TRIND® Overview Introduction
1 – Introduction
TRIND® Overview
The Transmitter/Receiver IN Dispenser (TRIND) system is similar to the technology
successfully used by many toll ways. It uses an electronic system located in the pump or
register to “talk” with a miniature radio-like device (a tag). Together, these electronic devices
provide “cashless” access to gasoline, food, and merchandise by charging purchases to a credit
card, check card, or other account you already have. The TRIND system operates on a
dedicated tag identification code. Your credit card or check card account numbers are not
typically used with the tag signal system, which protects your account from unauthorized use.
And if your tag is ever lost or stolen, your liability is limited to the amount set by your
financial institution.
The TRIND device is an option available as a retrofit kit or factory installed device for The
Advantage® Series, MPD®-3, Eclipse®, and Encore® lines of fuel dispensers. The device is
connected to the Card Reader IN Dispenser (CRIND)® device via a Gateway or serial interface
board. In this application, the TRIND device is a software slave to the CRIND and the
associated Point of Sale (POS) Controller/Host. This means that a properly working TRIND
system will look for and read tags, but only when “told” to by the controller, through the
CRIND application.
About TRIND
The TRIND devices are developed to utilize Texas Instruments Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) technology. These devices provide two-way communications between
an interrogator system in the fuel dispenser and the consumer’s hand-held or car mounted
transponder tag. This two-way communication authorizes and records sales, eliminating the
need for the consumer to engage in a cash or credit card transaction.

Introduction How TRIND Works
How TRIND Works
TRIND utilizes Radio Frequency (RF) waves to communicate with a customer’s transponder.
Transmitters located on overhead assemblies transmit radio waves that serve as a “wake up”
call. As a car mounted transponder or hand-held transponder enters the transmitter’s effective
read zone, the transponder is activated. The transponder then transmits a code which is
received by the TRIND antennas mounted overhead or on the option doors.
This transmitted code is communicated from the TRIND to the CRIND unit, and from there to
the POS. The POS system communicates with a host to obtain authorization.
Car mounted transponders are activated when they are within six feet of the front of the
dispenser perpendicular to front of dispenser. Hand-held transponders, usually on a key chain,
function when pointed at a target graphic on the option door. Two-way communication is
indicated when the option door target graphic light comes on, whether by car mount or
hand-held transponder signal.

Systems Overview Hand-held Only Tag System Overview
Hand-held Only Tag System Overview
This product is an option available as a retrofit kit or factory installed equipment in The
Advantage Series, MPD-3, and Encore lines of fuel dispensers. The TRIND Enhanced
Gateway Board (T20678) manages RFID processing and provides simple, generic event
messages to the pump electronics via Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL). In this application,
TRIND is a software slave to the CRIND and the associated POS controller/host. This means
that a properly working LF TRIND system will look for and read tags, but only when told to
by the controller, through the CRIND application.
This system is to be installed in accordance with all UL, FCC, federal, state, and local
regulations. The following block diagram depicts the components for the Hand-held Only Tag
System.

4 – Major Hardware Components
Card Cage Assemblies
There are four main Card Cage versions used for the TRIND system. These four Card Cages
are T20229-G1, T20606-G2, T20606-G3, and T20606-G5. The T20229 Card Cage is no
longer available and is discussed in this manual simply for the service and support of the
installed base. There are other G-levels of the T20606 Card Cage, but these are variations of
the -G2 and -G3. Therefore, being familiar with these base Card Cages and their parts will
provide the technician with valuable information in servicing the other G-levels, if
encountered.
Note: Many parts look similar in the T20229 and T20606 Card Cages, but they are not the
same. Always replace the removed part with the same part number or risk voiding the
UL listings, FCC certifications, warranty, if applicable.
T20229-G1 Card Cage Assembly
The T20229 Card Cage was the installed Card Cage for the original Mobil Speedpass
program. With a few cable changes, this Card Cage can be replaced by the T20606-G2 Card
Cage, which contains the new Multi-port Data Control Board (DCB) from Texas Instruments.

Disassembly and Installation for MPD-3 Units with SID Displays
In some older installations, a screw and two nuts were installed under the Card Cage on Side B
of a unit. This causes the installed Card Cage to rest at an angle, higher on Side B. This
hardware must remain in place to prevent contact between the Card Cage and the SID boards
when the bezel door is closed.
Disassembly and Installation for All MPD-3 Units
In field retrofits, the TRIND units top (center) screw from the Card Cage was removed, and
replaced by tie-wraps at either side after the Card Cage was installed in the cabinet. The Card
Cage can only be removed or installed when separated into two pieces (see Figure 4-5).

AC EMI Line Filter (Q10895)
AC Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Line Filter, is a Corcom dual T section RFI power
line filter. These filters are well suited for low impedance loads where noisy RFI environments
are present. They control pulsed, continuous and/or intermittent interference, insuring
protection of the TRIND equipment from power line noise in addition to protecting the line
from equipment noise.
R20600 and R20719 Transformers
R20600-G1 Transformer is used in the T20229-G2 Card Cage Assembly. R20719-G1
Transformer is used in the T20606-G2 LF/UHF Full System, and Enhanced Gateway System
Card Cages. Each transformer performs step down of 120 VAC to a usable level for the RFID
Power Supply. The R20600 steps 120 VAC down to 60 VAC, which is used by the T20138-G1
Power Supply Board. The R20719 steps 120 VAC down to 24 VAC, which is used by the
T20314-G1 Power Supply Board.
T20138 and T20314 Power Supply Boards
T20138-G1 Power Supply Board is used in the T20229-G1 Full System Card Cage Assembly.
T20314-G1 Power Supply Board is used in T20606 line of Card Cages. The supplies take the
output of their respective AC to AC transformers and make the proper Direct Current (DC)
voltages for use by the TRIND system components. Both supplies utilize a gate-driven Metal-
oxide-semiconductor Field-effect Transistor [MOSFET (for +22 VDC)] and a buck switched
mode power supply (for +5 VDC). Both supplies monitor the current on the output to turn off
the gate drive, rather than fail permanently, should one of the TRIND system components
develop a voltage problem. This arrangement allows for any of the outputs to be shorted
directly to ground with out harming the power supply because it turns itself off until the
problem is discovered and removed, and AC power is cycled.
T20138 Power Supply Board
This board has jump-jack locations to set the dither sync (refer to “Glossary” on page 4-1)
address for the TRIND unit, with a 10-position ribbon cable (at P173) that goes to the DCB
(J6). These addresses only matter to the site itself, not the pump or CRIND.

UHF Receiver Board (Q13564)
Mounted on the DCB, the UHF Receiver Board receives 12 VDC from the DCB. The board
also receives information from UHF antennas over J2A or J2B and processes the UHF signal.
This receiver has to comply with FCC and in-country communication protocols such as ETSI.
For this application the ETSI protocol is required for Asia and Europe.

Card Cage Assemblies Major Hardware Components
The UHF Receiver Module contained on the DCB, handles the uplink signal from the vehicle
tag. It receives the signal from the vehicle tag that transmits data on a UHF carrier, and down
converts and demodulates this signal to binary data. The UHF Receiver also includes the
master oscillator for the DCB and provides all clock signals for other elements within the DCB
to keep signal paths as short as possible. The UHF receive antenna connections are made via
Sub Miniature A (SMA) connectors on Antenna Cables (M00878A001, M00878A002, and
Q13578-01).
Q13579 Transmitter Board
Q13579-01 Transmitter Board is used in the T20229-G1 and T20606-G2 Full System Card
Cages. The Transmitter Board is actually a three-board assembly containing two identical
transmitter modules (one each for Sides A and B) mounted on a larger Printed Circuit Board
(PCB). The Q13579-01 Transmitter Board contains all the functions to activate vehicle tags.
The module includes a carrier board onto which are mounted two transmit-only Radio
Frequency Modules (RFMs), the power supply, oscillator and tuning connector for the RFMs,
logic circuitry to determine RFM selection, power level adjustment capability, and a pulse
width modulation circuit. This board receives +22 VDC, +5 VDC and GND through J6. If this
board is replaced, overhead antennas need to be retuned. The transmitter provides an
approximate 134 kHz signal for TRIND antennas, through JA for Side A and JB for Side B of
the dispenser.

Major Hardware Components TRIND Overhead Antennas
Page 4-14 MDE-3664B TRIND® Start-up, Service, and Parts Manual · June 2013
TRIND Overhead Antennas
Full System TRIND has six antennas, four active and two passive. The active antennas can
further be divided as transmit only (overhead antennas), and transmit and receive [option
door/Customer Interface Module (CIM) door antennas]. All four operate in the LF band at
134.2 kHz. The two passive antennas receive in the UHF Band at 902 MHz (in the US) and at
868 MHz (Asia and Europe), and are used in conjunction with the overhead antennas to utilize
the car tags. There are two basic variations of the full system TRIND. The fundamental
differences are based on the Card Cage and the overhead antennas used. The antennas can be
divided into two sections, the original Mobil antennas (no longer available) and the
single-loop antennas, which are currently being shipped with full system TRIND.
Mobil Overhead Antenna Assembly (T20231)
The Mobil overhead antenna assembly consists of a multiple loop (47 uH) coil for LF
transmission, a tuning board, and sheet metal slot antenna for UHF receive. This assembly is
no longer available, but is still a part of the installed base at Mobil Stations. These antennas
have been replaced by the T20632 family of Overhead Antennas.

TRIND Overhead Antennas Major Hardware Components
Single-loop Overhead Antenna Assembly (T20632)
The Single-loop Overhead Antenna Assemblies (T20632-GX) are made up from a single turn
(loop) antenna; a high-efficiency tuning board, and a UHF receive antenna. These parts are all
mounted in a molded polycarbonate set of boxes and then mounted with brackets on top of the
dispenser. These parts are discussed in further in the following sections.
Note: There are eight different “G” levels of this antenna assembly, due to the different widths
and heights of the dispensers.
T20632 “G” Level Dispenser Antenna is used
G1/G5 Advantage Wide Frame and MPD-3
G2/G6 Advantage Narrow Frame
G3/G7 Encore
G4/G8 Advantage Wide Frame with Exxon® Light Box
SMA connections should be treated with care and not overtightened. The
maximum torque rating on these connectors is usually measured in inch pounds
Too severe a turn or bend in the cable may damage the center conductor or
compromise the shield/drain portion of the cable.
This can result in an observance of intermittent reads or other problems. The poor
performance will in turn generate a premature field service call. Replacing this
cable is labor intensive after the system is installed the first time.
Turns or bends in co-axial cable must be gradual loops, no sharper than a 1-inch
radius (2-inch diameter).
CAUTION
CAUTION
It is critical that the proper tool is used when tuning the overhead antennas on
TRIND systems. Only the Q13631-02 [part of Authorized Service Contractor (ASC)
Tool Kit K94577-01] plastic tuning tool (or similar plastic 0.10-inch hex tool) should
be used for tuning overhead antennas.
Using a metal screwdriver or Allen® wrench has two negative effects. First, a
proper tuning is impossible as the metal of the tool used changes the properties of
the variable inductor used for tuning. Second, the ferrite slug used in the variable
inductor is extremely brittle and is broken or stripped easily by metal tools,
preventing the proper tuning of the antenna.
If the antenna is not properly tuned the read range can be significantly reduced.

