Invalid Due
If this flag shines red the condition „number of equal codes out of number of measurements“ is not met.
This condition is defined through the parameters „Reader Settings: Nequ and Na“.
If the flag shines green the condition is met.
Event Driven
If this flag shines yellow the operation mode „Event Driven Mode“ is selected. The flag corresponds to the
parameter „Operation Mode Settings: Mmain“.
Triggered
If this flag shines yellow the operation mode „Triggered Mode“ is selected. The flag corresponds to the
parameter „Operation Mode Settings: Mmain“.
TX ON
If this flag shines yellow the reader (R) always sends out an interrogating signal. If the flag doesn’t shine
the reader (R) sends out an interrogating signal only if the respective antenna (A) is triggered. The flag
corresponds to the parameter „Operation Mode Setting: MTxuntrig“.
Bias Code
Not yet released!
Nequ/Na
This output mask (OM) shows the values of the parameters „Reader Settings: Nequ/Na“ an. These
parameters are used for the condition „number of equal codes out of number of measurements“.

Mmain / MTxuntrig
Operation mode Mmain MTxuntrig Description
Event Driven Mode TX
On
0 1 The reader (R) always sends out an interrogating signal and the identification
is always activated.
Event Driven Mode TX Off 0 0 The reader (R) sends out an interrogating signal and the identification is
activated only if the trigger input is on „1“.
Triggered Mode TX On 1 1 The reader (R) always sends out an interrogating signal. But the
identification starts only if the reader (R) is triggered.
Three ways to trigger:
• trigger input on „1“
• via telegram
• for test purpose via service PC keyboard „t“
Triggered Mode TX Off 1 0 The reader (R) doesn’t send out an interrogating signal on stand by mode. If
the reader (R) is triggered it sends out an interrogating signal. After a
successful identification or after a certain time the reader (R) returns back to
stand by mode.
Three ways to trigger:
• trigger input on „1“
• via telegram
• for test purpose via service PC keyboard „t“

Mrandom
Random mode means that the reader will be switched on for reading during an allowed interval randomly.
The random mode reduces the mutual influences of the readers by using different time slots.
Antenna toggling is not allowed for random mode. The reader will automatically turn to event driven mode
alternating the antennas as if random mode was not set.

InitDelay1 / InitDelay2
This parameter corresponds to the signal propagation within the reader (R) and the rf cable (C). InitDelay
is set separately for each antenna (A). For the calculation only the length of one rf cable (C) is used; i.e.
the distance between reader (R) and antenna (A).

DelayRange1 / DelayRange2
This parameter defines the length of the reading range which is considered when decoding the signal.
DelayRange is to be set separately for each antenna (A). Please note that you only change the parameter
for the internal decoding. This means that only tags(T) are decoded which are within the limits defined by
the parameters InitDelay and DelayRange. These parameters don’t influence the maximum reachable
reading range of the system.

Ant
There are three possibilities::
• Ant=0 both antennas are alternatively active
• Ant=1 only antenna 1 is active
• Ant=2 only antenna 2 is active
Please note that in triggered mode the trigger event has a higher priority than the parameter „Ant“. This
means that if antenna 2 is triggered at parameter settings „Ant = 1“, antenna 2 nevertheless starts a
decoding.

frequency.

AFAGC
This parameter defines the NF AGC attenuation. Normally it is the best way to set this parameter at „0“,
that means that NF AGC works automatically.

SNR
This parameter defines the threshold for the S/N- signal. If the current S/N ratio of the calibrator is higher
than „SNR“, the S/N- signal is accepted.

DSNRCal
This parameter defines by how much the calibrator has to be stronger than the threshold „SNR“.
DMultiTag
This parameter defines by how much the signal peaks have to be stronger than other peaks possibly
located in the same area.
Navg
This parameter defines the number of averages with the method of approximate moving averaging. This
parameter changes the dynamic of the system decisively. A high value reduces short-time noise signals
but it also makes the system slow.

Advice!
If you want to use the digital outputs, please follow the table 4-10. To set the parameters for the time function in
the chosen operating mode, please follow also the table 4-10. We gladly advise you on defining the parameters
.
Auxmode1 / Auxmode2
There are four ways for the digital output to forward a valid identification:
• Auxmode=0 transparent
• Auxmode=1 filtered
This filter function decides whether the current code N is unequal to the code N-1. In combination with
the time constant Tauxf it is possible to define the duration after which the same code can set the
digital output again without a different tag (T) having passed the identification point in the meantime.
• Auxmode=2 Host triggered
A higher-order system controls the digital output via telegram.
• Auxmode=3 ID acknowledge
If you use only one antenna (Reader settings: Ant=1 or Ant=2) then you have the possibility to indicate
when the host answers the data telegram. The answer telegram is called acknowledge telegram.
Auxfunct1 / Auxfunct2
There are two different timer functions for the digital outputs:
• Auxfunct=0 Impulse
• Auxfunct=1 Delayed turn-off
Tdon1 / Tdon2
This parameter defines the ON delay of the chosen timer function.
Tdoff1 / Tdoff2
This parameter defines the impulse duration (Auxfunct=0) or the OFF delay (Auxfunct=1).
Tauxf1 / Tauxf2
This parameter defines the time constant of the function „Auxmode“.
Auxinv1 / Auxinv2
The output can be inverted.
Ant Auxmode1 Auxmode2
1 1 or 2 3
2 3 1 or 2
Table 4-5: ID acknowledge
Using only Ant1:
When the acknowledge arrives within the duration specified
by the parameter ID_Msg_Timeout, then the digital output
AUX_OUT2 will be „ON“ for the duration specified by the
parameter Tdoff2.
Using only Ant2:
When the acknowledge arrives within the duration specified
by the parameter ID_Msg_Timeout, then the digital output
AUX_OUT1 will be „ON“ for the duration specified by the

