10 1. Introduction 1.1. The OBID i-scan ID ISC.LRU1000 Reader The ID ISC.LRU1000 is the Long Range Reader of the OBID i-scan UHF Product line. The ID ISC.LRU1000 is the most powerful Readers in the OBID i-scan UHF product line. The ID ISC.LRU100 Reader has the largest read range, extensive configuration possibilities and most Reader commands. The base set of commands and features is compatible to the commands of the OBID i- scan product line members. The configuration possibilities of the ID LR.ISCU1000 Reader makes it easy to adapt the Reader to the individual range of applications by soft- and hardware configuration. The powerful transmitter of the ID ISC.LRU1000 is able to deliver different power levels, modulation shapes and frequencies to adapt the Reader to the application requirements and the regional RF rules. The Reader is able to handle 4 antennas to achieve a good read rate in gate application but is also able to use each of this antennas as a single identification point. The receiver of the Reader is able to support different Transponder types and different data rates. The whole RF part of the Reader is controlled by the RF controller. A second controller the Application and Connectivity Controller (ACC) converts the Reader to a powerful and intelligent device, capable of connection to several other devices. The Reader has 4 hardware interface ports, Ethernet, RS232, RS485, and a Compact Flash 2 compatible port to support a WLAN Card. All ports are controlled by the ACC. Further the Reader has digital I/O s for dedicated function or general use. Dedicated functions are triggering or synchronization of the RF Process With the powerful and flexible transmitter and receiver in combination with the update possibility of the RF controller the Reader is a agile multi protocol Reader. The Reader can handle the Transponder protocols , EPC class 1 and EPC Generation 2. The different Transponder protocols can be activated by upgrading the Firmware of the RF Controller. The ACC Firmware can also be update. This allows to adapt the Reader to different application and different interface protocol types. The operation system of the ACC is uclinux. Feig provides a library which allows the user to develop one application to run on the ACC. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 10 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

11 2. Data Transmission between OBID i-scan ID ISC.LRU1000 and Host Five different ways of data transmission between OBID i-scan Readers and host (terminal, PC) are possible. The Host Commands, Buffered Read Mode, Scan Mode and Notification Mode are used for the data exchange between Transponder and host, whereas the Configuration Commands and the Reader Control Commands serves for adapting the Reader parameters to the individual range of applications. The following chart shows which method of data transmission is supported by which interface: interface RS232 RS485 LAN WLAN Configuration Commands Reader Control Commands Host Commands Buffered Read Mode Scan Mode Notification Mode 2.1. Configuration Commands and Control Commands This method of data transmission is used for Reader configuration and the diagnosis via the different Hardware Interfaces of the Reader. The Reader-configuration parameters will be stored in the Reader memory. To store the current configuration during a power down of the Reader the Reader-Configuration has to be stored in the EEPROM. After power up the Reader reads the configuration out of the EEPROM. The Reader control is immediately processed and the response from the Reader contains status or data information of the control command. Host (Terminal / PC /...) Reader parameter- / control command parameter received and stored / control command processed yes no status / data error status FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 11 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

12 2.2. Host Commands The Host Commands provide the exchange of data between a host and Transponders via the Reader as long as the Transponder remains in the detection range of the Reader. Note: During the writing of data on a Transponder, it must be ensured that the Transponder is located within the detection range of the Reader during the entire process. If the Transponder is removed from detection range of the Reader during a writing process, this will cause a loss of data. The Reader to Transponder addressing mode: Addressed mode: Before reading or writing data in addressed mode, the UID of the Transponder has to be known. This is executed by sending the protocol [0x01] Inventory If a Transponder is located within the detection range of the Reader at that time, it answers with its UID. For all following read- / write orders the Transponder must be addressed with its correct UID. The following chart will show the necessary steps for the communication with a Transponder in addressed mode: Host (Terminal / PC /...) Inventory to get the UID Reader Transponder in antenna field? Yes status / number of Transponders / UID No status = no Transponder read data from Transponder with UID Transponder with correct UID in antenna field? Yes No status / Transponder read data status = no Transponder in Reader field write data to Transponder with UID Transponder with correct UID in antenna field? Yes No OK status status = no Transponder in Reader field FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 12 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

