An installation description is delivered separately to this document. This antenna is not approved to be in compliance with part 15 of FCC rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Usage of these antennas may void the FCC/ IC authorization to operate this equipment. Further information is found in the Appendix. 1.1 Safety Instructions LPR®-B systems are purely tracking and assistance systems. They therefore do not satisfy the safety class 3 requirements and must not be used as standalone systems in safety-critical applications, such as automation or anti-collision. Follow the safety instructions in the operating instructions for the device and the additional documentation! Keep these safety instructions and other documents together with the device. 1.2 Installation All installation, repair and servicing work must be carried out by qualified and trained technicians! 1.3 Repairs Repairs to the device must be carried out by authorized technicians. Unauthorized opening and incorrect repairs could result in severe danger to the user (danger of electric shock, radiated energy, fire hazard).
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation Overview Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 9 of 87 1.4 Transport and Storage Use the original packaging or other suitable packaging for returns and whenever the system is to be transported. This ensures protection from crushing, impacts, moisture and electrostatic discharge. During setup and before operation, refer to the instructions for environmental conditions included in the operating instructions for the device. Route the wires in such a way that they do not cause a hazard and are not damaged. When connecting the wires, refer to the corresponding instructions in the operating instructions for the device. Do not drop the device and do not expose it to strong vibrations. 1.5 Power Supply A safety-inspected power cable that satisfies the regulations of the country of use is required for the device. Devices with metal housings must only be connected to a grounded, shock proof socket. The device must not be operated unless the nominal voltage of the device matches the local supply voltage. Check the supply voltage of the device in stationary devices. Connecting and disconnecting wires refer to the instructions in the operating instructions for the device. Do not use any damaged wires (damaged insulation, exposed wires). A faulty wire poses a risk of electric shock or fire hazard. 1.6 Setup and Operation During installation, make sure that no objects or fluids get inside the device (risk of electric shock, short circuit). In emergencies (e. g. if there is damage to the housing, control elements or the mains cable, if fluids or foreign bodies have infiltrated the equipment), switch off the power supply to the device immediately and notify your SYMEO Service. Protect the contacts of all of the device's sockets and plugs from static electricity. Do not touch the contacts. If it is ever necessary to touch the contacts, take the following precautionary measures: Touch a grounded object or carry a ground strap before touching the contacts. This will divert static charges. Proper operation (in accordance with IEC60950/EN60950) of the device is only assured if the housing and integral covers for mounting slots are fully installed (electric shock, cooling, fire protection, noise suppression). If necessary, refer to the corresponding instructions in the operating instructions for the device.

In order to install the Integral type LPR® station, the hood must be detached from the serviceable components. Refer also to the instructions on installing the transponder. Please take note of the safety and operating instructions in the operating instructions for the system in which you want to install the component.
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation System Description Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 11 of 87 2 System Description 2.1 System architecture SYMEO Industrial LPR® is a system for contactless, real-time determination of distances and positions. LPR® 1D is a distance measurement system which is particularly well suited for use in very harsh, industrial environments, in which other systems such as mechanical rotary encoders or lasers cannot function for long periods. All devices have a unique identifier, via which they are actuated. In order to measure the signal transit time and thus also a corresponding distance, the two devices involved are time-synchronized (with accuracy in the picoseconds range). LPR® units use the same frequency band and the same hardware for communicating as for measuring distance. This means that no external WLAN or cable networks are needed for transmitting measurement values and other reference data. 2.2 Technical Data Overview: Technical Data Frequency range 5.725-5.875 GHz Transmitted power *1 Max. 0.008 W / 9 dBm output on the antenna port Output power is adjustable For overall output power antenna gain and cable attenuation must be added, see chapter 6 for details. Range *2 Max. 1800 m Measurement accuracy *2 Max. ± 5 cm Measurement frequency *3 Max. 30 Hz Power supply 10-36 V DC Ambient temperature *4 -40°C to +70°C *1 Transmitted power/ field strength can be adjusted to assure that emission limits at the antenna are within legal limits, e.g. 25 mW EIRP in the EU and 50 mV/m at a distance of 3 m in the US and Canada. For FCC /IC authorization the maximum field strength is limited by firmware. *2 Depending on the antenna type, mounting position and environment *3 For FCC/IC authorization a maximum measurement frequency of 10 Hz is allowed. *4 Temperature inside the housing can range from -40°C to 85°C.
