SaviReaders perform tag collections and exchange dam with tags as part of the Savi System. t Savi System The Savi System uses stateoof-the-an wireless technology to monitor, track, and locate assets in complex commercial, industrial and nfilltary environments. The system comprises tags (also called transponders), interrogators (also called readers), RP links, and a computer with RFID management software installed. Tags can store, transmit, and receive data and commands from interrogators, or can initiate cornmrmicau'on when triggered by sensors. SaviTags and SaviReaclers communicate through Savi's proprietary radio cornmrmicatiors protocol called Enhanced Batch Collectioni0 To gather asset information, collection commands are either relayed to tags from the computer, through fixed interrogators or gate interrogators, or issued directly by the operator from hand-held readers. Please see Appendix A, 'Savi System Description," for a more complete description of the system and its components.

A portable tripod mount, a solar power unit, or a cable for powering the reader from a vehicle are all available for use with the SaviRenderr The SaviRender 410K Opel-am at 433.92 MHz. The reader communicate! with both active and passive systems, accepts tag-initiated communications, and supports tag database files, group collections, and mg security functions. Network Communications The SaviReader 410k supports three types of network proto- @' cols: Saleet (EMS), Echelon’s Lat-Works network, and 115-22. The SaviReader is tompatflale with SaviNet installations using the 75485 protocol, and can beused in a mixed config- uration which includes older Savi Fixed lnterrogator 2.0 models. Using the lonWorks network, the SaviReader 410K supports active or passive communication with various Rl-TD devices. The LonWorks network is a robust network protocol designed for outdoor use. LonWorks is the preferred network since unlike SaviNet, it does not require a linear ”bus” con- figuration of readers. It supports a "free topology" that allows for better RF coverage using less cable and with fewer configuratinn restrictions. (For more information about net- work configurations and restrictions using these protocols, please refer to the Suvi System Installation Guide.) 1.3 Inmlnllu Jr} @ é} g "@ annux Pm; Wainuday, Aug-“1120. 1991 4:26!!! _@ OW Sci/Ruhr lam/pom I )) ) The SaviReadex 41011 is also backwards compatible with the older RS—232 protocol used lo connect a computer to a single reader. One of the new features of the SaviReader is its expanded 125—732 support for communications via RF or cel- lular modems Tag Communicalinns The SaviReader 410k supports new security features for the SaviTag 410, tends tag database files, and supports communi- cations iniliamd by figs.

First, a site plan should be consulted to determine the reader’s location. Second, the reader must be positioned to Enable the most effi- cient communication range. Third, power and network cables must be connected, and power must be supplied. Finally, commucation between the SaviReader and the computer must be verified Site Planning Please refer to the Sam“ System Installation Guide for complete instructions on conducting a site survey and planning your RFID network configuration Once the site plan is in place, refer to it to determine the site locations for installing a SaviReader in the Savi System, Follow this manual to ensure the proper installation of each SaviReader. Positioning ihe SaviReader SaviReaders are designed to operate in a wide variety of environments. They are housed in rugged, weather-proof enclosures. In ideal cmditions, (large, open, and unob- strucned areas) SaviReaders an collect tags 600 feet away.

The cable with converter is provided with Savi software (such as Savi Asset Manager or Rea-lever) since only one computer-con- nector cable is required per network. It is also available separately (Savi part number EGO-00911001). A single SaviRmder can be connected to the R_S-232 serial port on thecomputer using the RS-232 connector (D89 connector, shown in Figure 2-3) on the SaviReader and a customerhsupplied cable. Depending on the computer’s port configuration, a DBQF-to-DB9F or DB9F-to-DBZ5M adapm might be required. The SayiReader is configured as a DCE device according to the its-732 specification. The 125-232 configuration can only be used with Savi Tools, or a radio modem con- nectlon. If the distancebetween the devics is greater than 100 feet, addiu‘oml data cable. are available (Savi part number 83000169400).

(IonWorks network does not require repeaters.) Due to siylal degradation lirrutafions when using SaviNet, large network installations (more than 30 SaviReaders in serial connection or more than 3000 feet of signal cable in the network) require that every 30th SaviReader (or more often if required) be configured as a repeater.

However, in the event that a problem with A Sav‘iReader occufl, this chapter should help you fix it. Repair and Maintenance SaviReaders are designed to be maintemncefree. They are manufactured with the highest-quality components and are ;@ thoroughly tested before delivery. The SaviReader is equipped with primary power fuses for circuit protection. Two AC power fuses are mounted on the back panel of the reader. The DC power fuse is mounted as shown in Figure 2-2, ”Fuse holder, power and network con- nector pom," on page 24. A spare DC fuse is stored inside the access door in a fuse holder, shown in Figure 3~1. By removing the up covering lhe DC power fuse, you can use the spare fuse to replace the original. This fuse is a 5-amp, 17.5-volt, miniature, mlime-delay fuse, Savi part number 670006241003 (BUSSMAN type GMW-5 or equivalmt).

Asset Manager stores col- lected data in its local, relational database. It exports the data to your main SQL database or file system, either on demand or on a convenient schedule. It uses visual maps to help you control which physlml areas are to be collected. You can col- lect information from any area on a regular schedule of your choice. Asset Manager also includes a graphical user inter- face (GUI) to simplify your control tasks; you can close the GUI and still leave the Asset Manager able to run scheduled events Asset Manager communicam with a variety of active and passive tags and readers via modem, SaviNet or Lon- Works networks. Savi Retriever automates the collection and forwarding of asset data. It uses a network of Savi interrogators to retrieve data from tags. It then forwards the collected information through a modem, Ioul area network, or satellite transceiver to a central Information system, thus allowing assets to be monitored and traded at multiple sites. Once configured, all system functions are automated for unattended operation. The Savi Tools program lets you diagnose, troubleshoot, and test Savi hardware capability. Savi Tools offers low-level con- uol of Savi Systemhardmle componmts in an easy-ho-use graphical user interface With Savi'l'ools you can manage and fine-tune devices, collect data, define settings, and perform detailed system and network troubleshooting. Savi Tools Pro has all the feature- of Savi Tools plus advanced commands to configure the Savi network and interrogator setting. It also lets you display any tag’s stan- dard or attended memory.
