Published by SYMEO GmbH Overview Copyright Symeo GmbH 2014 Page 4 of 38 SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DXi Product Documentation 1 Overview SYMEO Industrial Local Positioning Radar (LPR) is a system for contactless, real-time determination of distances between two devices by means of radio signals. All components are integrated in one casing. The compact unit can therefore be mounted very easily and operate maintenance-free, even under harsh conditions. Dust, fog, or similar impacts do not influence the system. The Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DXi consists of equal units, which are configured with the software Symeo-Wizard (via Windows PC with USB connection):
Figure 1 LPR-1DXi unit The LPR-1DXi unit has different interfaces. The unit has IP65 protection class. Overview of Interfaces Power Supply 10-36 Volt via terminal block inside casing USB Relays RS232 1.1 Parameter setting with Symeo Wizard (for Windows PC) 7 dry contact relays via terminal block inside casing Distance reading via terminal block inside casing Safety Instructions LPR systems are purely tracking and assistance systems. They therefore do not satisfy special requirements for personal safety, e.g. performance level c. Follow the safety instructions in this documentation!
Keep these safety instructions and other documents together with the device. Overview Copyright Symeo GmbH 2014 Page 5 of 38 1.2 Installation SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DXi Product Documentation 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). 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. 1.5 Power Supply A safety-inspected power cable that satisfies the regulations of the country of use is required for the device. The device must not be operated unless the nominal voltage of the device matches the values in the data sheet, described below. Check the supply voltage of the device in stationary devices. When 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 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. Copyright Symeo GmbH 2014 Page 6 of 38 Overview SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DXi Product Documentation 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 is fully installed (electric shock, cooling, fire protection). If necessary, refer to the corresponding instructions in the operating instructions for the device. In the case of high outside temperatures and intense, direct solar radiation or other radiant heat, it may be necessary to provide a sun or heat shield. 1.7 System Extensions and Accessories Data links to peripheral devices must be provided with adequate shielding. The warranty shall be voided if you cause defects to the device by installing or exchanging system extensions. 1.8 Additional Instructions The LPR-1DXi unit must not be opened except for installation. The LPR-
1DXi unit contains no serviceable components. When opening, ensure that no fluid gets into the housing. When sealing the unit, ensure that the seal is included in the cover and that the LPR-1DXi unit is completely closed. Otherwise, moisture can penetrate the unit and damage it. Please take note of the safety and operating instructions in the operating instructions for the system in which you want to install the component. Copyright Symeo GmbH 2014 Page 7 of 38 Overview SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DXi Product Documentation 2 System Description 2.1 Mode of Operation The distance is determined by measuring the transit time of radio signals. One unit initiates the measurement and the second unit replies. With the software Symeo-Wizard (via Windows PC) the distances for adjustable switching points are determined and transferred to the LPR-1DXi device. Upon reaching a switching threshold, on-board relays open dry contacts. Relays are available on both units. Remote units can be configured via the built-in radio interface. Optional the distance reading is also available on both of the units. LPR-1DXi 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 setting switching relays. 2.2 Technical Data Overview: Technical Data Frequency range 5.725-5.875 GHz, ISM band Transmitting power Max. 0.025 W / 14 dBm Positive signal control to opposite unit up to 1800 m Switch thresholds

For distance measurement and collision-avoidance, the two units are arranged as shown in Figure 2. The distance readings and relays are available at both of the paired units. Figure 2: LPR-1DXi system 2.4 System Design Each LPR 1DXi unit 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:
Parameters may only be set with the commissioning tool Symeo Wizard as described in chapter 5.4. Do not change parameters manually in the configuration files. 2.4.1 Station-ID (SID) Each unit has an explicit identification Number in one system. A system consists of 2 units. The first unit has the station number 1 (SID 1), the second unit has the station number 2 (SID 2). 2.4.2 Group-ID (GID) A pair of LPR-1DXi units is identified clearly by its group number. The two units in one system have the same group number. If there is used a second, a third or more system in your environment, all additional systems must have a different group number. Copyright Symeo GmbH 2014 Page 9 of 38 System Description SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DXi Product Documentation 2.4.3 Frequency Channel The measurement takes place in a frequency band width of 5,725 to 5,875 GHz. In this band width a frequency channel is assigned to the LPR-1DXi system. 30 different frequency channels are available. Two units in one LPR-1DXi system need the same frequency channel. If there are more LPR-1DXi systems in your environment each further LPR-1DXi system needs different frequency channels. The frequency channel is linked to the group ID. Therefore it is required to use different group IDs for different LPR-1DXi systems in the same environment. You can set the group IDs with the commissioning tool LPR-1DXi Symeo Wizard (see chapter 5). 2.5 Versions of LPR-1DXi Units For the LPR-1DXi units several different versions are available:

(described in chapter 5) 4.6 Installation Notes for Antennas 4.6.1 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 11. 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 Figure 11 Calculation and figure of Fresnel zone Copyright Symeo GmbH 2014 Page 17 of 38 Installation dbAntenna 1Antenna 2Fresnel zone SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DXi Product Documentation 4.6.2 Alignment of LPR-1DXi Units The LPR-1DXi units with the integrated 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 12). If an offset is not inevitable the units have to be tilted (compare picture 3 vs. picture 4 in Figure 12). Notice: If the distance goes below a fixed distance it is possible that no measurements take place any longer.

The binary 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 is a serial (RS232) interface. The data rate can be programmed to standard values (115200, 38400, 19200, 9600 baud). If a low data rate is chosen the measurement rate of the LPR-1DXi system may be adapted. 6.1.1 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 38 shows the general structure of the data packet. Figure 38: Structure of the data 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. 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). 6.1.2 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 0x7E 0x7F 0x7D 0x5D 0x7D 0x5E 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. Copyright Symeo GmbH 2014 Page 32 of 38 Protocol Description TYPEDATASTART0x7e1 byte1 byte1 byteCRC2 byteEND0x7f SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DXi Product Documentation 6.1.3 CRC The CRC-16-IBM with polynomial x16+x15+x2+1 is used for the checksum. The checksum is calculated over all data fields (TYPE and DATA), but not for the START and END field. The checksum-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-1DXi system the byte stuffing must be reserved to get the original symbol. Then the checksum is updated with the original symbol. 6.2 Data Types 6.2.1 Type 0x00 Distance Data Direction: LPR-1DXi User Content START TYPE Source* (LPR address 6.3.1) Destination* (LPR address 6.3.1) Antenna number Distance [mm]

*) Measurements are always executed by a LPR-1DXi Slave unit, this means, the Slave unit measures its distance towards a Group Master unit. The source field always contains the address of the LPR-1DXi Slave unit. The destination field contains the address of the measured Group Master unit. 6.2.2 Example of Distance Data 7E 00 10 03 08 02 11 00 00 10 62 00 00 00 7A E6 00 00 AF C4 7F Figure 39 - Protocol for a measurement of distance data This protocol shows a simple example for 1D measurement.