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation System Description Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 12 of 87 2.3 System Configuration The LPR® 1D system consists of two, three, four or five LPR® units. Each of these units can be configured either as a transponder or as a base station. A system consists of exactly one LPR® unit configured as a transponder and between one and four LPR® units configured as base stations. For pure 1D distance measurement two units are required and are arranged as shown in Figure 3. The distance information is available at both stations.

These are fed in on the serial port of a unit and output in corresponding manner on the other side. Each unit consists of a basic unit, corresponding antenna cable, antenna, as well as power supply and ports. Further options for arranging LPR® units are described in the section 2.6 "Application Examples". 2.4 System Design Each LPR® 1D station has parameters to provide an explicit allocation to a system and also to ensure the functionality of a system. These parameters are explained in the following: 2.4.1 Station-ID (SID) Each station has an explicit Identification Number in one system. If using more than one LPR® 1D systems in your environment same station numbers could be used. BUT: In one system all station numbers are different. A system consists at least of 2 stations, at most of 5 stations. The first station has the station number 1 (SID 1), die second station has the station number 2 (SID 2), etc. Station 1 (SID 1) is the LPR® Transponder, also known as the coordinator of the system. Stations 2  5 (SID 2-5) are LPR® Base Stations. A transponder (SID 1) can only measure with a base station (SID 2  SID 5) and vice versa, but NEVER with another transponder or a base station with another base station. But the transponder (coordinator) can measure with up to 4 base stations. Keep in mind:
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation System Description Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 13 of 87 Station 1 Transponder Station 2 Base Station Station 3 Base Station Station 4 Base Station Station 5 Base Station The hardware of a transponder and base station looks like the same. The only difference is the configuration software. The transponder organizes the measurements. It allocates time slots to the base stations to identify when these stations are allowed to start with a measurement. 2.4.2 Group-ID (GID) A system is identified clearly by its group number. All stations in one system have the same group number. If there is used a second, a third or more systems in your environment, all additional systems must have then a different group number (see Figure 5). 2.4.3 FSK Channel (FSK) The measurement of the round trip of flight (RTOF) happens in a frequency band width of 5,725 to 5,875 GHz. In this band width the LPR® system gets a frequency channel. 18 frequency channels are available. All stations in one LPR® systems have the same frequency channel. If there are more LPR® systems in your environment each further LPR® system has another frequency channel (see Figure 5). If you commission the system with the LPR® commissioning tool LPR® 1D Wizard you cannot choose the frequency channel. The frequency channel is linked to a group ID. Therefore it is really important to use different group IDs for different LPR® systems.

For this, the transponder unit first sends a communication packet to the base station that is to carry out the measurement. The station that is addressed in this way sends a response sequence and a special, wideband response signal which is ideal for making distance measurements. The transponder synchronizes itself with this signal and after a precisely known time replies in highly synchronized manner with exactly the same signal. The base station receives this signal and uses the signal transit time to determine its distance from the transponder. The distance can be output after the measurement by any of the units participating. As an option, if the distance falls below a given value, a switch (dry contact) can be actuated to trigger a warning signal, for example.
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation System Description Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 15 of 87 Besides distance measurement, the system's communication can be used for transmitting user data in the intervals between measurements. Transmission is asynchronous, i.e. the data is requested and transmitted when the measurement has been completed. To transmit data over the system, first a send data request is sent by the LPR® unit to the user. Then the user data is received and transmitted to the second LPR® station. The data channel has a channel capacity of 8byte/measurement cycle. This means, the overall capacity depends on the chosen measurement frequency. I.e. if a measurement frequency of 10Hz is chosen, the capacity is 80 byte/s 2.6 Application Examples Figure 3 in shows the simplest arrangement of LPR® units (LPR® 1DX). This is used for measuring the distance between two LPR® units. The abbreviation means distance measurement without positioning. Some more complex arrangements are illustrated in the following text. 2.6.1 Redundant arrangement (2xLPR-1DX) For reasons of operational safety, it may be necessary to combine two systems in a redundant arrangement. Figure 4 shows two base stations and two transponders installed in a redundant arrangement on two crane bridges. Each base station communicates with the opposite transponder. Both systems measure independently from each other. After the measurement, the distance from the respective partner can be output at each of the participating stations. Optionally, a switching contact may also be actuated depending on the distance, e.g., to trigger a warning signal for example if the crane bridges come too close to one another and there is a danger that they may collide. If more than one LPR® system is used, each system has its own group ID and its own frequency channel. So both systems do not disturb each other. 2 x LPR 1DX(Plan View)Crane Bridge 1Crane Bridge 2AntennaRadio PathLPR Base Station(Station 2)LPR Transponder(Station 1) Figure 6: LPR® 1DX Redundant arrangement
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation System Description Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 16 of 87 2.6.2 Positioning of Crane Crab (LPR® 1DP2) In order to determine positions in two dimensions (x-y coordinates), three LPR® units can be arranged in an L-shape (see Figure 7). In this case, the unit that is configured as the transponder (station 1) is equipped with 2 antennas. This unit measures against the first base station (station 2) with the first antenna, and against the second base station (station 3) with the other antenna, for example. In this way, the position of a crane crab can be determined, for example.

In the arrangement shown in Figure 8, the transponder unit (station 1) is equipped with two antennas. One base station (station 2 and station 3) is installed on each of the two cranes. The two antennas are secured to the wall at the same height as the respective base stations installed on the cranes. In this way, the distance of both cranes from the wall can be calculated. By comparing these two distances, a warning may be outpu WallKran 1Crane 2Antenna 1Antenna 2Crane 1Side View Crane 2 Crane 1LPR 1DP SystemLPR Base StationLPR TransponderRadio Path 1Radio Path 2 Figure 8: LPR® 1DP Y-shaped arrangement

SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation Installation Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 31 of 87 4 Installation 4.1 Installation of LPR® Station Design Compact Station 4.1.1 Important Instructions for Installation During Installation, the Compact Station has to be opened. Therefore it is important to avoid ingress of moisture, dust or any particles into the housing during the installation process. Make sure that there is enough room for the connectors, and particularly that the antenna cable is accessible; pay attention to the permitted bending radius (center of radius to cable core) for standard cables of 10,5cm (for multiple bending under mechanical load) and 4cm (unloaded and static bending). The Compact Station should preferably be installed so that the connecting sockets point downwards. In this way, the connections are protected from rain and dust. 4.1.2 Installation To install the Compact Station, you require 4 round head M6 x 30 screws (at least).  Check the position of the station on the device on which the Compact Station is to be installed (e.g. a crane bridge). Bear in mind the installation instructions listed above.  Drill holes in the device on which the Compact Station is to be installed. Drill-hole distances: 11 cm wide, 24 cm high (see figure 7).  Open the Compact Station: With a Phillips screwdriver (Size 0), loosen the top four screws of the Compact Station lid.  Screw the Compact Station tightly to the device. The installation holes shown in figure 2 are provided for this purpose. Check that the station is mounted securely.  Close the station: Place the cover of the Compact Station on top and fasten the cover with the four screws. Make sure that the cover is securely attached to the housing.  Commission the Compact Station (see chapter "Base Station Initialization") 4.2 Installation of LPR® Antennas4.2.1 Connecting and Wiring up the Antenna and Cable Connect the antennas to the antenna port at the LPR® station. When using several antennas, ensure that they are connected to the correct ports.

The minimum bending radius must always be maintained. With the standard antenna cables delivered, the minimum bending radius (center of radius to cable core) for standard cables is 10,5cm (for multiple bending under mechanical load) and 4cm (unloaded and static bending). The cable must not be attached in a way that alters its cross-section. On demand, cables with different flexibility characteristics are available.  The antenna plug must not be removed (e.g. for installation purposes) or repaired because the specified electrical properties can only be achieved with mechanical installation assistance.  When installing the antenna cable, ensure that the screw connection is seated properly. The antenna cable plugs should be finger-tightened before tightening with an appropriate tool to no more than 1.3 Nm tightening torque. 4.2.2 Installing the Antenna(s) The line of sight between the antennas on each unit must not be obstructed. Therefore, when installing the antenna fixture, ensure that no components are blocking the line of sight between the antennas. If necessary, contact the SYMEO technical department. Depending on the antenna type used, offsetting the corresponding antennas (either vertically or horizontally) may degrade the signal strength to the point that communication is lost. Accordingly, corresponding antenna pairs should be installed with as little offset with respect to each other as possible, and preferably none. If necessary, contact the SYMEO technical department. If you change the position of one antenna, this will affect the measurement data that is output.
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation Installation Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 33 of 87 For installation of the Planar Antennas, it is important to keep the same orientation of polarization for corresponding antennas (see Figure 17). Figure 17: Backside of 23 dBi Planar Antenna  Install the antenna fixture according to the accompanying operating instructions.  Secure the antenna in the fixture.  Connect the antenna to the antenna cable. 4.2.3 Fresnel zone The area for radio transmission between two antennas is called Fresnel zone. The main part of energy is concentrated in the first Fresnel zone. This area has to be free of any obstacles otherwise the signal is interrupted or attenuated. The first Fresnel zone can be calculated as follows: is the wave length and the distance between the two antennas. For a frequency of 5.8 GHz a wave length of approx. 0.05 m is calculated. The maximum radius between the two antennas is indicated with . For different distances the maximum radius is given in Figure 18. distance d radius b 10 m 0.36 m 50 m 0.80 m 100 m 1.14 m 250 m 1. 80 m 500 m 2.54 m 1000 m 3.60 m dbAntenna 1 Antenna 2Fresnel zone
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation Commissioning Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 34 of 87 Figure 18 Calculation and figure of Fresnel zone 4.2.4 Installation of Planar Antennas Each antenna type has its own opening angle. To communicate with the opposite antenna the relative antennas has to be located in the opening angles of the opposite antennas. Antennas have to be mounted without any offset (no difference in height and no offset sideways). Make sure that the opening angle is symmetric to the relative direction of motion (compare picture 1 vs. picture 2 in Figure 19). If an offset is not inevitable the antennas have to be tilted (compare picture 3 vs. picture 4 in Figure 19). Notice: If the distance goes below a fixed distance it is possible that no measurements take place any longer.

SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation Commissioning Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 35 of 87  Data link has been established serially or via TCP/IP. Once these prerequisites have been fulfilled you can connect the station either serially to a PC or as an option (TCP/IP option) to the network and commission the LPR® 1D system. How to do this is explained in the following chapter. 5.1.1 General Commissioning is carried out via the serial port or the TCP/IP port depending on the LPR® station model you have.  Each LPR® unit is equipped with the following interfaces:  An RS232 port for data transmission to downstream systems (PC, S7),  A second RS232 port for parameterization and software updates  Optionally, a TCP/IP port for data transmission and parameterization.  The radio interface at 5.8 GHz for data transmission, communication and measuring with other LPR® units, The two RS232 ports are incorporated in the Lumberg plug, the radio interface functions via the system antenna.