from 500 ns up to 4250 ns.
The length of the y-axle corresponds to 128 dB (8 bit resolution).
The diagram shows on the left a calibrator amplitude and then three signal amplitudes.
The left of the two vertical marks, which are defined by the parameters InitDelay and DelayRange, is at
the calibrator amplitude and the right at the last signal amplitude. The range within which the noise for the
S/N ratio is measured is marked in red.

5.1.4 Setup of the InterBus-S (only for WR-1x1x)
The InterBus-S configurations are listed below. Customer specific applications are available.
• The reader logs on as a simple input device with the ID-Code 0x02.
• The data bus width is defined as 1 word (16 bit).
• The coding of the normal codes is handled with packed BCD, i.e. 4 bit per
position for the digits 0...9, 4 positions (0000...9999).
• Messages, which don’t contain any codes, are labeled with a hexadecimal number higher than 9 in the
very highest position. The lowest three BCD-positions contain a respective message code.
• In the initial state the reader (R) sends out the message 0xF000 (READY).
• After the tag (T) has been triggered by an external signal it sends out for one time the identified code
or the message 0xF001 (NO_READ).
After the next InterBus-S cycle it once sends out the READY-Signal one time only until the next trigger
arrives.

5.1.5 Learning by doing
Please carry out the application „Logistics“. Follow the steps below:
1. Connect the hardware components and switch on the reader (R) as described in the user’s manual
„2.45 GHz Ident System Hardware“.
2. Install the Service Software Basic (S01 as described in chapter 2!
3. Build up the test arrangement as described in chapter 5.1.2!
4. Put in the configuration parameter as described in chapter 5.1.3!
5. Press the key „F5“!
6. If all the steps have been carried out successfully you will see the following picture on the screen of the
service PC:
Picture 5-2: successful identification supplied by the Service Software Basic (S01)

5.1.6 Control of the Settings
Check the following points:
1.
6.
2.
8.
3. 4.
7.
5.
Picture 5-3: control picture identification
1. The identification is made with the selected antenna (A).
If not: Correct the parameter „Ant“.
2. The operation mode corresponds to the one that you really want.
If not: Correct the parameters „Mmain“ und „MTxuntrig“.
3. The left mark is at the calibrator.
If not: Correct the parameters „InitDelay“ und „DelayRange“.
4. The right mark is at the last signal peak.
If not: Use the tags (T) which have been configured for your system.
5. S/N is higher than S/N Threshold.
If not: Check the presence and the orientation of the tag (T).
Optimize the whole arrangement; reading range, angles
Reduce the parameter „SNR“; it is a matter of fact that this may reduce the reading
security.
Baumer Ident AG 60 / 61
Author: Clemens Zehnder File: Maintenance-SW.doc Version 3.0 e
6. The ID Valid Flag shines green if the identification is successful.
If not: Repeat steps 1 - 6.
7. The number in the output mask (OM) corresponds to the current tag (T).
If not: The tag structure settings (configuration file) doesn’t correspond to your tags (T). You
have the possibility to change the tag structure with the Service Software Development.
8. The reading security is sufficient.
If not: Raise the parameters „Nequ“ und „Na“.
As a matter of fact this will extend the internal decoding time and reduce the maximum
possible speed of the objects which ought to be identified.
9. The reader status of ant 1 (R09) on the front panel shines green.
10. The detection status of ant 1 (R10) on the front panel shines green.
11. Press „d“ and you will see the outgoing data telegram at the service interface.
Picture 5-1: control picture data

• The Service Software Basic (S01 starts up correctly but the communication to the reader (R)
doesn’t establish itself.
⇒ Activate the interface on your PC.
(Control panel \ System \ device manager \ LPT and COM devices)
• The red LED system failure 1 (R12) shines constantly after start up
⇒ You have the possibility to reset the reader (R) with the keystroke on „r“ on your PC. Or you can just
switch off and on the reader (R) with the mains switch (R35. If the system failure 1 (R12) is still on, the
reader (R) has a problem which cannot be fixed by the user. Please contact us.
