Segment bank 10 contains the part number and the serial number of the tag. This
data is permanently stored without being changed.
The data in segment bank 10 can be read out via the commands single read read-
only code (SF) and enhanced read read-only code (EF). (see "Single read fixcode
SF" on page 31& see "Enhanced read fixcode (EF)" on page 31)
Bank 11
Segment bank 11 contains an area to which the user has free access. Depending
on chip type, this area has different sizes or is not present.
The data in segment bank 11 is addressed via the commands single read words
(SR), single write words (SW), enhanced read words (ER) and enhanced write
words (EW). (see "Single Read Words SR" on page 32, see "Single Write Words
SW" on page 33, see "Enhanced Read Words ER" on page 33& see "Enhanced
Write Words EW" on page 33)
4.1.6 Electronic product code EPC
The electronic product code is a unique code composed of a series of digits. This
series of digits has a defined structure and a length of 64 bits, 80 bits, 96 bit or
longer (depending on the EPC identification number used), is stored on the RFID
transponder and uniquely identifies every transponder all over the world.
2012-09

IUH-F117-V1-*
Product Description
GS1/EPCglobal developed the system of Electronic Product Codes (EPC) for use
in resource planning. Transponders with a memory for EPC codes are
programmed by the user. The memories of new transponders do not have to
contain valid EPC codes. The EPC numbers are allocated and managed by GS1.
If you require EPC numbers, please contact the respective GS1 branch in your
country (http://www.gs1.com/contact).
The electronic product code has a defined layout that is structured as follows:
1. Header: the header specifies the EPC standard used and contains the se-
ries of digits.
2. Filter value: describes the product unit, e.g., end product, packaging, prod-
uct range.
3. Partition: describes the point at which the EPC manager mentioned below
stops and the object data starts.
4. EPC Manager: allocated series of digits that identify the manufacturer.
5. Object class: series of digits that describe the object, e.g., article number.
6. Serial number: series of digits that identify the article, e.g., consecutive se-
rial numbers of the article.
To work with unique identifications without having to revert to potentially costly
EPC codes, we recommend using the UID and TID of the transponders
programmed permanently into the transponder chips by the semiconductor
manufacturer.
4.1.7 Unique numbering as per ISO
In addition to the Electronic Product Code (EPC), a series of MITL numbers can
also be used as a UII in accordance with ISO. MITL stands for Multi Industry
Tra ns p o r t L a be l.
Example:
25SLHUNIK15000905130035
The series consists of the following
1. Data identifier
25S describes a unique object.
2. Unique company ID
LH describes die issuing authority, in this example the European Health In-
dustry Business Communications Council "EHIBCC."

UNIK describes the company, in this case "UNIK."
3. Serial number

The relevant standards relating to unique identification include ISO/IEC 15434,
ISO/IEC 15459-1 to 8 and ISO/IEC TR 29162 (in preparation).
4.1.8 Influence of various materials on the sensing range
In the UHF range, the nature of the surrounding area and the surface to which the
transponder is secured have a serious influence on the range that the system can
attain. The UHF transponder cannot be mounted on metal without requiring
adaptations. Glass has a negative influence on the sensing range when used as a
mounting surface. If a UHF transponder is mounted on damp material, the
sensing range is much poorer than the range of a transponder mounted on dry
material. The mounting surface often affects the read range much more than the
material between the transponder and the read/write head. The graph shows the
effect of different materials on the sensing range.

Product Description
4.1.9 Countries of Use
The IUH-F117-V1-* read/write head has transmission license in accordance with
DIN EN 302208-2.
A list of countries of use can be found in "ERC Recommendation ERC/REC70-
03". These are available on the "European Communications Office ERO" website
under www.ero.dk as recommendation. The currently applicable countries of use
are listed in this document under Appendix 11.
4.1.10 Dense Reader Mode DRM
A special operating mode for read/write tags in accordance with the UHF Gen 2
specification allows several read/write heads to be operated next to each other
without interference.
Europe
In line with EPC Global and ETSI EN 302208, only channels 4, 7, 10 and 13 are
used in this mode for transmission for the IUH-F117-V1-EU read/write head
(read/write head -> read/write tag communication path). The transmission power
is max. 2 Werp.
Figure 4.1
The read/write head can therefore only use preset channels. The response from
the read/write tag appears via the frequency offset, which is achieved by the
modulation used in this mode on the two adjacent channels. The IUH-F117-V1-
EU read/write head transmits on the four transmission channels 4, 7, 10 and 13,
provided that these channels have been preset. Due to the high level difference
between the transmission channels and the response channels, this technology
offers major benefits for reusing frequencies. This requires minimum distances
and therefore a minimum coupling between the antennas of adjacent read/write
heads to be maintained.
Note!
If you wish to use a device in a country in which this standard is not effective,
make sure beforehand that the following values for the device are consistent with
the local conditions:

5.1 Storage and transport
For storage and transport purposes, package the unit using shockproof
packaging material and protect it against moisture. The best method of protection
is to package the unit using the original packaging. Furthermore, ensure that the
ambient conditions are within allowable range.
5.2 Unpacking
Check the product for damage while unpacking. In the event of damage to the
product, inform the post office or parcel service and notify the supplier.
Check the package contents with your purchase order and the shipping
documents for:
Delivery quantity
Device type and version in accordance with the type plate
Accessories
Quick start guide
Retain the original packaging in case you have to store or ship the device again at
a later date.
Should you have any questions, please contact Pepperl+Fuchs.
5.3 Mounting
The read/write head was designed for mounting on walls or brackets in internal
areas. Please always secure the read/write head to the holes provided on the
housing. The preferred installation position is with the cable connection vertical
facing downwards.
Note!
Please note that radio waves in the UHF range do not disperse evenly due to
reflections on objects in the surrounding environment. Aligning the transponder
correctly is therefore extremely important.

IUH-F117-V1-*
Installation
5.3.1 Orientation in the room
The alignment of the antennas on the data carrier in relation to the antenna on the
read/write head influences the sensing range of the system. Therefore, make sure
that the antennas are aligned parallel to one another.
5.3.2 Minimum and Maximum Distances
When positioning the read/write head, please observe the minimum distances.
The lateral distance between the read/write head and metals or liquids should be
at least 50 cm. The distance between the read/write head and the ground should
also be at least 50 cm. The mounting surface material does not affect the
read/write head.

If you wish to position multiple read/write heads next to each other or above each
other, the distance should be no less than 20 cm between each unit. A minimum
distance of 50 cm is reasonable.
Figure 5.2
5.3.3 Polarization
The polarization of an electromagnetic wave emitted from an antenna depends on
the electromagnetic field component and the spatial position of the antenna. A
fundamental distinction is drawn between linear and circular polarization. The
polarization of the read/write head must be adapted to the polarization of the
transponder in order for a UHF system to utilize the full sensing range. Refer to the
corresponding data sheet for details on the polarization of the transponder.
Linear polarization: the direction of the vector of an electromagnetic field
component that generates an electromagnetic wave with linear polarization
is always constant. Linear polarization is available in a vertical and
horizontal configuration, which is dependent on the spatial position of the
antenna.
Circular polarization: the vector of an electromagnetic field component that
generates an electromagnetic wave with circular polarization rotates
around an axis parallel with the beam direction. The rotation of the antenna
around the communication axis has no influence.
The IUH-F117-V1 read/write head is supplied with circular polarization.
Polarization can be changed from circular to linear using the software on the
IDENTControl interface. With linear polarization, the polarization level is aligned
horizontally when the read/write head is mounted in the preferred installation
direction with the cable connection vertical facing downwards.

Installation

5.4 Connection
Connect the read/write head to the IDENTControl interface using a shielded
connection cable (see chapter 4.6.2). Make sure that the shielding is continuous
to prevent EMC interference. (see chapter 5.5)
5.5 EMC concept
The outstanding noise immunity of the IDENTControl against emission and
immission is based on its consistent shielding design, which uses the principle of
the Faraday cage. Interference is caught in the shield and safely diverted via the
ground connections.
The screening of cables provides for the discharge of electromagnetic
interference. When screening a cable, both sides of the screen must be
connected to the earth with low resistance and low inductance.
The metal enclosure of the IDENTControl and the metal enclosure of the R/W
heads complete the consistent shielding concept.
Polarization plane
Note!
If cables with double shields are used, e.g. wire mesh and metalized foil, the both
shields must be connected together, with low resistance, at the ends when
making up the cable.
Power supply cables are the source of much interference, e.g. from the supply
lines of 3-phase electric motors. For this reason, the parallel laying of power
supply cables with data and signal cables should be avoided, particularly in the
same cable duct.
IUH-F117-V1-*
Installation
2012-09
25
The most important issue here is that the shields are connected to ground with
low resistance and low inductance. The metal enclosure ensures that the
shielding is not interrupted, i.e. the complete electronics system and all routed
cables are located within a Faraday cage.

6.1 Connection
When you connect the control interface to the power supply, the PWR/ERR LED
on the device lights up green. If the LED on the device does not light up, the power
supply is connected incorrectly. The LED on the device lights up red when a
device fault occurs. If the PWR/ERR LED flashes red and green alternately after
you connect the IUH-F117-V1 read/write head, the power supply does not offer
sufficient power. If the LED on the read/write head slowly flashes green, the
control interface is configured incorrectly.
6.2 Device settings
You must configure the control interface before commissioning the read/write
head. Read the chapter "Commissioning" in the manual accompanying your
control interface.
Configure the R/W heads with the described system commands.see chapter
7.3.2). To view an example of parameterization see chapter 6.3.
6.3 Operating via the Command Interface
This section shows you how to operate the IUH-F117-V1-* read/write head using
an IDENTControl Compact control interface with serial interface. The
commissioning procedure described relates to the RS 232 interface and involves
a PC. The examples also include the syntax for coding the commands and
parameters via the Ethernet TCP/IP and PROFIBUS interface. Further details
about these codes and the factory setting for your IDENTControl control interface
can be found in the manual.
Caution!
Uncontrollable triggered processes
The plant where the device is installed may be damaged.
Before commissioning, make sure that all processes run in a controlled manner.
Warning!
Incorrect electrical connection
Damage to the device or system caused by incorrect electrical connection
Check all connections in the plant before commissioning the device.
Caution!
Device not configured or configured incorrectly
System failure caused by incorrectly configured device
Configure the device prior to commissioning.

Commissioning the IDENTControl Compact Control Interface
1. On the PC, open a terminal program (e. g. "Hyperterminal" or the command in-
put window of the "RFIDControl" software supplied with the control interface).
2. Use the terminal program to set the interface configuration to
38400 baud,
8data bits,
no parity,
1 stop bit,
no handshake
protocol: <CHCK><ETX>
3. Switch the device operating voltage off and on.
When the voltage is switched on, the message below appears on the
terminal:
20b.03
2 = Status
0 = IDENTControl channel
b = checksum
.03 = <ETX> = final symbol
The communication from the device to the terminal program functions. The
device is ready for operation.
4. Send the version command VE to the device as confirmation.
The device name, item number and software version of the control
interface and the read/write head are displayed.
Example:
Control interface
00(C) P+F IDENT IC-KP2-2HRX-2V1 #204980 1831464 05/03/10

<CHCK><ETX>
(The software number and the software date may differ. For a description of
the VE command, read the "System commands" section in your control
interface manual.)
If you receive a different response, communication between your PC and the
device has failed. Check the installation and repeat the steps for commissioning
the device.
Note!
Hexadecimal format
In the examples, hexadecimal values are displayed in .03 format. A period is
followed by two characters of hexadecimal code.

Reading Tags
Set the tag type to IUC80. Do this by transmitting the command change tag (see
"Change Read/Write tag CT" on page 34) to the read/write head. Once you have
set this general tag type, all tags can only be addressed via the read/write
commands single read fixcode and enhanced read fixcode (see "Single read
fixcode SF" on page 31 and see "Enhanced read fixcode (EF)" on page 31) .
Change Read/Write Tag
Transmit the command enhanced read fixcode to the read/write head. The LEDs
on the read/write head flash green.
Enhanced Read Read-Only Code
Move a IUC* tag into the read/write head's detection range. When the tag is
detected and the read-only code is read out, the LED on the read/write head turns
yellow. The read-only code is displayed in the terminal program.
Note!
The device makes no distinction between commands entered in upper and lower
case. Make sure that there are no spaces in all parameters that come after the
command.

7.2 Read/Write Commands
Single read fixcode SF
One attempt is made to read a read only code.
Enhanced read fixcode (EF)
This command makes continuous attempts to read a read only code until
successful. If a read only code is read, a signal is sent once to the control
interface. If there is no read only code in the detection area or the transponder
leaves the detection area before the read only code is read, a status 5 message is
sent to the control interface in response.
Single Read Special Read-Only Code SS
This command reads the UII segment from tags from type 72 (EPC Class 1 Gen2)
For the length of an EPC code, set <Length> = 00. The actual length of the EPC
code is defined during the write operation and stored on the tag.
<FData>: <PC> & <UII>
Example:
SS1 0 reads the EPC code.

Enhanced Read Special Read-Only Code ES
This command continuously attempts to read the UII segment of tags from type 72
(EPC Class 1 Gen2). If a UII is read, this is reported once to the control interface. If
there is no UII in the detection range or if the tag leaves the detection range before
the UII is read, a status 5 is reported to the evaluation unit as a response.
For the length of an EPC code, set <Length> = 00. The actual length of the EPC
code is defined during the write operation and stored on the tag.
<FData>: <PC> & <UII>

Antenna Polarization AP
This parameter switches polarization to linear/circular or reads out the currently
set polarization.
Example:
WP1UAP.00.01L switches the polarization to linear
WP1UAP.00.01C switches the polarization to circular
RP1UAP.00.00 reads out the set polarization
Set the polarization according to the read/write tag used (see chapter 5.3.3).
Higher sensitivity if both the read/write head and the read/write tag are
polarized linearly.
There are gaps in the detection range if the read/write head is polarized
linearly.
Power Transmit PT
This parameter sets the transmission power in mW or reads out the set
transmission power.
The transmission power is stated for IUH-F117-V1-EU and IUH-F117-V1-CN in
Werp . The transmission power is stated in W for the read/write head IUH-F117-
V1-USeirp .
Example:
WP1UPT.00.02.00.64 sets 100 mWerp
WP1UPT.00.02.07.D0 sets 2000 mWerp
RP1UPT.00.00 reads out the set transmission power

Operation
Higher range if the transmission power increases.
Possible overreaches if the transmission power increases.
Adjacent read/write heads might be affected if the range increases.
Channel DRM CD (IUH-F117-V1-EU Only)
This parameter sets the sequence of the channels permitted in the DRM (= dense
reader mode) or reads out the sequence of the permitted channels. Only
channels 4, 7, 10 and 13 are available.
Example:
WP1UCD.00.04.07.0A.04.0D defines the sequence 7, 10, 4 and 13 as defined
channels
RP1UCD.00.00 reads out the sequence of permitted channels.
Reset to Default RD
This parameter returns all settings of the IUH-F117-V1-* to its default
configuration.
Example:
WP1URD.00.00
Anti-Collision AC
This parameter switches on/off the anti-collision algorithm for handling several
tags within the detection range or reads out whether the algorithm is switched on
or off.
Example:
WP1UAC.00.01.01 detects several tags in the detection range and provides a
warning with Status A
WP1UAC.00.01.00 does not provide a warning with Status A
RP1UAC when several tags are in the detection range.00.00 reads out whether
the algorithm is switched on or off
Recommendation: Do not alter the settings of this parameter.
When the anti-collision algorithm is switched off:
Shorter access time.
ParamTyp: CD
Default: CD = .07.0A.04.0D

No distinct reading/writing when several tags are within the detection range, no
warning message.
Much more complex collision management when several tags are in the
detection range.
Q-Value QV
The QV parameter controls the multi-tag operating mode for the read/write head.
This operating mode controls the ability to deal with several read/write tags within
the detection range.
The default value is fixed at 0 = single tag mode.
Tries Allowed TA
This parameter sets the permitted number of write or read attempts in the event of
a read or write error between the read/write head and the tag, or reads out the
permitted number of attempts.
Example:
WP1UTA.00.01.01 permits precisely one attempt (= no repeats)
WP1UTA.00.01.03 permits 3 attempts
RP1UTA.00.00 reads out the permitted number of attempts
If the permitted number of write or read attempts between the read/write head and
the tag is increased, this results in:
More reliable reading and writing
An increased response time when reading or writing is not possible
Enhanced Status 5 E5
This parameter sets the number of possible read repeats until a status 5 message
is output for an enhanced command, or reads the number of read repeats.
Example:
WP1UE5.00.01.05 sets the number to 5 possible read repeats
RP1UE5.00.00 reads out the number of possible read repeats
If the number of read repeats is reduced:
Faster response time in enhanced mode.
Status 5 messages in the event of unstable tag reading.
ParamTyp: TA
Default: TA = .03
Value range: .01 to .FF
ParamTyp: E5
Default: E5 = .05

Operation
Memory Bank MB
This parameter specifies the bank which the read/write commands SR, ER, SW
and EW access.
If Bank 01 (UII) is defined as the access range, the Control PC protocol can only
be changed in 16-bit mode. The PC determines many factors, including the length
of the EPC/UII. In 32-bit mode, PC and checksum CRC-16 are written together as
one word The CRC-16 is write-protected
Example:
WP1UMB.00.01.03 sets the bank to User Memory
The response from the reader is a status message. During the read operation, a
status message and the corresponding data are received as the response.

Curve 3 shows the detection range under optimum operating conditions with a
transmission power of 500 mW ERP.
Passing Speed
The passing speed is the speed at which the tag moves through the detection
range of a read/write head. The passing speed determines the time during which
a tag is located within the detection range and therefore the time available for
transmitting data. The passing speed depends on a number of different factors.
Example:
Read/write head with the enhanced read read-only code EF command
continuously attempts to read a read-only code.
Time taken for the read-only code to be successfully read = 20 ms
Distance from the tag to the read/write head = 1.5 m for a detection range of ±30°.
The ideal distance is half the max. read distance as per the datasheet.
Therefore:
Distance covered (s) within the detection range: results from two
attempts s = 2x = 2 · 1.5 m · tan 30° = 1.73 m
Maximum tag speed:
Under industrial operating conditions, a read attempt may need to be repeated.
The time required for this repeat is allowed for when calculating a maximum
speed under real conditions. The maximum speed in this case is therefore
150 km/h.
Please consult Pepperl+Fuchs for specific data on read and write times, as well as
passing speeds.