Also if you have several stations in one system (crane bridge, crane crab, wall) you get the binary data at each LPR® station in this system. 5.2 Connection to LPR® Station with TCP/IP Interface With delivery the LPR® stations have the fixed IP-Address 192.168.1.99, if no other IP-Address is labeled outside the LPR® station. You can change the IP-Address of the LPR® Station via the web interface of the LPR® Station. To get a connection between your PC and the LPR® station it is maybe neccessary to change the network parameters of your computer. Both units must be located in the same network. That means in this example that the first three numeric pads of both IP-addresses must be the same. Disconnect your PC from the network. Connect the LPR® station and the computer with a network cable. Open your network settings of your computer. Figure 21 – Network Settings Enter the following fixed IP-Address i.e. 192.168.1.1. The subnet mask should be set to 255.255.255.0. Click in both windows OK.

The binary protocol XP protocol provides information in high density. Its structure ensures a simple implementation. The transfer is done in single data frames. The interface for the binary protocol XP can either be a serial (RS232) interface or a TCP/IP or UDP interface. The baudrate of the serial interface must be set to 115200 baud. 7.1.1 Direction of Data The interface can be applied bidirectional. However certain data types are defined for one direction. Furthermore it is only allowed to send data to a LPR®-B station after the LPR®-B station has sent a send request (type 0x02). Table 1 shows an overview which data packets can be applied in which direction. Data Type direction from LPR®-B to LPR®-B 0x00 Distance Data + 0x01 User Data + + 0x02 Send Request + 0x03 Relay Switching Command + Tab. 1: direction of data Sending data to the LPR®-B station is only possible after receiving a send request (Type 0x02-to-LPR®-B station. The LPR®-B can only handle one data packet from one user. If nevertheless data is sent to the LPR®-B station without a previous send request, it can result in a reboot of the LPR®-B station. Per one send request the user can send only one data set to the LPR®-B station. 7.1.2 Structure of Data Packet To apply the protocol on a RS232 interface each data packet starts and ends with a reserved symbol. This reserved symbol cannot appear in the data stream. Figure 1 shows the general structure of the data packet. TYPE DATASTART0x7e1 byte 1 byte 1 byteCRC2 byteEND0x7f Figure 1: Structure of data the packet The START and the STOP-field is in each data packet the reserved symbol 0x7e and 0x7f. TYPE indicates the type of the data packet. There can be defined up to 256 different types.
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation Protocol Description Binary XP (1D messages) Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 68 of 87 The TYPE-field is following the DATA-field. The DATA field contains the real data of the packet of the type TYPE. The CRC-field contains a check sum. The check sum is applied to all previous data fields except the START data field. All multi byte integers (e.g. CRC field) are encoded in Network-Byte-Order (Big Endian). All signed integers are encoded in two's complement representation. 7.1.3 Byte Stuffing The two symbols 0x7E and 0x7F are unique for START and STOP-fields. If those symbols occurs within any other field (TYPE, DATA or CRC), they must be replaced by the following order: original symbol replaced by 0x7D 0x7D 0x5D 0x7E 0x7D 0x5E 0x7F 0x7D 0x5F This byte stuffing scheme ensures that the receiver of the protocol can identify definitely the START-field within a flow of data, even if the symbol of the start field occurs within the DATA-field. Example: If the symbol 0x7d is read, it must be cancelled. The following symbol must be XOR combined with 0x20 to recreate the original symbol. Remark: Byte stuffing is deactivated for the fixed frame protocol (compare chapter 7.3). 7.1.4 CRC The CRC-16-IBM with polynomial x16+x15+x2+1 is used for the CRC. The CRC is calculated over all data fields (TYPE and DATA), but not for the START and END field. The CRC-calculation is only applied to the original symbols. The appropriate calculation for coding must applied before byte stuffing. If receiving the data from the LPR®-B system the byte stuffing must be reserved to get the original symbol. Then the CRC is updated with the original symbol.

No acknowledgment of the relay switch command will be sent because this data frame can be forwarded to other LPR®-B stations and thus no reception on the destination station is guaranteed. In case of faulty data frame (e.g. invalid relays chosen or unknown destination address) the LPR®-B station will print an error message.
