The tag features reflect the application requirements for beaconing, excitation and motion sensor integration. For implementation description and detailed functionality please refer to “CT23 Functional Specification”. 1.2 Definitions Excitation Mode – tag transmits its id together with the exciter id when it is woken up by a valid LF field. Motion Mode – tag transmits its id when it is moved. Beacon Mode – tag transmits its ID at pre-determined time intervals. 2 APPLICATION DESCRIPTION CT23 Container tag is designed for maximum versatility. It can transmit when woken up by an Exciter with a valid ID (Excitation Mode) or it can transmit when moved (Motion Mode). CT23 can also work in a configurable Beacon Mode. The Beacon Mode can be set to work indefinitely, time out after a certain amount of time, turn on and off when entering a field with a specific exciter ID or motion. 3 CT23 OPERATION DESCRIPTION 3.1 CT23 General Functions CT23 tag can be set to work in one or any combination of the following modes: Beacon Mode – can be enabled or disabled independently from other modes. The programmable parameters for this mode are: The time interval (minutes and seconds) between two transmissions; The number of messages in a beacon transmission ; Pattern for randomizing messages in a beacon transmission; Means of turning the Beacon Mode on and off in the field. Excitation Mode – can be enabled or disabled independently from other modes. The programmable parameters for this mode are: The number of messages in an excitation transmission; Pattern for randomizing messages in an excitation transmission; Excitation Mode can be enabled permanently or only when tag is moving. Motion Mode – can be enabled or disabled independently from other modes. The programmable parameters for this mode are: The number of messages in the motion activated transmission; The motion extension in seconds: duration of stay in Motion Mode after motion stops; Pattern for randomizing messages in a motion transmission; User Manual V5 CT23 Container Tag RFID-LSCAN Page: 4 of 8 3.2 CT23 Detailed Description of the Operation Modes All modes can be enabled individually and work independently or in any combination. The transmitted UHF message format is the same S23 format for all modes, only the flags fields’ content changes according to the mode. 3.2.1 Excitation Mode. Indicated by the contents of the Control byte. When enabled (WEM=Y), the tag transmits WEP number of messages each time it enters a valid S95, S21 or S23 fields. For a field to be valid, it has to have a special pattern called exciter ID. If different exciter ID fields overlap and a tag moves from one exciter to another it will transmit WEP number of messages each time it “sees” new exciter ID. In situations where we want to register a tag that leaves and re-enters the field with the same exciter ID, the tag has to be out of the field for more than 1s (black out time). If a tag enters LF field but the valid excitation pattern can not be recognized (i.e. overlapping fields or interference), the tag does not transmit anything. When WSE=Y, the Excitation Mode is only active if the tag is in motion. This helps to save battery power. 3.2.2 Motion Mode Indicated by the contents of the transmitted Control byte. When enabled (WMM=Y), the tag transmits WMP number of messages when it is shaken or moved. The tag has to remain motionless for WME seconds before it can recognize the next act of motion and transmit. When WME=0, the motion black out time is 1s. By setting WME to a larger number, we can avoid multiple motion transmissions if the tag’s moving pattern includes frequent starts and stops. 3.2.3 Beacon Mode. Indicated by the contents of the transmitted Control byte. In Beacon Mode the transmissions occur at predetermined intervals that equal to a programmable base time plus a random delay to avoid collisions. When WBM=Y, the tag transmits WBP number of messages every WIM minutes and WIS seconds. When WMM=Y, the tag transmits WMB number of messages every WMI seconds so long as it is in motion. When WEM=Y, the tag transmits WEB number of messages every WEI seconds so long as it is in the valid LF field. Inter-message intervals within each beacon transmission are randomized.