13 2.3. Buffered Read Mode The Buffered Read Mode is a high level operating mode to detect Transponders which are within the detection range of the Reader. This operation mode is especially designed for applications which use Transponders to identify objects. The Buffered Read Mode processes all Transponder read data and filter operations to make the user interface transparent to Transponder data and to minimize data transfers between Reader and host. There are only three commands used to control Buffered Read Mode. In this operating mode the Reader automatically selects Transponders which are within the detection range of the Reader and reads their requested data. The read Transponder data is stored in a FIFO organized data buffer. The sampled Transponder data can be read with the 9.4. [0x22] Read Buffer command. This command always reads the first available data sets from the data buffer. However already read data has to be deleted with the 9.6. [0x32] Clear Data Buffer command before the next data sets in the data buffer can be reached with the read command. If the Buffered Read Mode is enabled in the 4.2. CFG1: Interface and Mode configuration block the Reader immediately starts sampling Transponder data after power up. The Buffered Read Mode can be reinitialized with the 9.7. [0x33] Initialize Buffer command. If turned to Buffered Read Mode the Reader answers every valid message with data- or statusprotocol. The answer includes the control byte which has been received by the Reader. Host (Terminal / PC /...) Reader Note: read data Transponder data in data buffer? Yes status / data protocol No status = no valid data clear data Transponder data read? Yes No OK status status = no valid data Only read operations are available with the Buffered Read Mode. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 13 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

14 2.4. Notification Mode The Notification Mode is an extended option of the Buffered Read Mode: queued Transponder data and optionally Input/Status events are notified automatically and asynchronously to a host with the 9.4. [0x22] Read Buffer response protocol. The destination address and the notification conditions can be set in CFG49: Notification Channel configuration block. In general, the notification channel can be used simultaneously with the host interface. In difference to the Buffered Read Mode procedure, a notification is normally not acknowledged by the host. Thus, the deletion of the transferred data with the 9.6. [0x32] Clear Data Buffer command is not provided. As an option, this acknowledgement can be enabled to synchronize the notifications with the host to prevent notification overflow in the host application. The notification message format depends on trigger settings in 4.9. CFG10: Trigger and settings for the read mode in CFG11: Read Mode Read Data and CFG12: Read Mode - Filter as well as settings for the notification trigger in CFG49: Notification Channel. The following table lists the message formats: Notification Trigger: continuous or time-triggered Input/Status Event Data Event Read Trigger disabled Input/Status and Data Events are notified together in one or multiple messages. The message format depends on settings in TR-DATA of CFG11. Read Trigger enabled Notification separately and immediately, if in: CFG11: IN flag in TR-DATA2 is set and CFG12: flag is set for input and/or status to be observed NOTE: One notification can contain more than one input/status event, if multiple events occur at the same time. Notification shortly after notification of input/status event. The message format depends on settings in TR-DATA of CFG11. Notification Trigger: host-triggered Input/Status Event Data Event Independent of Read Trigger Input/Status and Data Events are notified together in one message. The notification is activated by command [0x34] Force Notify Trigger. The message format depends on settings in TR-DATA of CFG11. An additional option of the Notification Mode is the Keepalive message, which can be sent periodically to the host. The Keepalive message transports valuable information about the reader hardware and antenna tuning status. Keepalive messages are always not acknowledged by the host. The Keepalive message should not be mistake with the keepalive option (s. CFG41/CFG43) of a LAN/WLAN connection initiated by a host. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 14 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

15 3. Interface The Reader ID ISC.LRU1000-A has 4 interface ports. The protocol frame of this ports can by different. On the asynchronous serial interface the whole protocol frame is described in 3.2. Serial Data Format and Protocol Frames. The TCP/IP protocol frame is described below Characteristics of TCP/IP protocol If the Reader use the LAN or WLAN interface the data is packaged in TCP/IP protocol frames. This means the whole data format and protocol frame which is described in 3.2. Serial Data Format and Protocol Frames is packaged as the data of TCP/IP protocol frames. If you use the TCP/IP protocol please be aware that the data packaged in the TCP/IP frame is transferred with Protocol frame: Advanced Protocol-Length as describe below. LAN and WLAN sockets on the reader side uses the keepalive option for detecting interrupted connections. The default parameters for keepalive are initialized as listed in the table: Parameter Value Note idle time 5 seconds The reader sends every 5 seconds a keepalive probe which has to be acknowledged by the client repeat count 2 interval 5 second If a keepalive probe is not acknowledged, the reader repeats the probe only two times with an interval of 5 seconds. If the 15 second time span is expired and no keepalive probe response is obtained from the client the connection is closed and the client application must enable a new connection. The keepalive parameters can be modified in the configuration pages for LAN and WLAN. This keepalive option should not be mistake with the Keepalive message for notification mode. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 15 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