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation Protocol Description Binary XP (1D messages) Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 72 of 87 7.3 TCP/IP option: Fixed Frame Protocol If the LPR® station has a TCP/IP interface two options are available for the protocol. Either you use the protocol as it is sent from the serial interface (with different data type lengths, byte stuffing) or you use a fixed frame protocol. In the first case the data symbols 0x7e und 0x7f (which are reserved for the START and END field) are replaced (see chapter 7.1.3). Byte stuffing causes a different protocol length. For the fixed frame protocol each LPR® data packet is filled up with zero bytes to a fixed length of bytes (i.e. 87 bytes) before the data packet is sent. Byte stuffing does not occur. The START and the END byte are still used but not clear anymore due to not applying byte stuffing. The fixed length of the data packets can be set on the web-interface of the LPR® unit. For the fixed frame protocol the data packets which are sent to a LPR® unit has to be filled up to a fixed length (i.e. 15 bytes). The START- and the END byte have to be occurred as well and byte stuffing does not occur anymore. It is recommended to fill up the data packet with zero bytes to facilitate a troubleshooting. If TCP/IP is used the transmitted data have already a checksum. Therefore the checksum in the protocol is not as important as for the serial interface. Two options for the fixed frame are allowed by the protocol inverter for receiving data in a fixed frame. Either 0x0000 is sent as the check sum to the LPR® unit. Then the protocol inverter is calculating the check sum itself. Or another value (differing to 0x0000) is sent as the check sum. Then this check sum is assumed to be the correct check sum. Otherwise the data packet is rejected. 7.3.1 Detailed description TCP Fixed-Frame Protocol If a TCP fixed-frame protocol is used, a working TCP connection between the PC and the LPR® unit has to be guaranteed. Depending on the configuration of the LPR® protocol inverter either the connection to a port on the LPR® has to be initialized from the PC or the LPR® unit is establishing a connection to a PC. If the connection is established, the PC has to read the data from the LPR® in fixed data length (i.e. 87 bytes). The first byte is always the START-byte and the second byte is always the TYPE-byte. The relevance of the following data is depending on the data type. Because no byte stuffing occurs the content for a special data type is always constant. For example the measured velocity of the distance data (type 0x00) is always written in the 12.-15 data byte. Sending data from the PC to LPR® station, a fixed data length has to be chosen (i.e. 15 byte). The first byte (START byte: 0x7e) follow the TYPE-byte. The following data depends on the chosen type, following by the CRC (correct CRC or 0x0000), following by the STOP byte (0x7f). The data packed has to be filled up with zeros. 7.3.2 Detailed description UDP Fixed-Frame Protocol If a UDP fixed frame protocol is used, the IP and the UDP port of the PC has to be configured in the LPR® protocol inverter. The converter sends each data packet as a UDP packet of a fixed length (87 byte) to the PC. Compared to the TCP fixed frame option the UDP fixed frame does not verify if the data packed arrived. The content is the same as for the TCP fixed frame protocol.
