Transponder Identification System

Introduction 1-1

Chapter 1

Introduction

This chapter describes Transponders and their functions, the purpose of the Postal

RFID System and its uses. It also gives information on the 95 Series RFID System

configuration principles.

Transponder Identification System

The purpose of a data capture or identification system that uses a Transponder as an

identification token is:

• To automatically identify animate or inanimate objects having attached a

Transponder with an unique identifier

• To ensure that information is available in a format that can be readily accepted by

acomputer

• To minimize the possibility of errors in the identification process.

The concept of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is presented in Figure 1-1.

RFID Specific Terms

1-2 Introduction

RFID Specific Terms

Transponder Transponders are devices that receive an excitation signal, and respond by

transmitting back a message. Transponders that are used in identification systems

are sometimes referred to as electronic tags or tags.

Excitation Signal The excitation signal may be in the form of electromagnetic energy and can operate

anywhere in the RF spectrum from a low-radio frequency to infra-red light. It can also

have a special signature (pattern, coding, etc.) to avoid false or unwanted excitations.

When there is no excitation signal, the Transponder is dormant (in sleep mode).

Transponders do not transmit information involuntarily.

Response Signal The Transponder’s response can be a separate RF transmission or a supplementary

modulation of the excitation signal. The response signal contains information that

allows you to identify each Transponder and the object to which it is attached. Some

or all of this information may be stored in memory that can either be pre-coded and

unalterable, or reprogrammable.

Reading Points Reading Points are installed at strategic areas on the site where you want to identify

objects that are passing within a specified range. Reading Points generate the

excitation signal and receive signals transmitted by the Transponders. Data captured

from the Transponders is then transferred to the main computer. In so doing, the

Reading Point functions as a relay or an interface that transfers data from the

Transponders to the main computer and vice-versa.

Communication Links When using Transponders and Reading Points, two wireless communication links

exist. They are: Uplink - from the Reading Point to the Transponder, and Downlink -

from the Transponder to the Reading Point.

RFID System Automatic identification systems vary in their complexity. An example of a simple

system is a car-park barrier that provides automatic vehicular-access control. A more

complex example is a network of on-line Readers and Exciters that communicate with

a host computer that is managing an automated industrial facility.

Postal RFID System

The International Postal Corporation (IPC) required international end-to-end mail

performance monitoring to implement new management and financial control

systems. This monitoring and controlling is supported by an international agreement

known as REIMS (Remunerating Exchanges of International Mails).

The Postal RFID System was developed in response to the IPC’s requirements.

The main objective of the Postal RFID System is:

• To monitor the movement of the probe letters at key points in the system

• To supply evidence of mailing system performance

• To highlight problem areas.

95 Series RFID System Configuration Principles

Introduction 1-3

By using aRFID system comprising of a population of Transponders and strategically

placed Readers and Exciters, you can electronically monitor the path of test letters

through the collection and delivery process, particularly at points between Postal

administrations and their agents.

Each probe letter includes a RFID Transponder bearing a unique identification. The

probe letters are posted, sorted, and delivered in the same way as normal letters. As

they pass pre-determined points en-route (Reading Points/identification zones), the

Transponders are identified. The collected information is then read and stored on

local computers. This information is downloaded on demand to a Central

Management System (CMS).

The Postal RFID System includes the following main specific equipment:

• Transponders T95 carrying the identification data

• Exciters E95 to generate an electromagnetic field that excites the Transponder

T95

• Readers R95 to receive data transmitted by the Transponder T95 and to relay this

information via the RS-485 interface to the main computer

• Power Supply TRM95 to power Readers R95 and Exciters E95 from the local AC

main supply.

IMPORTANT Each piece of equipment can have different commercial models (Transponders T95B,

T95C, TRD95, and TBC95), but they behave similarly. This manual refers to them as

a generic T95 model.

95 Series RFID System Configuration Principles

The RFID System is highly configurable, allowing you to setup operational

parameters for the optimum performance of the System. The sections that follow give

some basic information regarding the 95 Series RFID System configuration. A

detailed description of the configuration, with a focus on an IPC implementation, is

giveninChapter5,Configuration and Operation.

Communication Links There are several communication links between the components of the 95 Series RFID

System. As a general rule, all equipment attached to a particular link must have the

same parameters settings to communicate. Some communication links can be

configured, others, however, have fixed configurations, as follows:

• Reader-to-Transponder: excitation (LF=125.0 kHz) - configurable;

writing (infrared) - fixed configuration.

• Transponder-to-Reader (UHF-433.92 MHz) - configurable.

• Reader-to-Exciter and Exciter-to-Reader (RS485_COM, RS485_SGN) - fixed

configuration.

• Reader- to-Main PC and Main PC-to-Reader (RS-232 or RS-485) - configurable.

System Parameters Parameters controlling the 95 Series RFID System’s configuration are logically

organized in groups. For a detailed explanation on the meaning and usage of the

parameters, refer to the 95 Series RFID System Reference Guide. The parameters

95 Series RFID System Configuration Principles

1-4 Introduction

settings that control the hardware configuration, is described in Chapter 3, Theory of

Operation in the 95 Series RFID System Technical Guide. This chapter gives reasons

for using certain parameters for configuring the hardware.

System Code A Reader R95 needs a System Code to function properly. You use the ISC parameter

to set the System Code the first time. The System Code is a specially encoded number

that distinguishes the RFID System from all other similar systems in use. By

obtaining your System Code from Kasten Chase, you are guaranteed a unique System

Code.

Reader Address When a Reader is part of a network, it must have a unique address. The address is set

by the IAD parameter. Once the Reader has an address assigned, it will only process

commands with the address field matching the Reader’s address. In this way, you can

direct commands over the network to a specific Reader.

Real Time Clock The Reader R95 has an on board Real Time Clock. Make sure that the date and time

is correctly set. The time can be queried and set using the IUT parameter. The time

must be adjusted on Jan. 1st and Feb. 29th.

Receiving UHF Data The Reader needs to know the data format in which the Transponder is transmitting

information to properly receive and interpret the information. The Reader’s setting

can be checked and modified by the Group Rparameters.

A simple method of matching an unknown Transponder with the Reader’s parameters

setting is given below:

1. Use the programming setup described in Chapter 6, Programming and Testing

the Transponder T95.

2. Query the Transponder. (See the Q command).

3. Check the Transponder’s parameters using the Group Tparameters.

4. Set an identical set of parameters for the Reader using the Group Rparameters.

Reader Data Handling Data that is captured from the Transponder is usually stored in an internal buffer. It

is then sent to the monitoring equipment either voluntarily (if DAR=Y), or in response

to a query command. You can customize the format and the fields using the Group D

parameters. By setting appropriate values, you can greatly simplify the

implementation of the monitoring software.

Reader Serial Port When setting the serial port parameters, remember that communication with the

monitoring equipment can result in a bottleneck in the RFID System. We recommend,

therefore, using the highest baud-rate available. Also, the line turn-around delay

(STD parameter) can greatly degrade the RFID System’s performance. This

parameter must be set to 0, unless required otherwise. For more information on the

Group Sparameters, refer to the 95 Series RFID System Reference Guide.

Reader Reset TherearetwomainwaystoresettheReader:

•Hardwarereset

• Software reset.

For the hardware reset, switch off the Reader’s power supply for a least 5 seconds.

95 Series RFID System Configuration Principles

Introduction 1-5

For the software reset, press the RESET button on the Motherboard MBD95 twice, or

type the command:

:RESET<Enter>

The software reset resets the Microcontroller. The hardware reset resets the

Microcontroller and runs a complete memory test.

Exciter Address When an Exciter E95 is part of a network, it must have an unique address. You can

set the Exciter’s address in a binary format between 0001 and 1110, using the S1

switch on the EXT95SC board.

Once an address is assigned, the Exciter will only process commands with a matching

address field. In this way, you can direct commands in the network to a specific

Exciter E95.

Note Addresses 0000 and 1111 are reserved for special modes of operation.

Check the TAP voltage [VTAP] at the terminal block TB2 on the EXT95SC board

(see Figure 5-3) using an oscilloscope. The signal must be a continuous

unmodulated carrier of 128.25 kHz with a peak-to-peak amplitude of

VTAP =100±20V

pp.

Note When more than one Exciter 95 is used to create a wider excitation zone, a magnetic

coupling can appear. The phenomenon is explained in Chapter 4, Setup Guidelines in

the 95 Series RFID System Technical Guide. The coupling generates an unwanted

amplitude modulation with a frequency of several Hertz, the modulation depth

depending directly on the coupling. The installer has to monitor the TAP signal and

adjust the position of the E95 frames to obtain a minimum unwanted modulation

depth. The installer can increase the distance between frames, level the frames in the

same plane, or place the frames with the shorter sides (1m) in parallel. The minimum

amplitude of VTAP due to unwanted modulation must be larger than 60Vpp.

5. Turn off the excitation field, by typing:

C<Enter>

The TAP voltageamplitudeshouldbezero.

6. Turn on the LF field again, by typing:

B<Enter>

The TAP voltage signal should have the same value as measured in Step 4.

7. Set the wanted excitation mode.

To set a specific excitation mode, refer to Appendix C, Excitation Modes.Ifyou

want to return to the initial excitation mode as determined in Step 2, you have to

restore the values of the parameters modified in Step 3.

Configuring the Reader

5-8 Configuration and Operation

For example, Lyngsoe recommends the following parameter values for the

Conditional Switching AC mode (CSAC) for the IPC installation:

RCS=Y; RES=Y; REM=C; RET=A; HCC=8; HCS=7; HE0=18; HE1=6

These parameters all have the default values.

8. Check the excitation field pattern as set in Step 7, by monitoring the TAP voltage.

For example, if the IPC’s CSAC mode was set and the Reader did not receive a

valid message, the TAP voltage has the following repetitive pattern: a carrier of

128.25 kHz modulated ON/OFF with 610Hz for 60 ms, followed by no signal for

180 ms.

9. Save the excitation mode set in Step 7, by typing:

:CONFIG:STORE <Enter>

:RESET <Enter>

10. Check the parameter values set in Step 7 again.

11. Check the auto-diagnostic feature, by typing:

:DAR=Y <Enter>

:TEST:EXCITER k<Enter>

where kis the decimal address (1, 2, 3, ...) of the Exciter that you want to test.

The response should be 00, followed by a number (between IP-2 and IP) of

messages from the Test Tag.

12. Turn off the excitation field again, by typing:

C<Enter>

13. Check the auto-diagnostic feature, by typing:

:TEST:EXCITER k<Enter>

The response should be C9.

14. Repeat Steps 1 to 13 (inclusive) for each Exciter that is connected to the Reader.

Configuring the Reader

The Reader’s basic configuration covers the following group of parameters:

• Data buffering/reporting configuration- Group D parameters

• Hardware configuration - Group H parameters

• Instrument generic configuration - Group I parameters

• Tag data reading configuration - Group R parameters

For more information on these parameters, see the 95 Series RFID System Reference

Guide and the 95 Series RFID System Technical Guide.

Setting Up the Carrier Threshold

Configuration and Operation 5-9

Note You can set these parameters for each particular application to optimize the

functionality of the Reader and the RFID System.

Setting Up the Carrier Threshold

Warning Before starting this procedure, you have to enable the auto-report and set the data

report in ASCII format, by typing the following:

DAR=Y<Enter>

DHX=N<Enter>

To setup the Reader’s carrier threshold, do the following:

1. Switch off the excitation field, by typing:

C<Enter>

2. Set the Receiver’s signal-to-noise ratio, by typing:

RSS=10<Enter>

Note You can set other values for the RSS parameter. Lyngsoe recommends using a value

between 10 and 20 for the RSS parameter.

3. If you are using Diversity, enable it by typing:

HAD=Y<Enter>

Ensure that both UHF antennas are connected. If you are not using Diversity,

disable it by typing:

HAD=N<Enter>

Ensure that only the right UHF antenna is selected (see the HAS parameter).

4. Check the noise level on the UHF channel, by typing:

HNL<Enter>

The HNL value should be between -107 to -95dBm.

If the HNL value is higher than -95dBm, check if there are unwanted

transmissions on the UHF channel (433.9 MHz). Pay special attention to

Transponders or Exciters in close proximity to the Reader; these can accidentally

transmit data that can be received by the Reader.

If the HNL value is lower than -105dBm, check its value without the UHF

antennas attached. The difference between these two readings must be greater

than 3dB.

Setting Up the Carrier Threshold

5. Set the carrier threshold, by typing:

S<Enter>

:CONFIG:THRESHOLD<Enter>

Note If the Reader resets itself, repeat the procedure from Step 1.

6. Monitor the DATA LED for at least 10 seconds. The LED must not flicker. If it

does flicker occasionally, increment the RSS parameter value by one. Go to Step 5.

IMPORTANT * For a normal setup, the value of (HNL+RSS) must be less than - 85 dBm.

* If the noise level is higher than -95 dBm, disconnect the UHF antennas from the

Reader, and check whether the HNL value drops below -107 dBm. If this occurs, it

means that there is unwanted transmission on the UHF channel. To correct this

situation, refer to Chapter 4, Setup Guidelines in the 95 Series RFID System

Technical Guide.

