SM3000 SmartPoint OEM module
SmartPoints are part of Ambient’s Series 3000,
which comprises a set of easy to install and use,
highly scalable Third Generation Active RFID
network products. Such networks consists of three
types of devices, namely GateWays, MicroRouters
and SmartPoints. Each network contains at least
one GateWay and – depending on the type of
GateWay – can comprise up to 127 MicroRouters.
SmartPoints then use this backbone infrastructure
to transmit their data and alerts.
The SM3000 is the OEM module version of the
SP3000 SmartPoint. The SP3000 SmartPoint is a
small, battery operated wireless device that is
uniquely characterized by its intelligence. Using its
on-board transceiver it can transmit as well as
receive messages. The SP3000 and SM3000 OEM
module have a highly accurate on-board
temperature sensor and are able to provide
periodic measurements as well as alert situations
when temperature thresholds are breached. They
also contain a built-in 3D Real-Time Location
System (RTLS) localization engine, enabling the
SmartPoint to calculate its own position relieving
the necessity of expensive back office localization
software. The SM3000 OEM module contains as
well a LED for visual feed-back, 1 MB of memory,
for storing product information (e.g. EPC, shipping
bill, product description) and historical sensor and
location data.
3000 Series Networks can grow up to thousands of
SmartPoints allowing for very large and versatile
applications. Their transceiver enables on-demand
behaviour but also allows you to configure the
SmartPoint remotely. So if your application
requirements change, the behaviour of the
SmartPoint can change with it. The SP3000 and
SM3000 SmartPoints are ideally suited for
management by exception as you can configure
your SmartPoint to only sent alerts when a certain
situation arises; this is what we refer to as
Dynamic Event Reporting.
Every SmartPoint is accessible using Ambient's
Device Driver Interface (DDI). DDI provides a
uniform means to address all devices in your
network – GateWays,
MicroRouters and SmartPoints – and their
resources, which are made available by drivers.

User Manual
SM3000 OEM module
Functional description
The module uses SPI for its interface. The module is configured as SPI master, the host as SPI slave. The
clock speed is 1MHz More on timing later.
The module always starts SPI communication by signalling the DR (Data Ready) line. When data is available
for the host the module will transmit the data upon reception to the host using a “write” command. When
the host needs to send data to the module it must signal the RTS (Request To Send) line. The module will
then in due time send a “read” command to receive the data from the host. If both module and host have
data to send the module will issue a “read/write” command for full duplex communication. The drawings in
the following sections omit the CS line. The CS line will be pulled low to mark the start of a byte or a group
of bytes and is intended to function as a SPI hardware enable line for the Host.
Write command
If the module has data to send and the host does not, it will send a write command. The RTS line is kept high
by the host indicating that it has no data to send1. The module will lower the DR line to indicate the start of
communication.
The module will generate a clock signal on the SCLK line. The clock signal consists of groups of 8 pulses.
Each group represents one byte transmitted and received.
The first byte that is outputted on the MOSI line by the module is the write command: 0x35. The second byte
is N: the number of bytes the module will send afterwards. The host may put any data on the MISO line.
These values are ignored by the module. When all bytes are sent the module raises the DR line again to mark
end of communication.

10/27 Ambient Systems B.V.
User Manual
SM3000 OEM module
Read command
The module will periodically check if the host has any data to send and start communication if so1.
The host signals the module it has data to send by pulling the RTS line low. In due time the module lowers
the DR line to mark start of communication.
The module will generate a clock signal on the SCLK line. The clock signal consists of groups of 8 pulses.
Each group represents one byte transmitted and received.
The first byte that is outputted on the MOSI line by the module is the read command: 0x53. For the second
byte the host must then output N: the number of bytes it will send. The module will then generate a clock
signal for N bytes. The host must put its data on the MISO line. The module may put any data on the MOSI
line. These values can be ignored by the host. When all bytes are sent the module raises the DR line again to
mark end of communication.
1 The SM3000 features a wake-up on RTS mechanism. If the SM3000 is in energy saving sleep mode, a downward flank on the RTS
line will wake it up and the module will respond typically within a couple of milliseconds

Read/Write command
If the module has data to send and it detects that also the host has data to send it will start a read/write
communication sequence.
The host signals the module it has data to send by pulling the RTS line low. In due time the module lowers
the DR line to mark start of communication.
The module will generate a clock signal on the SCLK line. The clock signal consists of groups of 8 pulses.
Each group represents one byte transmitted and received.
The first byte that is outputted on the MOSI line by the module is the read/write command: 0xb0. For the
second byte the host must then output N: the number of bytes it will send and the module will output M: the
number of bytes it will send. The module will then generate a clock signal for max(M,N) bytes. The host
must put its data on the MISO line. The module must put its data on the MOSI line. After sending M bytes
the module will continue sending (max(M,N) – M) bytes which can be ignored by the host. After sending N
bytes the host will continue sending (max(M,N) – N) bytes which can be ignored by the module. When all
bytes are sent the module raises the DR line again to mark end of communication.

Timing
The module operates using SPI mode 0. Which means the Clock Phase is 0 and the Clock polarity is 0. The
data is output on the rising edge of SCLK. The data is read on the falling edge of SCLK.

