Product Description
Bank 00: Password Management
The segment Bank 00 contains the password management information, comprising the
access password and the kill password. The read/write head manages the kill password with
the standard read/write commands SW and SR. The access password is not supported. see
"Single Read Words SR" on page 37, see "Single Write Words SW" on page 38, and see
"Memory Module for Tag Accesses to the "Memory Bank" MB" on page 47.
Bank 01: UII/EPC
In addition to the Unique Item Identifier (UII), the segment Bank 01 contains a calculated
checksum CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) for verifying data on the tag and the protocol
control (PC) area. The PC area contains:
■
The length of the UII
■
The Application Family Identifier (AFI) box
■
A bit switch that shows whether the UII contains an EPC sequence of numbers in
accordance with ISO (see chapter 4.2.4)
■
A bit switch that shows whether data is stored in segment bank 11 (if present)
The data is addressed via the following commands: single read special read-only code (SS),
single write special read-only code (SP), and enhanced read special read-only code (ES). See
"Single Read Special Read-Only Code SS" on page 35, See "Single Write Special Read-Only
Code SP" on page 36, and See "Enhanced Read Special Read-Only Code ES" on page 36.
Bank 10: TID
The segment Bank 10 contains the tag identifier (TID), consisting of the part number and
optional serial number of the tag. This data is permanently stored without being changed. The
first byte denotes the class of the tag with E0 hex, E2 hex, or E3 hex. The rest of the TID depends
on the class, and can be derived from standard ISO/IEC 18000-63.
Example:
All tags with the class EPC Gen 2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63) are marked with E2hex . The TID is
comprised as follows:
■
4 bytes: part number of the tag
■
• 1 byte: identifier
• 12 bits: tag mask designer identifier (MDID)
• 12 bits: tag model number (TMN), defined by the manufacturer:
4 or 8 bytes: serial number of the tag
Depending on the manufacturer, the serial numbers do not have to be unique or may even
be omitted.
The data in segment Bank 10 can be output via the single read read-only code (SF) and
enhanced read read-only code (EF) commands. (see "Single Read Read-Only Code SF" on
page 35 and see "Enhanced Read Read-Only Code EF" on page 35)
Bank 11: User Memory
Segment Bank 11 contains an area to which the user has free access. This size of this area
depends on the chip type, or the area may not be present.
2014-03
The data in segment Bank 11 is addressed via the single read words (SR), single write words
(SW), enhanced read words (ER), and enhanced write words (EW) commands. (see "Single
Read Words SR" on page 37, see "Single Write Words SW" on page 38, see "Enhanced Read
Words ER" on page 37, and see "Enhanced Write Words EW" on page 38)

IUH-F190-V1-*
Product Description
4.2.4
Electronic Product Code (EPC)
The electronic product code is a unique identifier in the form of a sequence of numbers. The
number sequence has a set structure and a length of 64 bits, 80 bits, 96 bits, or longer
(depending on the EPC Ident number used). This number sequence is saved to the RFID tag,
offering worldwide unique identification of the tagged object.
The system of Electronic Product Codes (EPC) was defined by GS1/EPCglobal for use in
inventory management. Tags with memory banks for EPC codes must be programmed by the
user. The memory of new tags must not contain any valid EPC codes. The EPC numbers are
managed and assigned by GS1. To obtain EPC numbers, please contact the GS1 branch in
your country (http://www.gs1.com/contact).
The electronic product code is defined by EPCglobal with at present 13 different encryptions.
SGTIN-96 (serialized global trade item number) is given here as an example of a frequently
used encryption. SGTIN-96 has a defined format, and is structured as follows:
1. Header: The header specifies the EPC standard used, and denotes the number sequence.
2. Filter value: Denotes the unit of the product, for example, end product, additional packaging, pallet.
3. Partition: Denotes the point at which the following company prefix ends and the object
data begins.
4. Company Prefix: Assigned sequence of numbers that identifies the producer.
5. Object class: Sequence of numbers that describes the object, e.g., item number.
The company prefix and the object class are each of variable length, but together are always 44 bits long.
6. Serial number: Sequence of numbers that identifies the item, for example, the sequential
serial number of the item.

To work with unique number sequences without having to use sometimes expensive EPC
codes, we recommend using the TID of the tag, which is programmed into the tag chips by the
semiconductor manufacturer.
4.2.5
Influence of various materials on the sensing range
2014-03
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.

Dense Reader Mode (DRM)
Europe
A special operating mode for read/write tags in accordance with the specification EPC Gen 2
(ISO/IEC 18000-63) allows several read/write heads to be operated close to each other
simultaneously without interference.
In accordance with EN 302208, the read/write head uses only channels 4, 7, 10, and 13 in this
mode for transmission (read/write head
read/write tag communication path). The
transmission power is a maximum of 2 Werp in accordance with EN 302208.

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. Due to the high level
difference between the transmission channels and the response channels, this technology
offers major benefits for reusing frequencies.

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 against your purchase order and the shipping documents for:
■
Delivery quantity
■
Device type and version in accordance with the type label
■
Any accessories ordered
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 is intended for wall mounting or mounting on brackets in internal areas.
Please mount the read/write head using only the holes provided in the housing. The preferred
mounting direction is with the cable connection facing vertically downwards.
Note!
Do not lay the connection cable in the main beam direction of the antenna.
5.3.1
Room Orientation
The alignment of the read/write tag antennae in relation to the antennae of the read/write head
influences the detection range of the system. Make sure the antennae are aligned parallel to
each other.

Minimum 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 be at least 50 cm.

Figure 5.1
During simultaneous operation of several read/write heads, only one read/write head may ever
communicate with a tag at any given time. When arranging the read/write heads, make sure
that the measurement ranges do not overlap. You can enlarge or reduce the size of the
measurement range by changing the transmitting power. Determine the measurement range of
each read/write head at the mounting location.
Note!
During mounting, take into account how the read/write heads may cause interference with each
other. The further the transmission channels of the read/write heads are from each other, the
lower the risk of interference.
If you want to transmit with just one read/write head at any given time, use the multiplex mode
of the IDENTControl control interface. Multiplex operating mode allows chronologically
exclusive access to tags, and prevents mutual interference from read/write heads. For a precise
description, see the manual for your control interface.
5.3.3
Polarization
The polarization of the electromagnetic wave radiated by an antenna depends on the
electromagnetic field component and the position of the antenna. Polarization can be either
linear or circular. To achieve a UHF system's maximum detection range, the read/write head's
polarization must match the tag's polarization. Refer to the respective data sheet to find the
polarization of the tag.
■
Circular polarization: when an electromagnetic wave has circular polarization, the vector
of the electromagnetic field component rotates around an axis parallel to the direction of
emission. The rotation of the antenna around the transmission axis has no effect.
2014-03
■
Linear polarization: when an electromagnetic wave has linear polarization, the direction of
the vector of the electromagnetic field component is constant. Linear polarization can be
either vertical or horizontal. This characteristic depends on the position of the antenna.
25
IUH-F190-V1-*
Installation
The IUH-F190-V1-FR* read/write head has circular polarization by default. You can switch the
polarization to horizontally linear polarization or vertically linear polarization via the
IDENTControl interface software. The linear polarization plane refers to the preferred mounting
direction with the cable connection mounted vertically downwards.
Figure 5.2
1 = vertikal polarization plane
2 = horizontal polarization plane
Note!
You cannot switch the polarization on the IUH-F190-V1-EU read/write head. This read/write
head has an almost circular polarized antenna. Owing to its small size, the antenna polarization
is not perfectly circular, but elliptical. This means the antenna may have a preferred alignment.
5.4
Connection
Connect the read/write head to the IDENTControl control interface using a shielded connection
cable (see chapter 4.8.3). Ensure that the shield is end-to-end to avoid EMC interference. (see
chapter 5.5)
Warning!
Incorrect electrical connection
Damage to the device or plant caused by incorrect electrical connection.
Check all connections in the plant before commissioning the device.
2014-03
After connecting the supply voltage to the control interface, the POWER LED lights up green on
the device. If the LED does not light up on the device, the power supply is not connected
correctly.

