Fundamentals The IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ SensorSMART Platform is the latest development in asset management, localization and process optimization. Developed to deliver the last mile in industrial communication, the SensorSMART Platform fulfills a niche not previously addressed by available networks. The SensorSMART Platform takes the complexity out of managing assets, personnel safety monitoring and/or the tracking of valuable cargo and the need for multiple technologies. The unique combination of active RFID, RTLS and WSN in one platform eliminates the necessity for complex deployments of multiple technologies, or the need to compromise with one technology’s specific functionalities. The pinnacle of the SensorSMART Platform is that it captures the best of RFID, WSN, and RTLS while also avoiding the less desirable features of each technology. Third party application development is also simplified for added flexibility. 2.2. Component Overview VISIBILITY DELIVERED. PAGE 9 OF 28 i-Q350-RTLS-AS & i-Q350-RTLS-AH USER MANUAL 2.3. System Components – Transponders i-Q350 Transponders IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ Real Time Locating System (RTLS) allows long-range localization in both indoor and out- door environments. Highly robust and value driven, the SensorSMART RTLS is designed to offer maximum reliability and functionally. Highly accurate, the RTLS enables real-time data collection and visibility with minimal human intervention. IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ RTLS is well suited for a variety of wireless applications including: • Identification • Tracking • Localization of high value assets and personnel. The high speed localization delivers instant identification as well as the precise location of assets or personnel within a 1m (3ft) radius. Easy to integrate, the RTLS system has a rugged design that delivers outstanding performance even in the most challenging industrial environments. The i-Q350L RTLS in conjunction with the i-SAT 300 RTLS reference generator allows communication even with rapidly-moving Transponders. Polarization of Transponders Vertically Polarized Horizontally Polarized Polarization is dependent on orientation and is rotation symmetrical. VISIBILITY DELIVERED.

System Components – Readers i-Port-M350-2 The i-PORT M350-2 is a reader for the i-Q350 and i-B350 series of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’s Response and Broadcast Transponders. Built into a compact housing, the i-PORT M350-2 reads and writes data to the transponders at distances of up to 500 meters (1640 feet) on two antennas. Connection to the host system is established via a RS422 interface, resulting in the capability to connect up to 8 readers in a Daisy Chain using commercially available CAT 5 cables and connectors. A simple master/slave protocol enables data exchange. Not only does the protocol contain the data received from the transponder, but it can also provide information about the time of data reception, field strength and information about the number of times the transponder has been received by the reader. i-Port-BT-USB The battery powered mobile reader with Bluetooth and USB interface communicates with a wide spectrum of handheld devices and tablet computers. It is ideally suited for mobile applications such as laydown yards and personnel safety. With its integrated Bluetooth interface, the mobile reader can communicate with a wide range of mobile devices independent of platform or operating system. The compact and robust housing with internal antenna is designed to be mounted onto a handheld device or a tablet computer. The small form factor also allows users to carry the reader in a pocket.

CONFIGURATION OF THE TRANSPONDER 4.1. General The i-Q350-RTLS-AS/AH is not configured directly. It is configured wirelessly using an ILR GEN3 compatible device, e.g. an i-PORT M350 or i-Port-USB-BT Things to be configured • Beacon ping rate (It is recommended to set it at more than 20 seconds. In case there are more than 500 Transponders in the antenna field it is recommended to set it at more than 60 seconds) • Monitoring data: - Monitoring interval (15 min to 2 hours, in steps of 1 minute) - Data to be monitored Important Note Do not open the housing! Configuration is done wirelessly. The Response mode of the i-Q350-RTLS-AS/AH offers the following features for configuration: • Broadcast mode can be configured for simultaneous operation. In this case the Transponder responds to commands from a reader as well as broadcasting configurable data at a regular interval. • Marker technology for locating the Transponder in an inductive loop and measuring travel time between gates. • Bursts triggered by a marker field can be configured independent of regular broadcast pings. • Bursts triggered by the push button can be configured independent of regular broadcast pings. Tools Needed • PC running Microsoft Windows, with SensorSMART Tools installed • Connection to an i-PORT-M350 or i-Port-BT-USB, to communicate with the Transponders VISIBILITY DELIVERED.

