i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL Safety Instructions The system described in this manual is for exclusive operation of trained employees. Only qualified personnel that have knowledge of the potential dangers involved should perform the installation, settings, maintenance and repair of the units used.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL Electrostatic Discharge Semi-conductors of the type MOS or CMOS as well as two-pin types and precision resistance are sensitive to ESD. All components, printed circuit boards and auxiliary systems should therefore always be classed as sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Before opening the cover, the unit should be placed onto an ESD-protected surface.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL 1. PREFACE 1.1. Preparations This installation manual must be read carefully prior to starting the installation. The described installation works, assuming that installation materials like cable, antenna and mounting materials are available. 1.2. Scope of This Document This document is the hardware description of the i-Q350L RTLS AS/AH. This document is intended only for mechanical and electrical installation of these central units. 1.3.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL 2. INTRODUCTION 2.1. 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.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL 2.3. System Components – 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.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL 2.4. System Components – Readers 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.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL 3. TRANSPONDER MOUNTING TECHNIQUES The Transponder can be mounted either with cable straps using the 2 slots at each end, by using rivets or screws described in the following 3 subchapters. 3.1. Cable Straps 3.2. Rivets VISIBILITY DELIVERED.

i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL 4. CONFIGURATION OF THE TRANSPONDER 4.1. General The i-Q350L 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.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL Overview on the Configuration Software VISIBILITY DELIVERED.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL 4.2. 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.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L 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 4.6. Length of User Data max. 50 Bytes max. 38 Bytes max. 43 Bytes max.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL Continuous ranging behavior: While in motion, the i-Q350L 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.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L 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.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL 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”.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL 4.8. 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.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL 4.9. Information on Burst Settings for the Push Button The parameter “Time between Bursts (Push Button)” 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.

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.
i-Q350L RTLS AS & i-Q350L RTLS AH USER MANUAL 6. MAINTENANCE 6.1. General When installed correctly, the ILR System will operate virtually maintenance free for many years. 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.
