1 INTRODUCTION 6  HF5x Transponder Reader (SECS1-Protocol), Release 1.4 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 About this Device The BROOKS HF Transponder Reader system is a high-frequency identification system that uses FM transmission. The basic item is a transponder that works as a forgery-proof electronic identity disk.  The reading unit of the system sends an energy impulse via the antenna. The capacitor of the passive, battery-free transponder is charged by this impulse. After that, the transponder returns a signal with the stored data. The total reading cycle takes less than 3 ms. As 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 transponder reader are transmitted via the serial interface.

If you have doubts about the qualification required, contact the manufacturer. Operating the device without special skills can result in damage to the reader and/or connected devices! 5.2 Introduction The SECS-1 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 the production. The standard does not define the data contained within a message. The meaning of messages must be determined through a message contents standard such as SEMI Equipment Communications Standard E5 (SECS-2). 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-1 protocol can be seen as a layered protocol used for point-to-point communication. The layers within SECS-1 are the physical link, block transfer protocol and message protocol. It is not intent of the standard 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 by high-speed functional test applications. In a network, the roles of host and equipment may be assumed by any party in 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.
OPERATION 5  31 HF5x Transponder Reader (SECS1-Protocol), Release 1.4 5.3 SECS-1 Implementation This message set describes the communication between a SECS-1 reader and a host. The host and the transponder reader communicate via an RS232 interface (SECS-1). 5.3.1 Character Structure Data will be 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. SECS1 performs no parity or other verification of the individual bytes. 5.3.2 Block Transfer Protocol The reader will use an interpretation of SECS-1 by a serial transport layer. The following are some points to note about this implementation. 5.3.2.1 Master Slave The host connects to the reader. If there is contention, 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.  5.3.2.2 Control Characters The four standard handshake codes used in the block transfer protocol are displayed in the table below.  <ENQ>  0x05  Request to Send <EOT>  0x04  Ready to Receive <ACK>  0x06 Correct Reception <NAK>  0x15 Incorrect Reception

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-1 is 254 bytes and the minimum is 10 bytes (header only). 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 set to 1 for messages to the host. The device ID is a definite number to contact the reader. The device ID consists of the 8 bit gateway ID (bit0-bit7), which is identical with the last two characters of the readers serial number (default), and a 5 bit fixed reader number (bit8-bit14 = 0x01).   Of course, the ID can be changed within the valid scope.
OPERATION 5  33 HF5x Transponder Reader (SECS1-Protocol), Release 1.4 Upper Device ID Lower Device ID  Direction reader to host: 0x81xx * Direction Host to equipment (BROOKS HF5x reader):  0x01xx * *  …   the serial number is located on a label on the housing lid of each reader  The W-Bit indicates that the sender of a primary message expects a reply. A value of one 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 one 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 those 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 in a single block. 5.3.2.4  Block Transfer Protocol The drawing below illustrates some simple message interactions between the host and the equipment.

5 OPERATION 34  HF5x Transponder Reader (SECS1-Protocol), Release 1.4 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 works in slave mode. First, it must receive the equipment message because the reader is the master. After that the host can send its message. For more detailed information about all possible cases, see SEMI E4.

OPERATION 5  35 HF5x Transponder Reader (SECS1-Protocol), Release 1.4 5.4 SECS-2 Implementation 5.4.1 Introduction The SEMI Equipment Communication Standard Part 2 (SECS-2) defines details 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-1). The messages defined in this specification support the typical activities required for the BROOKS transponder reader. SECS-2 gives form and meaning to messages exchanged between the equipment and the host using a message transfer protocol, such as SECS-1. SECS-2 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-2, messages are identified by a stream code (0-127, 7bits) and a function code (0-255, 8 bits). Each combination of stream and function represents a unique message identification. SECS-2 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.  Byte Name  Description 0  Format and number of the length bytes The data format is coded in the upper 6 bits.  The two less significant bits determine the number of the following length bytes. 1 1-2 1-3 Length-bytes The length corresponds to the number of the bytes of a data element. In the “List” format, the length corresponds to the number of the list elements. The standard does not require the minimum possible number of length-bytes for a given data length Next <Length>  Data  Data bytes of a data element or number of the  data elements in case of the “List” format.
5 OPERATION 36  HF5x Transponder Reader (SECS1-Protocol), Release 1.4 A list is an ordered set of elements, where an element can be either an item or a list. The list header has the same form as an item header with format type 0. However, the length byte refers to the number of elements in the list rather than to the number of bytes. 5.4.2 Data Items The formats represent arrays of types: <type>[number of elements] where <type> is one of the following: Oct-Code Hex-Code Format Meaning  Example 00 01 List List element with the number of the “Length” data elements  <L2>       <A “Hello”>     <B  0x00> 11 25 Boolean 1 – Byte Boolean false = 00 ; true != 00 <Boolean1 0x00> 10 21 Binary Byte sequence of the length “Length”  <B1 0x01> 20 41 ASCII Printable ASCII signs  <A “Hello”> 31 65 I1   1 - Byte signed Integer  <I1 123> 32 69 I2   2 - Byte signed Integer  <I2 –12345> 34 71 I4   4 - Byte signed Integer  <I4 2147483647> 30 61 I8   8 - Byte signed Integer  <I8 931372980293834> 51 A5 U1   1 - Byte unsigned Integer  <U1 0> 52 A9 U2   2 - Byte unsigned Integer  <U2 #empty> 54 B1 U4   4 - Byte unsigned Integer  <U4 429489725> 50 A1 U8   8 - Byte unsigned Integer  <U8 763468676756767> 40 91 F8   8 - Byte floating point  <F8 1.223 e204> 44 81 F4   4 - Byte floating point  <F4 -1.23 >

5 OPERATION 60  HF5x Transponder Reader (SECS1-Protocol), Release 1.4  5.5 SEMI E99 5.5.1 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 will increase the interchangeability of a Carrier ID Reader/Writer, so that users and equipment suppliers have a wide range of choice. Scope: 1.  The interface standard addresses the functional requirements for a generic Carrier ID Reader/Writer interface with an upstream controller. 2.  The specification includes the required behavior and required communications for a Carrier ID Reader and Writer. 3.  The specification does not require, define or prohibit asynchronous messages sent by the Carrier ID Reader or Writer. 4.  This standard does not purport to address safety issues, if any, associated with its use.  5.5.2 State Models To facilitate independent control of the individual heads, there are two separate state models defined, one for CIDRW subsystem and one for each individual head. The BROOKS reader combines the CIDRW subsystem with the head.  The state model for the BROOKS reader is displayed in the state model below.
