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 RFID reader is transmitted to the host computer via a serial interface.

Baud rates of 300 Bd up to 115.2 kBd are possible.Ethernet interface Communication with the device can be carried out via the 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface (IEEE 802.3) with PoE.External output The external output (usually a LED) shows the status of the reader. The behavior of the external output is depending on the sensor triggered automatic reading.The LED remains on until the read operation is complete. The LED goes off if the reader receives confirmation that the page was read, or if an error message occurs.If the host does not return confirmation after the page was read, the LED remains on until either a new read process is started and successfully completed, or until the device is reset.External input A sensor (such as an optical sensor) can be connected to the external input.Fuse TR5 housing, 400 mA T (low-breaking).Tuning LED The antenna's efficiency is optimized by pushing the automatic calibration button. The LED lights up during the calibration process and subsequently goes off when tuning is successful. If a fault occurs, the LED flashes until the next calibration process is successful.Possible faults could be caused by a defective antenna or a strong metallic environment near the antenna.Antenna LED If the antenna sends LF signals (to load a transponder or send data, for example), the LED is activated for this period.

The RF module has 6 capacitors C0 - C5 which can be switched ON or OFF.Each capacitor can be addressed by one bit. This bit is used to activate (1) or disable (2) a capacitor. The tuning can be set manually (not recommended) or automatic tuning can be performed (recommended).0 - OFF1 - ONBit 20 corresponds to capacitor C0.Parameter structure from C0 to C5:For the calibration of the antenna exclusively the automatic calibration (calibration value 0x04) should be used as in this case the antenna sends and receives optimally, that means with maximal range.For special cases (for example reading and writing range shall be reduced) it can be necessary that the efficiency of the antenna has to be reduced by connecting or disconnecting single capacitors. But this should be carried out only by qualified staff.

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 Communication 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

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.7.3.2 SECS-I ImplementationThis 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.Block transfer protocolThe 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 Ready to receive<ACK> 0x06 Correct reception<NAK> 0x15 Incorrect reception

Brooks Automation278580 Revision A 65LF80C ZeniD RFID Reader 7 OperationProduct Manual 7.3 Operation of SECS ProtocolMessage block structureSECS 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 0 Length without checksum, 10 - 254Header1 R Upper device ID (Reader ID)2 Lower device ID (Gateway ID)3 W Upper message ID (Stream)4 Lower message ID (Function)5 E Upper block number6 Lower block numberSystem bytes7 System byte 18 System byte 29 System byte 310 System byte 4Text 11 - 254 Message text, user dataChecksum 255, 256 16-bit unsigned checksum

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 protocolThe 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>.Upper device ID R-bit 0 0 0 0 0 0 1Lower device ID Last two digits of the serial number

Brooks Automation278580 Revision A 67LF80C ZeniD RFID Reader 7 OperationProduct Manual 7.3 Operation of SECS ProtocolIf 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)

Brooks Automation68 278580 Revision A7 Operation LF80C ZeniD RFID Reader7.3 Operation of SECS Protocol Product Manual7.3.3 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.7.3.4 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.

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.#Currentstatus Trigger Newstatus Comment1 ...

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.

Brooks Automation278580 Revision A 71LF80C ZeniD RFID Reader 7 OperationProduct Manual 7.3 Operation of SECS ProtocolHSMS message formatThis 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.

Brooks Automation72 278580 Revision A7 Operation LF80C ZeniD RFID Reader7.3 Operation of SECS Protocol Product ManualHSMS message headerThe 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.S-type (session type) is a 1-byte unsigned integer value which occupies header byte 5.Bytes Description0-1 Session ID (Device ID)2Header byte 23Header byte 34P-type5S-type6-9 System bytesValue Description0 SECS-II Encoding1 - 127 Reserved for subsidiary standards128 - 255 Reserved, not used

Brooks Automation74 278580 Revision A7 Operation LF80C ZeniD RFID Reader7.3 Operation of SECS Protocol Product Manual7.3.5 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 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.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.

Brooks Automation278580 Revision A 75LF80C ZeniD RFID Reader 7 OperationProduct Manual 7.3 Operation of SECS ProtocolA 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.Data items The formats represent arrays of types: <type>[number of elements], whereby <type> is one of the following:Oct- codeHex-code Format Meaning Example00 01 List List element with the number of the "Length" data elements<L2> <A "Hello"> <B 0x00>11 25 Boolean 1-byte Booleanfalse = 00true = 01<Boolean1 0x00>10 21 Binary Byte sequenceof the length "Length"<B1 0x01>20 41 ASCII Printable ASCII characters <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<U8763468676756767>40 91 F8 8-byte floating point <F8 1.223 e204>44 81 F4 4-byte floating point <F4 -1.23 >
