    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. The SensorSMART Platform takes the complexity out of managing assets, personnel safety monitoring and/or the tracking of valuable cargo and the need for multiple technologies.
  • Page 11: System Components -Sensors

    The SensorSMART Platform infrastructure features mobile readers (i-CARD), fixed readers (i-PORT) and exciters (i-MARK). Network sensors offer the highest functionality within the SensorSMART Platform. Robust and reliable, SMARTsensors monitor temperature, humidity, light, shock, tilt, motion, push button, digital input, Hall sensor, etc. The SDK (software development kit) is an easy to use framework that allows developers high level access without requiring in depth knowledge of sensor or reader protocols, timing or implementations.

    IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’ antennas are distinguished by their compact design. A variety of antennas can be used, depending on application. The antennas are differentiated by characteristics such as polarization, apex angle, and gain.
  • Page 13: Linear Polarized Antennas

    Orientation Diagrams: Elliptical polarized antenna Elevation Azimuth For this antenna, the maximum transmit power setting is:  A-9185: -8 dBm 3.5.2. Linear Polarized Antennas Because of the smaller apex angle (60º), this antenna is more suited to selective data collection and restriction of read zones. Depending on the direction of mounting, the antenna’s field is either vertically or horizontally polarized, requiring the sensor to have the same orientation.

    Tag Mounting Techniques Dimensional Drawing Side view to assembled tag Metal holder All dimensions in mm. Assembly and mounting The tag is delivered already preassembled and there is no need to disassemble the tag when metal band mounting is used. If however the screw mounting option is used, contact your local IDENTEC representative to ask for procedure and special tool.
  • Page 18: Tag Identification

    Now the lower aluminum part can be mounted either mounted to a flat surface by using screws (blue arrows) or onto a piped by using a metal strap (red arrow). After mounting the aluminum part, the tag and the aluminum holder can be assembled. Use the special tool and tighten the tag clockwise in the aluminum part.
  • Page 19: Initial Operation, Configuration Of The Tag

    Important Note Do not open the housing! Configuration is done using the built-in air interface of the i-Q350. The Response mode of the i-Q350 offers the following features for configuration:  Broadcast mode can be configured for simultaneous operation. In this case the tag responds to commands from a reader as well as broadcasts configurable data in a regular interval.
  • Page 20: Ping Rate

    Note: These settings can be found in the 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.
  • Page 21 Example This example shows 3 tags (A, B, C) that are simultaneously triggered by a marker loop (LF marker) and are configured to burst 3 times. The timeslot (Time between Bursts) is set to the default value of 40 ms. The last row shows how the random use of the timeslot avoids collision between the tags.
  • Page 22: Maintenance

    When installed correctly the SensorSMART 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, changes and maintenance necessary. Remove dust with a brush or compressed air. If there are fatty or oily substances use a soft cloth moistened with a mild rinsing agent.