7. Place your Test Transponder T95 1-2 m away from an Exciter that is controlled by

the Reader you are configuring. For more information about identification zones

Message Format

Transponder T95 Messages B-1

Appendix B

Transponder T95 Messages

Message Format

Each message has the following format

where:

Prmbl = 0.7 ms continue 1.

Sync = a string of 10 bits of “0101010101”; transmitted only if SM=Y.

Start = a string of 13 bits “0101010000111”; transmitted only if SM=Y.

SC = 2 bytes system code; transmitted only if TS=Y.

UD = user definable data; number of bytes is set by CC (1 to 32).

CRC = 2 bytes CRC; transmitted only if EC=Y.

Flag = 2 bytes message flags; transmitted only if TF=Y. It has 1 byte if HF=N and

2 bytes if HF=Y.

Key = 1 byte message key; transmitted only if EN=Y.

T95 Parameters The parameters that control the message transmission for T95 are shown in the table

below:

Total Transmission

Time

After a valid excitation, the T95 transmits the initial number of messages defined by

the IP parameter, followed by an extra number of messages (up to the RC) for as long

as the excitation exists. Then it goes to sleep.

There is a random delay called InterMsgDelay that occurs between two consecutive

messages. This is implemented to ensure that the delay time does not repeat itself

before 32 messages have occurred.

Parameter Range Description

DR 3,4 Data rate; DR3 = 19.2 kbps, DR4= 38.4 kbps

EC Y/N Standard error check transmitted

EN Y/N Data encryption available

HF Y/N Flags in hexadecimal

ID 0...200 Initial delay

IP 1...200 Initial number of messages transmitted after a valid execution

LT Y/N Limit repeated transmissions

RC 0...255 Number of extra messages transmitted after IP during a continuous excitation

RS 0...255 Random seed

SD 1...220 Subsequent delay

SM Y/N Synchronous preamble transmitted

TF Y/N Transmit Flags

TS Y/N Transmit System Code

Message Format

B-2 Transponder T95 Messages

The following is the method of evaluating the maximum transmission time for the

T95:

Number of bytes per message: TXBytes = SC + UD + CRC + Flag + Key

Number of bits per byte: BitsPerByte = 12 for DR4, and = 11 for DR3

Number of bits per message: TXBits = Sync + BitsPerByte*TXBytes

Bit duration: BitLen = 1/DR

Message length: MsLen = 0.0007 +TXBit*BitLen

Intermessage constant: InterMsgUnit = (UD + Flag)*0.0003066, for DR4;

= (UD + Flag)*0.0005657), for DR3

Intermessage delay: InterMsgDelay = [SD +RND(0…31)]*InterMsgUnit;

(RND - random value)

Maximum number of transmitted messages: NM = IP +RC; if LT = N

Total transmission time: TXTime = NM (MsLen +(NM-1) (InterMsgDelay)

Upgrading the Firmware

Reader Software Upgrade Procedure D-1

Appendix D

Reader Software Upgrade Procedure

This appendix describes the procedures for upgrading the Reader R95 (P/N 600405)

main software using the serial interface RS232 or RS485. This software controls the

functionality of the Microcontroller placed on the Receiver assembly CRM95

(P/N 500056). This procedure refers particularly to the upgrading process for software

version 1.68.02.

Upgrading the Firmware

Upgrading the firmware involve the following steps:

1. Setting the Reader’s Address to 0

2. Saving parameters: HV0, HV1, ISC, ISN

3. Upgrading the firmware itself by using:

a) The RS232 interface

or b) The RS485 interface: 4-wire communication line or 2-wire communication line

3. Restoring parameters: HV0, HV1, ISC, ISN

4. Setting the Reader’s Network Configuration

5. Final instructions

Setting the Reader’s

Address

To set the Reader’s address, do the following:

1. If the Reader already has an address, for example r, then set this address to 0 by

typing the following commands:

@r IAD=0<Enter>

@r :CONFIG:STORE<Enter>

@r :RESET<Enter>

For more information, refer to Storing the Reader’s Configuration on page 5-13.

2. Check whether the Reader’s address is 0, by typing the following command:

IVN<Enter>

The Reader must respond with its software version number. If not, repeat Step 1.

Upgrading the Firmware

D-2 Reader Software Upgrade Procedure

Saving Parameters Follow these steps:

1. Write down the values of the following parameters: HV0, HV1, ISC, ISN.

Note To determine a parameter’s value, for example, HV1, type the following command:

HV1<Enter>

For example, the Reader responds:

HV1=125

where 125 is the parameter value.

2. If the Reader was already configured, write down all parameters whose values

differ from the set default values. For more information, refer to Chapter 1, Quick

Reference in the 95 Series RFID System Reference Guide.