TRIND Option Doors with Antennas Major Hardware Components
UHF Antenna (Q13851-01 and Q13851-02)
This antenna is specifically used to receive the UHF response from the vehicle mount tag. It
has a “pigtail” RG-316 co-axial cable with a SMA jack on the other end connected to it for
ease of manufacture and installation purposes. Q13851-01 is intended for domestic use and is
found in the T20632-G1 Card Cage through Single Loop Antenna Assemblies (T20632-G4).
Q13851-02 is intended for international use and is found in the T20632-G5 Card Cage through
Single-loop Antenna Assemblies (T20632-G8).
Antenna Tuning Board (T20579-GX)
The Antenna Tuning Board (T20579-GX) allows the resonance tuning of the low frequency
downlink antenna to match with the Transmitter Module to compensate for product tolerances
at manufacturing, and to achieve the maximum field strength. The antenna circuit is tuned to
resonance by adjusting the ferrite core of the on-board coil with a 0.10-inch hex tuning tool
located in ASC TRIND Tool Kit.
TRIND Option Doors with Antennas
This section provides descriptions and parts information for TRIND options contained in the
doors of The Advantage Series, MDP-3, Encore, and Eclipse dispensers. This version of
TRIND consists of RFID components, including the antenna, mounted on the door. The
antennas used for the option doors on The Advantage Series and Encore/Eclipse, perform
transmit and receive functions and interact directly with a Micro Reader that’s contained on a
light board located in the door. The inductive antennas utilize the magnetic near field (air
interface) generated by the Micro Reader to interact with the hand-held tags.
The Light Micro Reader PCA (T20601-G1/G2) is used on the The Advantage Series and
MPD-3 dispensers. The T20601-G1 Board has red Light Emitting Diode (LEDs), the
T20601-G2 Board has orange LED’s. The LEDs light to provide an indication to the consumer
that the key tag has been read. In addition, the board processes data received from the key tag
antenna, and sends the processed data to the DCB or Enhanced Gateway Board.
The Key-tag Antenna (T20524-G1) is used on The Advantage Series and MPD-3 dispensers.
It connects to the T20601-GX PCA, and is used as an antenna for the key tag portion of the
system. An R20522-G2 Cable provides a connection between the T20524 and T20601 PCAs.
The Light Micro Reader/Antenna PCA (M01218A001/M01218A002) is used on the
Encore/Eclipse dispensers. The M01218A001 Board has red LEDs, M01218A002 Board has
orange LED’s. The board provides indication to the consumer that the tag has been read. In
addition, the board processes data received from the key tag antenna, and sends the process
data to the DCB or Enhanced Gateway Board. The antenna for key-tag portion of the system
has been integrated into this assembly. This board also has the ability to be reconfigured from
red to orange LEDs, and vice versa, in the field.
The “G” level of this board must match the “G” level of the final assembly. Capacitance
values are different between the boards due to the different sizes of the single loop
antenna itself.

Co-axial Cable Tool (Q13628-01)
Co-axial Cable Tool is a hex-socket tool with a slit down its length. Co-axial cables are
(M00878A001, M00878A002, and Q13578-01) are used for transmission from TRIND
overhead antennas and come with hex connectors at either end. The Co-axial Cable Tool
allows the installer to tighten cable connections in tight areas of the TRIND Card Cage and
overhead connection box.
Note: Co-axial cable fits in to the slotted side of the Co-axial Cable Tool, allowing the socket
to surround the hex-head of the cable connector. This allows connections to be made
and tightened straight on, rather than from the side.

Set the multimeter to DC voltage. Connect the red and black leads of the standard multimeter
to the field strength sensor board leads. As the antennas are tuned by incremental adjustments
to the antenna’s variable inductor (similar to a tuning pot), voltage reading increases or
decreases. The field strength sensor board allows you to find the voltage peak, which is the
tuning target.

MPD-3 bezel doors.
Note: Use of the test tags will cause a properly installed and operating TRIND system’s target
logo to light, indicating successful reading. An actual sale is not possible with these
tags.
Car-mount Test Tag
Car-mount test tag is positioned properly when it is 6 feet from the overhead antennas and in a
position that approximates that of a car’s dashboard at the fuel island.
Note: The car tag has a replacable battery that has a life of two to three years.
Tuning Tool (Q13631-01 and Q13631-02
Only the Plastic Tuning Tool [Q13631-01 (or similar plastic 0.10-inch hex tool)], which is a
part of ASC Tool Kit (K94577-01) must be used for tuning overhead antennas. Using a
metal screwdriver or Allen wrench has two negative effects. First, proper tuning is
impossible as the metal of the tool used changes the properties of the variable inductor
used for tuning. Secondly, the ferrite slug used in the variable inductor is extremely brittle
and is broken or stripped easily by metal tools, preventing the proper tuning of the
antenna. If the antenna is not properly tuned, the read range can be significantly reduced.
CAUTION
)
In conjunction with Field Strength Sensor Board (Q13626-01), tuning tools are used to make
variable inductor adjustments to tune the overhead antennas. The tools are plastic and
non-reactive to the variable inductor or board on the overhead antennas, and should only be
used to adjust variable inductor.

The Gateway Board will have the following indicator characteristics when operating properly:
• +5 VDC LED on solid (CR8).
• Blinking Central Processing Unit (CPU) LED (CR6). A dimly lit LED can also indicate
proper operation because the blink rate becomes so fast that the LED appears dimmer than
the +5 VDC LED (CR8).
• Rapidly Blinking CRIND A and B LEDs. Side A is CR4 (TX), CR5 (RX), Side B is CR9
(TX). These LEDs indicate good communication with the CRIND. They mimic the LEDs
on the series of T17764 CRIND Boards. The Encore 500 Series CRIND node has two
TRIND LEDs, D12 and D13, present in board under the TRIND connector.

The Q13563 DCB will have the following indicator characteristics when operating properly:
• VCC and +12 VDC LEDs on solid (D14 and D13, respectively).
• Heartbeat LED (CPU) blinking (D9).
• RS-485 LED’s strobbing rapidly (D2 and D3).
Note: One may watch the communications begin between the Gateway Board and the DCB
with these LEDs. The first several sequences are the waking up of the DCB and then
commands sent down. This LED activity looks spurious. After a few rounds of that
behavior, the RS-485 LEDs will begin firing at a regular pace, indicating that a link has
been established. The RS-485 LEDs fire at a regular pace only when the Gateway
Board is looking for tags. When the CRIND does not want the Gateway to look for tags
(or has never initiated communication with the Gateway), the RS-485 LEDs fire once
every 10 seconds after any initial wakeup.
• When a car tag has been presented, the READ ANT 1 (D8) or READ ANT 3 (D7) LED
will light, depending upon the side.
• If the Bezel Input Output (I/O) error LED (D6) is on, then one of the Light/Micro Reader
Boards is not connected or has lost communication.

Note: The M01560 is a subassembly of Light and Inductor PCB Assembly (M01218).
• SYNC LED blinking (CR1).
• OKT LED on solid (CR2) until a tag is presented, then it will flicker while a key tag is in
the field.
• STAT LED (CR3) blinking in unison with the SYNC LED.
• If these LEDs are solid, then the TRIND has not been told to look for tags, and
consequently will never light the LEDs on the Light/Micro Reader Board.

