SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System ® LPR -1D Product Documentation 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).
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System ® LPR -1D Product Documentation 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.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System ® LPR -1D Product Documentation 8 Protocol Description for PROFIBUS Interface 8.1 Profibus data structure The total length of one data set is 48 bytes. The first 24 bytes presents the data for the slave unit 1 with station ID 2, the second 24 bytes presents the data for the slave unit 2 with station ID 3.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System ® LPR -1D Product Documentation 8.2 Error messages The data packet contains an error field which indicates the status of the message.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System ® LPR -1D Product Documentation 9 Trouble Shooting This chapter will assist you for troubleshooting. For debugging circumstances it might be helpful to install a terminal program to analyze the system. 9.1 Programs 9.1.1 Terminal Program A terminal program is useful for analyzing the system. The recommended terminal program is RealTerm. It is Open Source Software and can be downloaded from the webpage http://sourceforge.net/projects/realterm.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System ® LPR -1D Product Documentation For connecting to the D-sub socket (C4) please use a standard RS232 cable (1:1) with a maximum length of 2 meters. Optional the RS232 connection can be established via the terminal block (C5). The pin assignment is shown in Figure 60. The configuration of the LPR-1D unit is described in chapter 5 Commissioning.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System ® LPR -1D Product Documentation 9.3.1 RealTerm (for service port) With a terminal program like RealTerm you can perform more detailed analyzing of the system. Restart the LPR-1D unit before using a terminal program (power off-on) Open now the program RealTerm. In two tabs you have to change the settings: Tab Display: - Choose Display As Ansi - Extend the Rows from 16 to 30 Tab Port: - Change the Baud to 115.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System ® LPR -1D Product Documentation The IP-address is set to the fixed IP address 192.168.1.99 when delivering the system to the customer. To get access to the station you need to set your PC in the network as the LPR unit. 9.4.1 LAN Settings of your PC First you need to disconnect your PC from your network to avoid trouble when changing the IP address of your computer. Now you connect the LPR unit via an Ethernet cable with your PC.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System ® LPR -1D Product Documentation You should get a reply from the LPR unit with the fixed IP-address 192.168.1.99 If the connection failed probably your firewall settings of your PC are set to restrictive or the IP-address of the LPR unit is probably not 192.168.1.99. Please check the settings. Compare also the hint in chapter 9.4.1. If you have changed the IP address without bearing in mind the IP address the IP-address could be detected with the program NetworkScanner.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System ® LPR -1D Product Documentation Tab Port: - Enter the IP-address of the LPR unit and the port: IP-address:port - I.e.: 192.168.1.99:3045 - Click on WinSock is RAW - Open the connection Depending if you are connected to a Group Master unit or a Slave unit characters appear in the window. If you are connected to a Group Master unit a lot of “t” characters appear in case of a failure.