User Manual
SM3000 OEM module
Start-up procedure
It is strongly advised that the host resets the SM3000 upon start-up just before initializing its own SPI
interface. Pulling the RESET line low for about one millisecond will suffice. The RESET line must be kept
high by the host during normal operation for the SM3000 to function.
After initialization the host can detect the presence of the SM3000 by sending a DDI request to the localhost
address (00:00:00:00:00:00) and waiting for a reply. The “echo” function in the DDI echo driver (0:1:1) is very
suitable for this purpose. After a reset the SM3000 is typically responsive within 5 seconds1. If the reply does
not come the host can opt for retrying or resetting a couple of times before the SM3000 is considered not
present.
The source address of the reply is equal to the serial Id of the connected module. The host must use this
address as its own source address if it sends DDI messages over the network. The host must use level 2 for
its source level.
1 In case a new firmware file is present in the file system the start-up time of the SM3000 is extended with roughly 2 seconds

User Manual
SM3000 OEM module
Functional description
The interface on the module enables a full-duplex message oriented communication protocol. It uses 6 (six)
IO lines, 2 data – and 4 control lines. The control lines are used to provide a hardware flow control
mechanism for the communication of a single message. A message is formatted according the SPP protocol
which is described in a separate document 1. Having an SPP formatted message enables error checking and
message synchronization.
The module is a battery operated device which preserves energy by entering an low power mode of
operation whenever it has no action to perform. In LPM the serial receiver is disabled and if the connected
host wants to communicate it needs to wake up the module. The module will respond if it is ready to receive
a message. To facilitate this the interface uses the RTS and CTS control lines. The host signals the module it
has data to send by pulling the RTS line low. If this is detected by the module it will pull the CTS line low
indicating it is ready to receive.
The same mechanism is provided for communication from module to host. This enables the possibility for
also the host device to enter a energy efficient sleep mode. The DTR and DSR control lines are used in this
case. If the module has data to send to the host it will pull the DSR line low to wakeup and signal the host.
The host must pull the DTR line low when it is ready to receive a message from the module. If the module
detects a low DTR line it will start transmitting a single message.
These mechanisms are specified in detail in the following sections.
Serial port(UART) settings
The following serial communication settings are used
Speed 115200 baud
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Host to SM3000 transmission
If the host has data to send it will pull down its RTS line. If detected the module will pull its CTS line low
allowing the host to send its message. As soon as the message is transmitted the host will pull it RTS line
high again. The module will pull its line high if it received a complete message.

16/27 Ambient Systems B.V.
User Manual
SM3000 OEM module
This is illustrated in the following diagram:
At the moment the RTS is pulled low the module is either sleeping or active. When active the module is most
probably busy with wireless communication during which it will not respond to the RTS event. Only after
finishing wireless communication will it acknowledge any pending communication requests. By this the
module's response time can be quite significant. Refer to Section Timing for TA (module response time) . If
the module does not respond within the given time the host should retry communication by generating a
new downward flank on the RTS line.
After the module lowered its CTS line it starts timing the reception of a full message. The host has
TB (module receive time) to complete sending the message after the CTS was lowered. Failure to do so will
make the module raise its CTS line before the end of the message and the host should retry communication
by generating a new downward flank on the RTS line
SM3000 to Host transmission
If the module has data to send it will pull down its DSR line. It then waits for the host to lower its DTR line.
When a low DTR is detected the module starts transmitting the message. As soon as the message is
completed the DSR line is raised. The host can raise the DTR as soon as it received the complete message or
detected the DSR being pulled high.
This is illustrated in the following diagram:
17/27 Ambient Systems B.V.
User Manual
SM3000 OEM module
If the DTR is pulled high before the end of the message the module will stop transmission and considers the
message lost (message is thrown away).
Please refer to Section Timing for timing values. After lowering the DSR the module will wait for maximum
T1 (host response time) for the host to lower its DTR line. If this time is exceeded the module will raise its
DSR line and consider the message lost (message is thrown away)
After lowering the DTR line the host should receive a complete message within T2. If this is not the case the
host can raise its DTR line and disable its receiver until the module generates a new negative edge on the
DSR line.
In case the host is always on (e.g. a PC) and needs no wake-up mechanism, implementation of the interface
can be simplified by pulling the DTR line low continuously and ignore the DSR line (see also: Remarks –
Host implementationWin32)
Parallel execution
Please note that both module and host should support parallel execution of sending and receiving. It is for
example possible that the module after lowering its CTS starts a transmission by pulling its DSR line low.
The host should be able to accept this request and start receiving data in parallel to its active transmission.

Modular requirements overview
Own RF shielding
The module has an 18 x 18 x 4mm tin-plated brass shield that covers the essential radio components. It is
located near the middle of the PC-board as shown in the following photo.
21/27 Ambient Systems B.V.
User Manual
SM3000 OEM module
Buffered modulation and data input(s)
In an organized, periodic manner, the SM3000 processor, a sub-section of the radio chip (U1 – CC2430,
samples digital data inputs introduced to the Module. Data buffering and formatting takes place within the
SM3000 processor, so the actual input data amplitude or rate does not directly modulate the RF carrier and
therefore cannot change the actual RF output level or emission spectrum.
Power supply regulation and local reference oscillator
The radio chip (U1) contains internal voltage regulation to ensure RF output power and modulation remains
consistent. The reference oscillator is crystal-based (X51).
Antenna requirements
The module has an integral antenna (pc-board trace) that cannot be modified or connected to. There is no
mechanism provided for connecting an external antenna.
RF exposure requirements
The module meets the requirements for a portable device that may be used at separation distances of less than
2.5cm from the human body because its output power is below the threshold of 25mW for a 2.4GHz device.
The Module's output power is approximately 10mW EIRP.
Testing in stand-alone configuration
The SM3000 Module was tested as a ‘stand-alone’ device for radiated spurious emissions and found to comply.
Since the device is only battery powered, AC-conducted emissions tests were not applicable.
Label requirements
The label on the module follows the FCC and Industry Canada requirements. The module has two labels as
shown below:
Additionally, the manufacturer’s name is silkscreened on the PC-board:
