Chapter 2: Theory of Operation
Product Description
The main component of this unit is a transmitter that generates radio waves through an
antenna. This TIRIS1 compatible, low-frequency (134.2 kHz), low-power RF energy is
used to read from or write to a transponder near the antenna. The 134.2 kHz carrier from
the RFID-ASIC is amplified to the proper levels to drive the dual MOSFET power
amplifier. This provides a 12V p-p low impedance drive to the antenna circuit. The
antenna is a series resonant LC circuit resonated at 134.2 kHz to achieve maximum
voltage on the antenna. The RFID Reader/Writer provides serial communication with a
host through an RS-232 port, using SECS protocol. It also supports HSMS protocol on its
LAN Port. Power is supplied by an external source. The Operating program is field
upgradeable using PICkit 2.
The AdvanTag 9180 is designed for versatile installation in many different situations. It
can be installed within OEM tools, within load ports, inside stockers, on WIP racks, in
storage cabinets, etc. Once a power source, an external antenna, and a communication
cable have been connected and the reader's address (TargetID and DeviceID as
described in “ Communications” on page 31) has been set, it is possible to communicate
using Stream 18 SECS messages or ASCII messages (depending on the host protocol
being used).
The software and hardware provide integrated self-test and diagnostics. A watchdog
timer and non-volatile memory provide power-failure recovery.
The AdvanTag 9180 operates on 24V DC (±10%) supplied by an external power source.
Communication is through a RS232 port, CAN Bus port (only for communicating with an
AdvanTag Gateway), or the Ethernet port.
TargetID
TargetID of the ATR9180 is configurable through the S18F3 command; default value = 1,
range = 1–99. The Remote I/O and the Antenna have the same ID.

Chapter 2: Theory of Operation
Using HSMS Protocol as Host
Using HSMS Protocol as Host
The HSMS supported by the ATR 9180 is derived from the SEMI E 37.1-96 single session
HSMS Standard.
The HSMS protocol can only be used in PASSIVE mode. The ATR 9180 would be used
as a PASSIVE device. In this mode of operation, the ATR 9180 opens up a socket that
listens for an incoming connection request from an ACTIVE HSMS host. After the initial
handshake, a connection between the Host and the ATR 9180 is established. Once a
connection had been established, the host and ATR 9180 can exchange messages
between each other.
To establish a connection with an ATR 9180, the following specific information must be
present with the host:
• ATR 9180 IP Address: The IP address of the ATR 9180 must be known to the host
so that a connection request could be made on that address. Please note that
HSMS is an IP address associated protocol thus for HSMS communication IP
address of the Passive entity must be known to the Active entity.
• ATR 9180 Port Number: The ATR 9180 opens a listening socket as mentioned
earlier but the connection is opened on an ETHERNET PORT. This number also
must be used by the Active entity (the host) to establish a connection.
NOTE . . .
IT MIGHT BE NOTED THAT THE IP ADDRESS ASSIGNED TO THE ATR 9180
WOULD BE A STATIC IP ADDRESS AND NOT ONE OBTAINED VIA DHCP SERVER.
THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT HSMS IS AN IP ADDRESS BASED PROTOCOL.
Message Format and Translation
The messages as described in Section 1.1 have to be of the CIDRW SECS and ASCII
standard. The host could communicate with the ATR 9180 on either the RS-232 port or
the ethernet port. On the RS-232 port, the host could communicate over SECS or ASCII
version. When the host communicates over the ethernet, the communication would
happen over the HSMS protocol.
Each CIDRW SECS message (either on the SECS or HSMS port) would have a target ID
in its message body as an item. For example, the command Read MID (S18F9) has the
format
S18F9: 'S18F9' W
<A '##'>. * Target ID.
The item ## represents the Target ID of the node which the host wants to access.
Assuming the host needs to read the MID from node '01', following is the sequence of
operations that would take place:
Page 14 2000-6631-05 Draft Rev. Bx1
AdvanTag 9180 Technical Manual
Chapter 2: Theory of Operation
Using HSMS Protocol as Host
1. Host sends S18F9 command to the ATR 9180.
2. ATR 9180 parses the message for validity of data and format, extracts the Target ID
out of the data stream and then routes it to the correct antenna port.
S18F10
<L[4]
<A '01'> *Target ID
<A 'NO'> *SSACK
<A 'ABCDE'> *MID (Assuming ABCDE was the MID in MicroTag)
<L[4]
< A 'NE' >
< A 'O' >
< A 'IDLE' >
< A 'IDLE' >
>
>.
Messages Supported
The ATR 9180 supports only CIDRW ASCII and CIDRW SECS messages as described in
the message set documents P/N 2000-1455-01 and 2000-1442-01.
For any other message, the ATR sends back an error message saying that the command
is not supported.
Only one message at a time can be sent to the antennas. The host has to receive the
reply of a previous message before sending another message to the same node.
Specifications
• Firmware of the ATR9180 can be upgraded using PICkit 2.
• Can connect to a host on serial port at baud rates of 9600 and 19200.
• Supports a 10 Base-T ethernet connection for HSMS communication.

Data Storage—AdvanTag Reader
Data Storage—AdvanTag Reader
Memory
The 9180 can read/write up to 136 bytes of data from/to the transponder (MicroTag). This
memory is divided into two sections. The first is for Material Identification (MID), which is
configurable using the attribute set and can be up to 136 bytes long (range: 8-136,
standard: 16). The second (Notepad) is for the balance of the memory. The amount of
available MID and Notepad memory is dependent upon the MicroTag used. Two types of
MicroTags are available, single page and seventeen page versions. Each page contains
64 bits, resulting in eight bytes of memory per page. MicroTags are available as read/write
or read only.
MicroTags
The AdvanTag reader can interact with MicroTags with regard to the following information:
SECS communication:
• Are You There - This message is used to perform the heartbeat between the host
and the connected device.
• Read Attribute Request - This message requests the current values of ECID or
SVID of the subsystem component indicated in TargetID.
• Write Attribute Request - This message requests the subsystem to set the value
of ECID of the component specified in TargetID to configure desired behavior.
Only applicable write-able attributes (like ECID) may be used in this message.
• Read Data Request - This message reads the “NOTEPAD” (Linear Memory) sec-
tion of the subsystem component indicated in TargetID.
• Write Data Request - This message writes data to the NOTEPAD section of the
subsystem component indicted in TargetID.
• Read Material ID Request - This message is used to request the subsystem indi-
cated by TargetID to read an MID.
• Write Material ID Request - This message is used to request the subsystem indi-
cated by TargetID to write a Material identifier.
• Subsystem Command Request - This message is used to request the subsystem
indicated in TargetID to perform a specific action. Included in this set are the fol-
lowing commands: SSCMD 04 - LED BLINK/ON/OFF on Node Device; SSCMD
07 - Perform Diagnostics; SSCMD 13 - Reset; SSCMD 15 - Change State;
SSCMD GetStatus.
• Event Report Send - This message is used to send events to the host. Included in
this set are the following commands: CEID 01 - Material (Pod/Cassette) Arrival
Event; CEID 02 Material (pod/Cassette) Removal Event; CEID 08 - Advan-
Tag/LinkManager Power up.
• Read STATE Request - This message will query the CIDRW state of the transition
model.

HSMS Functionality
Single session HSMS protocol derived from the SEMI E37.1-96 standard over TCP/IP.
The unit only communicates over 10Mbps Ethernet speed. The HSMS support is based
on static IP address mechanism. The unit defaults to the following settings on HSMS.
LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS: 128.5.10.93
LOCAL_PORT: 5000
DEFAULT_GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0
SUBNET_MASK: 255.255.0.0
Only the settings shown above are required for establishing and maintaining the HSMS
connection on the ATR 9180.
The ATR 9180 support only the PASSIVE mode of HSMS communication. The host or the
remote entity should be always in the ACTIVE mode of HSMS in order to communicate
with the ATR 9180.
The HSMS functionality of the ATR 9180 is always enabled on the reader. The same unit
can work on HSMS without the need of downloading a different software.
NOTE . . .
THE ATR 9180 ALWAYS DEFAULTS TO THE SECS1 PROTOCOL OVER RS-232
WHEN SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY.
Power Up Sequence of HSMS
When moving on to communicating over HSMS, the user needs to send the S18F3 (Write
Attribute Request) command on the RS-232 port over SECS1 protocol to set the LAN
settings to the required values and power cycle the unit.
The first time when the protocol is switched from SECS1 to HSMS, the power up event
S18F71 – CEID 8 will not be sent to the host. After this point, the software switches to the

