General Description
The Honeywell HMR2300 is a three-axis smart digital
magnetometer to detect the strength and direction of an
incident magnetic field. The three of Honeywell’s
magneto-resistive sensors are oriented in orthogonal
directions to measure the X, Y and Z vector
components of a magnetic field. These sensor outputs
are converted to 16-bit digital values using an internal
delta-sigma A/D converter. An onboard EEPROM
stores the magnetometer’s configuration for consistent
operation. The data output is serial full-duplex RS-232
or half-duplex RS-485 with 9600 or 19,200 data rates.
A RS-232 development kit version is available that
includes a windows compatible demo program,
interface cable, AC adapter, and carrying case.

RS-485 BALANCED I/O INTERCONNECTS – Figure 7
DATA COMMUNICATIONS
The RS-232 signals are single-ended undirectional levels that are sent received simultaneously (full duplex). One
signal is from the host personal computer (PC) transmit (TD) to the HMR2300 receive (RD) data line, and the other is
from the HMR2300 TD to the PC RD data line. When a logic one is sent, either the TD or RD line will drive to about
+6 Volts referenced to ground. For a logic zero, the TD or RD line will drive to about –6 Volts below ground. Since the
signals are transmitted and dependent on an absolute voltage level, this limits the distance of transmission due to
line noise and signal to about 60 feet.
When using RS-485, the signals are balanced differential transmissions sharing the same lines (half-duplex). This
means that logic one the transmitting end will drive the B line at least 1.5 Volts higher than the A line. For a logic
zero, the transmitting end will drive the B line at least 1.5 Volts lower than the A line. Since the signals are
transmitted as difference voltage level, these signals can withstand high noise environments or over very long
distances where line loss may be a problem; up to 4000 feet. Note that long RS-485 lines should be terminated at
both ends with 120-ohm resistors.
Another precaution on RS-485 operation is that when the HMR2300 is in a continuous output mode of operation, the
host PC may have to send repeated escape and carriage return bytes to stop the stream of output data. If the host
can detect a recieved carriage return byte (0D hex), and immediately send the escape-carriage return bytes; then a
systematic stop of continuous output is likely. If manually sent, beware that the half-duplex nature of the interface
corrupt the HMR2300 outbound data while attempting to get the stop command interleaved between the data.
As noted by the Digital I/O timing specification and Figure 3, the HMR2300 has a delayed response feature based on
the programmed device ID in response to global address commands (*99….<cr>). Each HMR2300 will take its turn
responding so that units do not transmit simultaneously (no contension). These delays also apply to the RS-232
interface versions of the HMR2300.

DATA FORMATS
The HMR2300 transmits each X, Y, and Z axis as a 16-bit value. The output data format can be either 16-bit signed
binary (sign plus 15 bits) or a binary coded decimal (BCD) ASCII characters. The command *ddA will select the
ASCII format and *ddB will select the binary format.
The order of ouput for the binary format is Xhi, Xlo, Yhi, Ylo, Zhi, Zlo. The binary format is more efficient for a
computer to interpret since only 7 bytes are transmitted. The BCD ASCII format is easiest for user interpretation but
requires 28 bytes per reading. There are limitations on the output sample rate (see table below) based on the format
and baud rate selected. Examples of both binary and BCD ASCII outputs are shown below for field values between
±2 gauss.

DEVICE ID
The Device ID command (*ddID=nn) will change the HMR2300 ID number. A Write Enable (*ddWE) command is
required before the device ID can be changed. This is required for RS-485 operation when more than one HMR2300
is on a network. A Device ID = 99 is universal and will simultaneously talk to all units on a network.
BAUD RATE COMMAND
The Baud Rate command (*dd!BR=F or S) will change the HMR2300 baud rate to either fast (19,200 baud) or slow
(9600 baud). A Write Enable (*ddWE) command is required before the baud rate can be changed. The last response
after this command has been accepted will be either BAUD=9600 or BAUD=19,200. This will indicate to the user to
change to the identified new baud rate before communications can resume.
