SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DHP Product Documentation Overview Safety Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 6 of 40 1 Overview Safety 1.1 Safety Instructions LPR systems are purely tracking and assistance systems. They therefore do not satisfy the safety class 3 requirements and must not be used as standalone systems in safety-critical applications, such as automation or anti-collision. Follow the safety instructions in the operating instructions for the device and the additional documentation! Keep these safety instructions and other documents together with the device. 1.2 Installation All installation, repair and servicing work must be carried out by qualified and trained technicians! When the system is mounted on fixed tubes the necessary measures to prevent slippage of the system must be taken 1.3 Repairs Repairs of the device must be carried out by authorized technicians. Unauthorized opening and incorrect repairs could result in severe danger to the user (danger of electric shock, radiated energy, fire hazard). 1.4 Transport and Storage Use the original packaging or other suitable packaging for returns and whenever the system is to be transported. This ensures protection from crushing, impacts, moisture and electrostatic discharge. During setup and before operation, refer to the instructions for environmental conditions included in the operating instructions for the device. Route the wires in such a way that they do not cause a hazard and are not damaged. When connecting the wires, refer to the corresponding instructions in the operating instructions for the device. Do not drop the device and do not expose it to strong vibrations.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DHP Product Documentation Overview Safety Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 7 of 40 1.5 Power Supply A safety-inspected power cable that satisfies the regulations of the country of use is required for the device. Devices with metal housings must only be connected to a grounded, shock proof socket. The device must not be operated unless the nominal voltage of the device matches the local supply voltage. Check the supply voltage of the device in stationary devices. When connecting and disconnecting wires, refer to the instructions in the operating instructions for the device. Do not use any damaged wires (damaged insulation, exposed wires). A faulty wire poses a risk of electric shock or fire hazard. Polarity reversal or otherwise faulty connection can damage the LPR-1DHP station. In that case the station must be send to the SYMEO service. 1.6 Setup and Operation During installation, make sure that no objects or fluids enter the device (risk of electric shock, short circuit). In emergencies (e. g. if there is damage to the housing, control elements or the mains cable, if fluids or foreign bodies have infiltrated the equipment), switch off the power supply to the device immediately and notify your SYMEO Service. Protect the contacts of all of the device's sockets and plugs from static electricity. Do not touch the contacts. If it is ever necessary to touch the contacts, take the following precautionary measures: Touch a grounded object or carry a ground strap before touching the contacts. This will divert static charges. Proper operation (in accordance with IEC60950/EN60950) of the device is only assured if the housing and integral covers for mounting slots are fully installed (electric shock, cooling, fire protection, noise suppression). If necessary, refer to the corresponding instructions in the operating instructions for the device.

SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DHP Product Documentation Protocol XP Description for TCP/IP and RS232 Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Seite 37 von 40 8 Protocol XP Description for TCP/IP and RS232 8.1 General Description This protocol is the interface between a LPR-1DHP station and the user. The binary protocol XP protocol provides information in high density. Its structure ensures a simple implementation. The transfer is done in single data frames. The interface for the binary protocol XP can either be a serial (RS232) interface or a TCP/IP or UDP interface. The baudrate of the serial interface must be set to 19200 baud. 8.1.1 Structure of Data Packet The binary protocol XP was originally designed for transmission over RS232 interfaces. When the protocol is used on a RS232 interface each data packet starts and ends with a reserved symbol. This reserved symbol cannot appear in the data stream. Figure 1 shows the general structure of the data packet. TYPE DATASTART0x7e1 byte 1 byte 1 byteCRC2 byteEND0x7f Figure 1: Structure of data the packet The START and the STOP-field is in each data packet the reserved symbol 0x7e and 0x7f. TYPE indicates the type of the data packet. Therefore up to 256 different types can be defined . The TYPE-field is followed by the DATA-field. The DATA field contains the real data of the packet of the type TYPE. The CRC-field contains a check sum. The check sum is applied to all previous data fields except the START and END data field. All multi-byte integers (e.g. CRC field) are encoded in Network-Byte-Order (Big Endian). 8.1.2 Byte Stuffing The two symbols 0x7E and 0x7F are unique for START and STOP-fields. If these symbols occur within any other field (TYPE, DATA or CRC), they must be replaced by the following order: original symbol replaced by 0x7D 0x7D 0x5D 0x7E 0x7D 0x5E 0x7F 0x7D 0x5F This byte stuffing scheme ensures that the receiver of the protocol can identify definitely the START-field within a flow of data, even if the symbol of the start field occurs within the DATA-field. Example: If the symbol 0x7d is read, it must be cancelled. The following symbol must be XOR combined with 0x20 to recreate the original symbol.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DHP Product Documentation Protocol XP Description for TCP/IP and RS232 Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Seite 38 von 40 Byte stuffing is deactivated for the fixed frame protocol (compare chapter 8.3). 8.1.3 CRC The CRC-16-IBM with polynomial x16+x15+x2+1 is used for the CRC. The CRC is calculated over all data fields (TYPE and DATA), but not for the START and END field. The CRC-calculation is only applied to the original symbols. The appropriate calculation for coding must applied before byte stuffing. If receiving the data from the LPR-1DHP system the byte stuffing must be resolved to get the original symbol. Then the CRC is updated with the original symbol. 8.2 Data Types 8.2.1 Type 0x00 – Distance Data Direction: LPR-1DHP → User Content Length Value Data type START 1 0x7E TYPE 1 0x00 Internal service information 2 0x#### Internal service information 2 0x#### Internal service information 1 0x## Distance [mm] 4 0x#### #### signed integer Velocity [mm/s] 4 0x#### #### signed integer Level [dB] 1 0x## signed integer Error 1 0x## unsigned integer Internal service information 1 0x## CRC 2 0x#### END 1 0x7F Total length without byte stuffing: 21 byte

Either you use the protocol as it is sent from the serial interface (with different data type lengths, byte stuffing) or you use a fixed frame protocol. In the first case the data symbols 0x7e und 0x7f (which are reserved for the START and END field) are replaced (see chapter 8.1.2.) Byte stuffing causes a different protocol length. For the fixed frame protocol each LPR-1DHP data packet is filled up with zero bytes to a fixed length of bytes (i.e. 87 bytes) before the data packet is sent. Byte stuffing does not occur. The START and the END byte are still used but not clear anymore due to not applying byte stuffing. The fixed length of the data packets can be set on the web-interface of the LPR-1DHP unit. If TCP/IP is used the transmitted data have already a checksum. Therefore the checksum in the protocol is not as important as for the serial interface. 8.3.1 Detailed description TCP Fixed-Frame Protocol If a TCP fixed-frame protocol is used, a working TCP connection between the PC and the LPR unit has to be guaranteed. Depending on the configuration of the LPR protocol
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR-1DHP Product Documentation Protocol XP Description for TCP/IP and RS232 Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2010 Seite 40 von 40 converter either the connection to a port on the LPR has to be initialized from the PC or the LPR unit is establishing a connection to a PC. If the connection is established, the PC has to read the data from the LPR in fixed data length (i.e. 89 bytes). The first byte is always the START-byte and the second byte is always the TYPE-byte. The relevance of the following data is depending on the data type. Because no byte stuffing occurs the content for a special data type is always constant. For example the measured velocity of the distance data is always written in data bytes 12-15 8.3.2 Detailed description UDP Fixed-Frame Protocol If a UDP fixed frame protocol is used, the IP and the UDP port of the PC has to be configured in the LPR protocol inverter. The converter sends each data packet as a UDP packet of a fixed length (89 byte) to the PC. Compared to the TCP fixed frame option the UDP fixed frame does not verify if the data packed arrived. The content is the same as for the TCP fixed frame protocol. 8.4 Error messages The distance data contains an error field which indicates the status of the message. The following errors can occur: Content Source Description Value no error Measurement valid 0x00 no peak detected Base Station No measurement signal 0x01 peak too low Base Station Measurement signal is imprecise 0x02 nothing received Transponder No measurement data received 0x03 implausible speed Base Station Velocity is to high 0x04 measurement botched Base Station Measurement is not feasible. 0x05 no occupying received Master Transponder Measurement channel is not reserved 0x06 no results received Master Transponder No measurement data received 0x07 Trigger Transponder Unit did not attend the measurement 0x08
