Introduction

Roblox Satellite is part of TRUMPF RTLS, a real-time locating system that uses Ultra-Wideband (UWB) pulses for the real-time 3D location of objects in buildings in various industries. Roblox Satellites are used as fixed bases in TRUMPF RTLS. They are synchronized with each other and interface with mobile devices such as WTags and SmartAntennas. The mobile devices are tracked in two modes that can coexist: Multi- Tag Tracking (server-centric) and GPS-like Positioning (device-centric).
TRUMPF RTLS overview

This document includes regulatory information, as well as a detailed hardware specification and a description of its features.
For detailed features and user instructions regarding the complete system, please refer to the TRUMPF RTLS documentation included in the RTLS DELIVERY Pack. The RTLS DELIVERY Pack includes documentation and the related software toolchain, to make the development processes easier. Its contents evolve according to TRUMPF RTLS developments.

Safety and compliance information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. ­
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. ­
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. ­
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTION: This equipment may only be operated indoors. Operation outdoors is in violation of 47 U.S.C. 301 and could subject the operator to serious legal penalties.
CAUTION: This equipment may only be operated as a fixed installation. Mobile operation is in violation of 47 U.S.C. 301 and could subject the operator to serious legal penalties.
CAUTION: UWB devices may not be employed for the operation of toys. Operation on board an aircraft, a ship, or a satellite is prohibited.
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by TRUMPF could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
Roblox Satellites only operate (i.e. receive and transmit UWB signals) within a complete UWB real-time location system TRUMPF RTLS, which must be professionally installed. The installed system is configured to cover only the area inside the building, preventing Roblox Satellites and other UWB devices of the system from emitting UWB signals outdoors. Contact your system administrator if you are unsure as to the extent of coverage.
To comply with FCC RF Exposure requirements the device must be installed to assure a minimum separation distance of 20 cm between the device and any human body during normal operating conditions.

3.4. Equipment needs

  • A device that hosts the location server (industrial PC such as TRUMPF LocBox, preconfigured for TRUMPF RTLS)
  • A PC with an Ethernet connection to access the Web UI of TRUMPF RTLS as well as the maintenance application of the system
  • Accessories for power supply and connection to location server: ­ RJ45 PoE cables, PoE switch or USB external power pack connection ­ Power supply adapter for the device used as location server host (country-specific)
  • In case of repeated power failures or power shutdown procedures, your installation must include an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
  • Holders (optional)
    Example of a standard wired installation

System configurations

4.1. IP assignment for Roblox Satellites Within TRUMPF RTLS, every Roblox Satellite is given its own IP address by a DHCP server. The DHCP server role depends on the networks in the installation environment:

  • Either the device which hosts the location server is used as a DHCP server for Roblox Satellites
  • Or the DHCP server for Roblox Satellites is embedded in the user’s network

For more information about the network configurations, please refer to the RTLS DELIVERY Pack documentation.
4.2. Roblox Satellite used as Wi-Fi access point
Small-scale pre-configured wireless kits can use one Roblox Satellite as a Wi- Fi access point, while the other Roblox Satellites of the installation are Wi- Fi clients. The Roblox Satellite used as a Wi-Fi access point is used as a UWB device as well.
The access point is pre-configured and marked as such on its casing. It is supplied with PoE, while the other Roblox Satellites (Wi-Fi clients) are supplied by external power packs connected with USB C cables.
For more information about the network configurations, please refer to the RTLS DELIVERY Pack documentation.

Deployment instructions

5.1. Roblox Satellite starts To start Roblox Satellite, just connect the corresponding cable: PoE or USB C. If you plug a PoE cable, the green and orange LED on the Ethernet port light on. If you plug a USB cable, a green LED inside the casing lights on.
see table in section 3.1
5.2. Roblox Satellite placement
One simple golden rule ensures the best results when it comes to the deployment: avoid UWB signal deterioration and reflection by maximizing Line of Sight links (LOS) among all the devices included in the system. LOS matters among Roblox Satellites for the quality of synchronization. Of course, it also matters between Roblox Satellites and mobile devices for location precision.

5.3. omlox Satellite control
omlox Satellites are configured and controlled via the Web UI of TRUMPF RTLS or via another application based on a compatible session protocol.
For more information, please refer to the corresponding documentation. It can be either the documentation included in the RTLS DELIVERY Pack or the documentation dedicated to the compatible application.