16 3.2. Serial Data Format and Protocol Frames The Reader ID ISC.LRU1000-A can be configured by different interfaces and data may be written on Transponders or read from Transponders. The communication between Reader and connected host (terminal, PC, etc.) is executed by means of fixed protocols. The used protocol is intended for data bus use and is equipped with a bus address. During data transfer via the asynchronous interface the Reader supplies the required data or a status byte. The reply contains the transmitted control byte. There is no reply from the Reader if there is a protocol frame failure. Protocol frame: Standard Protocol-Length (up to 255 Byte) Host Reader n-2 n-1 n LENGTH = n COM-ADR CONTROL- BYTE (DATA) LSB CRC16 MSB CRC16 Host Reader (5...n-2) n-1 n LENGTH (n) COM-ADR CONTROL- BYTE STATUS (DATA) LSB CRC16 MSB CRC16 Protocol frame: Advanced Protocol-Length Reader Host (6...n-2) STX (0x02) MSB ALENGTH LSB ALENGTH COM-ADR CONTROL- BYTE (DATA) n-1 n LSB CRC16 MSB CRC16 Host Reader (7...n-2) STX (0x02) MSB ALENGTH LSB ALENGTH COM-ADR CONTROL- BYTE STATUS (DATA) n-1 n LSB CRC16 MSB CRC16 FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 16 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

17 The Reader supports both Protocol frames, standard and advanced protocol frame. The Host application can chose which protocol frame is used. If the host application chose advanced protocol frame the Reader will always response with advanced protocol frame. If the host application chose the Standard Protocol frame the Reader s response will depend on the length of the response. If the host request leads to a response with more than 255 Byte the Reader will chose the advanced protocol frame as response frame otherwise the Reader response uses the standard protocol frame. Information on STX: If the responded protocol of the Reader starts with the STX sign (0x02) the protocol includes more than 255 Byte. Then the protocol length is defined by the 2 Byte Parameter ALENGTH. ALENGTH (n = ): Number of protocol bytes including STX, ALENGTH and CRC16 LENGTH (n = ): Standard Protocol-Length (up to 255 Byte) Number of protocol bytes including LENGTH and CRC16. COM-ADR: address of device in bus mode Note: The Reader can be addressed via COM-ADR 255 at any time! CONTROL-BYTE: Defines the command which the Reader should operate. STATUS: Includes the status message or protocol data from or to the Reader. DATA: Is a optional data field with variable length. The number of DATA byte depends on the command. The data will be sent always as MSB first if the Reader is in the Host Command Mode. CRC16: Cyclic redundancy check of the protocol bytes from 1 to n-2, as specified by CCITT- CRC16 Polynom: x 16 + x 12 + x (0x8408) Start Value: 0xFFFF Direction: Backward FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 17 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

18 Data format: Start bits: 1 Data bits: 8 Stop bits: 1 Parity: even (default) odd none Timing conditions: Starting delay: Before sending a starting sign (length byte) of a protocol, there must be a delay of minimum 5 ms. Host Reader:.. Reaction time Starting delay n ms Host Reader: min. 5 ms Data timeout: Within one protocol, the characters have to follow each other in intervals of maximum 12 ms. max. 12 ms max. 12 ms max. 12 ms Host Reader: Char n Char n+1 Char n CRC16 Calculation Algorithm Polynom: x 16 + x 12 + x CRC_POLYNOM = 0x8408; Start Value: 0xFFFF CRC_PRESET = 0xFFFF; C-Example: unsigned int crc = CRC_PRESET; for (i = 0; i < cnt; i++) /* cnt = number of protocol bytes without CRC */ { crc ^= DATA[i]; for (j = 0; j < 8; j++) { if (crc & 0x0001) crc = (crc >> 1) ^ CRC_POLYNOM; else crc = (crc >> 1); } } FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 18 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

19 4. Configuration Parameters (CFG) The configuration memory of the Reader is organized in configuration blocks of 16 byte each. These are divided into 14 byte configuration parameters and a 2 byte CRC16 checksum. Each of these configuration blocks takes a number (CFG 0...CFG n). Structure of a configuration block in Reader configuration memory and Reader EEPROM (CFG): Byte Contents PARAMETER CRC16 The parameters are stored in two different configuration memory locations: Reader RAM Backup EEPROM (used for storing parameter over power down) Multiple configuration memory locations can be addressed by the value of the parameter CFG-ADR. CFG-ADR: CFGn: memory-address of the required configuration block LOC: specifies the location of the configuration block (RAM / EEPROM) MODE: specifies one or all configuration blocks Bit: Function LOC MODE CFGn: address of configuration block The EEPROM configuration blocks are protected by a 16 bit CRC-checksum. The examination of these checksums is executed after each reset of the Reader. If a checksum error is found, the Reader goes into an error status "EE-Init-Mode" and sets the configuration block which is faulty to the defaultvalues. While the EE-Init-Mode is active, the LED blinks alternately red and green and the Reader answers external commands with the status "0x10 EEPROM Failure". The "EE-Init-Mode" can be exited now by a new reset (cold start or 6.3. [0x63] RF Controller Reset command). If after this the checksums of all data records are correct, the Reader shifts to the configured operation mode. Notes: Malfunctions may occur if parameters are configured outside their described range or if unspecified parameters have been changed! A Firmware update resets the EEPROM to default settings and the Reader goes into the error status EE-Init-mode. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 19 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

