Technical Data
5.1 Function
5.1.1 General
The BROOKS RFID reader system is a radio-frequency identification
system.
The reader of the system sends an electromagnetic field to the battery-free
transponder via the antenna. This activates the transponder and sends the
stored data back to the reader.
The total reading cycle takes less than 100 ms.
Since a sight connection between the transponder and the reader is not
absolutely necessary, the transponder can also be identified through non-
metallic material.
The data received by the RFID reader is transmitted to the RFID CAN
Gateway via:
CAN Bus Interface
Brooks Automation

5.1 Function Product Manual
5.1.2 Basic Functions
The reader can support various basic functions:
Reading of data
Writing of data
Setting and reading reader parameters
Subsystem commands
Read status
5.1.3 Normal Mode
In normal mode the Brooks RFID reader is ready for operation directly after
a hardware reset. ATR60LF also sends an power up event to the host when
it starts up. In this mode it does not perform any independent actions. The
latter usually have to be triggered by the host issuing protocol commands.
The exceptions are sensors and pushbuttons that on some Brooks device
variants are located on the exterior of the housing. Status changes at the
inputs generate messages that are automatically sent to the host, provided
a connection exists.
Individual protocol commands can be sent to the device as soon as the
reader has been connected to the Gateway. For communication the default
settings of the CAN Bus interface have to be observed ( Parameters of the
CAN Bus Interface).
5.1.4 Automatic Reading
Brooks RFID CAN Bus readers provide the option of “Automatic Reading”. In
this case a read operation is performed which is triggered by a sensor. If a
connection exists, the data of the automatic read operation is then sent to
the host immediately.
This automatic read operation is enabled by multiple parameters. After a
defined sensor delay time the reader detects the sensor change. With the
“Watchport” parameter the behavior is defined for when a sensor change
has been detected. With the „PIP_XYZ“ parameters the behavior of the
automatic reading is enabled and adjusted. If the read function has been
enabled, the device performs the automatic read operation independently.

6.5.1 Positioning the Antenna
Reliable reading and writing depends on the distance from and orientation
of the transponder to the antenna.
ATTENTION When installing the antenna, consider the required reading and writing
ranges. The reader can only be used properly if the transponder is
located within the individual reading/writing range of the antenna.
If the transponder is very close to the antenna, the transponder may be
de-tuned by the metal of the antenna and a reading/writing is not
possible. We recommend keeping a minimum distance between
transponder and antenna of about 10 mm.
After antenna installation the antenna should be tuned ( DIP
Switches).

7.5 Operation of the SECS Protocol
7.5.1 Introduction
The SECS-I standard defines a communication interface that is suitable for
exchanging messages between semiconductor processing equipment and a
host. A host is a computer or network of computers that exchanges
information with the equipment to perform/execute production.
The standard does not define the data contained within a message. The
meaning of messages must be determined through a message content
standard such as SEMI Equipment Communications Standard E5 (SECS-II).
This standard provides the means for independent manufacturers to
produce equipment and hosts that can be connected without requiring
specific knowledge of each other.
The SECS-I protocol can be seen as a layered protocol used for point-to -
point communication. The layers within SECS-I are the physical link, the
block transfer protocol and the message protocol.
The standard is not intended to meet the communication needs of all
possible applications. For example, the speed of RS232 may be insufficient
to meet the needs of transferring mass amounts of data or programs in a
short period, such as may be required for high-speed functional test
applications.
In a network, the roles of host and equipment may be assumed by any
party of the network. In this situation, one end of the communications link
must assume the role of the equipment and the other the role of the host.
Electronic Industries Association Standards:
EIA RS-232-C Interface between Data Terminal Equipment and Data
Communication Equipment Employing Serial Binary Data Interchange.
7.5.2 SECS-I Implementation
This message set describes the communication between a SECS-I reader
and a host. The host and the RFID reader communicate via an RS232
interface (SECS-I).
Character structure Data is transmitted or received in a serial bit stream of 10 bits per
character at one of the specified data rates. The standard character has one
start bit (0), 8 data bits and one stop bit (1). All bit transmissions are of the
same duration.
SECS-I performs no parity or other verification of the individual bytes.
Master-Slave The host connects to the reader. If there is a conflict, the host “gives in”
(i.e. receives before sending).
In the course of communication, the reader takes on the role of the master
and the host takes on the role of the slave.

Control characters The four standard handshake codes used in the block transfer protocol are
displayed in the table below.
Message block
structure SECS message blocks have the following form:
The operation of all communication functions above the block transfer
protocol is linked in information contained in a 10-byte data element, called
the header.
The header is always the first 10 bytes of every block sent by the block
transfer protocol.
The length includes all bytes sent after the length byte, excluding the two
checksum bytes. The maximum block length allowed by SECS-I is 254
bytes and the minimum is 10 bytes.

7.5 Operation of the SECS Protocol Product Manual
The reverse bit (R bit) signifies the direction of a message. The R-bit
(msb) is set to 0 for messages to the equipment and to 1 for messages to
the host.
The W bit indicates that the sender of a primary message expects a reply. A
value of 1 in the W bit means that a reply is expected.
The message ID identifies the format and content of the message being
sent.
A primary message is defined as any odd-numbered message.
A secondary message is defined as any even-numbered message.
The end bit determines whether a block is the last block of the message. A
value of 1 means that the block is the last block.
A message sent as more than one block is called a multi-block message.
A block number of 1 is given to the first block, and the block number is
incremented by one for each subsequent block until the entire message is
sent.
As all messages can be sent in one block, the block number always has the
value 1.
The system bytes in the header of each message for a given device ID
must meet the following requirements:
The system bytes of a primary message must be distinct from the
bytes of all currently open transactions initiated from the same
end of the communications link.
The system bytes of the reply message are required to be the
same as the system bytes of the corresponding primary message.
The system bytes are incremented for each primary message.
The checksum is calculated as the numeric sum of the unsigned binary
values of all the bytes, after the length byte and before the checksum and
in a single block.

