Construction crew often uses remote control RF devices to set off explosives. 1.8 Children Do not allow children to play with owa23X. It is not a toy and they could hurt themselves or others. Children could also damage the unit. -
Page 9: Handling The Device
Turn the equipment OFF always before removing or replacing the battery. 1.12 Accessories Use only accessories that are compatible with your owa23X equipment, and recommended by owasys. Using inappropriate accessories can generate health risks or can damage the equipment because of incompatible devices and guarantee will not be valid. -
Page 10: Introduction
This document focuses on the explanation of the basic operation that is common to all of the owa23X devices. Whenever a feature is supported by the whole owa23X family, model is referred as owa23X. All the devices are provided with a small dedicated internal battery for RTC back-up and owa23A models are also provided with GPS data backup. -

Note: SW2 and SW3 pull the I/O pins to ground, so the LEDs will be ON. 3.3 Mounting the owa23X Development Kit The steps for mounting the components in owa23X are the following: GSM & GPS Antenna: Connect the antenna supplied by following the colour coding and/or labels. -
Page 15: Development Kit Software Set Up
In order to help the integrator, a compiler is included in the Development Kit CD. The cross compiler allows the developer to easily create binary files that can be directly executed in owa23X. In order to install the ARM cross compiler, follow the steps listed below. -
Page 16: Connecting Owa 23X To Apc
It is recommended to use the compiler included in the CD, or provided by owasys. This compiler is a standard GNU tool available in the web, and although it is possible to use other appropriate compilers (adapted to owa23X micro and with the required header files of the APIs), owasys is not responsible for possible compilation errors or any other malfunction. -

Page 21: Hardware Features
Refer to chapter 11 of the Programming Guide [1] about Flash memory use recommendations. 4.2.2 GSM/GPRS System owa23X provides GSM communication (Quad band EGSM 850-900-1800-1900 is supported depending on the Cellular Infrastructure and on used Operators). Audio calls, data calls and Short Message Service are the features supported by GSM. -
Page 22: Gps
The GPS data are backed-up for at least 2 hours. GPS data older than 2 hours is no longer valid and a cold start will be performed. The GPS backup battery requires powering the owa23X for at least 14 hours to reach a complete charge. The GPS receiver is the ANTARIS technology from ublox. -

Page 24: Power Supply
Also pins A2 & B2 provide CAN connection when available. See section 2.3. 4.2.5 Power Supply Power supply in the 30 pin connector is used to supply power to owa23X. Signals used for this purpose are: Signal... -
Page 25: Figure 4.2.7.2 Digital Output Typical Loads
If loads with higher power are required, the user can connect a separate power supply as shown below. In the following example, each load can be up to 100mA, giving a total fuse current of 800mA. The fuse should be fast blow type. BOK-100 1065-C-owa23X Platform Integrator's Manual... -
Page 26: Odometer / Counter
See the Programming Guide [1] for more information. 4.2.9 Vout Power Output The owa23X provides a regulated 4.5V power output for accessories or user loads. The maximum output current from Vout is 100mA. Do not exceed this, or damage to the output circuitry may result. -
Page 27: Analog Inputs
The owa23X includes a CAN transceiver that support ISO 11898 Transport level. This bus is high speed, up to 1 Mbaud. ADIN3 is provided to measure the voltage of the optional high capacity battery in the owa23X/b units. BOK-100 1065-C-owa23X Platform Integrator's Manual... -

Four LEDs are provided on the front panel. Refer to chapter 4.1 to identify them. The green LED on owa23X shows the current functional state, according to the table below. By default, the Green LED is ON, but the user can change the state of this LED so that it follows its own state code. -
Page 31: Sim Card Holder
However, the user must enable it explicitly first, as by default is controlled by the GSM module. The orange LED on owa23X is controlled by the GPS module and gives one pulse per second when the GPS module has coverage. - Page 32 An optional high capacity battery back-up can be installed (POP 100 2100), which allows continuous operation when the main power is lost. This enables the owa23X/b to e.g. make a final call before going into low power mode, or a similar procedure, as defined by the customer application software.

At this stage the SIM card may also be installed. Close the front cover ensuring all catches have closed. Once the battery has been installed, it may be necessary to turn off the owa23X. This can be achieved by grounding the ON/OFF signal in the Power Supply Connector (see section 4.2.4) for several seconds. -
Page 34: Internal Temperature
RTC time is always up to date provided power supply is applied to the owa23X. If power supply is removed or the owa23X turned OFF or is in ZERO POWER mode, an internal battery is keeps the time for a minimum of 1 month. -
Page 35: Protection
If the user interchanges GND and Vin, an internal diode avoids internal circuitry damage. 4.2.23.3 Electrical Interference To avoid electrical interference owa23X includes an EMI filter in the input power circuitry. 4.2.23.4 Fusing The owa23X does not include internal fusing. An external fuse should be included in the positive Vin supply with a rating of 5A to protect the cables and input circuitry in case of a fault condition. -
Page 36: Functional States
OPERATION Figure 4.3.1 Functional states. Once the owa23X is switched on, it starts executing the boot loader, (see section 4.5.1.1). Then, if the developer stops the process, the owa23X will remain in Service state. Otherwise the owa23X continues loading the kernel and the file system. -
Page 37: Power Modes
A simple demonstration of the power management, RTC, odometer and movement sensor functions can be found in owa23X-AN8. 4.4.1 Power Modes A description of the various power modes available is described in the following chapters. -

Page 56: Owa23X Firmware Advanced Configuration
These instructions are only for Linux advanced users. If the configuration of owa23X firmware is changed, the user is responsible of all these changes. In case the device was not able to accurately operate, it is not the responsibility of OWASYS As is explained in section 4.5.1.3, owa23X file system has fixed features and... - Page 57 Once we have executed it, we can start using the device just by configuring it with the right system commands. As a learning example we can see how an owa23x-ETH device might be configured within a LAN. First, an IP address must be assigned to the owa23x Ethernet device, ifconfig command is used for that purpose.