These bits or bytes and also any not described bits and bytes must not be changed, as this may cause faulty operation of the Reader FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 20 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

21 4.1. CFG0: Passwords The parameters of the CFG0 configuration block contain the identification codes to personalize the Reader for a user to prevent outside access to some features of the Reader. For security reasons data from this configuration block cannot be read from the host, they are write-only. Also the command 5.4. [0x83] Set Default Configuration isn t available for this configuration block. Byte Contents READER-ID 0x00 0x00 0x00 Default 0x Byte Contents 0x00 CFG_ACCESS 0x00 0x00 Default READER-ID 1 : Defines the password with which the host logs into the Reader for a read / write access to the configuration parameter blocks. CFG_ACCESS 1 : Defines the Configuration blocks which are accessible only if the use has successful login the Reader. Byte: 8 9 Bit: CFG No Byte: Bit: CFG_NO CFG_NO The Bit in CFG_NO defines if the access to the configuration block is free or if the use should login to the Reader to get access to the configuration block. b0 b1 Access if free Access need a login FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 21 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

22 To change the READER-ID you must write to the CFG0 immediately after the Login to the Reader with the command [0xA0] Reader-Login. Notes: A READER-ID = 0x disables the password function. A read with the command 5.1. [0x80] Read Configuration will always get 0x A changed password becomes valid after a System Reset 6.4. [0x64] System Reset. The commands 5.3. [0x82] Save Configuration and 5.4. [0x83] Set Default Configuration doesn t change the CFG0 register if all configuration blocks are used. The command [0xA0] Reader-Login is used to enable configuration data access. Config Protection By means of Config Protection, the access to the configuration parameters stored within the Reader is protected by a 32-bit password, the "READER-ID". This means that only after a "Login" with a valid READER-ID the configuration parameters in the EEPROM of the Reader can be read and changed in the EEPROM of the Reader. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 22 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

23 4.2. CFG1: Interface and Mode The parameters of the CFG1 configuration block contains the data communication settings. Byte x00 0x00 TR- Contents COM-ADR 0x00 BAUD 1 TRANS- FORM 1 RESPONSE- TIME Default 0x00 0x08 0x01 0x00 0x Baud e,8,1 Byte Contents TR- RESPONSE- TIME Default 0x00 0x00 0x00 SCAN- INTERFACE INTERFACE READER - MODE 0xC8 0x00 0x05 0x00 1 sec. COM-ADR: Bus address of the Reader ( ) for communication via the asynchronous interface, especially for applications with the RS485 interface. Notes: Do not configure address 255! Via the COM-ADR 255 in the send protocol, the Reader is able to be addressed at any time. It answers then with the configured address. 1 A reasonableness check is performed by writing this parameter to the Reader. If an error occurs the Reader answers with STATUS = 0x11. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 23 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

24 BAUD 1 : By means of this byte the baud rate of the asynchronous interface can be defined. 0x05: 4800 baud 0x06: 9600 baud 0x07: baud 0x08: baud 0x09: baud 0x0A: baud Note: Changing of BAUD only becomes effective after writing / saving configuration block CFG1 to EEPROM and a reset of the Reader. The Reader set the baud rate to baud, if the user set an invalid baudrate. TRANS-FORM 1 : By means of this byte, several parameters for the data transmission format of the asynchronous interface can be defined. Bit: Function: S D P P: Kind of Parity b00: no Parity b01: even Parity b10: odd Parity b11: - do not use - D: Number of Data Bits b0: 8 Data Bits b1: - do not use - S: Number of Stop Bits b0: 1 Stop Bit b1: - do not use Note: Changing of TRANS-FORM only becomes effective after writing / saving configuration block CFG1 to EEPROM and reset of the Reader. Always 8 Data Bits and 1 Stop Bits should be used 1 A reasonableness check is performed by writing this parameter to the Reader. If an error occurs the Reader answers with STATUS = 0x11. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 24 of 132 H e-ID-B.doc

25 TR-RESPONSE-TIME: By means of this parameter the maximum duration for the Transponder command can be defined. The TR-RESPONSE-TIME starts after the Reader has received a new command. At the latest after the TR-RESPONSE-TIME elapsed the Reader will send an answer protocol. In this case, the current commands between Reader and Transponder are aborted. If this time is too short the Interface Status 0x83 RF Communication Error will appear. Note: max. response duration TR-RESPONSE-TIME * 5 ms TR-RESPONSE-TIME has no effect with the protocols for Reader Configuration and the protocols for Reader Control. The TR-RESPONSE Time must be < Block Timeout in the Host COM-Port settings.
