Bluetooth 4.0 settings
FMB1YX offers Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy, also referred as BLE) functionality. User is able to discover nearby BLE devices and their services. Another feature is TZ-BT04/05 sensor support. Sensors provide data about temperature (TZ-BT04 and TZ-BT05) and humidity (TZ-BT04 only).
Configurable parameters:
- Non Stop Scan - Enabled Non Stop Scan feature, device will try to scan for the sensors all the time if any of them are configured.
- TZ-BT04/05/05B Update frequency – changes sensor's temperature/humidity/battery voltage data update frequency.
Minimum value: 120 s, maximum value: 65535 s, default value: 120. - BLE Scan Duration - Sensors data reading time.
- Scan retries until error - Configured scan retries, to show the Error Value '3000' - sensor disconnected.
- Working mode – Bluetooth connection mode. Disabled: Bluetooth 4.0 connection will not be used. TZ-BT04/05/05B sensor: this Bluetooth connection will be used to communicate with TZ-BT04/05/05B sensor. Advanced - It allows to gather data from BLE device‘s broadcast packets regardless of what data packing protocol is used.
Few Examples of the Configured Values:
Non Stop Scan Enabled.
In configurator when nonstop sensor scan is active update frequency & scan retries until error will be hidden. Although BLE scan duration will still be active because it is important for btgetlist SMS command.
Non Stop Scan Disabled, Scan period is selected manually.
From the picture above, the Scan time period will be selected from two sources, BLE Scan Duration - the time when sensors is scanned and the Update frequency - The time when the sensors information is packet as the AVL Data record.
For example.
Update frequency - 120 seconds.
BLE Scan Duration - 60 Seconds
Device first scan the sensors for the 60 seconds, after this time, the device will pack the remaining records to the AVL data package. Total sensors information update time will be 120 seconds.
Advanced Mode
When Advanced mode is selected a table with configurable parameters will appear:
- The table has 9 types of parameters:
- Type – EIR data type. This parameter will indicate which type to look for and work with. Note: We have also added type with value 0xFE which will indicate to work with a whole data packet and not just a single data type.
- Data Offset – start index of data we are interested in.
- Data Size – size of data we are interested in.
- Action – two actions are possible: Match and Save. Match means that we want to perform a validation of certain data. Save means that we want to get certain data and later save it to an AVL record.
- IO – tells which IO elements data will be saved to. Possible choices for IO elements will be described later in the chapter. Used only with Save action.
- Match – hex string to be matched with BLE sensor data. Used only with Match action.
- Endianness – endianness of data: little endian (ex. 0x1122) or big endian (ex. 0x2211). Used only with Save action.
- Multiplier – value to be used to multiply output data. Used only with Save action.
- Offset – value to be added to output data. Used only with Save action.

FMB Family Bluetooth 4.0 support
Devices that are listed in table below shows which device model has Bluetooth 4.0 hardware installed. If your device is manufactured before the day shown in the list it means that this model does not have Bluetooth functionality or it has older version installed. Date shown in table depends on when hardware production has started, but not when first lot was sold.