Testing and Troubleshooting Isolating TRIND from CRIND
Page 8-6 MDE-3664B TRIND® Start-up, Service, and Parts Manual · June 2013
Isolating TRIND from CRIND
To isolate the TRIND system from CRIND, proceed as follows:
1Shut off all power to unit.
2Disconnect either Side A or B Light Micro Reader Cable (R20519-G3) from either J8
(Side B) or J7 (Side A) on the DCB in the TRIND Card Cage, and insert the standalone jumper
in-line (between J8 and P8 or between J7 and P7). For jumper details, refer to “Standalone
Jumper Cable (R20602-G1) for LF/UHF Full System” on page 5-1.
Note: If Standalone Jumper Cable (R20602-G1) or 9 V alkaline battery is not available, unit
can be put in standalone mode by installing jump jack on JP3 on Light/Micro Reader
Board (for information on Isolating TRIND from CRIND, refer to “Light/Micro Reader
PCB (T20446-G1, T20601-GX, M01580A001, and M01580A002)” on page 4-31).
Perform for Side A only for the Card Cage Assembly.
3Remove J4 from DCB.
4Restore power to unit, and test TRIND operation (for information on test TRIND operation,
refer to “Dummy Load Transmitter (R20526)” on page 5-4. If TRIND functions properly the
problem is with CRIND or CRIND related equipment, refer to MDE-2562 CRIND Service
Manual.
Tag Testing
Perform the following procedures to begin TRIND tag testing. To test the full controller drive
capability, do not place TRIND in the standalone mode. Allow the dispenser network to detect
the other subsystems (pump, CRIND, TRIND, etc.). The standalone procedure will verify that
TRIND hardware is good (or not). The standalone procedure isolates TRIND from CRIND.
Car Mounted Test Tags
1Place the unit into the standalone mode. For the appropriate standalone cable connection, refer
to “Standalone Jumper Cable (R20602-G1) for LF/UHF Full System” on page 5-1.
2From Side A of the unit, hold the Car Mount Test Tag, from the ASC TRIND Tool Kit in front
of the unit at a distance of approximately 6 inches from the face of unit. Observe that the door
or faceplate TRIND indicator lights.
3Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Side B.

Hand-held Test Tags
To test the Hand-held Tags, proceed as follows:
1Place the unit into the standalone mode. For the appropriate standalone cable connection, refer
to “Standalone Jumper Cable (R20602-G2) for Enhanced Gateway” on page 5-3.
2From Side A of the unit, point the Hand-held Test Tag, from the ASC TRIND Tool Kit at the
TRIND target graphic (see Figure 8-6). The TRIND indicator lights when the tag is
approximately 3 inches or less away from the target graphic. Repeat for Side B.
Note: If the indicator fails to light, check whether the light on the other side is on; if so, it
indicates a crossing of Side A and B cables. Check the connections.

Alternative Testing Using Laptop
To implement the TRIND testing using the Laptop Tool, proceed as follows:
1Connect laptop to RS-232 port on DCB.
Note: The directory paths shown in steps 2 through 4, are representative of a directory
structure that may be found on a laptop or personal computer. Some directory paths
may differ depending upon the computers software setup and hardware configuration.
2Go to:
“C:\windows program(hyperterminal)\Accessories\Terminal\Settings\Communications”
3Set for:
• 9600 baud
•8 bit
• No parity
• Comm 1
4Then go to:
• Help screen\Antenna scan
• Next, at “Antenna scan”, select 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Note: This tests both antennas.
5From Side A of unit, position the Hand-held Test Tag, from the ASC TRIND Tool Kit in front
of the TRIND target graphic. Observe that the door or faceplate TRIND indicator glows.
6From Side A of unit, hold the Car Mount Test Tag from the ASC TRIND Tool Kit in front of
unit, at a distance of approximately 6 feet from overhead antenna. Observe that the door or
faceplate TRIND indicator glows.
7Repeat steps 5 and 6 for Side B.

Troubleshooting T20229-G1 PCB on Card Cage Assembly Testing and Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting T20229-G1 PCB on Card Cage Assembly
Following tables provide indications and steps to verify board operation and troubleshoot
problems.
Light/Micro Reader Board (T20295-G1)
Light/Micro-reader PCA LEDs provide the best starting point for TRIND troubleshooting
(see following table), whether TRIND is in standalone mode or connected to CRIND and
G-SITE.
The Light/Micro Reader PCA performs two functions:
• Provides the customer with an indication of authorization to begin fueling.
• Communicates hand-held tag information to DCB board.
Connection Function
P180 Receives +5 V, +22 V and GRD from TI/RFID Power Supply.
P181 Hand-held tag information is passed to Micro Reader mounted on Light/Micro Reader. Micro
Reader processed information is passed to DCB for further processing through CRIND to MOC
authorization network.
P182 When authorization is given DCB signals Light/Micro Reader Board to light LEDs through this
connection.
LED Function Indication
CR1 SYNC CR1 and CR3 indicate communications with DCB:
• Pulsing in sync operation is normal.
• Solid on, power is present but communication is not. Check whether both Side A and B
Boards give same indication. If both sides are on solid on, check Gateway and DCB
LEDs as detailed in previous sections.
• If LEDs are out, 5 V power is lost. Check connections to TI/RFID Power Supply and
voltages.
CR3 STAT
CR2 OKT Normal operation will be solid until hand-held tag is presented, at which point it will begin to
faintly flicker. This is observable in daylight, but best observed in low-light situations.

Gateway PCB (T20128-G1)
Normal Operation Abnormal Operation/Failure Cause/Action Required
PWR LED (CR8) constant on;
indicates 5 V supplied
No LED activity. Check TI/RFID Power Supply
PCB for 5 V output.
CPU LED (CR6) continuous rapid
pulse. Blinking CPU LED (CR6).
A dimly lit LED can also indicate
proper operation because the
blink rate has become so fast that
the LED appears dimmer than the
+5 VDC LED (CR8).
No LED activity (indicates
software not running).
Do the following:
• CRIND reset of Gateway may
be stalled. Power TRIND down
and up and verify whether
problem is corrected.
• If not, replace Gateway PCB.
TX (CR4, CR9) and RX (CR5,
CR10) at power up display
asynchronous activity (date
transfer between Gateway and
CRIND), followed by synchronous
activity. TX LEDs indicate data to
CRIND; RX LEDs data from
CRIND.
Either or both RX LEDs on
steady.
If there is serial connection
between CRIND and Gateway is
suspect, do the following:
• P250 on Gateway PCB.
• P258 on CRIND Logic Board.
• R20437-G01 Cable
Either or both RX LEDS blinking
and TX LEDs off indicates
Gateway not responding to
CRIND poll.
Do the following:
• Check address jump jack
settings on CRIND and
Gateway boards for identical
settings (A=A; B=B).
• If address jump jack settings
are correct, replace Gateway
PCB.
Transmitter PCB (Q13579-01)
If tags are not being read, Transmitter PCB may be the cause. To verify that transmitter is
functioning, perform steps in “Tuning Antennas” on page7-5.
Normal Operation Abnormal Operation/Failure Cause/Action Required
3 LEDs (one green, two yellow) lit.
(If ambient noise conditions allow,
can also hear repetitive clicks of
transmitter switchers firing).
• LED 1 (green) indicates 5 V
supplied.
• LED 2 (yellow) indicates Side A
side switch power @ 18 V.
• LED 5 (yellow) indicates Side B
switcher power @ 18 V.
LED 1 is out or dim. Do the following:
• Check for +5 V power supply at
J6 (pin 1 = +22 V; pin 2 = +5 V:
pin 3 = GND).
• If voltage low or non-existent,
unplug J6, cycle power on
TRIND and recheck voltage
with J6 unplugged.
• If voltage is present and correct,
replace Transmitter PCB.
LED 2 or 5 out (only one). Side A or B module failure.
Replace Transmitter PCB.

• LED CR2 (+5 V) on solid.
• LED CR3 (+12 V) on solid.
• CR10 (RS-485 RX) and CR11
(RS-485 TX) pulsing
synchronously.
• CR5 (heartbeat) pulsing.
• CR6 (Read ANT) will light when
tag is read.
CR10 and CR11 not pulsing. Check RS-485 serial connection (J4)*.
CR7 lit (Bezel I/O error). Will only light when a Light/Micro
Reader PCB has a communication
problem.
CR2/CR3 not lit. Check TI/RFID Power Supply Board.
CR6 not lighting. Refer to “Tuning Tool (Q13631-01 and
Q13631-02)” on page 5-6.
CR5 not pulsing. Replace DCB.
*This is serial connection for DCB and Gateway Boards and means by which TRIND talks to G-SITE POS
system.
TI/RFID Power Supply (T20138-G1)
Power supply is gated, a current sensing circuit will turn off the “power rail” if a harmful
situation is detected. A problem on another board will cause a shut-off of power output from
the TI/RFID Power Supply PCB.
To troubleshoot TI/RFID Power Supply:
1Verify the voltage output from TI/RFID (refer to “T20138 and T20314 Power Supply Boards”
on page 4-6).
Note: Voltages are bussed, meaning that output can be checked at a single point on the board.
2If voltage not present or reduced, verify that TI/RFID Power Supply is receiving 60 V from
Transformer at P174.
3If 60 V is present, power down TRIND, remove connector at P173, power up, and recheck
voltage with connector still off.
4If voltage is normal, problem is on DCB (see following table). If problem persists, reconnect
P173, and repeat step 3 for each of the following in sequence (except P173) or until problem
board is located:
Connector Problem Identified (if voltage returns to normal)
P173 DCB

Overview Appendix A - Radio Frequency Identification Defined
Appendix A - Radio Frequency Identification Defined
Overview
The information in this appendix was obtained from Association for Automatic
Identification and Mobility (AIM).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A basic RFID system consists of three components:
1. An antenna or coil.
2. A transmitter/receiver.
3. A tag that is electronically programmed with unique information.
The antenna emits radio signals to activate the tag and read and write data to it. Antennas are
the conduits between the tag and the transceiver, which controls the system’s data acquisition
and communication. Antennas are available in a variety of shapes and sizes; they can be built
into a door frame to receive tag data from persons or things passing through the door, or
mounted on an interstate toll booth to monitor traffic passing by on a freeway. The
electromagnetic field produced by an antenna can be constantly present when multiple tags are
expected continually. If constant interrogation is not required, a sensor device can activate the
field.
Often the antenna is packaged with the transceiver and decoder to become a reader (a.k.a.
interrogator), which can be configured either as a handheld or a fixed-mount device. The
reader emits radio waves in ranges of anywhere from 1 inch to 100 feet or more, depending
upon its power output and the radio frequency used. When an RFID tag passes through the
electromagnetic zone, it detects the reader’s activation signal. The reader decodes the data
encoded in the tag’s integrated circuit (silicon chip) and the data is passed to the host computer
for processing.
RFID tags come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Animal tracking tags, inserted beneath
the skin, can be as small as a pencil lead in diameter and one-half inch in length. Tags can be
screw-shaped to identify trees or wooden items, or credit card shaped for use in access
applications. The anti-theft hard plastic tags attached to merchandise in stores are RFID tags.
In addition, heavy-duty 5X4X2-inch rectangular transponder used to track intermodal
containers or heavy machinery, trucks, and railroad cars for maintenance and tracking
applications are RFID tags.
RFID tags are categorized as either active or passive. Active RFID tags are powered by an
internal battery and are typically read/write, i.e., tag data can be rewritten and/or modified. An
active tag’s memory size varies according to application requirements; some systems operate
with up to 1 MB of memory. In a typical read/write RFID work-in-process system, a tag might
give a machine a set of instructions, and the machine would then report its performance to the
tag. This encoded data would then become part of the tagged part’s history. The battery
supplied power of an active tag generally gives it a longer read range. The trade off is greater
size, greater cost, and a limited operational life (which may yield a maximum of 10 years,
depending upon operating temperatures and battery type).
![](/img.php?id=2656478&img=bg69.png)
Appendix A - Radio Frequency Identification Defined Overview
Page A-2 MDE-3664B TRIND® Start-up, Service, and Parts Manual · June 2013
Passive RFID tags operate without a separate external power source and obtain operating
power generated from the reader. Passive tags are consequently much lighter than active tags,
less expensive, and offer a virtually unlimited operational lifetime. The trade off is that they
have shorter read ranges than active tags and require a higher-powered reader. Read-only tags
are typically passive and are programmed with a unique set of data (usually 32 to 128 bits) that
cannot be modified. Read-only tags most often operate as a license plate into a database, in the
same way as linear barcodes reference a database containing modifiable product-specific
information.
RFID systems are also distinguished by their frequency ranges. Low-frequency (30 kHz to
500 kHz) systems have short reading ranges and lower system costs. They are most commonly
used in security access, asset tracking, and animal identification applications. HF (850 MHz to
950 MHz and 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz) systems, offering long read ranges (greater than 90 feet)
and high reading speeds, are used for such applications as railroad car tracking and automated
toll collection. However, the higher performance of HF RFID systems incurs higher system
costs.
The significant advantage of all types of RFID systems is the noncontact, non-line-of-sight
nature of the technology. Tags can be read through a variety of substances such as snow, fog,
ice, paint, crusted grime, and other visually and environmentally challenging conditions,
where barcodes or other optically read technologies would be useless. RFID tags can also be
read in challenging circumstances at remarkable speeds, in most cases responding in less than
100 milliseconds. The read/write capability of an active RFID system is also a significant
advantage in interactive applications such as work-in-process or maintenance tracking.
Though it is a costlier technology (compared with barcode), RFID has become indispensable
for a wide range of automated data collection and identification applications that would not be
possible otherwise.

What is RFID? Appendix A - Radio Frequency Identification Defined
What is RFID?
The object of any RFID system is to carry data in suitable transponders, generally known as
tags, and to retrieve data, by machine-readable means, at a suitable time and place to satisfy
particular application needs. Data within a tag may provide identification for an item in
manufacture, goods in transit, a location, and the identity of a vehicle, an animal or individual.
By including additional data the prospect is provided for supporting applications through item
specific information or instructions immediately available on reading the tag. For example, the
color of paint for a car body entering a paint spray area on the production line, the set-up
instructions for a flexible manufacturing cell or the manifest to accompany a shipment of
goods.
A system requires, in addition to tags, a means of reading or interrogating the tags and some
means of communicating the data to a host computer or information management system. A
system will also include a facility for entering or programming data into the tags, if this is not
undertaken at source by the manufacturer. Quite often an antenna is distinguished as if it were
a separate part of an RFID system. While its importance justifies the attention it must be seen
as a feature that is present in both readers and tags, essential for the communication between
the two.
To understand and appreciate the capabilities of RFID systems it is required to consider their
constituent parts. It is also required to consider the data flow requirements that influence the
choice of systems and the practicalities of communicating across the air interface. By
considering the system components and their function within the data flow chain it is possible
to grasp most of the important issues that influence the effective application of RFID.
However, it is useful to begin by briefly considering the manner in which wireless
communication is achieved, as the techniques involved have an important bearing upon the
design of the system components.

Appendix A - Radio Frequency Identification Defined Wireless Communication and Air Interface
Page A-4 MDE-3664B TRIND® Start-up, Service, and Parts Manual · June 2013
Wireless Communication and Air Interface
Communication of data between tags and readers is accomplished using wireless
communication. Two methods distinguish and categorize RFID systems, one based upon close
proximity electromagnetic or inductive coupling and one based upon propagating
electromagnetic waves. Coupling is via “antenna” structures forming an integral feature in
both tags and readers. While the term antenna is generally considered more appropriate for
propagating systems, it is also loosely applied to inductive systems.
Transmitting data is subject to the vagaries and influences of the media or channels through
which the data has to pass, including the air interface. Noise, interference and distortion are the
sources of data corruption that arise in practical communication channels that must be guarded
against in seeking to achieve error free data recovery. Moreover, the nature of the data
communication processes, being asynchronous or unsynchronized in nature, requires attention
to the form in which the data is communicated. Structuring the bit stream to accommodate
these needs is often referred to as channel encoding and although transparent to the user of an
RFID system the coding scheme applied appears in system specifications. Various encoding
schemes can be distinguished, each exhibiting different performance features.
To transfer data efficiently via the air interface or space that separates the two communicating
components requires the data to be superimposed upon a rhythmically varying (sinusoidal)
field or carrier wave. This process of superimposition is referred to as modulation, and various
schemes are available for this purposes, each having particular attributes that favor their use.
They are essentially based upon changing the value of one of the primary features of an
alternating sinusoidal source, its amplitude, frequency or phase in accordance with the data
carrying bit stream. On this basis one can distinguish Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK), FSK,
and Phase Shift Keying (PSK).
In addition to non-contact data transfer, wireless communication can also allow
non-line-of-sight communication. However, with very HF systems more directionality is
evident and can be tailored to needs through appropriate antenna design.
Three frequency ranges are generally distinguished for RFID systems: low, intermediate
(medium), and high. The following table summarizes these three frequency ranges, along with
the typical system characteristics and examples of major areas of application.

Wireless Communication and Air Interface Appendix A - Radio Frequency Identification Defined
Three carrier frequencies receiving early attention as representative of the low, intermediate,
and high ranges are 125 KHz, 13.56 MHz, and 2.45 GHz. However, there are eight frequency
bands in use around the world, for RFID applications.
Not all of the countries in the world have access to all of the frequency bands listed above, as
some countries have assigned these bands to other users. Within each country and within each
frequency range there are specific regulations that govern the use of the frequency. These
regulations may apply to power levels and interference as well as frequency tolerances.
Data Transfer Rate and Bandwidth
Choice of field or carrier wave frequency is of primary importance in determining data
transfer rates. In practical terms the rate of data transfer is influenced primarily by the
frequency of the carrier wave or varying field used to carry the data between the tag and its
reader. Generally speaking the higher the frequency the higher the data transfer or throughput
rates that can be achieved. This is intimately linked to bandwidth or range available within the
frequency spectrum for the communication process. The channel bandwidth needs to be at
least twice the bit rate required for the application in mind. Where narrow band allocations are
involved the limitation on data rate can be an important consideration. It is clearly less of an
issue where wide bandwidths are involved. Using the 2.4 - 2.5 GHz spread spectrum band, for
example, 2 MB per second data rates may be achieved, with added noise immunity provided
by the spread spectrum modulation approach. Spread spectrum apart, increasing the
bandwidth allows an increase noise level and a reduction in signal-to-noise ratio. Since it is
generally necessary to ensure a signal is above the noise floor for a given application,
bandwidth is an important consideration in this respect.
Frequency Range Applications and Comments

tagging, access control and track and traceability. Transponder systems that operate in
this band do not need to be licensed in many countries.

different types of applications with different levels of priorities. This includes Railcar and
Tool Road applications. The band has been divided into narrow band sources and wide
band (spread spectrum type) sources. In Region 1 the Gilbarco Security Module (GSM)
telephone network uses the same frequencies.
918 - 926 MHz RFID in Australia for transmitters with Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) less
than 1 watt.
2350 - 2450 MHz A recognized ISM band in most parts of the world. IEEE 802.11 recognizes this band as
acceptable for RF communications and both spread spectrum and narrow band systems
are in use.
5400 - 6800 MHz This band is allocated for future use. The FCC has been requested to provide a spectrum
allocation of 75 MHz in the 5.85 - 5.925 GHz band for Intelligent Transportation Services
use. In France, the TIS system is based on the proposed European pre-standard
(preENV) for vehicle to roadside communications communicating with the roadside via
microwave beacons operating at 5.8 GHz.

