, the VS220 can still
communicate over the USB cable while in input power option 1 or 2 (battery or
external supply). Option 3 is not recommended by Nivis and must only be used if the
board requires 5V power from the USB cable and cannot be powered via the external
supply or battery option.