Chapter 2: Theory of Operation
Data Storage—AdvanTag Reader
HSMS mode and every subsequent power cycle will result into a power up event sent to
the host after HSMS is connected.
To establish the connection, the host must send a Select.Req message to the ATR 9180
and in response to that, the ATR 9180 will send back a Select.Rsp message to declare
acceptance and HSMS CONNECTION establishment. Any of the CIDRW commands can
be sent after this stage.
HSMS Connection Management
Once the remote entity has dropped the connection, the ATR 9180 detects the break right
away to open up a new socket and get ready to accept a new connection from the remote
entity. The ATR 9180 generates its own Link Test request. It still replies back to the
LinkTest.Req message sent by the remote entity with a LinkTest.Rsp message. All the
CIDRW commands are supported as in the case of the RS-232 mode.
After being IDLE for LinkTest Frequency defined time the ATR 9180 sends a LinkTest.Req
message and starts a T6 timer to wait for LinkTest.Rsp from the remote entity. If the
response is not received during this timeout, the ATR9180 closes the previous socket and
opens a new one. The Host must reconnect on the same port.A similar socket disconnect
will take place when the LAN cable is removed from the ATR or the hub to which the ATR
is connected.
Event-Change Functionality
Event-Change Host communicates with ATR9180 over LAN port on HSMS protocol.
Event-Change functionality supports single sensor per port.
New attributes added:
1. HP_EVENT (Value = ON/OFF). Default value OFF. Set above attributes to ON using
S18F3 commands for HP functionality.
2. On Power up once HSMS is connected to the Host, all the Antenna ports are read and
respective MIDs are stored in the memory.
3. POD Arrival Event read respective Antenna port and MID read is stored in memory
and Event displays MID.
4. POD Removal Event returns MID read from last Arrival Event.

To Host
The AdvanTag reader communicates to the host via RS-232 or LAN ports.
NOTE . . .
THE ATR9180 REMEMBERS THE LAST PROTOCOL USED TO COMMUNICATE. THE
DEFAULT PROTOCOL IS SECS WITH 4 RETRIES.
Read Range
Typical read range of the AdvanTag reader is 10-12 cm. Read range is dependent on the
antenna design and the operational environment in which the antenna is installed. See “
Antenna Performance” on page 38 for further details.
SECS
Refer to the specific protocol documentation concerning Stream 18 SECS messages for
details. The basic functions available are to read and write attributes, read and write
material IDs (MIDs), read and write data, and various subsystem commands such as
turning an LED on or off. Note that the single-page transponders hold an 8 byte MID only
and the multi-page transponders hold a 16-byte MID and 120 bytes of data.
The TargetID (as described in the SEMI E99 and E5 standards) can be set with the
S18F3 command; default value is 1. The SECS I DeviceID can be set through an
attribute. The baud rate can also be set through an attribute setting. Byte format is 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. The SECS I timeouts and retries can be set through attribute
settings; defaults are T1 = 0.5 secs, T2 = 10 secs, T3 = 45 secs, T4 = 45 secs, Retries =
3.

Antenna Performance
Antenna Performance
The AdvanTag antennas work in conjunction with the AdvanTag Reader ATR9180 to read
and write the MicroTag. Communications occur between the antenna and the MicroTag
using very low radio frequency (134.2khz). Performance of these antennas (read and
write distance as well as speed) is affected by the presence of metal and RF generators,
such as color monitors in the antenna communication field.
Read/Write Performance Factors
Factors that influence tag read and write performance:
• Proximity of the tag and antenna
• Length of cable between the AdvanTag Reader and the antenna (including exten-
sion cables)
• Orientation of the tag to the antenna
• Amount of metal adjacent to either the tag or the antenna
• Amount of background EMF in the environment
NOTE . . .
IF AN ANTENNA IS POSITIONED AGAINST A MICROTAG, THE ANTENNA WILL NOT
READ IN MOST CASES. ALL OF THE RESULTS LISTED WERE TESTED IN AN OFFICE
ENVIRONMENT.
RF Field Diagrams
The diagrams accompanying the types of antenna for reference only. Note the following
conditions for each diagram:
• The coil of micro-tag must be completely contained in write area.
• The shaded area in center is a non-write area (null).
• Write ranges are approximately 50% of read ranges.
• The read and write distances cited are for reference only. Ranges are dependent
upon actual installed environment.
• It may not be possible to replicate the same results outside of lab environments
due to a variety of environmental conditions.