IUH-F190-V1-*
Installation
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.
write head
IDENTControl
INTERBUS
Control
The cable shielding is used to discharge electromagnetic interference. When shielding a cable,
you must connect both sides of the shield to ground with low resistance and low inductance.
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.
Note!
2014-03
The circuit ground is conductively connected to the housing of the write/read head and to the
protective ground. (Connection image

Operation
Operation
7.1
General
The sections below contain information about the commands that relate to the read/write head
IUH-F190-V1-*. The commands are described using the example of an IDENTControl control
interface with serial interface. All other generally applicable commands and error or status
messages can be found in the manual for your IDENTControl control interface.
7.2
Basic Command Process
Interference Due to Multipath Propagation
The electromagnetic waves radiated by the read/write head do not just follow the direct route to
the tag, but are also reflected off objects in the vicinity, meaning that multiple partial waves
overlap with the waves radiated by the read/write head.
This overlap causes interference (i.e., exaggeration and dampening of the reception field
strength), leading to almost complete degradation. Depending on the environment, several
reflections may occur with differing intensity and distance. These different reflections lead to a
field strength in the measurement range that is difficult to predict. In the areas of degradation,
the prevailing field strength is weaker than the minimum detection field strength of the tag. As a
result, the tag cannot be activated for communication. Exaggeration of the field strength may
lead to unwanted excessive detection ranges.
1. Measurement Range
2. Degradation
3. Excessive detection ranges
The reflections and the resulting inhomogeneity of the field strength depend on the frequency
used. The absolute value of the field strength depends on the transmission power. Since the
tags move in the measurement range of the read/write head, and the environment can change,
it is advisable to repeat the commands at different transmission frequencies and at varying
power. Different transmission frequencies are advisable, since the manufacturing tolerances
and the immediate environment of the tag have an effect the tag's resonance frequency.
Several Tags in the Measurement Range
2014-03
Each read or write command can access one, several, or all tags in a measurement range. The
process is controlled by filter masks, which are managed via the commands Set Filter Mask
(FI) and Activate/Deactivate Filter (MF). These commands allow you to detect specific tags in
the measurement range. see chapter 7.5.
33
IUH-F190-V1-*
Operation
Read Algorithm
To communicate with tags with the maximum possible probability, the read/write head uses an
algorithm that varies the transmitting power and frequency. You can set the corresponding
values for this algorithm via the parameters Power Transmit (PT), Channel Frequency (CD), or
Number of Channels (NC) for the frequency hopping spread spectrum, and Number of
Attempts (TA). The number of set attempts is executed for each pairing of power and
frequency. This process takes a long time, but leads to a high read/write rate. The algorithm
runs through all combinations because it may be the case that a tag can be detected only by
one specific combination of power and frequency. This applies when the read/write head uses
a programmable frequency list as the frequency access method. This frequency list is defined
by parameter CD.
If the country identifier (RC) specifies a frequency hopping spread spectrum, the channels
defined there are used. This is not influenced by the programmable frequency list. You can
adjust the number of channels used for each attempt via the Number of Channels parameter
(NC).
With the parameter Search Algorithm Cancellation Criteria (NT), you can specify the number of
tags to be processed. If you know the number of tags in the measurement range, you can use
this total number as the value for parameter NT. If the number of tags found corresponds to or
exceeds the value defined in parameter NT, the algorithm cancels any further runs to save time.
Tip
If analysis of a specific application shows that a particular frequency and transmission power
are sufficient to execute commands successfully, the parameters can be set accordingly,
subject to national legislation. This measure reduces the processing time.

SF1 reads the read-only code to IDENTControl channel 1.
Enhanced Read Read-Only Code EF
This command continuously attempts to read a read-only code (TID). If a read-only code is
read, this is reported once to the control interface. If there is no tag in the measurement range,
or if the tag leaves the measurement range, a status 5 message is reported to the control
interface.
Command: EF
Response:
= Length of the in ASCIIhex
Example:
EF1 continuously reads the read-only code to IDENTControl channel 1
Single Read Special Read-Only Code SS
This command reads the UII segment from tags according to EPC Gen2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63).
Command: SS 0
Response:
F 0001
Example:

Single Write Special Read-Only Code SP
This command writes a byte long UII/EPC code to tags according to EPC Gen 2
(ISO/IEC 18000-63).
Command: SP
Response: F 0001
The data length must be a whole number multiple of 2 bytes because in accordance
with EPC Gen 2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63), must be written in 16-bit words. Only the
lengths 2 dec , 4 dec, ... 14dec (= 2ASCII , 4 ASCII , ..., EASCII ) are permissible. The length is shown in
hexadecimal format, and includes the length of PC and UII/EPC. If a UII/EPC of 96 bits is
written, this results in 2 + 12 = 14 bytes = EASCII Byte.
= Length of the in ASCII hex
= &

Example:
SP1E.30.00.30.14.F7.33.7C.00.1F.00.00.03.1C.6E writes the value ".30.00" for , and the
UII/EPC code ".30.14.F7.33.7C.00.1F.00.00.03.1C.6E" with a length of 2 + 12 bytes = 14 bytes
to IDENTControl channel 1.
In accordance with EPC Gen 2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63), the protocol control word consists of two
bytes. The five highest value bits denote the length of the in words (= 16 bit):
36
2014-03
When using this command, make sure that the protocol control word contains the correct
length of the following UII/EPC. If this is not executed correctly, the complete data is not output
on the subsequent read operation because the command SS uses the length in the protocol
control word for the output.

The meaning of the remaining bits is described in EPC Gen 2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63). If a UII/EPC
has the length 12 bytes, i.e., 6 words (00110 bin), and all other bits are equal to 0, the protocol
control word corresponds to 00110000 00000000 bin or 3000hex . If some of the other bits are
not equal to 0, this produces a different protocol control word.
Note!
Several Tags in the Measurement Range
If there is more than one tag in the measurement range when this command is run, the UII is
written to the first tag only. Status A is output for all other tags.
Single Read Words SR
One attempt is made to read 32-bit words from address .
Command: SR
Response:
F 0001
Example:
SR1000101 reads a 4-byte word from memory address "0001."
Note!
The memory bank (MB) parameter defines the bank accessed by this command. see
"Memory Module for Tag Accesses to the "Memory Bank" MB" on page 47.
Enhanced Read Words ER

IUH-F190-V1-*
Operation
Kill UHF Tag KI
This command sets a UHF tag to a state where no further access is possible. The command
can be executed only if a valid password has previously been set in segment Bank 00 via the
command SW. The password must be at least 1 bit that is not equal to zero.
Command: KI .30.30 < UIIData>
Response:
F 0001
= Mask length for the UII/EPC in bits, values: 00 ... FF, always begins at Address 0.
The information is entered as 2 hexASCII characters.
= Specification of the mask for the UII, in bytes
= Password for killing a UHF tag, 4 bytes
= Recommission bits, always set to zero
Example:
KI10018.E2.00.90abcd.00 kills a UHF tag with a UII starting ".E2.00.90" and using the
password "abcd."
7.5
Filter Commands
Each read or write command can access one, several, or all tags in a measurement range. The
process is controlled by filter masks, which are managed via the commands Set Filter Mask
(FI) and Activate/Deactivate Filter (MF). These commands allow you to detect specific tags in
the measurement range. see chapter 7.5.
Set Filter Mask FI
Using command FI, you can define a filter mask for accessing the tags located in the box. You
can define up to 3 filters (0-2). The following syntax is used:
Command: FI 0
Response:
= Memory segment to which the filter is to be applied. The information is entered
as one hex ASCII character.
= Address of the bit at which the filter mask begins. Specified in hexASCII .
Values: 0000 … FFFF
= Length of the mask in bits. The information is entered as 2 hex ASCII
characters.
= Defines the actual filter mask
Example:
There are three tags in the measurement range of the read/write head. Each tag has a unique
identifier of & :
&
1st Tag
.34.00.E2.00.92.01.20.51.70.00.00.00.02.76
2nd Tag .34.00.E2.00.92.01.20.51.70.00.00.00.02.66
3rd Tag
.34.00.E2.00.90.51.33.02.00.92.18.20.56.15

