3-2 Tag Access Functions
Section 3-2
3-2-2 Single Access and FIFO Access Functions
Single Access Mode
Use this mode to communicate with only one tag within the R/W Module
communications area.
The time required for communications with the tag is shorter compared with
FIFO access mode.
FIFO Access Mode
FIFO (First In First Out) access mode enables reading tags in order as they
enter the antenna communications range. Tags with which communications
have been completed are prohibited from being accessed again, so even if
tags with which communications have been completed are still within range of
the antenna, communications will be possible with new tags as they enter the
communications range. When two or more tags enter the antenna
communications range at the same time, a communications error will occur.
When a tag to which access has been prohibited moves out of the
communications area, communications with it will be possible again if it
reenters the antenna communications range.
The above diagram shows an example of a tag inspection line.
When the distance between tags is small, two tags may enter the R/W Module
communications range at the same time. If this happens when in Single
Access Mode, a communications error will occur, or even if read/write appears
to have been performed, there is no way to know which of the two tags was
read. In FIFO Access Mode, tags entering communications range can be read
or written to in order, so this mode is suited to applications such as a tag
inspection line, in which the order of access is important.

3-2 Tag Access Functions
Section 3-2
3-2-3 Lock Function
The lock function is a protection function provided to prevent the loss of data
by unintentionally overwriting fixed data stored on the tags. This function can
be set using the lock command. This function can be set using the lock
command.
There is a lock setting area in the tag system area, enabling user-defined
areas to be write-protected one page at a time. If the write command is
executed for a page that has been write-protected, a write processing error will
occur.
Note
The lock function used with the V720 Series cannot be canceled. Pages that have been
write-protected cannot be written to again, so be careful when using this function.

3-3 Tag Access Functions
Section 3-2
3-2-4 Tag Identification Access Function
Only when the ID code stored on the tag and the ID code included in the
command sent from the antenna match will the tag respond. This is called the
tag identification access function.
Commands sent from the R/W Module respond without depending upon the ID
code stored in the tags.
Reference Information for I-CODE SLI
Followings are examples of tag identification access function using OMRON’s antenna and reader
such as V720-H04 and V720S-BC5D4A.
(1) The set values of the tag ID codes are given in the following table. These settings can be made by
using the R/W Module or the reader.

(2) Tag ID Access Operation
•Not Using Tag ID Access
(1) The reader’s AFI set value is taken to be 00 Hex. (Set at
the factory.)
(2) Multiple tag access commands are executed.
(3) All tags within communications range respond.
(The tag family codes and application IDs are not
required.)
•Using Tag ID Access
(1) The set value of the reader’s AFI is 22 Hex.
(2) Multiple tag access commands are executed.
(3) Only tags with the same ID code set in (1) and which are
within communications range respond. In this example,
only tag No. 2 responds.

Caution:
There are two methods to control an R/W module from the host control unit; the CR control and
number-of-characters control.
OMRON’s existing product (V720S-HMC73/HMC73T) allows user to use either methods but this
product (V720S-HMC75) introduces only the number-of-characters control method.
CR control
Data in the communications frame is handled as ASCII characters in
2-digit hexadecimal code (ASCII code). CR control simplifies operations
with the host.
Number-of-characters Data in the communications frame is handled as hexadecimal code,
Control
thus minimizing communications time with the host.
In this manual, the codes are displayed as follows:

(Communications Control Procedure)
When character data has been received for the number of characters given at the beginning of the
frame, the frame is assumed to have ended. If the interval between data is greater than 2 sec,
processing of the reception is interrupted, and the sleep mode is engaged. If reception is stopped,
responses are not returned from the R/W Module to the host.

After a command is received, communications with the tag is performed immediately
and a response is sent. If there is no tag in communications range, a No Tag error is
sent. After the response has been sent, the mode changes to sleep mode.
Only one tag is permitted in communications range.
After a command is received, this mode waits for a tag to enter communications
range, and then performs communications with the tag. After the response has
been sent, the mode changes to sleep mode. If a STOP command is received
while waiting for a tag, the command is ended.
Only one tag is permitted in communications range.
After a command is received, this mode waits for a tag to enter communications
range, and then performs communications with the tag. If this mode has been
specified, the command is repeated sequentially until a STOP command is received. This mode is enabled only for read commands.
Only one tag is permitted in communications range.
After a command is received, communications with the tag is performed immediately and a response is sent. If there is no tag in communications range, a No
Tag error is sent. Access is prohibited to tags with which communications have
been completed, and the R/W Module continues unmodulated oscillation. Tags
with which communications have been completed do not respond to the next
command. After the response has been sent, the mode changes to sleep mode. If
a STOP command is received, oscillation stops.

the next command. After the response has been sent, the mode changes to sleep
mode. If a STOP command is received while waiting for a tag, the command is ended.
A Hex
After a command is received, this mode waits for a tag to enter communications range,
and then performs communications with the tag. Access is prohibited to tags with which
communications have been completed, and the R/W Module continues unmodulated
oscillation. Tags with which communications have been completed do not respond to
the next command. After the response has been sent, when ACK is received, this mode
again waits for a tag to enter communications range, and then performs communications with the tag. If a STOP command is received while waiting for a tag, the command
is ended.
B Hex
After a command is received, this mode waits for a tag to enter communications range,
and then performs communications with the tag. Access is prohibited to tags with which

5-3 Communications Time (Reference)
Section 5-3
Example: Reading data from pages 1, 5, and 9
T = 1.3 × (9 - 1 + 1 ) + 6.0 = 17.7 ms
Example: Reading data from pages C, 5, and 9
T = 1.3 × (12-5+1) + 6.0 = 16.6ms
Example: Writing data to pages 2, 4, 9, and 10
T = 12.3 × 4 + 1.3 × ( 10 - 2 + 1 ) + 15.5 = 76.4ms
Communications Time Calculation Conditions
• Communications mode: Single Trigger Mode
• Communications errors must not occur, such as due to noises.

5-3 Communications Time (Reference)
Section 5-3
5-3-2 TAT (Turn Around Time)
The TAT is the time taken from when the host control unit sends a command to the R/W Module, to
when a response is received and completed.
The time differs depending on the baud rate and the communications control method setting.
Example of TAT Calculation
Example: Reading from page 0 to page 4
I-CODE SLI
(1)During command send
8 [byte] × 10 [bits] / 9600 [bps] × 1000 [ms/s] ≈ 8.33ms
(2)During communications
6.5 + 6.0 = 12.5ms
(3)During reception of response
24 [byte] × 10 [bits] / 9600 [bps] × 1000 [ms/s] = 25ms
The TAT in to the above example is (1) + (2) + (3) = 45.83 ms.
The calculations are performed according to the following conditions.
• Communications mode
: Single Trigger Mode
• Baud rate
: 9,600 bps
• Commands sent from the host control unit are sent continuously without spaces between the
characters.
• Communications errors must not occur, such as due to noises.
