Bluetooth Card Tab

“BLE Enable” - Yes

This enables BLE functionality

“BLE Scan Type” - Continuous

This differentiates between “periodic" scanning and “continuous” scanning. “Periodic” is based on the Task interval, whereas “continuous” scans all the time at the cost of reduced battery life.

 "Tag Type"

These parameters are dependent on which specific tag type is being looked for.

Log/Upload on Tag Lost/Found

When it finds or loses a tag, these parameters dictate the device's behaviour.

CONTINUOUS Tag Expiry Time (s)

The amount of time of no activity before the tag is considered lost.

CONTINUOUS RSSI Threshold (dbm) Tag Lost/Found

RSSI which defines tag lost/found.

MAC Filter

You can optionally set a MAC address filter so that the device only detects a certain tag.

BLE Num Tags in list to set digital

The above setting sets the number of tags that need to be in the tag list to set a specified DI.

Task 1

For this use case, we must run BLE Action 1 regularly to update the Tag list. This action is what updates the tag list. When the list reaches a certain number of tags (specified in the Bluetooth Card Tab - BLE Num Tags to set digital), Hawk Digital Input 9 (Card DigIn2) is set HIGH.

BLE Action 1

Scan Length and Minimum Tag RSSI

Ignore for Continuous Scanning

Log Taglist

Set “Log Taglist” to “Yes” if you'd like to see the taglist in the logs.

Analog Mappings

Set which analogs you would like to map the tag data to (if required)

Digital Input Monitor 1 (Adv)

“Digital Input” - Input 9 (Card DigIn2)

Choose Card DigIn2 as the DigIn to monitor.

“Run Task on Active” and “Run Task on Inactive” 

Define which Tasks (if any) should be run when the digital input goes active or inactive.

Task 2

Disable the Period Unit. This Task should only be run when the digital input changes.

Action 1 should be defined as the Digital Output Action 1

Digital Output Action 1

Define what Digital Output Action 1 does - which output should be changed.

Timeout (s) defines how long the output is changed for.
