ses imagotag Hermes GEN 2 3 Wire Bus for Power and Data Instruction Manual

Introduction

The Hermes Gen 2 is a design based on a 3-wire bus for power and data which is built into an aluminium rail. Rail displays are using mechanical contact to connect to the bus.

The Rail Controller includes a radio component to receive and send wireless transmissions to the Access Point. The radio is based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology and is operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The protocol implementation is called “RAN2.0”

Components

• Rail – aluminium rail + 3-wire bus
• Rail Controller – “bridge” between radio and 3-wire bus of the rail
• Battery pack – non-rechargeable
• Rail Displays – E-ink displays
• BLE Access Point – transmitter device
