Page: 3 of 8
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this manual is to describe the operation of the Container Tag CT23 designed to be used in an asset tracking
application. 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;