Actual Mask
Owing to the structure of the memory bank for UII/EPC (
see Figure 4.1 on page 12), the
start address is located at bit 16. The CRC-16 value occupies the memory position from bit 0
through bit 15; the PC starts at bit 16.
If you activate the filter with the command MF, and then execute command SS10, you receive
only one response from the corresponding tag even if other tags are located in the
measurement range:
.34.00.E2.00.90.51.33.02.00.92.18.20.56.15
The value controls the mask comparison. 0 = not negated, 1 = negated. If you
negate the filtering by setting the value in the command
FI101100001028.34.00.E2.00.90, you receive a response from the tags that does not match
the filter:
.34.00.E2.00.92.01.20.51.70.00.00.00.02.76
.34.00.E2.00.92.01.20.51.70.00.00.00.02.66
If you prefer to filter only at the start of , and ignore the , send the command
FI101000002018.E2.00.90. The start address is 20hex , the mask length has 24 bits, and the
mask is .E2.00.90.
The value logically links several filters with each other and is evaluated
only if more than one filter is used. If only one filter is used, this value is ignored. 0 = OR, 1 =
AND
Other examples include:
FI102000000018.E2.00.10 sets filter 0 so that all tags with a TID beginning with .E2.00.10 are
detected.
FI111100002008.22 sets filter 1 so that all tags whose UII/EPC do not begin .22 are detected.
FI1010100010700.00123456789012 sets filter 0 so that the tag with the SpecialFixcode
(PC+UII/EPC) 0.00123456789012 is detected.
2014-03
The letter x can be used as a wildcard for the channel and filter number. Command
FIxx0000000000 resets the three filters for all IDENTControl channels.

IUH-F190-V1-*
Operation
Activate/Deactivate Filter MF
Command MF activates or deactivates the filter masks.
Command: MF
Response:
The following values are possible:
0 = Deactivate filter masks
1 = Activate filter masks - mode 1
2 = Activate filter masks - mode 2
Example:
MF11 activates the filter masks for IDENTControl channel 1
Command MF - Mode 1
In total, there are 15 tags in the measurement range of the read/write head, with three groups of
five marked as either A, B, or C. The filter is now set to "B" by the command FI.
If you execute command MF11 (Activate Filter - Mode 1), this command affects all subsequent
commands.
If a write command is executed next, all "B" tags in the measurement range are selected and
are assigned a 'Selected' flag. The write command is executed only for tags with a Selected
flag.
When the filter is set to "B", command MF11 (Filter Activated - Mode 1) selects all "B" tags; the
following commands address the selected "B" tags.
Read/write head
Tags "A", "B", "C"
Filter mask
Selected flag
Command MF - Mode 2
2014-03
In total, there are 15 tags in the measurement range of the read/write head, with three groups of
five marked as either A, B, or C. The filter is set to "B" by command FI.
If you execute command MF12 (Activate Filter - Mode 2), this command affects all subsequent
commands.
If a write command is executed next, all tags in the measurement range that are not "B" tags are
selected. These tags are assigned a 'Selected' flag. The write command is executed only for
tags with no Selected flag.
41
IUH-F190-V1-*
Operation
When the filter is set to "B," command MF12 (Filter Activated - Mode 2) selects all "A" and "C"
tags, and the following commands address the unselected "B" tags.
Read/write head
Tags "A", "B", "C"
Filter mask inverted
Selected flag
Difference Between Command MF - Mode 1 and Command MF - Mode 2
In both cases, the subsequent commands are applied only to the "B" tags in the measurement
range.
With MF11, "B" tags are assigned a Selected flag. With MF12, "B" tags are not assigned a
Selected flag.
If a "D" tag with a Selected flag from the operation of a different read/write head enters the
measurement range, this "D" tag will execute the subsequent commands if MF11 is activated. If
MF12 is activated, this "D" tag will not execute the subsequent commands.
7.6
7.6.1
Configuration Commands
The response to a configuration command is a status message from the read/write head.
During the read operation, a status message and the corresponding data are received as the
response.
ChangeTag Command
This command tells the R/W system with which tag type to communicate.
Command: CT
Response:
Default:
80
Example:
CT180 sets the tag type for IDENTControl channel 1 to IUC80
CT180 sets a generally valid tag type, which allows the read-only code to be read out for each
tag, and therefore provides information about the chip type of the tag.
The IUH-F190-V1-* read/write head uses only tag type 80.