Ping Rate Note: These settings can be found in the ILR Tag Configuration software tool in the section “Broadcast” • Active: Activates or de-activates the broadcast function that regularly sends out messages. • Broadcast Interval: 0 = no broadcast messages are sent, value > 0 = Broadcast interval in seconds. This can be set in steps of 0.5 sec, from 0.5 sec up to 300 sec. • Broadcast Message Options: The options in this field depend on the capabilities of the Transponder. The subchapter “Limitations of the User Data Field” lists the possible options of this Transponder type. • User Data Length: Configure the number of Bytes from the “User Data” that is sent with a broadcast message. The number starts from Byte 0 (zero). The limits of the User Data length are described at the end of this chapter. 4.3. Bursts when passing a Position Marker Note: These settings can be found in the ILR Tag Configuration software tool in the section “Marker” • Number of Bursts (New Loop): 0 = no bursts, max. 15 bursts • Time between Bursts (Marker): This sets a timeslot inside which the Transponder sends out a single burst. This gives a random delay between every single burst message to avoid collisions with Transponders that are triggered by the same source to burst. Possible settings are 40, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 ms. Pls. read the details in the following subchapter “Information on Burst Settings”. • Marker Message Options: Entering a marker field triggers a burst. This parameter determines the contents of the burst messages. 4.4. Bursts triggered by the Push Button Note: These settings can be found in the ILR Tag Configuration software tool in the section “Push Button” • Number of Bursts (Push Button): 0 = no bursts, max. 15 bursts • Time between Bursts (Push Button): This sets a timeslot within the Transponder sends a single burst. This gives a random delay between every single burst message to avoid collisions with Transponders that are triggered by the same source to burst. Possible settings are 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 ms. Please read the details in the following subchapter “Information on Burst Settings”. • Push Button Message Options: Pushing the button triggers a burst. This parameter determines the contents of the burst messages. VISIBILITY DELIVERED. PAGE 16 OF 28 i-Q350-RTLS-AS & i-Q350-RTLS-AH USER MANUAL 4.5. Limitations of the User Data Field The total length of the broadcast message (burst or ping) is limited to 50 Bytes. Depending on the broadcast message options, these are the allowed number of bytes for the user data: Message Type User Data only Marker | User Data Push Button | User Data Push Button | User Data | Marker Length of User Data max. 50 Bytes max. 38 Bytes max. 43 Bytes max. 32 Bytes 4.6. RTLS Settings Note: These settings can be found in the ILR Tag Configuration software tool in the edit block “RTLS” The RTLS Transponder allows precise location calculation by ranging to up 15 reference nodes (i-SAT 300, i-PORT M 350 RTLS) at the same time. By default, this is done at an interval set by the parameter “Ranging Interval”. In addition, the RTLS Transponders contain a motion sensor with a software filter (see next subchapter) that switches between standard and alternate ranging intervals. This is set with the parameters “Ranging Behavior”, “Ranging Interval” and “Alternate Ranging Interval”. Ranging describes the process used to measure the distance between a Transponder and a reader through the exchange of a specific set of messages. A ranging can be initiated based on time (interval) or event (motion or application request)”. Adjustable parameters in the section “RTLS” are: • 2.4 GHz Output Power: This is the Tx power for the RTLS ranging. Increasing the output power will greatly impact the communication range, but also have a massive impact on the power consumption. The following table shows the power consumption during a transmission depending of the output power. Output power in dBm Power consumption increase compared to 0 dBm 10 0% 9% Estimated range* 40 m 170 m * Estimated range in outdoor operation and in line of sight • Ranging Behavior: The ranging process consists of multiple bidirectional communications, in order to calculate the distance between the Transponder and the reader. i-Q350-RTLS Transponders are able to identify if they are in VISIBILITY DELIVERED. PAGE 17 OF 28 i-Q350-RTLS-AS & i-Q350-RTLS-AH USER MANUAL motion or stand still. In the case of movement, the Transponder will switch to the “in motion” behavior and use the alternate ranging interval. Two behaviors are available and described hereafter. Continuous ranging behavior: While in motion, the i-Q350-RTLS Transponder will perform ranging using the interval specified in “alternate ranging interval”. After the Transponder detects that it has stopped moving, it will perform ranging using the standard ranging interval. RTLS Event Bursts Ranging The following figure represents the behavior of the Transponder over time. The ranging is in orange, while the bursts on RTLS event are in blue. This example shows 3 UHF bursts. Ranging interval Alternate ranging interval Ranging interval Tag is in motion Tag stands still Tag stands still In this mode, the Transponder will broadcast distances measured after the ranging is done. As soon as the Transponder considers it has stopped moving, it resumes its standard behavior. On Stop ranging behavior: The i-Q350-RTLS Transponder will keep its standard ranging interval while moving. As soon as the iQ350 RTLS detects that it has stopped moving, it will perform 6 measurements with the interval specified in the “alternate ranging interval”. RTLS Event Bursts Ranging The following figure represents the behavior of the Transponder over time. The ranging is in orange, while the bursts on RTLS event are in blue. This example shows 3 UHF bursts. Ranging interval Tag stands still VISIBILITY DELIVERED. Tag is in motion Alternate ranging interval Ranging interval Tag stands still PAGE 18 OF 28 i-Q350-RTLS-AS & i-Q350-RTLS-AH USER MANUAL In this mode, the Transponder will broadcast its distance measured, only after the 6 ranging intervals are done. In order to save the amount of data transmitted, the Transponder will send only the smallest distance measured with each reader or i-SAT. As soon as the Transponder considers it has stopped moving, it resumes its standard behavior. • Ranging Interval: This sets the standard ranging interval, which the Transponder performs constantly. This can be set in steps of seconds from 1 second up to 4 hours 39 minutes. The default value is 5 minutes. • Alternate Ranging Interval: This sets the faster ranging interval, triggered by the motion sensor. This can be set in steps of seconds from 1 second up to 4 hours 39 minutes. The default value is 10 seconds. Classic Use Cases Case Localization on fix interval only Localization on fix interval and different interval when moving Localization on fix interval and fast positioning when stopping Localization only when moving Localization only when stopping Do not perform localization Ranging interval Alternate ranging interval In motion behavior Application dependent 0 (on stop) Application dependent Application dependent 1 (continuous) Application dependent Application dependent 0 (on stop) Application dependent Application dependent 1 (continuous) 0 (on stop) 0 (on stop) 4.7. Motion Sensor Settings Note: These settings can be found in the ILR Tag Configuration software tool in the edit block “Motion Sensor” • Stop Movement Counter: Maximum value of the motion counter. If this value is reached, the counter stops increasing. Range: 0 to 65534 (default: 150) • Movement On: Threshold at which the Transponder is considered to be in motion. Typically, this is the upper value. Range: 0 to 65534 (default: 100) • Movement Off: Threshold at which the Transponder is considered to remain in its place. Typically, this is the lower value. Range: 0 to 65534 (default: 40) VISIBILITY DELIVERED. PAGE 19 OF 28 i-Q350-RTLS-AS & i-Q350-RTLS-AH USER MANUAL • Increment by: Rate of increase of the movement counter. Range: 1 to 254 (default: 1) • Decrement by: Rate of decrease of the movement counter. Range: 1 to 254 (default: 1) The Transponder contains a motion sensor that is interrogated every 100 ms. If motion is detected, the movement counter is increased. If no motion is detected the movement counter is decreased. If the value of the movement counter reaches the threshold value “Movement On”, the Transponder can switch its ranging status from “On Stop” to “Default” or vice versa according to the setting “Ranging Behavior”. If the value of the movement counter drops below the threshold value “Movement Off” the ranging behavior is switched again.