Troubleshooting for RS232
Troubleshooting for RS232
Problem
ATR9180 P/N 9701-3651-01 fails to follow normal power up sequence.
1. Turn the ATR9180 power on and observe the Host Controller LED.
It should turn ON for a second and then it should turn OFF. This verifies power-on
sequence and that the software is running.
If the ATR9180 does not follow this power on process then the unit may be defective
or the software is not functioning.
Solution
Upgrade the software using PICkit 2 (refer to upgrade procedure document, PN
2000-6779-01), restart the ATR9180, and observe the power-on sequence.
A successful power-on sequence at this time means that there was no software in the
unit. A failed power-on sequence at this time means that the hardware in the unit may
have been damaged.
• For further information, refer to the SW Release Notes (PN 2000-6719-01).
Problem
No RS232 Communication
Solution
Check for loose connectors and cables.
Use only the cable recommended by Asyst Technologies, Inc. Asyst part number
9700-4859-XX (non-ROHS)/ 9701-2914-XX (RoHS).
NOTE . . .
THE ATR9180 MUST BE RESTARTED AFTER CHANGING TARGET ID USING A
WRITE ATTRIBUTE S18F3 COMMAND.

Troubleshooting for HSMS ATR9180
Problem
No Communications After a Hard Reset
Solution
A brand new ATR9180 on hard reset (see Asyst document 2000-1442-01 for details)
communicates power up event to the Host in SECS protocol. If the host is not present
ATR9180 will go in to retry mode and retry 3 more times before finally timing out. Timeout
is approximately 45 seconds. If you are using ASCII protocol, wait until SECS has
finished retrying. Then send the ASCII message.
NOTE . . .
THE ATR9180 REMEMBERS THE PREVIOUS SUCCESSFUL PROTOCOL IT
COMMUNICATED ON AND WILL CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THAT
MESSAGE SET.
Troubleshooting for HSMS ATR9180
Troubleshooting guide for the 9701-3651-01 ATR 9180
NOTE . . .
THIS ATR WORKS AT ONLY 10 MBPS SPEED.
Problem
ATR 9180 does not respond to ping command
Solution
1. Check the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway settings of the ATR. The IP
address must be unique for every ATR. The subnet mask of the PC and that of the
ATR should be same. The default gateway entry should also be the same.
2. To ensure that the proper software is installed, observe the ethernet LED on the LAN
connector.
3. Try changing the IP address to some other value. If an ATR is used with one address
and another one is connected after disconnecting the first from the network, the new
ATR will not be able to use the same IP address. In this case the new ATR must be
set to a new address.
4. Try clearing the arpcache from the PC.
Refer to the Software Release Notes (2000-6719-01) on how to configure the IP address.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting for HSMS ATR9180
Problem
The LED on the hub does not turn ON
Solution
1. Check the LAN cable used. When connected to a hub, a straight CAT 5 cable must be
used to connect the ATR 9180.
2. The port on which the ATR is connected is bad. Move the ATR cable to some other
port on the hub, and try again.
Problem
No Communication with Tag
Solution
1. Make sure a TIRIS tag is present and positioned in the correct orientation and position
relative to the antenna. See the antenna read/write range graphs for details on the
correction locations.
2. Verify the Antenna is connected properly to ATR9180.
3. Check the orientation of the antenna.
4. Make sure there are no metallic objects within 30mm of the antenna or the TIRIS Tag.
5. Check to ensure that only one TIRIS tag is within the read range of the antenna.
Multiple tags in the read range of the antenna will prohibit reading of any tag.