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation Protocol Description Binary XP (1D messages) Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 73 of 87 If data is sent to the LPR® unit the data has to be packed in a fixed data length (i.e. 15 bytes as for TCP fixed frame option). This data packet is sent as UDP packet to the LPR® unit. The port number of the receiver is the same as for the PC. In general bidirectional data communication is not recommended for UDP due to loosing singular data packets. 7.4 Remarks 7.4.1 LPR®-B Address LPR®-B station addresses are completely defined by a 16 bit value: 15 11 10 1 0group ID BBstation ID BB  Base station Bit: Indicates, if the LPR®-B station is defined as a base station or as a transponder (1=base station, 0=transponder) group ID: group ID of the station (1..1022) station ID: station ID of the station (0..30) In multi cell applications, group ID is the cell ID of the cell. 7.4.2 Distance Error codes The distance data contains an error field which indicates the status of the distance measurement. The following errors can occur: Value Content Source Description 0x00 no error Measurement valid 0x01 no peak detected Base Station No measurement signal 0x02 peak too low Base Station Measurement signal is imprecise 0x03 nothing received Transponder No measurement data received 0x04 implausible speed Base Station Velocity is to high 0x05 measurement botched Base Station Measurement is not feasible. 0x06 no occupying received Master Transponder Measurement channel is not reserved 0x07 no results received Master Transponder No measurement data received 0x08 trigger Transponder Unit did not attend the measurement
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation Trouble Shooting Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 74 of 87 8 Trouble Shooting This chapter will assist you for troubleshooting. For debugging circumstances it might be helpful to install a terminal program to analyze the system. 8.1 Programs 8.1.1 Terminal Program A Terminal program is useful for analyzing the system. The recommended terminal program is RealTerm. It is Open Source Software and can be downloaded from the webpage http://sourceforge.net/projects/realterm. Install the program on your PC. 8.1.2 Command Window (only for LPR-B Station with TCP/IP interface) The easiest way to check a connection between a LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface and your PC/network is the command window. The command window is preinstalled in the operating system Windows. Click on the window button Start  Enter cmd and click on OK. 8.1.3 Telnet (only for LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface) A short way to check the functionality of the LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface is Telnet. Telnet is preinstalled in the operating system Windows. Click on the window button Start  Enter telnet IP-address Port and click on OK. E.g. enter telnet 192.168.1.99 3045 to open the configuration port of the LPR-B station with IP-address 192.168.1.99 and the port 3045. 8.1.4 Browser (only for LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface) A webbrowser is necessary to make all settings of the LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface. You can make network settings as well as settings for the protocol. 8.1.5 Network Scanner (only for LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface) A network scanner like the program SoftPerfect (http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/) is for analyzing your network useful. 8.2 Hardware The following additional hardware is useful:  Serial Cable less than 2 meters (if there is a LPR-B station without TCP/IP interface )  LAN-cable (if there is LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface)  USB -RS232 converter (if there is no COM-port at your computer) 8.3 Connection to the LPR-B station with RS232 interface If you have a station without TCP/IP interface you only can connect your PC via the RS232 interface to the LPR-B station. For the connection you need a RS232 cable which should be less than 2 meters. A longer cable cannot guarantee a trouble-free transmission of data between the LPR-B station and the PC.
SYMEO LPR® LPR-1D Product Documentation Trouble Shooting Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Page 75 of 87 If you want to use a longer serial cable you have to reduce the baud rate of the LPR-B station. Ask the Symeo Service for detailed information. Typical values for the data rate for different length of the serial cables are: Max. baud rate Max. Length of RS232 cable 9.600 152 m 19.200 15 m 57.600 5 m 115.200 <2 m 8.4 Connection inside the LPR-B station To analyze the serial connection between your PC and the LPR-B station it is the best to connect the serial cable inside the LPR-B station. Open the LPR-B station. Make sure that you do not pollute anything inside the LPR-B station. There are 4 serial ports for connection. One port is for the configuration of the LPR-B station (S4: parameterization port) another one is the port for the distance data (S2: binary data). Two other serial ports (S1 and S3) are not used for commissioning the system. Figure 44 Data interface RS232 Data interfaces S1 ARM9 serial S2 Binary Data S3 A9 serial S4 Configuration ASCII (Service Port) For analyzing the LPR-B station use first the parameterization port (S4). Connect the serial cable with the parameterization port (S4) and the COM interface with your computer.

A small label on the backside of the antenna indicates the horizontal and vertical alignment. 4) For a distance measurement always two stations are involved. It has to be a transponder unit and a base station unit. Make sure that never two base stations or two transponders a measuring with each other. 5) Check if the binary port works. Open the program RealTerm. If connected to a LPR-B station with TCP/IP interface open the binary port 3046: Enter for example 192.168.1.99:3046.