ZERO READING COMMAND
The Zero Reading command (*ddZN) will take a magnetic reading and store it in the HMR2300’s microcontroller.
This value will be subtracted from subsequent readings as an offset. The zero reading will be terminated with another
command input(*ddZF) or a power down condition. This feature is useful for setting a reference attitude or nulling the
earth’s field before anomaly detection.
SET/RESET AND AVERAGE COMMANDS
The set-reset function generates a current/magnetic field pulse to each sensor to realign the permalloy thin film
magnetization. This yields the maximum output sensitivity for magnetic sensing. This pulse is generated inside the
HMR2300 and consumes less than 1mA typically. The Set/Reset Mode command (*ddTN or *ddT) activates an
internal switching circuit that flips the current in a “Set” and “Reset” condition. This cancels out any temperature drift
effects and ensures the sensors are operating in their most sensitive region.
Fluctuations in the magnetic readings can be reduced by using the Average Readings commands (*ddVN or *ddV).
These commands provide a low pass filter effect on the output readings that reduces noise due to Set/Reset
switching and other environmental magnetic effects. The two figures below show the average readings effect for step
and impulse responses.
Switching the set-reset state is not required to sense magnetic fields. A single Set (or Reset) pulse will maximize the
output sensitivity and it will stay that way for months or years. To turn off the internal switching, enter the command
*ddTF or *ddT. In this state the sensors are either in a Set or Reset mode. If the HMR2300 is exposed to a large
magnetic field (>10 gauss), then another set pulse is required to maximize output sensitivity.
In the Set mode, the direction of the sensitive axis’ are shown on the enclosure label and the board dimensions
figure. In the Reset mode, the sensitive field directions are opposite to those shown. By typing *dd], the user can
manually activate a Set or Reset pulse. The S/R pulse commands can be used the continuous read mode to flip

between a Set and Reset state. Note that the first three readings immediately after these commands will be invalid
due to the uncertainty of the current pulse to the sensor sample time.
DEFAULT AND RESTORE COMMANDS
The Defaut Settings command (*ddD) will force the HMR2300 to all the default parameters. This will not be a
permanent change unless a Store Parameter command (*ddSP) is issued after the Write Enable command. The
Restore Settings command (*ddRST) will force the HMR2300 to all the stored parameters in the EEPROM.
OUTPUT SAMPLE RATES
The sample rate can be varied from 10 samples per second (sps) to 154 sps using the *ddR=nnn command. Each
sample contains an X, Y, and Z reading and can be outputted in either 16-bit signed binary or binary coded decimal
(BCD) ASCII. The ASCII format shows the standard numeric characters displayed on the host computer display.
Some sample rates may have restrictions on the format and baud rate used, due to transmission time constraints.
There are 7 Bytes transmitted for every reading binary format and 28 Bytes per reading in ASCII format.
Transmission times for 9600 baud are about 1 msec/Byte and for 19,200 baud are about 0.5msec/Byte. The
combinations of format and and baud rate selections are shown in the above Table. The default setting of ASCII
format and 9600 baud will only transmit correctly up to 30 sps. Note the HMR2300 will output a higher data settings,
but the readings may be incorrect and will be at alower output rate than selected.
For higher sample rates (>60 sps), it is advised that host computer settings for the terminal preferences be set so a
line feed <lf> is not appended to the sent commands. This slows down the reception of data, and it will not be able to
keep up with the incoming data stream.
INPUT SIGNAL ATTENUATION
Magnetic signals being measured will be attenuated based on the sample rate selected. The bandwidth, defined by
the 3dB point, is shown in the above Table for each sample rate. The default rate of 20 sps has a bandwidth of 17Hz.
The digital filter inside the HMR2300 is the combination of a comb filter and a low pass filter. This provides a linear
phase response with a transfer function that has zeros in it.
