RF MODULE-XBEE :

zigbee module
XBee and XBee-PRO Modules were engineered to meet ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 standards and support the unique needs of low-cost, low-power wireless sensor networks. The modules require minimal power and provide reliable delivery of critical data between devices. The modules operate within the ISM 2.4 GHz frequency band and are pin-for-pin compatible with each other.The XBee and XBee-PRO OEM RF Modules were engineered to meet IEEE 802.15.4 standards and support the unique needs of low-cost, low-power wireless sensor networks. The modules require minimal power and provide reliable delivery of data between devices. The modules operate within the ISM 2.4 GHz frequency and are pin-for-pin compatible with each other. ZIGBEE is an open technology developed by the ZIGBEE Alliance to overcome the limitations of BLUETOOTH and Wi-Fi. ZIGBEE is an IEEE 802.15.4 standard for data communications with business and consumer devices. It is designed around low-power consumption allowing batteries to essentially last forever. BLUETOOTH as we know was developed to replace wires and Wi-Fi to achieve higher data transfer rate, as such till now nothing has been developed for sensor networking and control machines which require longer battery life and continuous working without human intervention. ZIGBEE devices allow batteries to last up to years using primary cells (low cost) without any chargers (low cost and easy installation). The ZIGBEE standard provides network, security, and application support services operating on top of the IEEE 802.15.4 Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) wireless standard. It employs a suite of technologies to enable scalable, self-organizing, self-healing networks that can manage various data traffic patterns. Thenetwork layer supports various topologies such star clustered tree topology and self-healing mesh topologywhich is essential in Smart dust apart from easy installation and easy implementation ZIGBEE has a wide application area such as home networking, industrial networking, Smart dust, many more, having different profiles specified for each field. The upcoming of ZIGBEE will revolutionize the home networking and rest of the wireless world.

Electrical Characteristics:

4.13.6  FLOW CONTROL:
DI (Data In) Buffer:
When serial data enters the RF module through the DI pin (pin 3), the data is stored in the DI Buffer until it can be processed.
Hardware Flow Control (CTS):
When the DI buffer is 17 bytes away from being full; by default, the module de-asserts CTS (high) to signal to the host device to stop sending data [refer to D7 (DIO7 Configuration) parameter]. CTS is re-asserted after the DI Buffer has 34 bytes of memory available.
How to eliminate the need for flow control:
1. Send messages that are smaller than the DI buffer size.
2. Interface at a lower baud rate [BD (Interface Data Rate) parameter] than the throughput data rate.
Case in which the DI Buffer may become full and possiblyoverflow:
If the module is receiving a continuous stream of RF data, any serial data that arrives on the DI pin is placed in the DI Buffer. The data in the DI buffer will be transmitted over-the-air when the module is no longer receiving RF data in the network.
DO (Data Out) Buffer:
When RF data is received, the data enters the DO buffer and is sent out the serial port to a host device. Once the DO Buffer reaches capacity, any additional incoming RF data is lost.
Hardware Flow Control (RTS):
If RTS is enabled for flow control (D6 (DIO6 Configuration) Parameter = 1), data will not be sent out the DO Buffer as long as RTS (pin 16) is de-asserted.
Two cases in which the DO Buffer may become full and possibly overflow:
1. If the RF data rate is set higher than the interface data rate of the module, the module will receive data from the transmitting module faster than it can send the data to the host.
2. If the host does not allow the module to transmit data out from the DO buffer because of being held off by hardware or software flow control.
4.14 GSM SIM 900A:
If you are in Europe or Asia and using a mobile phone, then most probably you are using GSM technology in your mobile phone.
GSMstands for Global System for Mobile Communication. It is a digital cellular technology used for transmitting mobile voice and data services.
The concept of GSM emerged from a cell-based mobile radio system at Bell Laboratories in the early 1970s.
·         GSM is the name of a standardization group established in 1982 to create a common European mobile telephone standard.
·         GSM is the most widely accepted standard in telecommunications and it is implemented globally.
·         GSM is a circuit-switched system that divides each 200 kHz channel into eight 25 kHz time-slots. GSM operates on the mobile communication bands 900 MHz and 1800 MHz in most parts of the world. In the US, GSM operates in the bands 850 MHz and 1900 MHz.
·         GSM owns a market share of more than 70 percent of the world's digital cellular subscribers.
·         GSM makes use of narrowband Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technique for transmitting signals.
·         GSM was developed using digital technology. It has an ability to carry 64 kbps to 120 Mbps of data rates.
·         Presently GSM supports more than one billion mobile subscribers in more than 210 countries throughout the world.
·         GSM provides basic to advanced voice and data services including roaming service. Roaming is the ability to use your GSM phone number in another GSM network.
·         GSM digitizes and compresses data, then sends it down through a channel with two other streams of user data, each in its own timeslot.
FEATURES OF GSM MODULE
·         Improved spectrum efficiency
·         International roaming
·         Compatibility with integrated services digital network (ISDN)
·         Support for new services.
·         SIM phonebook management
·         Fixed dialing number (FDN)
·         Real time clock with alarm management
·         High-quality speech
·         Uses encryption to make phone calls more secure
·         Short message service (SMS)
·         The security strategies standardized for the GSM system make it the most secure telecommunications standard currently accessible. Although the confidentiality of a call and secrecy of the GSM subscriber is just ensured on the radio channel, this is a major step in achieving end-to- end security.

Radio modem by SIMComm is used in the shield. Communication with the shield can be done easily with the shield by using AT commands. It Supports features like Data, Voice, GPRS, SMS and integratedTCP/IP stack. The connections of GSM module are done directly to PC through serial port/to microcontroller through serial interface with the use of MAX232. In addition to this, In GPRS mode, it can be connected to internet to run various applications for recording data over the time and to any remote FTP server to upload files for the data to be saved. For different applications particular specifications are required which are mentioned in datasheet of GSM modules
GSM Module

In this system, SMS application is used which is intended for the person who is monitoring the value of CO in a room or an industry whenever it exceeds a particular safe limit chosen according to a particular application. The threshold safe limit as well as the mobile number of the person to which the text message is to be sent is programmed in the Arduino which can be changed for any specific purpose.
