What is a CIDRW System?
The CIDRW system writes data to, and reads data from, the carrier IDs (ID Tags) mounted on the carriers
(FOUP) in semiconductor manufacturing processes without contacting these ID Tags. CIDRW is the
abbreviation of "Carrier ID Reader/Writer" and this abbreviation is used throughout this manual.
Reading and writing information such as models, process instructions, lots, and inspection results to and from
ID Tags makes it possible to manage work instruction information from a host device.

CIDRW Head
The area for communications with ID Tags varies substantially according to the installation orientations
and the background conditions (metals, noise, etc.). Check the communications area before deciding
the installation position.
For details on actual communications distances, see Characteristic Data depending on Conditions of
Use in Appendix.
Refer to page 101.
Positional Relationship between the CIDRW Head and the ID Tag
The communications area differs according to the positional relationship during communications.
Data Reading and Writing
The communications distances for reading and writing are not the same; the distance is shorter for
writing. Therefore, when data is to be both read and written, take the distance for writing as the refer-
ence distance when installing the CIDRW Head and the ID Tag.
Mounting
orientation Communications area (purely illustrative) Explanation
Coaxial The maximum communications area is
obtained when the centerlines of the CIDRW
Head and the ID Tag coincide.
Parallel The maximum communications area is
obtained when the center point of the
antenna on the CIDRW Controller is aligned
with the centerline of the ID Tag.
Vertical When the center point of the antenna on the
CIDRW Head is aligned with the centerline of
the ID Tag, the communications area is sub-
stantially reduced.

Influence of Background Metal on ID Tag
Metals in the vicinity of the communications area will affect the range, making it smaller.
Refer to page 105.
Influence of Noise
This CIDRW system uses a frequency of 134 kHz for communications with ID Tags. Equipment such
as switching power supplies, inverters, servomotors, or monitors in the surrounding area will adversely
affect communications, restricting the communications area.
The noise levels in the vicinity of the CIDRW Head can be determined with the environmental noise measurement com-
mand (applies only when SECS is not used). Refer to page 82.
For details on the relationship between noise and communications distance, see Appendix. Refer to page 110.
Mounting
Use spring washers and flat washers with the four M3 screws when mounting a CIDRW Head.
Tighten the M3 screws with a torque not exceeding 0.6 N·m.

•Wiring method
1. Attach crimp terminals to stripped portions of the cables.
2. Insert the wires into the correct holes in the connector, bearing
the orientation of the connector in mind.
3. Tighten the set screws of the connector firmly to secure the
cables.
The appropriate tightening torque is around 0.5 N·m.
A standard, tapered screwdriver will not enter all the way into the
screw holes. Use a small gauge flat-blade screwdriver whose shaft
and tip have the same thickness.
4. Having fitted the connector to the cable, connect it
to an Amplifier Unit.
Orient the cable connector correctly in relation to the connector
on the Amplifier Unit, and fasten the cable connector by fully
tightening the retaining screws.
Disconnecting the connector
Fully loosen the two screws, then grip the projections on the connector and pull it straight out. If it is difficult to pull the
connector out, press down on the Amplifier Unit while pulling on the connector.

Sending a Switching Command from the Host Device
This method is convenient when the unit has already been mounted and the switch on the bottom can-
not be repositioned to "3."
During operation in the Normal Operation mode, a command is sent from the host device to switch to
the Setting mode.
1. Send a subsystem command (S18F13 ChangeState CPVAL1 = "PS") from the host device.
Refer to page page 70.
CPVAL1="PS" is an expansion designation unique to V700-L21 and does not conform to SEMI standards.
The system is automatically restarted and the mode switches to the Setting mode.
The operation indicators react as shown below.
Start the terminal software
Use the host device's terminal software for the setting.
The commands and communications conditions in the setting mode are unique to OMRON. They do not conform to the
SEMI standards. For the terminal software, use Hyper Terminal, which is standard with Windows, or a similar program.

Test for Communications with the Host Device
Check if the host device, CIDRW Controller, and Amplifier Units are correctly connected.
When SECS is Used
• Connection between host device and CIDRW Controller
Send Are You There Request message "S1, F1" from the host device.
If it is correctly connected, On Line Data "S1, F2" will be sent from the CIDRW Controller.
• Connection between the CIDRW Controller and Amplifier Unit
The connection between the CIDRW Controller and Amplifier Unit is checked automatically. If they are
connected correctly, the operation indicators on the CIDRW Controller light in the manner shown
below.

(1) The CIDRW Controller is in IDLE. The host device requests the CIDRW Controller change its oper-
ational status to MAINTENANCE.
(2) The CIDRW Controller changes to MAINTENANCE and replies that it has changed state.
(3) The host device sends a Write ID Request message to the CIDRW Controller for Head 1. The
CIDRW Head 1 writes ID, and the CIDRW Controller returns the ID to the host devices.
• Write Data
The host device sends a Write Data Request message to the CIDRW Controller for Head 1 and Data-
Seg S02. The CIDRW Head 1 writes the data, and the CIDRW Controller returns the results to the host
device.