When the 10 or 20 sps rate is used, the zeros are at the line frequencies of 50 and 60 Hz. These zeros provide better
than 125 dB rejection. All multiples of the zeros extend throughout the transfer function. For example, the 10 and 20
sps rate has zeros at 50, 60, 100, 120, 150, 180, ... Hz. The multiples of the zeros apply to all the sample rates
against the stated notch frequencies in the above Table.
COMMAND INPUT RATE
The HMR2300 limits how fast the command bytes can be recieved based on the sample rate selected. The above
Table shows the minimum time between command bytes for the HMR2300 to correctly read them. This is usually not
a problem when the user is typing the commands from the host computer. The problem could arise from an
application program outputting command bytes too quickly.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The HMR2200 Smart Digital Magnetometer contains all the basic sensors and electronics to provide digital indication
of magnetic field strength and direction. The HMR2300 has all three axis of magnetic sensors on the far end of the
printed circuit board, away from the J1 and J2 connector interfaces. The HMR2300 uses the circuit board mounting
holes or the enclosure surfaces as the reference mechanical directions. The complete HMR2300 PCB assembly
consists of a mother board, daughter board, and the 9-pin D-connector (J1).
The HMR2300 circuit starts with Honeywell HMC2003 3-Axis Magnetic Sensor Hybrid to provide X, Y, and Z axis
magnetic sensing of the earth’s field. The HMC2003 contains the AMR sensing bridge elements, a constant current
source bridge supply, three precision instrumentation amplifiers, and factory hand-selected trim resistors optimized
for performance for magnetic field gain and offset. The HMC2003 is a daughter board that plugs into the HMC2300
motherboard, and the hybrid analog voltages from each axis is into analog multiplexors and then into three 16-bit
Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) for digitization. No calibration is necessary as the HMC2003 hybrid contains all
the compensation for the sensors, and the set/reset routine handles the temperature drift corrections. A
microcontroller integrated circuit receives the digitized magnetic field values (readings) by periodically querying the
ADCs and performs any offset corrections. This microcontroller also performs the external serial data interface and
other housekeeping functions. An onboard EEPROM integrated circuit is employed to retain necessary setup
variables for best performance.
The power supply for the HMR2300 circuit is regulated +5 volt design (LM2931M) with series polarity power inputs
diodes in case of accidental polarity reversal. A charge pump circuit is used to boost the regulated voltage for the
set/reset pulse function going to the set/reset straps onboard the HMC2003. Transient protection absorbers are
placed on the TD, RD, and V+ connections to J1.
APPLICATIONS PRECAUTIONS
Several precautions should be observed when using magnetometers in general:
The presence of ferrous materials, such as nickel, iron, steel, and cobalt near the magnetometer will create
disturbances in the earth’s magnetic field that will distort the X, Y, and Z field measurements.
The presence of the earth’s magnetic field must be taken into account when measuring other magnetic
fields.
The variance of the earth’s magnetic field must be accounted for in different parts of the world. Differences in
the earth’s field are quite dramatic between North America, South America and the Equator region.
Perming effects on the HMR2300 circuit board need to be taken into account. If the HMR2300 is exposed to
fields greater than 10 gauss, then it is recommended that the enclosure/circuit boards be degaussed for
highest sensitivity and resolution. A possible result of perming is a high zero-field output indication that
exceeds specification limits. Degaussing wands are readily available from local electronics tool suppliers and
are inexpensive. Severe field offset values could result if not degaussed.
NON-FERROUS MATERIALS
Materials that do not affect surrounding magnetic fields are: copper, brass, gold, aluminum, some stainless steels,
silver, tin, silicon, and most non-metals.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
The HMR2300 Smart Digital Magnetometer measures fields within 2 gauss in magnitude with better than 0.1 milli-
gauss resolution. Computer floppy disks (diskettes) store data with field strengths of approximately 10 gauss. This
means that the HMR2300 is many times more sensitive than common floppy disks. Please treat the magnetometer
with at least the same caution as your diskettes by avoiding motors, CRT video monitors, and magnets. Even though
the loss of performance is recoverable, these magnetic sources will interfere with measurements.
