LICAL-XXX-MS001 YYWWNNN MS Series Remote Control Encoder and Decoder The MS Series encoders and decoders are ideal for one-way remote control applications. They are used to transfer the status of up to eight buttons or contacts across a wireless or wired link. The large, twenty-four bit address size makes transmissions highly unique, minimizing the possibility of conflict between multiple devices. The encoders and decoders are configured through a simple hardware interface, so no programming or software is required. 0.309 Encoder/Decoder Configuration: The MS Series is configured by connecting pins to supply (7.85) 0.207 (5.25) 0.026 or ground. There is no software or programming required. (0.65) Unique Addressing: The MS Series offers a simple hardware addressing method without the need for software or programming. A 24-bit address is created in the encoder by 0.284 (7.20) 0.013 pressing and holding a button. The address is learned by the decoder with another button (0.32) press. The 24-bit address provides over 16.7 million addresses, so the chances of adjacent systems activating each other is very small. 0.079 More Buttons: The MS Series supports up to 8 data lines that can be connected to buttons, (2.00) contacts or microcontroller lines. This offers more functionality than many similar parts. 0.007 0.002 0.030 (0.18) (0.05) Additionally, the outputs can be set as latched or momentary by setting the logic state of a (0.75) single pin. Control Permissions: The MS Series can be configured so that certain encoders can only Specifications activate certain outputs on the decoder. This allows the creation of user groups and Operating Voltage 2.0 to 5.5VDC relationships rather than an all-or-nothing activation. Supply Current 370A Power Down Current 0.1A Receiver Power Control: The decoder can power the receiver on a 10% duty cycle. This allows the receiver to stay asleep 90% of the time, conserving power consumption in Response Time 22.5ms applications where power is critical. Likewise, the encoder can power on the transmitter only Operating 40 to +85C Temperature Range when it is sending data. Transmitter Identification: The decoder outputs a binary number identifying the encoder Applications that sent the transmission. This allows access attempts to be logged. Door and Gate Openers Remote Device Control Low Power: The MS Series has extremely low power consumption, making it ideal for Call Systems applications with a limited power supply, such as a coin cell battery. Home / Industrial Automation Remote Status Monitoring Development System: The MS Series Master Development System allows customers to Lighting Control easily evaluate the performance and operation of the MS Series. The Development System features an encoder paired with a Linx LR Series Transmitter on the sending side and a decoder and paired with a Linx LR Series Receiver on the receive side. The boards are fully assembled and feature a prototyping area with full access to all of the lines for the encoder and decoder. This makes it very simple to interface the Development System to prototype circuits to test operation. Revised 4/3/2015Typical Application Circuits When activated, the encoder encodes the current states of its inputs and its address into a packet and outputs a digital data stream. This data can be sent to a decoder by RF modules, infrared link or even a wire. The decoder checks the received packet to make sure there are no errors and that the received address has been learned. If everything is good, then the decoder replicates the encoders input states on its outputs. These outputs are connected to whatever circuitry is required by the application. The circuits below show typical applications of the MS Series encoder and decoder. 100k 100k 1 20 LICAL-ENC-MS001 D6 D5 100k 100k 2 19 D7 D4 100k 3 18 SEL BAUD0 D3 100k 4 17 SEL BAUD1 D2 5 16 GND VCC 6 15 GND VCC 100k 7 14 GND D1 100k 8 13 To Transmitter PDN TX CNTL D0 9 12 220 To Transmitter DATA OUT SEND 100k 220 10 11 MODE IND CREATE ADDR 100k MS Series encoder 1 20 LICAL-DEC-MS001 D6 D5 10k 2.2k 2 19 D7 D4 3 18 SEL BAUD0 D3 4 17 SEL BAUD1 D2 5 16 GND VCC 6 15 GND VCC 7 14 LATCH D1 8 13 To Receiver RX CNTL D0 9 12 To Processor or PC From Receiver TX ID DATA IN 220 10 11 MODE IND LEARN 100k MS Series decoder Ordering Information Part Number Description LICAL-ENC-MS001 MS Series Encoder LICAL-DEC-MS001 MS Series Decoder MDEV-LICAL-MS MS Series Master Development System with LR Series Modules MDEV-LICAL-MS-ES MS Series Master Development System With ES Series modules 159 Ort Lane, Merlin, OR, US 97532 Phone: +1 541 471 6256 Fax: +1 541 471 6251 MS Series Remote Control Encoder and Decoder www.linxtechnologies.com
