Introduction

The ESI RF Bridge translates between ESI RF communication and serial ASCII strings via an RS-232 connection.

The messages can be similar to RQ Bridge, which allows ESI RF products to be controlled by Home Automation

Systems, Building Management Systems, or other RS-232 sources with existing ESI RQ drivers. The ESI RF

Bridge communicates to ESI RF devices (motors and the RF Switch Interface) and RQ devices (motors and motor

controls) using the ESI RF RQ Transceiver interface.

Create an ESI RF Network

The ESI RF Bridge communicates with all ESI RF devices as well as RQ motor controls or Q motors that are

connected to ESI RF RQ Transceivers.

Initial Conditions

ESI RF Bridge

Powered up, connected to a PC or automation system, and configured.

ESI RF Devices

To use ESI RF commands from the terminal emulator or automation system, the motor can be in either of the

following two conditions:

motor at factory defaults and unplugged, or

motor with limits set, network information cleared, and unplugged.

To use RQ commands from the terminal emulator or automation system, the motor must be in this condition:

motor with limits set, network information cleared, and unplugged.

NOTE: you can use the motor head buttons or a SUITE remote to set limits on an ESI RF motor.

SUITE remote at factory default and asleep.

For details about using a SUITE remote in an ESI RF network, see the M40/50RF System Quick

Setup Guide on the ESI website: SUITE Arc web page.

RQ Devices

Prepare RQ devices for incorporation into an ESI RF network, but do not plug in the ESI RF RQ Transceiver.

1. The RQ device must be in the following state before connecting to an ESI RF RQ Transceiver:

a. Factory Default —all options set to factory default.

b. Limits set:

i. If RQ control, limits on the motor being controlled must be set and the control

calibrated.

ii. If RQ motor, the limits must be set.

c. Calibrated.

2. Follow the setup instructions in the ESI RF RQ Transceiver Install Guide on the ESI website:

ESI RF RQ Transceiver web page.

3. The RQ device —motor or motor control —must be powered up. The ESI RF RQ Transceiver will be

connected in a later step. A motor control must have a motor connected, to provide feedback (jog), as

an ESI RF network is set up.

the network. Below is an example of a Device List with six devices. The ESI RF Bridge does not show in

the Device List.

NOTE: The RQ address of each device is automatically reassigned, to 3 digit numbers in ascending

order, for example: 001, 002, 003, and so on.

NOTE: For the Type of device: 01 is a SUITE remote, and 06 is an ESI RF motor or ESI RF RQ

Transceiver (connected to a Q motor or RQ motor control).

8. Configure the ESI RF network:

a. Use the SUITE remote to configure the ESI RF network (Set Limits and so on), OR

b. In the terminal emulator or automation system, use the RQ commands listed in the next section to

configure the ESI RF network.

IMPORTANT: If you are not using a SUITE remote in the ESI RF network, you must set limits on

ESI RF motors first, in order to use RQ commands from the terminal emulator to

configure and control those motors.

9. If the ESI RF Bridge will be connected to an automation system after the ESI RF network is set up, then

you must reverse the Echo (On) and Line Termination character (CR+LF) that were turned on previously

in the Configuration Menu. In the terminal emulator:

c. Press the “3.” key.

d. Press the “0.” key to exit the Configuration Menu.

10. Disconnect the PC from the ESI RF Bridge.

11. Connect the ESI RF Bridge to an Automation System.

12. Put the SUITE remote into User Mode, for handoff to the customer.

RQ Message Format —Overview

An RQ message always begins with a Start Character “!” (a.k.a. Bang) and ends with an End Character “;”

(semicolon). There will always be an Address (3 ASCII characters) and a Command (1 ASCII character) as

shown in the table below. In some cases, the Data field is a variable number of characters or no Data. A “?”

(question mark) in the Data field signifies a request message. For Downlink messages, the End Character is “;” or

<CR> (both are treated the same). For Uplink messages, the End Character can be set using the ESI RF Bridge

Configuration Menu to be “;” or <CR>.

RQ Addressing is always three ASCII characters composed of only 0-9 and A-Z. For the case where an address

is 000 —the global command —all RF nodes networked to the ESI RF Bridge are being addressed and for that

reason, no node can have 000 as its address. The ESI RF Bridge is factory addressed at BSB. RQ devices are

given random addresses from the factory (first character will be between “C” and “Z”).

Uplink

Messages from the RF nodes, relayed to the PC/automation system via the ESI RF Bridge.

Downlink

Messages from the PC/automation system, relayed to the RF nodes via the ESI RF Bridge.

The following is an example of a Downlink message from the PC/automation system to the ESI RF Bridge

requesting its version. The literal command string is “!BSBv?;”

Improperly formatted Downlink messages or message content that is out of range will cause the message to be

discarded by the ESI RF Bridge and an Uplink error message generated.

Valid RQ Commands

The RQ commands/messages in the table below are valid when sent to the ESI RF Bridge from a PC or

automation system, or received by the ESI RF Bridge from an RF node.
