An installation description is delivered separately to this document. This antenna is not approved to be in compliance with part 15 of FCC rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Usage of these antennas may void the FCC/ IC authorization to operate this equipment. Further information is found in the Appendix. 1.1 Safety Instructions LPR®-1D systems are purely tracking and assistance systems. They therefore do not satisfy special requirements for personal safety, e.g. performance level c. 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!
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation Overview Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 9 of 97 1.3 Repairs Repairs to 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. 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. 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. 1.6 Setup and Operation During installation, make sure that no objects or fluids get inside 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.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation Overview Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 10 of 97 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. In the case of high outside temperatures and intense, direct solar radiation or other radiant heat, it may be necessary to provide a sun or heat shield. 1.7 System Extensions and Accessories Data links to peripheral devices must be provided with adequate shielding. For LAN cabling, the requirements in accordance with EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2 apply. Use of either a Category 5 shielded cable for 10/100 Ethernet or Category 5e shielded cable for gigabit Ethernet is a minimum requirement. The specifications of standard ISO/IEC 11801 must be complied with. The warranty shall be voided if you cause defects to the device by installing or exchanging system extensions. 1.8 Additional Instructions regarding Compact Type and Integral Type Units The Compact type LPR® unit must not be opened except for installation. The Compact Unit contains no serviceable components. When opening, ensure that no fluid gets into the housing. When sealing the unit, ensure that the seal is included in the cover and that the Compact Unit is completely closed. Otherwise, moisture can penetrate the unit and damage it. In order to install the Integral type LPR® unit, the hood must be detached from the serviceable components. Refer also to the instructions on installing the Group Master Unit. Please take note of the safety and operating instructions in the operating instructions for the system in which you want to install the component.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation System Description Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 11 of 97 2 System Description 2.1 System architecture SYMEO Industrial LPR® is a system for contactless, real-time determination of distances and positions. LPR® 1D is a distance measurement system which is particularly well suited for use in very harsh, industrial environments, in which other systems such as mechanical rotary encoders or lasers cannot function for long periods. All devices have a unique identifier, via which they are actuated. In order to measure the signal transit time and thus also a corresponding distance, the two devices involved are time-synchronized (with accuracy in the picoseconds range). LPR® units use the same frequency band and the same hardware for communicating as for measuring distance. This means that no external WLAN or cable networks are needed for transmitting measurement values and other reference data. 2.2 Technical Data Overview: Technical Data Power supply 10 - 36 V DC Power consumption max. 8W Housing dimensions (LxWxH) 260 x 160 x 91 mm Weight 2.5 kg Connections Power-Supply: Terminal block Antenna: N-connector Ethernet: Plugged connection Relays (optional): Terminal block Profibus/RS232: Terminal block Antennas Up to 4 independent antennas, N-Connector Hardware interface Serial RS232, TCP/IP (optional), Profibus (optional) 7x dry contacts (optional, rating: max. 60 VDC, max. 2 A) Data interface Data port (Symeo binary protocol), Service port (ASCII protocol) Profibus (optional) User data transfer rate 8 bytes/cycle, up to 800 byte/s Frequency range 5.725 - 5.875 GHz, ISM-band

For FCC /IC authorization the maximum field strength is limited by firmware (FCC labeled units only). *2 Depending on the antenna type, mounting position and environment *3 For FCC/IC authorization a maximum measurement frequency of 10 Hz is allowed (FCC labeled units only). *4 Temperature inside the housing can range from -40 °C to 85 °C. *5 FCC labeled units only. 2.3 System Configuration The LPR® 1D system consists of two, three, four or five LPR® units. Each of these units can be configured either as a Group Master Unit or as a Slave Unit. A system consists of exactly one LPR® unit configured as a Group Master Unit and between one and four LPR® units configured as Slave Units. For pure 1D distance measurement two units are required and are arranged as shown in Figure 3. The distance information is available at both units.

SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation System Description Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 13 of 97 Besides the distance information, smaller volumes of user data can also be passed between the units. These are fed in on the serial port of a unit and output in corresponding manner on the other side. Each unit consists of a basic unit, corresponding antenna cable, antenna, as well as power supply and ports. Further options for arranging LPR® units are described in the section 2.6 "Application Examples". 2.4 System Design Each LPR® 1D unit has parameters to provide an explicit allocation to a system and also to ensure the functionality of a system. These parameters are explained in the following: Parameters may only be set with the commissioning tool Symeo Wizard as described in chapter 5.4. Do not change parameters manually in the configuration files. 2.4.1 Station-ID (SID) Each unit has an explicit Identification Number in one system. If using more than one LPR® 1D systems in your environment same station numbers could be used. BUT: In one system all station numbers are different. A system consists at least of 2 units, at most of 5 units. The first unit has the station number 1 (SID 1), the second unit has the station number 2 (SID 2), etc. Unit 1 (SID 1) is the LPR® Group Master Unit, as a coordinator of the system. Units 2  5 (SID 2  5) are LPR® Slave Units. A Group Master Unit (SID 1) can only measure with a Slave Unit (SID 2  SID 5) and vice versa, but NEVER with another Group Master Unit or a Slave Unit with another Slave Unit. But the Group Master Unit (coordinator) can measure with up to 4 Slave Units. Keep in mind: SID 1 Group Master Unit SID 2 Slave Unit 1 SID 3 Slave Unit 2 SID 4 Slave Unit 3 SID 5 Slave Unit 4 There is no difference in the hardware of a Group Master Unit and a Slave Unit. The only difference is the configuration software. The Group Master
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation System Description Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 14 of 97 Unit organizes the measurements. It allocates time slots to the Slave Units to identify when these units are allowed to start with a measurement. 2.4.2 Group-ID (GID) A system is identified clearly by its group number. All units in one system have the same group number. If there is used a second, a third or more systems in your environment, all additional systems must have a different group number (see Figure 5). 2.4.3 FSK Channel (FSK) The measurement of the round trip of flight (RTOF) happens in a frequency band width of 5,725 to 5,875 GHz. In this band width the LPR® system gets a frequency channel. 30 frequency channels are available. All units in one LPR® systems have the same frequency channel. If there are more LPR® systems in your environment each further LPR® system has another frequency channel (see Figure 5). If you commission the system with the LPR® commissioning tool LPR® 1D Wizard, the frequency channel is linked to a group ID. Therefore it is really important to use different group IDs for different LPR® systems.

For this, the Group Master Unit first sends a communication packet to the Slave Unit to start the measurement. The unit that is addressed in this way sends a response sequence and a special, wideband response signal which is ideal for making distance measurements. The Group Master Unit synchronizes itself with this signal and after a precisely known time replies in highly synchronized manner with exactly the same signal. The Slave Unit receives this signal and uses the signal transit time to determine its distance from the Group Master Unit. The distance can be output after the measurement by any of the units participating. As an option, if the distance falls below a given value, a switch (dry contact) can be actuated to trigger a warning signal, for example. Besides distance measurement, the system's communication can be used for transmitting user data in the intervals between measurements. Transmission is asynchronous, i.e. the data is requested and transmitted when the measurement has been completed. To transmit data over the system, first a send data request is sent by the LPR® unit to the user. Then the user data is received and transmitted to the second LPR® unit. The data channel has a channel capacity of 8 byte/measurement cycle. This means, the overall capacity depends on the chosen measurement frequency. I.e. if a measurement frequency of 10 Hz is chosen, the capacity is 80 byte/s 2.6 Application Examples Figure 3 shows the simplest arrangement of LPR® units (LPR® 1DX). This is used for measuring the distance between two LPR® units. The abbreviation 1DX means distance measurement without positioning. Some more complex arrangements are illustrated in the following description. 2.6.1 Redundant arrangement (2 x LPR-1DX) For reasons of operational safety, it may be necessary to combine two systems in a redundant arrangement. Figure 4 shows two Slave Units and two Group Master Units installed in a redundant arrangement on two crane bridges. Each Slave Unit communicates
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation System Description Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 16 of 97 with the opposite Group Master Unit. Both systems measure independently from each other. After the measurement, the distance from the respective partner can be output at each of the participating units. Optionally, a switching contact may also be actuated depending on the distance, e.g., to trigger a warning signal for example if the crane bridges come too close to one another and there is a danger that they may collide. If more than one LPR® system is used, each system has its own group ID and its own frequency channel. So both systems do not disturb each other. 2 x LPR 1DX(Plan View)Crane Bridge 1Crane Bridge 2AntennaRadio PathLPR Slave unitLPR Group Master unit Figure 6: LPR® 1DX Redundant arrangement
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation System Description Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 17 of 97 2.6.2 Positioning of Crane Crab (LPR® 1DP2) In order to determine positions in two dimensions (x-y coordinates), three LPR® units can be arranged in an L-shape (see Figure 7). In this case, the unit that is configured as the Group Master Unit (unit 1) is equipped with 2 antennas. This unit measures against the first Slave Unit (unit 2) with the first antenna, and against the second Slave Unit (unit 3) with the other antenna, for example. In this way, the position of a crane crab can be determined. Crane Bridge Crane CrabLPR 1DP2(Plan View)AntennaLPR Slave UnitsLPR Group Master UnitRadio Path Figure 7: LPR® 1DP2 L-shaped arrangement

In the arrangement shown in Figure 8, the Group Master Unit (unit 1) is equipped with two antennas. A Slave Unit (unit 2 and unit 3) is installed on each of the two cranes. The two antennas are mounted at the wall at the same height as the respective Slave Units installed on the cranes. In this way, the distance of both cranes from the wall can be calculated. By comparing these two distances, a warning may be output  WallKran 1Crane 2Antenna 1Antenna 2Crane 1Side View Crane 2 Crane 1LPR 1DP SystemLPR Slave UnitLPR Group Master UnitRadio Path 1Radio Path 2 Figure 8: LPR® 1DP Y-shaped arrangement

Therefore it is important to avoid ingress of moisture, dust or any particles into the housing during the installation process. Make sure that there is enough room for the connectors, and particularly that the antenna cable is accessible; pay attention to the permitted bending radius (center of radius to cable core) for standard cables of 10,5cm (for multiple bending under mechanical load) and 4cm (unloaded and static bending). The Compact Unit should preferably be installed so that the connecting sockets point downwards. In this way, the connections are protected from rain and dust.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation Installation Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 38 of 97 4.1.2 Installation To install the Compact Unit, you require 4 round head M6 x 30 screws (at least).  Check the position of the unit on the device on which the Compact Unit is to be installed (e.g. a crane bridge). Bear in mind the installation instructions listed above.  Drill holes in the device on which the Compact Unit is to be installed. Drill-hole distances: 11 cm wide, 24 cm high (see Figure 10).  Open the Compact Unit: With a Phillips screwdriver (Size 0), loosen the top four screws of the Compact Unit lid.  Screw the Compact Unit tightly to the device. The installation holes shown in Figure 10 are provided for this purpose. Check that the unit is mounted securely.  Close the unit: Place the cover of the Compact Unit on top and fasten the cover with the four screws. Make sure that the cover is securely attached to the housing.  Commission the Compact Unit (see chapter 5) 4.2 Installation of LPR® Antennas4.2.1 Connecting and Wiring up the Antenna and Cable Connect the antennas to the antenna port at the LPR® unit. When using several antennas, ensure that they are connected to the correct ports.

The minimum bending radius must always be maintained. With the standard antenna cables delivered, the minimum bending radius (center of radius to cable core) for standard cables is
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation Installation Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 39 of 97 10,5 cm (for multiple bending under mechanical load) and 4 cm (unloaded and static bending). The cable must not be attached in a way that squeezes its cross-section. On demand, cables with different flexibility characteristics are available.  The antenna plug must not be removed (e.g. for installation purposes) or repaired because the specified electrical properties can only be achieved with mechanical installation assistance.  When installing the antenna cable, ensure that the screw connection is seated properly and not tilt. The antenna cable plugs should be finger-tightened before tightening with an appropriate tool to no more than 1.3 Nm tightening torque. 4.2.2 Installing the Antenna(s) The line of sight between the antennas on each unit must not be obstructed. Therefore, when installing the antenna fixture, ensure that no components are blocking the line of sight between the antennas. If necessary, contact the SYMEO technical department. Depending on the antenna type used, offsetting the corresponding antennas (either vertically or horizontally) may degrade the signal strength to the point that communication is lost. Accordingly, corresponding antenna pairs should be installed with as little offset with respect to each other as possible, and preferably none. If necessary, contact the SYMEO technical department. If you change the position of one antenna, this will affect the measurement data. For installation of the planar antennas, it is important to keep the same orientation of polarization for corresponding antennas (see Figure 25). Figure 25: Backside of 23 dBi planar antenna  Install the antenna bracket according to the accompanying operating instructions.  Secure the antenna in the bracket.  Connect the antenna to the antenna cable.

The main part of energy is concentrated in the first Fresnel zone. This area has to be free of any obstacles otherwise the signal is interrupted or attenuated. The first Fresnel zone can be calculated as follows:         is the wave length and  the distance between the two antennas. For a frequency of 5.8 GHz a wave length  of approx. 0.05 m is calculated. The maximum radius between the two antennas is indicated with . For different distances the maximum radius is given in Figure 26 distance d radius b 10 m 0.36 m 50 m 0.80 m 100 m 1.14 m 250 m 1. 80 m 500 m 2.54 m 1000 m 3.60 m dbAntenna 1 Antenna 2Fresnel zone Figure 26 Calculation and figure of Fresnel zone 4.2.4 Installation of Planar Antennas Each antenna type has its own opening angle. To communicate with the opposite antenna the relative antennas has to be located in the opening angles of the opposite antennas. Antennas have to be mounted without any offset (no difference in height and no offset sideways). Make sure that the opening angle is symmetric to the relative direction of motion (compare picture 1 vs. picture 2 in Figure 27). If an offset is not inevitable the antennas have to be tilted (compare picture 3 vs. picture 4 in Figure 27). Notice: If the distance goes below a fixed distance it is possible that no measurements take place any longer in this configuration.

Also if you have several units in one system (crane bridge, crane crab, wall) you get the binary distance data at each LPR® unit at the data port in this system. 5.2 Connection to LPR® Unit with TCP/IP Interface With delivery the LPR® units have the fixed IP-Address 192.168.1.99, if no other IP-Address is labeled outside the LPR® unit. You can change the IP-address of the LPR® Unit via the web interface of the LPR® Unit as described in chapter 6. To get a connection between your PC and the LPR® unit it is maybe necessary to change the network parameters of your computer. Both units must be located in the same network. That means in this example that the first three numeric pads of both IP-addresses must be the same. Disconnect your PC from the network. Connect the LPR® unit and the computer with a network cable. Open your network settings of your computer.

SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation Protocol Description Binary XP (1D messages) Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 76 of 97 7 Protocol Description Binary XP (1D messages) 7.1 General Description This protocol describes the interface between a LPR® 1D unit 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 baud rate of the serial interface must be set to 115200 baud. 7.1.1 Direction of Data The interface can be applied bidirectional. However, certain data types are defined for one direction. Furthermore it is only allowed to send data to a LPR® 1D unit after the LPR® 1D unit has sent a send request (type 0x02). Table 1 shows an overview which data packets can be applied in which direction. Data Type direction from LPR® 1D to LPR® 1D 0x00 Distance Data + 0x01 User Data + + 0x02 Send Request + 0x03 Relay Switching Command + Tab. 1: direction of data Sending data to the LPR® 1D unit is only possible after receiving a send request (Type 0x02-to-LPR® 1D unit. The LPR® 1D can only handle one data packet from one user. If nevertheless data is sent to the LPR® 1D unit without a previous send request, it can result in a reboot of the LPR® 1D unit. Per one send request the user can send only one data set to the LPR® 1D unit. 7.1.2 Structure of Data Packet To apply the protocol on a RS232 interface each data packet starts and ends with a reserved symbol. This reserved symbol cannot appear in the data stream. Figure 58 shows the general structure of the data packet. TYPE DATASTART0x7e1 byte 1 byte 1 byteCRC2 byteEND0x7f Figure 58: Structure of data packet
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation Protocol Description Binary XP (1D messages) Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 77 of 97 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. There can be defined up to 256 different types. The TYPE-field is following 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 data field. All multi byte integers (e.g. CRC field) are encoded in Network-Byte-Order (Big Endian). All signed integers are encoded in two's complement representation. 7.1.3 Byte Stuffing The two symbols 0x7E and 0x7F are unique for START and STOP-fields. If those symbols occurs 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. Remark: Byte stuffing is deactivated for the fixed frame protocol (compare chapter 7.3). 7.1.4 CRC The CRC-16-IBM with polynomial x16+x15+x2+1 is used for the checksum 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® 1D system the byte stuffing must be reserved to get the original symbol. Then the CRC is updated with the original symbol.

No acknowledgment of the relay switch command will be sent because this data frame can be forwarded to other LPR® 1D units and thus no reception on the destination unit is guaranteed. In case of faulty data frame (e.g. invalid relays chosen or unknown destination address) the LPR® 1D unit will print an error message.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation Protocol Description Binary XP (1D messages) Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 81 of 97 7.3 TCP/IP option: Fixed Frame Protocol If the LPR® unit has a TCP/IP interface two options are available for the protocol. 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 7.1.3). Byte stuffing causes a different protocol length. For the fixed frame protocol each LPR® 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® unit. For the fixed frame protocol the data packets which are sent to a LPR® unit has to be filled up to a fixed length (i.e. 15 bytes). The START- and the END byte have to be occurred as well and byte stuffing does not occur anymore. It is recommended to fill up the data packet with zero bytes to facilitate a troubleshooting. 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. Two options for the fixed frame are allowed by the protocol inverter for receiving data in a fixed frame. Either 0x0000 is sent as the check sum to the LPR® unit. Then the protocol inverter is calculating the check sum itself. Or another value (differing to 0x0000) is sent as the check sum. Then this check sum is assumed to be the correct check sum. Otherwise the data packet is rejected. 7.3.1 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 inverter either the connection to a port on the LPR® unit 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® unit in fixed data length (i.e. 87 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 (type 0x00) is always written in the 12.-15 data byte. Sending data from the PC to LPR® unit, a fixed data length has to be chosen (i.e. 15 byte). The first byte (START byte: 0x7e) follow the TYPE-byte. The following data depends on the chosen type, following by the CRC (correct CRC or 0x0000), following by the STOP byte (0x7f). The data packed has to be filled up with zeros. 7.3.2 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 (87 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.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System LPR®-1D Product Documentation Protocol Description Binary XP (1D messages) Copyright © Symeo GmbH 2012 Page 82 of 97 If data is sent to the LPR® unit the data has to be packed in a fixed data length (i.e. 15 bytes as for TCP fixed frame option). This data packet is sent as UDP packet to the LPR® unit. The port number of the receiver is the same as for the PC. In general bidirectional data communication is not recommended for UDP due to loosing singular data packets. 7.4 Remarks 7.4.1 LPR® 1D Address LPR® 1D unit addresses are completely defined by a 16 bit value: 15 11 10 1 0group ID BBstation ID BB  Slave Unit Bit: Indicates, if the LPR® 1D unit is defined as a Slave Unit or as a Group Master Unit (1=Slave Unit, 0=Group Master Unit) group ID: group ID of the unit (1..1022) station ID: station ID of the unit (0..30) In multi cell applications, group ID is the cell ID of the cell. 7.4.2 Distance Error codes The distance data contains an error field which indicates the status of the distance measurement.