Information on Burst Settings for the Marker The parameter “Time between Bursts (Marker)” is not simply a delay time. It is in fact a timeslot. In this timeslot, the Transponder chooses a random moment to do a single burst. This avoids that burst collisions with other Transponders, that are simultaneously triggered by the same marker loop. These timeslots are repeated until all bursts are sent. In the event that dozens of Transponders are triggered to burst at once, this value can be increased. The result of increasing the slot width is there will be a longer time interval between other bursts being sent. For example, with an increased value of 700 ms and 8 bursts, the amount of time for all bursts is 5.6 seconds. Example This example shows 3 Transponders (A, B, C) that are simultaneously triggered by a marker loop (LF marker) and are configured to burst 3 times. The timeslot (Time between Bursts) is set to the default value of 40 ms. The last row shows how the random use of the timeslot avoids collision between the Transponders. VISIBILITY DELIVERED.

There are potentially four main problem sources: • The user control system, including task requirements, communication cables, peripheral units with possible object recognition switches. • The SensorSMART platform, including peripheral units and their cables, also potential object recognition switches. • The environment, including large objects between antenna and Transponder electrical disturbance sources, intervention by persons, etc. • The quality of the technical design, including alignment between antenna, data, ratio of task requirements/available communication time etc. The information about system performance is contained in the relevant datasheets. When planning the total system, do not overlook the problem sources and “Fault finding procedures on system level” should be included in the host system. How this could look in detail depends on the relevant system concept and very likely varies from one system to another. VISIBILITY DELIVERED.

However, in the event maintenance is required, only trained and authorized personnel are permitted to perform the updates, make changes and perform any necessary maintenance. 6.2. Regular cleaning of the Housing Surface Remove dust with a brush or compressed air. If there are fatty or oily substances, use a soft cloth moistened with a mild rinsing agent. Warning Do not clean the Transponder in a dishwasher. Do not sandblast the Transponder. Do not use a high pressure water jet or steam cleaner. Do not use cleaning products containing chemical additives. 6.3. Precautionary Maintenance A regular check of the system is recommended. Unstable connections could lead to damage and malfunctions of the system and would therefore need to be repaired as soon as possible. A Brief Checklist • Are all housings intact? • Are all cables intact? • Are all connectors intact? • Are all connectors securely fastened? • Are all screws still tight? • Is there a malfunction in a specific unit? 6.4.
