8.3 Configuring the Antenna (Monitor Program)
8.3.1 Set Parameters
Once a connection to the antenna is established via the terminal program (see
above), the antenna can be set via the monitor program. By default, the system uses
the monitor only procedure at 38,400 baud. Note, however, that another user may
have changed this setting.
To adjust the antenna:
Set the required transmission parameters for the CAN bus or the serial interface
(see 10.2.8 „Basic C(A)N-Parameters“ on page 62, 10.2.9 „CA(N)-Open-
Parameters“ on page 65 and 10.2.5 „(S)erial Output“ on page 52).
Perform the tuning of the transmitting antenna (see 10.2.7 „(F)requency &
Antenna Tuning“ on page 60).
Position a transponder under the antenna and check whether all values arrive in
your system via the corresponding interface (CAN or serial). Also use the status
display in the basic menu for this purpose (see 10.2.1 „Main Menu“ on page 50).
The antenna is now ready for operation.
8.3.2 Minimize Interferences
After mounting the antenna, interference must not exceed 100 units. The influence
of the interferences strongly depends on the level of the transponder signal. The
transponder signal must be clearly above the interference signal.
To reduce interferences, please proceed as follows:
Carry out a measurement run along the entire installation and log it run using
the CSV output (see 10.2.11 „Cs(v)“ on page 69).
Adjust the reception thresholds as specifically (see 10.2.7 „(F)requency &
Antenna Tuning“ on page 60).
The interference is reduced.
Further strategies for detecting interference can be found in chapter 14.2 „Reducing
Interferences“ on page 79. In some cases, you can filter out interference by adjusting
limits and thresholds. In general, however, you should avoid interference by keeping
sources of interference at a sufficient distance from the transponder antenna and
maintaining constant reading distances from the transponders.
8.4 Finish Commissioning
If no errors have occurred:
Save the changed values (Load Userparameters to EEprom in the main menu
(see 10.2.1 „Main Menu“ on page 50).
Exit the monitor program.
You must restart the system for the changes to become active.
Disconnect the antenna from the operating voltage for a short time and
reconnect it.
The transponder antenna is now properly commissioned.
