5.1 Function
The BROOKS RFID Reader LF80C ZeniD 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 RFID reader is transmitted to the host computer
via a serial interface.

5.4 Description of the Components
Component Description
LF module Via the antenna the LF module supplies the
transponder with energy and it transmits the
received data to the controller.
Tuning LEDs The six Tuning LEDs show the switch status of
the adjustment relays.
RS232 interface The data are passed down serially to one of the
two RS232 interfaces (9-pin Sub-D female
plug) with the different protocols. 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.

6.5 Antenna Installation
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
detuned 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.
Transponder parallel to the axis of the antenna:

I - Set tuning of the
RF module
Depending on the surroundings of the antenna it might be necessary to
tune the RF module to get the optimal reading/writing range for this special
installation environment. 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 - ON
Bit 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.
If no reasonable calibration was found, the error "5 - Invalid" is sent instead
of the confirmation, and all capacitors are switched ON.

7.3 Operation of SECS Protocol
7.3.1 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 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

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.
7.3.2 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.
Block transfer
protocol
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 Ready to receive
<ACK> 0x06 Correct reception
<NAK> 0x15 Incorrect reception
Brooks Automation
278580 Revision A 65
LF80C ZeniD RFID Reader 7 Operation
Product Manual 7.3 Operation of SECS Protocol
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.
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.

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>.

LF80C ZeniD RFID Reader 7 Operation
Product Manual 7.3 Operation of SECS Protocol
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.

7.3.3 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.
7.3.4 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.
Brooks Automation
278580 Revision A 69
LF80C ZeniD RFID Reader 7 Operation
Product Manual 7.3 Operation of SECS Protocol
B - NOT SELECTED
A sub-status of CONNECTED in which no HSMS session has been
established or any previously established HSMS sessions have ended.
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
Interface), etc.

exchange procedures
HSMS 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.

HSMS message
format
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 Description
4 bytes Message length. MSB first. Specifies the number of
bytes in the message header plus the message text.
10 bytes Message header
0 - 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.

HSMS message
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.
S-type (session type) is a 1-byte unsigned integer value which occupies
header byte 5.

7.3.5 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.
Byte Name Description
0Format 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.
Brooks Automation
278580 Revision A 75
LF80C ZeniD RFID Reader 7 Operation
Product Manual 7.3 Operation of SECS Protocol
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
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:

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.

The host wants to write a new material ID to any transponder. The reader
confirms the success of the write MID command with SSACK "NO". Note:
the material ID can be changed only if the reader is in the maintenance
state (MANT).
If the reader remains in the IDLE state, the command fails and the reader
answers with SSACK "EE" (execute error).

can take up to five seconds. In the first step of these self-tests, all LEDs of
the membrane keyboard light up. In the second step, the reader displays
the key statuses of the membrane keyboard.
If a LED is on, the specified button is active. The input LED signalizes the
ASCII protocol and the output LED signalizes the SECS protocol. If the test
was successful, all LEDs - except for the power LED - go off.