Range and Power Levels
The range that can be achieved in an RFID system is essentially determined by:
• The power available at the reader/interrogator to communicate with the tag(s).
• The power available within the tag to respond.
• The environmental conditions and structures, the former being more significant at higher
frequencies including signal to noise ratio.
Although the level of available power is the primary determinant of range the manner and
efficiency in which that power is deployed also influences the range. The field or wave
delivered from an antenna extends into the space surrounding it and its strength diminishes
with respect to distance. The antenna design will determine the shape of the field or
propagation wave delivered, so that range will also be influenced by the angle subtended
between the tag and antenna.
In space free of any obstructions or absorption mechanisms the strength of the field reduces in
inverse proportion to the square of the distance. For a wave propagating through a region in
which reflections can arise from the ground and from obstacles, the reduction in strength can
vary quite considerable, in some cases as an inverse fourth power of the distance. Where
different paths arise in this way the phenomenon is known as “Multi-path attenuation”. At
higher frequencies absorption due to the presence of moisture can further influence range. It is
therefore important in many applications to determine how the environment, internal or
external, can influence the range of communication. Where a number of reflective metal
“obstacles” are to encountered within the application to be considered, and can vary in number
from time to time, it may also be required to establish the implications of such changes
through an appropriate environmental evaluation.
The power within the tag is generally speaking a lot less than from the reader, requiring
sensitive detection capability within the reader to handle the return signals. In some systems
the reader constitutes a receiver and is separate from the interrogation source or transmitter,
particularly if the “up-link” (from transmitter-to-tag) carrier is different from the “down-link”
(from tag-to-reader).
Although it is possible to choose power levels to suit different application needs is not possible
to exercise complete freedom of choice. Like the restrictions on carrier frequencies there are
also legislative constraints on power levels. While 100 - 500 mW are values often quoted for
RFID systems actual values should be confirmed with the appropriate regulatory authorities,
in the countries where the technology is to be applied. The authorities will also be able to
indicate the form in which the power is delivered, pulsed or continuous, and the associated
allowed values.
Having gained some grasp of the data communication parameters and their associated values it
is appropriate to consider, in a little more detail, the components of an RFID system.

Wireless Communication and Air Interface Appendix A - Radio Frequency Identification Defined
Transponders/Tags
The word transponder, derived from TRANSmitter/resPONDER, reveals the function of the
device. The tag responds to a transmitted or communicated request for the data it carries, the
mode of communication between the reader and the tag being by wireless means across the
space or air interface between the two. The term also suggests the essential components that
form an RFID system - tags and a reader or interrogator. Where interrogator is often used as an
alternative to that of reader, a difference is sometime drawn on the basis of a reader together
with a decoder and interface forming the interrogator.
Generally, transponder components are fabricated as low power integrated circuits suitable for
interfacing to external coils, or utilizing “coil-on-chip” technology, for data transfer and power
generation (passive mode).
Basic Features of RFID Transponder
The transponder memory may comprise Read-only Memory (ROM), Random Access
Memory (RAM) and non-volatile programmable memory for data storage depending upon the
type and sophistication of the device. The ROM-based memory is used to accommodate
security data and the transponder operating system instructions which, in conjunction with the
processor or processing logic deals with the internal “house-keeping” functions such as
response delay timing, data flow control and power supply switching. The RAM-based
memory is used to facilitate temporary data storage during transponder interrogation and
response.
The non-volatile programmable memory may take various forms, Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) being typical. It is used to store the
transponder data and needs to be non-volatile to ensure that the data is retained when the
device is in its quiescent or power-saving “sleep” state.
Data buffers are further components of memory, used to temporarily hold incoming data
following demodulation and outgoing data for modulation and interface with the transponder
antenna. The interface circuitry provides the facility to direct and accommodate the
interrogation field energy for powering purposes in passive transponders and triggering of the
transponder response. Where programming is accommodated, facilities must be provided to
accept the data modulated signal and perform the required demodulation and data transfer
processes.
The transponder antenna is the means by which the device senses the interrogating field and,
where appropriate, the programming field and also serves as the means of transmitting the
transponder response to interrogation.
A number of features, in addition to carrier frequency, characterize RFID transponders and
form the basis of device specifications, including:
• Means by which a transponder is powered
• Data carrying options
• Data read rates
• Programming options
• Physical form
•Costs

Powering Tags
Tags require power in order to work, even though the levels are invariably very small
(microwatts to milliwatts). Tags are either passive or active, the designation being determined
entirely by the manner in which the device derives its power.
Active tags are powered by an internal battery and are typically read/write devices. They
usually contain a cell that exhibits a high power-to-weight ratio and are usually capable of
operating over a temperature range of -58 °F (-50 °C) to 158 °F (+70 °C). The use of a battery
means that a sealed active transponder has a finite lifetime. However, a suitable cell coupled to
suitable low power circuitry can ensure functionality for as long as ten or more years,
depending upon the operating temperatures, read/write cycles and usage. The trade-off is
greater size and greater cost compared with passive tags.
In general terms, active transponders allow greater communication range than can be expected
for passive devices, better noise immunity, and higher data transmissions rates when used to
power a higher frequency response mode.
Passive tags operate without an internal battery source, deriving the power to operate from the
field generated by the reader. Passive tags are consequently much lighter than active tags, less
expensive, and offer a virtually unlimited operational lifetime. The trade-off is that they have
shorter read ranges than active tags and require a higher-powered reader. Passive tags are also
constrained in their capacity to store data and the ability to perform well in
electromagnetically noisy environments. Sensitivity and orientation performance may also be
constrained by the limitation on available power. Despite these limitations, passive
transponders offer advantages in terms of cost and longevity. They have an almost indefinite
lifetime and are generally lower on price than active transponders.
Data Carrying Options
Data stored in data carriers invariable require some organization and additions, such as data
identifiers and error detection bits, to satisfy recovery needs. This process is often referred to
as source encoding. Standard numbering systems, such as Uniform Code Council
(UCC)/European Article Numbering (EAN) and associated data defining elements may also
be applied to data stored in tags. The amount of data will of course depend on application and
require an appropriate tag to meet the need. Basically, tags may be used to carry:
• Identifiers, in which a numeric or alphanumeric string is stored for identification purposes
or as an access key to data stored elsewhere in a computer or information management
system, or
• Portable data files, in which information can be organized, for communication or as a
means of initiating actions without recourse to, or in combination with, data stored
elsewhere.
In terms of data capacity tags can be obtained that satisfy needs from single bit to kilobits. The
single bit devices are essentially for surveillance purposes. Retail EAS is the typical
application for such devices, being used to activate an alarm when detected in the interrogating
field. They may also be used in counting applications.

