Introduction EPD-053 is an ePaper device using ultra low power 2.4GHz RF wireless protocol integrated with 5.65" EPD and ARM Cortex-M3 processor. The device can be used in hospitals, pharmacies, factory, warehouse, and retail applications. With optimization on power consumption and device management, your applications will benefit from years of battery life.
The WISE-3610Z built-in router can extend the wireless range of the Gateway. EPD-053 device is a device with ePaper, EPD controller and wireless connectiv- ity. Advantech provides a total solution for development of different architectures accord- ing to the end customer's system requirements.
Page 14
From the below diagram you can see EPD-053 is the end node of the system. Devel- opers can use Advantech’s WISE-3610Z /3240 to connect to ePaper manager which is installed on ARK2250L. Multi-function RESTful APIs are available on ePaper Man- ager for developers to integrate with their vertical market applications in retail, smart warehouse, factory, hospitals, and transportation.
System Architecture Figure 2.1 EPD-053 Network Topology 2.1.1 System Environment Device1 Version ARK 2250L/ePaper manager WIN7, WIN10 (2019,Q3) 64 bit, V1.0.0 WISE Gateway: 3610Z OpenWRT V1.0.0 WISE Router: WISE3240 OpenWRT V1.0.0 EPD Device CC2650 TI RTOS V1.0.0 System Specification One single network can be built using WISE-3610Z or WISE-3240 One WISE-3610Z can support up to 400 EPD devices in one channel.
CRC failing Device power consumption: Battery CR2450 x 4 pcs – EPD-053 transfers images from the gateway to devices. The battery life time is good for 4100 image refreshes (in 25 degree environments). Support multi-image storage.
Status Report Router (WISE-3610Z or WIS-3240) will report status every 1 min. EPD device will report status every 1 min. 2.4.4 Execute Actions Cmd Router will receive action commands from the gateway in real-time. EPD-053 User Manual...
(3) EPD device can auto join the network after the whitelist has been properly setup in ePaper manager and on the gateway. Note! End users need to be aware what 2.4Ghz wi-fi channels have been used to avoid to using the same channels. EPD-053 User Manual...
Secure Key Mechanism: Advantech EPD-053 offers the user to change the secure key when data exchanges between devices. The user can setup a new secure key from ePaper manager and the gateway will start to pass the new key to the connected device. As long as the key has been changed, the device can not operate on the original system which has the old secure key in its settings.
