1) Memory Map of I-CODE1
These specifications describe a Tag incorporating an IC chip I- CODE1 Label
IC from Philips, which is accessed by the system.
This chip consists of a 64-byte memory. The upper five blocks (Blocks 0 to 4)
of the memory are used as a system area having functions that do not relate to
user memory. OMRON offers special commands for accessing this area in
order to ensure the great ease of these functions by the user.
Refer to Command List for details. OMRON defines the blocks below Block 5
as the user memory area. Block 5 is page 00h, and the subsequent blocks are
allocated as shown below.
The memory is organized with four bytes as one page (4 bytes = 32 bits).
One page is the minimum unit that can be read from and written to the
memory.
The memory allocation described in this user's manual is in accordance with
OMRON's memory allocation scheme.

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 RFID Unit
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 RFID Unit
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.

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 RFID Unit 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.
9 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 RFID Unit 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 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 RFID Unit 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

numbers.
5-3 Communications Time (Reference)
Section 5-3
Example: Reading data from pages 1, 5, and 9
T = 1.3 × ( 9 - 1 + 1 ) + 6.2 = 17.9 ms (for I-CODE1)
T = 1.3 × (9 - 1 + 1 ) + 6.0 = 17.7 ms (for I-CODESLI)
Example: Reading data from pages C, 5, and 9
T = 1.3 × (9-(-4)+1) + 6.2 = 24.4ms (for I-CODE1)
T = 1.3 × (12-5+1) + 6.0 = 16.6ms (for I-CODESLI)
Example: Writing data to pages 2, 4, 9, and 10
T = 11.7 × 4 + 1.3 × ( 10 - 2 + 1 ) + 13.5 = 72ms (for I-CODE1)
T = 12.3 × 4 + 1.3 × ( 10 - 2 + 1 ) + 15.5 = 76.4ms (for I-CODESLI)
Communications Time Calculation Conditions
• Communications mode: Single Trigger Mode
• Communications errors must not occur, such as due to noises.
5-3-2 TAT (Turn Around Time)
The TAT is the time taken from when the host control unit sends a command to the RFID Unit, to when
a response is received and completed.
The time differs depending on the baud rate and the communications control method setting.
