However in case of REQ command with carrier OFF, no response from RFID chip, because it serves as a command requesting carrier ON (transfer to operation status). SEL  2E  Selecting a specific RFID chip. UID  Existing (4-byte) Unique ID of RFID chip. It is already written at factory and cannot be changed. KEY  Random (4-byte) Key of RFID chip (code). Checking KEY against SEL command, and executing access restriction depending on match or mismatch. READ  0E  Reading memory of RFID chip (128-byte collectively) WRITE CE Increasing write pointer of RFID chip with an increment (+1) and write to memory (4-byte unit). DATA  Random (4-byte) Data to be written. It may be invalid depending on access restriction, but 4-byte data is requiredWRITE_NOP 8E Increasing write pointer of RFID chip with increment (+1). Actual writing is not executed. But dummy data (4-byte) at transmission of command is required. WRITE_ST EE Returning write pointer of memory to zero (position of Serial No.0). Writing to RFID chip is not executed. But data at transmission of command (4-byte, dummy) is required. HALT  AE  Halting a specific RFID chip. COUNT  6E  Decreasing down counter of RFID chip with decrement  (-1). 03 0C 30 CT_NUM C0 Specifying counter for decrement. Select one CT_NUM code corresponding any of Counter 1 to 4. Counter1: 03h, Counter2: 0Ch, Counter3: 30h, Counter4: C0h RESET 7E Initializing controller. TEST 5E Setting parameters of analog characteristics of transceiver/antenna selection.  Transmission of carrier from module is checked by TEST command (TEST_CODE:00**).    If the response is NOT (6Ah), the carrier is not transmitted. F0** (2Byte) Parameter of antenna selection. Shifting antenna to be activated with lower 1-byte (** mentioned on the left).01h: select antenna to be connected with CN211 02h: select antenna to be connected with CN221 03h: select antenna to be connected with CN231 04h: select antenna to be connected with CN241 TEST_CODE 00** (2Byte) Parameter of receiving gain characteristic of transceiver. Shifting receiving gain with lower 1-byte (** mentioned on the left). RF_OFF  80** (2Byte) Stopping carrier by TEST+RF_OFF Lower 1-byte (** mentioned on the left) is at random.
Coil-on-Chip RFID  ME-MR23   MAXELL SEIKI CONFIDENTIAL  14 6.2.1    Parameter of Analog Characteristic Most suitable parameter of analog characteristic depends on transmission characteristic of each RFID chip and positional relationship between antenna coil on Reader/Writer Module and RFID chip. Estimate gain setting with least transmission error and set it as default value. When accessing other RFID chip or repositioning (including insertion and withdrawal), optimize the parameter of analog characteristic to match with the receiving characteristic from RFID chip. When transmission errors occurs and transmission is not possible despite of retrying, provide software processing to shifting set gain values up and down automatically.    We recommend you should shift the set gain values above and below the default value, taking operating environment (supply voltage, ambient temperature), dispersion of transmission distance, dispersion of transmission performance of RFID chip into consideration.  ・  Recommended setting for evaluation Default  29 → 2A → 28 → 2B → 27 → 2C → 26 (→  return to default value) (retry for a few times at each gain)  Set gain values of receiving amplifier are shown below. Set values of receiving amp gain         6.2.2  RESET command It is possible to issue RESET command even in case of sequence of executing other command. However, because all the transmission sequences are interrupted to respond to RESET command, we cannot guarantee internal operation, depending on the transmission sequence being executed.   Therefore, issue RESET command after a considerable time elapsed since completion of the previous command transmission sequence.  We recommend that you should issue RESET command only in case of trouble, for example, when ”response is not returned” as a result of waiting response from Reader/Writer Module.  You cannot do 40-second timer deactivation by RESET command after 40-second timeout (impossible to communicate with RFID chip).  External reset or turning power off and on is required.

Coil-on-Chip RFID  ME-MR23   MAXELL SEIKI CONFIDENTIAL  17 8  Precautions Before Use ・  This Reader/Writer Module itself may not meet EMI  (Electromagnetic Interference) standard. Give consideration to conformity of the system to EMC standard as required for intended use and destination of your system. ・ Do not place metallic parts between Reader/Writer Module and RFID chip.  Keep antenna away from conductive objects such as metallic frame.  If such object is close to antenna, it may impair transmission characteristic.  9  Precautions for Handling ・  This Reader/Writer Module is precision apparatus.    Do not disassemble or modify it.    Otherwise, it may cause malfunction, failure, fire, or electric shock. ・ Before handling the module, discharge electrostatic charge from your body.  Do not drop, strike, bend, or give impact on the module. ・  Do not touch with wet hand.    Otherwise, it will cause failure. ・  This module employs metallic shield plate.    When you handle the module, do not touch its edge. The edge is sharp and your finger may get a cut. ・  Use exclusive card compatible with this module only.    Do not insert any object such as iron plate or coin.    Otherwise, it may cause failure. ・ Never remove cables during access to the card.  Otherwise, it may cause collapse of data in the card or the card itself. ・ Do not touch or remove the card during access to the card.  Otherwise, it may cause collapse of data in the card or the card itself.  10  Cautions for Use ・ When required transmission is completed, stop the carrier.  If carrier output continues, RFID chip may generate heat.  For safety, the Reader/Writer Module automatically stops carrier in about 40 seconds after the start of carrier output.    If you turn off the power and turn it on again, the module is recovered. ・  For safety, provide the host computer with power protection against overcurrent due to short-circuit of components in this module, etc. ・  Be sure to carry out Read Verify check after writing. ・  When retrying because of transmission error, readjust receiving amp gain. ・ Do not use this module with reversed combination of antenna board and Reader/Writer board.  Otherwise, it may impair transmission performance (excluding cables). ・  Turn off the power before removing or inserting the card.    Otherwise, it may cause failure. ・ Do not bend this module at its portion close to the housing of antenna cable.  Otherwise, it may cause breakage of conductor. ・  Insert the card in the arrowed direction in such a manner that the face is visible.   If the direction is wrong, transmission error may occur.    In such case, insert it in correct direction.
