Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 22 Chapter 5Product Specifications5 Product SpecificationsThis chapter gives you an overview of the following topics:■ Function■ Images■ Technical data5.1 FunctionThe BROOKS Transponder Reader System is a high-frequency identification system that uses FM transmissions.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 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 transponder reader is transmitted to the host computer via ■a serial interface, ■an RS485 interface (requires Brooks LF60 Gateway) or ■an optional Ethernet interface.

The selection of protocol can be made in different ways:■Automatic protocol recognition■Protocol switchover using DIP switches■Protocol setting using DIP switchesAfter a reset the protocol set at present is displayed briefly with the aid of the "Read/Write ok" and Read/Write fail" LEDs ( Reset).CAUTION The RFID Reader LF60C SoliD is designed to be operated by specially trained personnel only. If you have doubts about the required qualifications, contact the manufacturer.Operating the device without special training can result in damage to the reader and/or connected devices.
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 40 Chapter 7Operation7.2.2 Automatic protocol recognition (default)The reader automatically adapts to the relevant protocol by checking and analyzing the first message it receives after a reset. Depending on the data received, the interface is switched over accordingly and reinitialized. This procedure can take several seconds. The messages sent are then lost. The protocol found is used for further communication. Another change can only take place after another reset.Automatic protocol recognition can be deactivated by setting  Parameter 98 (0x62) (from FW SG2S12 / SG2IV1.2: also with DIP1).7.2.3 Protocol switchover using DIP switchesOn power-up reset it is possible to switch the default protocol of the reader. To activate this feature, it is necessary to set DIP switches 5 to 8 to the "ON" state. After the power-up reset, the reader changes the protocol. The new protocol is shown by the LEDs, and the reader waits until the DIP switches are changed.Read/Write Error LED SECS ProtocolRead/Write OK LED ASCII ProtocolThe activation of a DIP switch depends on the value of parameter 36.7.2.4 Protocol setting using DIP switchesA protocol change can also be performed by setting the DIP switches ( DIP switches). From firmware SG2S12 / SG2IV1.2 it is also possible to deactivate automatic switchover and non-adjustably set the appropriate protocol by setting DIP switch 2. At this setting any messages in the other protocol are discarded.ATTENTION If after a reset undefined or random characters are sent to the reader, this can cause an unintentional change in parity or protocol! To prevent this, after making the correct protocol selection, set  Parameter 98 (0x62) (or from firmware SG2S12 / SG2IV1.2: with DIP switches 1 and 2).Switch # Protocol change function1 - 4 "OFF"5 - 8 "ON"
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 41 Chapter 7Operation7.3 Operation of the ASC-I1 protocol7.3.1 Structure of the communication protocolGeneral remarks:■The communication is done with ASCII packages.■Each reader represents a transponder reader with an RS232 interface or Ethernet interface to which an address from 0 to E can be assigned. When the reader is delivered, the address is 0.■After each command to the reader, a defined response is sent. We recommend waiting for this response before sending a new command.7.3.2 Package contentsGeneral remarks:Each package includes a package header (three characters), a message (two or more characters) and the end of the package (five characters).Package header The header includes the start character (one character) and the package length (two characters).The message length describes the number of characters of a message.Package header Message End of packagePackage headerStart Length 1 Length 2Start Start character (ASCII character ´S´)Length 1 High byte package length (hexadecimal)ASCII character ´0´..´F´Length 2 Low byte package length (hexadecimal)ASCII character ´0´..´F´

Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 64 Chapter 7Operation7.4 Operation of SECS/HSMS Protocol7.4.1 IntroductionThe 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 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-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.
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 65 Chapter 7Operation7.4.2 SECS-I implementationThis message set describes the communication between a SECS-I reader and a host. The host and the transponder 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.Block transferprotocol The gateway uses an interpretation of SECS-I by a serial transport layer. The following are some points to note about this implementation.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.<ENQ> 0x05 Request to send<EOT> 0x04 Empfangsbereit<ACK> 0x06 Korrekter Empfang<NAK> 0x15 Fehlerhafter Empfang
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 66 Chapter 7OperationMessage blockstructure 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.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 device ID is a definite number to contact the reader.The device ID consists of the 8-bit gateway ID (bit 0 - bit 7), which is identical with the last two characters of the reader's serial number, and a 5-bit fixed reader number (bit 8 - bit 14 = 0x01).Of course, the ID can be changed within the valid scope.Byte msb DescriptionLength 0Length without checksum, 10 - 2541 R Upper device ID (Reader ID)2Lower device ID (Gateway ID)3 W Upper message ID (Stream)4Lower message ID (Function)5 E Upper block number6Lower block numberSystem bytes7System byte 18System byte 29System byte 310 System byte 4Text 11 - 254 message text, user dataCheck sum 255, 256 16-bit unsigned checksum
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 67 Chapter 7OperationDirection reader to host 0x81xx *Direction Host to equipment (reader)0x01xx ** The serial number is located on a label on the reader.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.Upper device ID R-bit 0 0 0 0 0 1Lower device ID Last two digits of the serial number
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 68 Chapter 7OperationBlock transferprotocol 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.For more detailed information about all possible cases, see SEMI E4.(SEMI Equipment Communication Standard 1 Message Transfer SECS-I)
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 69 Chapter 7Operation7.4.3 HSMS optionThe 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 3241If 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.7.4.4 HSMS implementationHSMS 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 CONNECTEDThe 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.CONNECTEDA TCP/IP connection has been established. This status has two sub-statuses, NOT SELECTED and SELECTED.
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 70 Chapter 7OperationB - NOT SELECTEDA sub-status of CONNECTED in which no HSMS session has been established or any previously established HSMS sessions have ended.C - SELECTEDA 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 Interface), etc.#Current status Trigger New status Comment1 ... Local entity-specific preparation for TCP/IP communicationNot connected Action depends on connection procedure to be used: active or passive.2 Not connected A TCP/IP connection is established for HSMS communication.Connected - Not selected None3 Connected Breaking of TCP connection Not connected HSMS only permits termination of the connection when the connection is in the Not selected sub-status.4 Not selected Successful completion of HSMS Select procedure.Selected HSMS communication is now fully established: data message exchange is permitted.5 Selected Successful completion of HSMS Deselect or Separate.Not selected This transition normally indicates the end of HSMS communication; an entity would immediately proceed to break the TCP/IP connection.6 Not selected T7 connection timeout Not connected There is a time limit on how long an entity is required to remain in the Not selected status before either entering in Selected status or returning to Not connected status.
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 71 Chapter 7OperationHSMS messageexchangeproceduresHSMS defines the procedures for all message exchanges between entities across the TCP/IP connection established according to the procedures in the previous section. As explained in the overview, once the connection is established, the two entities establish HSMS communications with the Select procedure. The data messages may be exchanged in any direction at any time. When the entities wish to end HSMS communication, the Deselect or Separate procedure is used to terminate the HSMS communication.
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 72 Chapter 7OperationHSMS messageformat This section defines the detailed format of the messages used by the procedures in the previous section. An HSMS message is transmitted as a single continuous stream of bytes in the following order:The minimum possible message length is 10 (header only). The maximum possible message length depends on SECS-I.Number of bytes Description4 bytes Message length. MSB first. Specifies the number of bytes in the message header plus the message text.10 bytes Message header0 - n bytes Message text. Format is further specified by P-type field of message header. The message text corresponds to message data by SECS-II encoding.
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 73 Chapter 7OperationHSMS messageheader 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.Bytes Description0-1 Session ID (Device ID)2Header byte 23Header byte 34P-type5S-type6-9 System bytes
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 74 Chapter 7OperationS-type (session type) is a 1-byte unsigned integer value which occupies header byte 5.The system bytes are used to uniquely identify a transaction among the set of open transactions.

Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 76 Chapter 7Operation7.4.5 SECS-II implementationIntroduction 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 transponder 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.
Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 77 Chapter 7OperationA 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 format type 0. However, the length byte refers to the number of elements in the list rather than to the number of bytes.Byte Name Description0Format and number of the length bytesThe data format is coded in the upper 6 bits. The two less significant bits determine the number of the following length bytes.11-21-3Length 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.

Product Manual - RFID Reader LF60C SoliD 107 Chapter 7Operation7.4.7 SEMI E99Introduction 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.