Block transfer
protocol The drawing below illustrates some simple message interactions between
the host and the equipment. The figure shows the possible handshake
sequence to acquire the status of the equipment.
When the host wants to send, it first sends an <ENQ> and then tries to
read.
If it receives an <EOT>, it sends its message and then expects an <ACK>.
If it receives an <ENQ>, it puts off sending its message, sends an <EOT>
and then reads the other message.
When both the host and the equipment try to send at the same time, the
host must cancel its inquiry, because the host is working in slave mode. It
must first receive the equipment message, because the reader is the
master. Only then can the host send its message.

7.5.3 HSMS Option
The hardware version with an Ethernet interface uses the HSMS protocol. It
works as a HSMS server. That means that it waits for a connection inquiry
of any HOST PC.
TCP/IP: IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Port 3241
If a connection inquiry of any HOST takes place, the reader initializes the
HSMS connection, and the SECS-II messages defined in the message set
are forwarded from the reader to the respective HOST and vice versa.
It is possible to operate all readers connected to the network via one or
several HOST PCs.
But one HSMS reader can only be connected to one HOST at a time.
Use the Brooks Device Discoverer to change the TCP/IP settings.
7.5.4 HSMS Implementation
HSMS defines the procedure for all message exchanges between entities
across the TCP/IP. The HSMS Connection Status Diagram - The HSMS
status machine is illustrated in the diagram below. The behavior described
in this diagram defines the basic requirements of HSMS:
A - NOT CONNECTED
The entity is ready to listen for or to initiate TCP/IP connections, but either
has not yet established any connections or all previously established TCP/IP
connections have been terminated.
CONNECTED
A TCP/IP connection has been established. This status has two sub-
statuses, NOT SELECTED and SELECTED.
B - NOT SELECTED
A sub-status of CONNECTED in which no HSMS session has been
established or any previously established HSMS sessions have ended.
Brooks Automation
260301 Revision A 57
ATR60LF RFID Reader CAN Bus 7 Operation
Product Manual 7.5 Operation of the SECS Protocol
C - SELECTED
A sub-status of CONNECTED in which at least one HSMS session has been
established. This is the normal “operating” status of HSMS: data messages
may be exchanged in this status.
The specification of a required TCP Application Program Interface (API) for
use in implementations is outside the scope of HSMS. An HSMS
implementation may use any TCP/IP API sockets, TLI (Transport Layer

header The message header is a 10-byte field. The bytes in the header are
numbered from byte 0 (first byte transmitted) to byte 9. The format of the
message header is as follows:
The physical byte order is designed to correspond as closely as possible to
the SECS-I header.
The session ID is a 16-bit unsigned integer value, which occupies bytes 0
and 1 of the header (byte 0 is MSB). Its purpose is to provide an
association by reference between control messages and subsequent
messages.
Header byte 2 is used in different ways for different HSMS messages. For
control messages, it contains 0 or a status code. For a data message, it
contains the W bit and SECS stream.
Header byte 3 contains 0 or a status code for control messages. For data
messages, it contains the SECS function.
P-type is an 8-bit unsigned integer value which occupies byte 4 of the
message header; message header and message text are encoded. Only P-
type = 0 is defined by HSMS to mean SECS-II message encoding. For non-
zero P-type values, see SEMI E37.

7.5.5 SECS-II Implementation
Introduction The SEMI Equipment Communication Standard Part 2 (SECS-II) defines
how messages exchanged between intelligent equipment and a host are
interpreted.
It is the intent of this standard to be fully compatible with SEMI Equipment
Communication Standard E4 (SECS-I).
The messages defined in this specification support the typical activities
required for the BROOKS RFID reader.
SECS-II gives form and meaning to messages exchanged between the
equipment and the host using a message transfer protocol, such as SECS-I.
SECS-II defines the method of conveying information between the
equipment and the host in the form of messages.
These messages are organized into categories of activities, called streams,
which contain specific messages, called functions. In SECS-II, messages
are identified by a stream code (0-127, 7 bits) and a function code (0-255,
8 bits). Each combination of stream and function represents a unique
message identification.
SECS-II defines the structure of messages into entities called items and
lists of items. These data structures define the logical divisions of the
message as distinct from the physical division of the message transfer
protocol.
An item is an information packet that has a length and format defined by
the first 2, 3 or 4 bytes of the item. These bytes are called the item header.
The item header consists of the format byte and the length byte as shown
below.
A list is an ordered set of elements, whereby an element can be either an
item or a list. The list header has the same form as an item header with

Length bytes The length corresponds to the number
of the bytes of a data element. In the

Introduction The purpose of the Carrier ID reader/writer functional standard is to
provide a common specification for concepts, behavior and services
provided by a carrier ID reader/writer to an upstream controller. A standard
interface increases the interchangeability of a carrier ID reader/writer, so
that users and equipment suppliers have a wide choice.
Scope:
The interface standard addresses the functional requirements for a
generic carrier ID reader/writer interface with an upstream
controller.
The specification includes the required behavior and required
communications for a carrier ID reader and writer.
The specification does not require, define or prohibit asynchronous
messages sent by the carrier ID reader or writer.
This standard does not purport to address safety issues, if any,
associated with its use.
Status models To facilitate independent control of the individual heads, there are two
separate status models defined, one for the CIDRW subsystem and one for
each individual head. The BROOKS reader combines the CIDRW subsystem
with the head.
The status model for the BROOKS reader is displayed in the status model
below.
