Installation / Commissioning
Check the operating voltage before connecting! Although the RS 232 interface re
-
acts largely insensitive to interferences, the cable should not lie directly beside pow
-
er supply cables.
Connect all necessary cables. For the next commissioning steps connect a Laptop
with the antenna. Then start the monitor program as described in section 6.3 on
page 34.
Default values
By default the system uses the values from the first file
(
Mon3964r.txt
; as listed in section 6.3.1 on page 34) at 9,600 Baud.Please keep
in mind, that another user might have changed those settings inside the antenna.
1.
Move a transponder into reception range.
The voltage
S
should increase significantly. The code should be detected imme
-
diately and the number of readings have to be continuously counted up to 255.
When moving the transponder in driving direction over the center axis of the
antenna, a positioning pulse should be generated.
2.
Remove the transponder.
The voltage
S
should decrease to very small values if there is no transponder
within the field. The code display must disappear; the display of the number of
readings will be preserved. If this is not the case, there are interferences in the
frequency band of 64 kHz.
If no errors have occurred, exit the monitor program. Don’t forget to save altered val
-
ues. If certain parameters have been altered, a system reset will be necessary
(switch off and reactivate the antenna) as mentioned in the corresponding sections
of the monitor program (described in section 6.3).
Afterwards it is recommended to log a full trip through the site. Depending on the
antenna variant there are different possibilities available to do so:
Parallel Interface (antenna versions V, X, Y)
Here the serial interface can be used for logging (see section 6.3.2.6 on page
42).
CAN-Bus (antenna version Z)
Here the serial interface (see section 6.3.2.6 on page 42) as well as the CAN-Bus
Message Object 3 (see section 5.2.2.3.4 on page 22) can be used for logging.
Serial Interface (antenna version U, Z)
Since the same serial interface is used for logging and user data output (version
Z only when the serial interface is chosen, see above), you have to operate the
vehicle in manual mode.
