AdvanGate-200 Advanced features

Use GPO/relay lines

AdvanGate supports Secondary antennas. Each of the Secondary antennas feature a LED light controlled through a GPO line from the Primary unit.

The spare GPO lines can be used to control whatever system we wish.

Let's image we want to use the GPO cable of Secondary #3 to control whatever external device:

• • Configure the system to use the GPO#3

    • Got to Events & Actions tab

    • Click on new

• Adjust new event settings as follows

  • TAG_ALARM: is the event that will trigger the GPO line change

  • High: the event will switch the GPO line to high value.

  • On time: amount of time the line will be high

  • Off time: amount of time the line will be low

  • Total time: the total amount of time the GPO event will last.

The relay output is linked to GPO #9

Speaker sound level

It is possible to adjust the level of the external loud speaker. Follow instructions here.

Autonomous Mode

The Autonomous Mode configuration allows the user to test the AdvanGate performance without any alarm configuration. The purpose of this configuration is only for testing, not for real scenarios.

To set this configuration, enter the AdvanNet manager (Web Application) of AdvanGate, stop the reading and change the configuration to Test Mode:

AdvanCloud

To connect AdvanGate-200 to the cloud using sCloud please follow these instructions.

Events & Actions

You can configure which actions will be a trigger in the available events. For example, the most used events are:

• • TAG_ALARM: This event is created when AdvanGate reads an EPC that triggers an alarm, as was explained in USB-emulation-with-EPC-change-configuration.

Normally these events will trigger a Speaker (sound) and a GPO (light) action for each alarm event:

Adding an external sounder / Tower stack

It is possible to add an external buzzer/sounder and or Tower stack to AdvanGate-200.