MDE-3664B TRIND® Start-up, Service, and Parts Manual · June 2013 Page A-9
Wireless Communication and Air Interface Appendix A - Radio Frequency Identification Defined
Devices characterized by data storage capacities up to 128 bits are sufficient to hold a serial or
identification number together, possibly, with parity check bits. Such devices may be
manufacturer or user programmable. Tags with data storage capacities up to 512 bits, are
invariably user programmable, and suitable for accommodating identification and other
specific data such as serial numbers, package content, key process instructions or possibly
results of earlier interrogation/response transactions.
Tags characterized by data storage capacities of around 64 kilobyte may be regarded as
carriers for portable data files. With increased capacity the facility can also be provided for
organizing data into fields or pages that may be selectively interrogated during the reading
process.
Data Read Rate
It has already been mentioned that data transfer rate is essentially linked to carrier frequency.
The higher the frequency, generally speaking, the higher the transfer rates. It should also be
appreciated that reading or transferring the data requires a finite period of time, even if rated in
milliseconds, and can be an important consideration in applications where a tag is passing
swiftly through an interrogation or read zone.
Data Programming Options
Depending upon the type of memory a tag contains, the data carried may be Read-only, Write
Once Read Many (WORM) or read/write. Read-only tags are invariably low capacity devices
programmed at source, usually with an identification number. WORM devices are user
programmable devices. Read/write devices are also user-programmable but allowing the user
to change data stored in a tag. Portable programmers may be recognized that also allow
in-field programming of the tag while attached to the item being identified or accompanied.
Physical Form
RFID tags come in a wide variety of physical forms, shapes sizes and protective housings.
Animal tracking tags, inserted beneath the skin, can be as small as a pencil lead in diameter
and ten millimeters in length. Tags can be screw-shaped to identify trees or wooden items, or
credit card shaped for use in access applications. The anti-theft hard plastic tags attached to
merchandise in stores are also RFID tags, as are heavy-duty 120X100X50 mm rectangular
transponders used to track inter-modal containers, or heavy machinery, trucks, and railroad
cars for maintenance and tracking applications.

Appendix A - Radio Frequency Identification Defined Wireless Communication and Air Interface
Page A-10 MDE-3664B TRIND® Start-up, Service, and Parts Manual · June 2013
Costs
The cost of tags obviously depends upon the type and quantities that are purchased. For large
quantities (tens of thousands), the price can range from less than a few tens of pence for
extremely simple tags to tens of pounds for the larger and more sophisticated devices.
Increasing complexity of circuit function, construction, and memory capacity will influence
cost of both transponders and reader/programmers.
The manner in which the transponder is packaged to form a unit will also have a bearing on
cost. Some applications where harsh environments may be expected, such as steel mills,
mines, and car body paint shops, will require mechanically robust, chemical and temperature
tolerant packaging. Such packaging will undoubtedly represent a significant proportion of the
total transponder cost. Generally, low frequency transponders are cheaper than HF devices;
passive transponders are usually cheaper than active transponders.
Reader/Interrogator
The reader/interrogators can differ quite considerably in complexity, depending upon the type
of tags being supported and the functions to be fulfilled. However, the overall function is to
provide the means of communicating with the tags and facilitating data transfer. Functions
performed by the reader may include quite sophisticated signal conditioning, parity error
checking and correction. After the signal from a transponder has been correctly received and
decoded, algorithms may be applied to decide whether the signal is a repeat transmission, and
may then instruct the transponder to cease transmitting. This is known as the “Command
Response Protocol” and is used to circumvent the problem of reading multiple tags in a short
space of time. Using interrogators in this way is sometimes referred to as “Hands Down
Polling”.
An alternative, more secure, but slower tag polling technique is called “Hands Up Polling”
which involves the interrogator looking for tags with specific identities, and interrogating
them in turn. This is contention management, and a variety of techniques have been developed
to improve the process of batch reading. A further approach may use multiple readers,
multiplexed into one interrogator, but with attendant increases in costs.
RF Transponder Programmers
Transponder programmers are the means by which data is delivered to WORM and read/write
tags. Programming is generally carried out off-line, at the beginning of a batch production run,
for example.
For some systems, reprogramming may be carried out on-line, particularly if it is being used as
an interactive portable data file within a production environment. For example, Data may need
to be recorded during each process. Removing the transponder at the end of each process to
read the previous process data, and to program the new data would naturally increase process
time and would detract substantially from the intended flexibility of the application. By
combining the functions of a reader/interrogator and a programmer, data may be appended or
altered in the transponder as required, without compromising the production line.
The range over which the programming can be achieved is generally less than the read range
and in some systems near contact positioning is required. Programmers are also generally
designed to handle a single tag at a time. However, developments are now satisfying the need
for selective programming of a number of tags present within the range of the programmer.

RFID System Categories
RFID systems may be roughly grouped into four categories:
• EAS systems
• Portable Data Capture systems
• Networked systems
• Positioning systems
EAS systems are typically a one-bit system used to sense the presence/absence of an item. The
large use for this technology is in retail stores where each item is tagged and large antenna
readers are placed at each exit of the store to detect unauthorized removal of the item (theft).
Portable data capture systems are characterized by the use of portable data terminals with
integral RFID readers and are used in applications where a high degree of variability in
sourcing required data from tagged items may be exhibited. The hand-held readers/portable
data terminals capture data which is then either transmitted directly to a host information
management system via a Radio Frequency Data Communication (RFDC) link or held for
delivery by line-linkage to the host on a batch processing basis.
Networked systems applications can generally be characterized by fixed position readers
deployed within a given site and connected directly to a networked information management
system. The transponders are positioned on moving or moveable items, or people, depending
upon application.
Positioning systems use transponders to facilitate automated location and navigation support
for guided vehicles. Readers are positioned on the vehicles and linked to an on-board
computer and RFDC link to the host information management system. The transponders are
embedded in the floor of the operating environment and programmed with appropriate
identification and location data. The reader antenna is usually located beneath the vehicle to
allow closer proximity to the embedded transponders.
