The CPAC BLE Tag unit is developed by CPAC and enables the operator to store and access asset related data from the phone, tablet or other custom ECU:s connected with a machine though a Bluetooth connection.

Overview

The unit is a rugged wireless unit designed to handle the harsh environments of a construction use case from both vibration and ingress protection perspective. It consists of a durable plastic housing with a removable lid on the back, in order to allow the user to change the battery. It is completely wireless, communicating through Bluetooth Low Power protocol as a peripheral node.
General purpose for the unit is to store and transfer asset related data via Bluetooth protocol to a custom application on a mobile device or custom ECU.

• Access stored pre-defined data on the device memory and transfer to device, (app).
• Access usage data from device and transfer to device, (app).
• Access sensory data from device and transfer data to device, (app).
• Support software upgrade:
• Over-The-Air (OTA) software upgrade of BLE
  • Possible to update BLE chip with new software release by using the app.
• Set-up / Pairing:
• Bluetooth concept is low Energy BLE, security mode 1 and level 2, meaning no authentication paring is used during set-up. Access to services is limited by an optional security code defined by the user for the specific unit.

Installation