For example, for an IPC installation, write down the values for the following

parameters: DCI, DRI, HTL, RCC, RSS.

Using the RS232

Interface

Follow these steps:

1. Connect your PC (COM port) to the Reader R95 (RS232 interface) using a

standard RS232 cable. For more information, refer to Setting Up the Reader/PC

Connection on page 5-2.

2. Start the upgrading procedure by typing the following command:

:CONFIG:FIRMWARE:LOAD<Enter>

or type the following shortcut:

F<Enter>

3. Start XMODEM, send protocol on the PC, and then send the new firmware file.

Lyngsoe recommends having the new file on your hard drive and not on a floppy

disk.

4. Wait until the transfer process is complete. If the 95 Series RFID System aborted

the transfer process, repeat Step 2.

5. If the downloading process was successful, wait for the Reader to reset - it takes

about 5-7 seconds. For more information on the Reader’s power-up sequence, refer

to Reader’s Power-up Sequence on page 5-3. If the Reader did not reset properly

anddidnotsendasign-onmessage,thenswitchtheReader’spowersupplyOff

and then On.

6. To verify whether the upgrade process was successful, type the following

command:

IVN<Enter>

Upgrading the Firmware

Reader Software Upgrade Procedure D-3

The Reader must respond with the new firmware version number:

CRM95 V1.68.02, BUILT: 02/03/98 13:01:12

If not, repeat the procedure from Step 2.

7. If after completing Step 5, you still cannot communicate with the Reader, replace

the Reader with another unit and return the faulty one to Lyngsoe.

Using the RS485

Interface

4-wire

Communication

Line

Follow these steps:

1. Connect your PC (COM port) to a Converter RS232/RS485. Connect the 4-wire

communication line to the Converter (RS485 side). For more information on the

communication line connection to the Reader, refer to Connecting the RS-485

Four-Wire Communication Line on page 2-4 and Setting Up the Reader/PC

Connection on page 5-2.

You can have a different assignment for the RS485 interface on the Converter

side. Use the following conventions for the connections between the Reader R95

and the PC:

2. To upgrade the Reader’s software, follow steps Steps 2 - 5 in Using the RS232

Interface above.

Using the RS485

Interface

2-wire

Communication

Line

Follow these steps:

1. Connect your PC (COM port) to a Converter RS232/RS485. Connect the 2-wire

communication line to the Converter (RS485 side). For more information on the

communication line connection to the Reader, refer to Connecting the RS-485

Two-Wire Communication Line on page 2-3 and Setting Up the Reader/PC

Connection on page 5-2.

You can have a different assignment for the RS485 interface on the Converter

side. Use the following conventions for the connections between the Reader R95

and the PC:

Or as an alternative:

Place the wire jumpers between terminal

and

2. To control the RS485 interface on a 2-wire communication line, you must use the

special software on the PC to allow hardware flow control. For example, Lingso’s

RS485 software to communicate with the Reader and Readerfw to upgrade the

Reader’s software. For more information on the software, refer to the Lingso

documentation.

Upgrading the Firmware

D-4 Reader Software Upgrade Procedure

Restoring Parameters Follow these steps:

1. Verify whether parameters were erased during the upgrade procedure, by typing:

ISC<Enter>

2. If the Reader responds with

ISC=0

then the original parameter values were erased and they were set to their default

values.

3. Reset the parameters HV0, HV1, ISC, ISN to their original values prior to the

upgrade process. You recorded them during the Saving Parametersstep.

Note a) Firmware V1.68.02 ignores leading zeros for integers.

b) If the Reader was already configured on the site, you have to restore all

application parameters queried during the Saving Parametersstep, or restart the

configuration process as described in Chapter 5, Configuration and Operation.

3. Check the values of the new parameters that were introduced by this software

version. For example, For an IPC installation, the following parameters must

have the default values as follows:

HCC=8, HCS=7, HE0=18, HE1=6, RCS=Y, RES=Y, SFC=N

Setting the Reader’s

Network Configuration

To set the Reader’s network configuration, do the following:

1. Set the Reader’s address to it initial value (see step 1 in Setting the Reader’s

Address): by typing:

IAD=r<Enter>

2. Store the Reader’s parameters, by typing:

:CONFIG:STORE<Enter>

3. Reset the Reader, by typing:

:RESET<Enter>

4. Verify that the Reader is functioning properly, by typing:

@r IVN<Enter>

where ris the Reader’s address. The Reader must respond with its software

version number.

5. Verify that the parameters set in the following sections are correct:
