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 42, see "Single Write Words SW" on page 42, and see
"Memory Module for Tag Accesses to the "Memory Bank" MB" on page 52.
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 3.2.4)
■
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 40, see "Single Write Special Read-Only
Code SP" on page 41, and see "Enhanced Read Special Read-Only Code ES" on page 40.
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 E2
hex
. 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 39 and see "Enhanced Read Read-Only Code EF" on page 39)
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.
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 42, see "Single Write Words SW" on page 42, see "Enhanced Read

IUH-F190-V1-*, IUT-F190-R4-V1*
Product Description
3.2.4 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 encoding
schemes. SGTIN-96 (serialized global trade item number) is given here as an example of a
frequently used encoding scheme. SGTIN-96 has a defined format, and is structured as
follows:
1. Header: The header specifies the EPC standard used, and denotes the number se-
quence.
2. Filter value: Denotes the unit of the product, for example, end product, additional pack-
aging, 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 al-
ways 44 bits long.
6. Serial number: Sequence of numbers that identifies the item, e.g., the sequential serial
number of the item.
3.2.5 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.

3.2.6 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 W
ERP
in accordance with EN 302208.
Figure 3.1
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.

Product Description
3.2.7 Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
With FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum), the information to be transmitted is
distributed successively through multiple channels. Only one frequency channel is used at any
one time. This results in a larger bandwidth for the entire signal, in spite of the fact that each
channel has a smaller bandwidth. In this section the channel assignment for China and the
USA is shown graphically. For both assignments, different parameters apply, such as channel
number and channel bandwidth. Different parameterizations apply in other countries.
China
In China, the frequency range 920 MHz ... 925 MHz is available for UHF-RFID read/write
heads. The range is split into channels, each with a bandwidth of 250 kHz. A maximum of 2
W
ERP
is permitted on 16 of the available channels. The transmission power is indicated in
W
ERP
. FHSS is used with a maximum retention time of two seconds. The UHF RFID read/write
head for China uses channel 2 to 17.
Figure 3.2
United States
The ISM band from 902 MHz ... 928 MHz is available in the USA. The band is split into 50
channels, each with a 500 kHz bandwidth. FHSS with a maximum retention time of 0.4
seconds is used. All channels must be used. Channel restriction is not permitted.
In contrast to the read/write heads for Europe and China, the transmission power is indicated in
W
eirp
. A maximum of 4 W
eirp
is permitted on all channels.

3.3 Countries of Use
The frequency access procedure used is part of the country-specific settings.
Frequency Access Method
■
In many countries, including the USA and China, a frequency hopping spread spectrum is
used. See chapter 3.2.7. The number and position of the frequencies is fixed and cannot
be changed by the user. All channels are used.
■
A programmable frequency list is used in other countries, including the European Union,
Singapore, Vietnam, and India. You can compile this frequency list from a specified set of

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.
To attach the read/write head, use 3 screws with a diameter of 4 mm, as well as mounting
materials that are suitable for the type of mounting surface. The tightening torque of the screws
depends on the type of mounting.
Warning!

4.3.2 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 4.2
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.
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.
4.3.3 Polarization
The polarization of the electromagnetic wave emitted by an antenna depends on the type of
antenna and is defined for the electromagnetic field component of the electromagnetic wave.
Polarization can be either linear or circular. In the case of an electromagnetic wave with linear
polarization, the direction of the vector of the electromagnetic field component is spatially
constant and therefore dependent on the position of the antenna. Linear polarization can be
either vertical or horizontal.
To achieve the maximum detection range for a UHF system, the polarization of the read/write
head must match the polarization of the tag so that both have the same spatial orientation.
Refer to the relevant data sheet to find the polarization of the tag.

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.

Installation

The integrated antenna of the read/write head has dual linear polarization. The read/write head
operates in combined mode by default. In combined mode, both horizontal and vertical
polarization are used for each read/write access. This increases the reading reliability of tags
with an unknown location in the room.
If the orientation of the tags is known, you can optimize the access time by setting a fixed
polarization. To do this, you can switch the polarization to horizontally linear polarization or
vertically linear polarization in the software. The linear polarization plane refers to the preferred
mounting direction with the cable connection mounted vertically downwards.
Figure 4.3 = Vertical polarization plane
= Horizontal polarization plane
4.4 Connection
Connect the IUH-F190-V1-* read/write head to the IDENTControl control interface using a
shielded cordset (see chapter 3.8.3). Ensure that the shield fully encapsulates the connection
cable to avoid EMC interference. (see chapter 4.5)
Connect the IUT-F190-R4-V1-* read/write head to the higher level control unit using a shielded
cordset. Ensure that the shield is fully encapsulating so that interference is dissipated via the
protective earth connections to avoid EMC disturbances.
After connecting the supply voltage, the POWER LED on the device lights up green. If the LED
does not light up on the device, the power supply is not connected correctly.

4.5 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 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.
write head ControlIDENTControl INTERBUS
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!
The circuit ground is conductively connected to the housing of the write/read head and to the
protective ground. (Connection image see Figure 3.5 on page 24)

6.1 General
The sections below contain information about the commands that relate to your read/write
head. The commands are described using the example of an IDENTControl control interface
with serial interface. All other generally applicable commands and error messages or status
messages can be found in the manual for your IDENTControl control interface.
Commissioning of the IUT-F190-R4-V1-* read/write head with integrated RS-485 interface is
also carried out using the commands and parameters described. For details regarding the IUT
F190-R4-V1-* read/write head see chapter 6.7
6.2 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.

2. Degradation
3. Excessive detection ranges
Warning!
Hot surfaces
Be careful not to burn your fingers when handling the device! After shutting down the device,
wait at least half an hour before handling the device.

IUH-F190-V1-*, IUT-F190-R4-V1*
Operation
The reflections and the resulting spatial 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 on the tag's resonance
frequency.
Several Tags in the Measurement Range
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 6.5.
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 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.
6.3 Command Overview
The commands in the list are described in detail on the following pages.
Read/Write Commands
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.

Single Write Special Read-Only Code SP
This command writes a <Length> octet long UII/EPC code to tags according to EPC Gen 2
(ISO/IEC 18000-63).
The data length <Length> must be a whole number multiple of 2 octets because in accordance
with EPC Gen 2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63), <UII/EPC> must be written in 16-bit words. Only the
lengths 2
dec
, 4
dec
, ... 14
dec
(= 2
ASCII
, 4
ASCII
, ..., E
ASCII
) 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 octets = E
ASCII
octet.
<Length> = Length of the <SpecialFixcode> in ASCII
hex
<SpecialFixcode> = <PC> & <UII/EPC>
<PC> corresponds to the protocol control word in accordance with EPC Gen 2 (ISO/IEC
18000-63), 2 octets long.
<UII/EPC> contains the usage data.
Example:
SP1E.30.00.30.14.F7.33.7C.00.1F.00.00.03.1C.6E writes the value ".30.00" for <PC>, and the
UII/EPC code ".30.14.F7.33.7C.00.1F.00.00.03.1C.6E" with a length of 2 + 12 octets = 14
octets to IDENTControl channel 1.
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.
In accordance with EPC Gen 2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63), the protocol control word consists of two
octets. The five highest value bits denote the length of the <UII/EPC> in words (= 16 bit):
The meaning of the remaining bits is described in EPC Gen 2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63). If a UII/EPC
has the length 12 octets, i.e., 6 words (00110
bin
), and all other bits are equal to 0, the protocol
control word corresponds to 00110000 00000000
bin
or 3000
hex
. If some of the other bits are
not equal to 0, this produces a different protocol control word.

16-Bit Read/Write Commands
The read/write commands SR, ER, SW, and EW are interpreted as 16-bit versions by means of
a preceding # symbol.
The 16-bit read/write commands behave in the same way as the 32-bit versions.
■
16-bit commands write or read a word with a length of 2 bytes.
■
32-bit commands write or read a word with a length of 4 bytes.
Example:
#SW1000202ABCD corresponds to SW1000101ABCD

6.5 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 6.5.
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:
<MemBank> = Memory segment to which the filter is to be applied. The information is entered
as one hex
ASCII
character.
<StartAddress> = Address of the bit at which the filter mask begins. Specified in hex
ASCII
.
Values: 0000 FFFF
<MaskLength> = Length of the mask in bits. The information is entered as 2 hex
ASCII
characters.
<MaskData> = 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 <PC> & <UII/EPC>:
If you want to detect the 3rd tag, the filter mask is: FI101000001028.34.00.E2.00.90
Meaning of Bits
Command: FI <ChanNo> <FilterNumber> <MemBank>
<Negate> <LogicalOperation> 0
<StartAddress> <MaskLength> <MaskData>
<CHCK> <ETX>
Response: <Status> <ChanNo> <CHCK> <ETX>
<PC> & <UII/EPC>
1. Tag .34.00.E2.00.92.01.20.51.70.00.00.00.02.76
2. Tag .34.00.E2.00.92.01.20.51.70.00.00.00.02.66
3. Tag .34.00.E2.00.90.51.33.02.00.92.18.20.56.15
Command FI = Command
<ChanNo> 1= Channel 1
<FilterNumber> 0= First filter used, filter number = 0

Operation
2017-12
45
Owing to the structure of the memory bank for UII/EPC ( see image 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 <Negate> controls the mask comparison. 0 = not negated, 1 = negated. If you
negate the filtering by setting the value <Negate> 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 <UII/EPC>, and ignore the <PC>, send the command
FI101000002018.E2.00.90. The start address is 20
hex
, the mask length has 24 bits, and the
mask is .E2.00.90.
The value <LogicalOperation> 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.
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.
Activate/Deactivate Filter MF
Command MF activates or deactivates the filter masks.
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
<MaskLength> 28 = Mask length, 28

Operation
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.
Command MF - Mode 2
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.

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.
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.
6.6 Configuration Commands
The response to a configuration command is a status message from the read/write head.

6.6.2 Parameters
Antenna Polarization AP
This parameter switches polarization to horizontally linear, vertically linear, or combined mode,
or reads out the polarization currently set.
Example:
WP1UAP.00.01H switches the polarization to horizontally linear
WP1UAP.00.01C switches the polarization to combined mode

IUH-F190-V1-*, IUT-F190-R4-V1*
Operation
Set the polarization according to the read/write tag used (see chapter 4.3.3). You can achieve a
better detection range if the polarization of the read/write head corresponds to the polarization
of the read/write tag.
Set the polarization to combined mode if the orientation of the tag is not known. In combined
mode, first horizontal polarization and then vertical polarization is used for each read/write
attempt. This achieves the same results as when circular polarization is used. The duration of
the read/write operation is extended in combined mode.
CD Transmission Channels
Frequency Access Method Programmable frequency list:
This parameter sets the number and sequence of transmission channels or reads out the
number and sequence of transmission channels.
Frequency Access Method Frequency hopping spread spectrum:
This parameter reads out the number and sequence of transmission channels for the
frequency hopping spread spectrum.
Example:
WP1UCD.00.04.07.0A.04.0D defines the sequence 7, 10, 4, and 13 as the permitted
transmission channels
WP1UCD.00.01.0A allows the read/write head to use only transmission channel 10
RP1UCD.00.00 reads out the sequence of permitted transmission channels
Number of Unsuccessful Attempts until Status 5 "Enhanced Status 5" E5
This parameter sets the number of unsuccessful read/write attempts until a status 5 is output for
an enhanced command, or outputs the number.
Status 0 and status A depend on this parameter, and are output immediately.
Example:
WP1UE5.00.01.05 sets the number to 5 unsuccessful read/write attempts until a status 5 is
output
RP1UE5.00.00 outputs the number
If the number of read/write attempts is reduced:
Faster response time in enhanced mode.
ParamTyp: CD
Default: Depending on the country-specific settings,
see chapter 3.3.
Value range: Depending on the country-specific settings,
see chapter 3.3.
Tip
If you have parameterized several transmission channels with the parameter CD, the read/write
head executes each write or read command on all defined transmission channels sequentially
according to the defined sequence. If several additional transmission power values are
parameterized (see "Transmission Power "Power Transmit" PT" on page 54), all set
transmission powers are executed on each transmission channel for each read or write
command. See chapter 6.2.

Read Out Filter Mask "Filter List" FL
Parameter FL contains the current configuration of the filter masks as set during execution of
command FI. The output format corresponds to the data input format of command FI without
the filter number. The parameter can only be read, but not set.
Example:
RP1UFL.00.01.02 outputs the current configuration of filter 2
Output Additional Information, "Information" IF
Parameter IF allows you to output additional information providing that the reading was
successful and the multiframe protocol is activated. See "Protocol Mode QV" on page 55. The
additional information is the RSSI value of the reading, the transmission channel used, and
transmitting power of this reading.
Example:
WP1UIF.00.01.01 prompts the read/write head to output additional information after each
successful reading.
RP1UIF.00.00 outputs the value of parameter IF.
The additional information is output in the following format:
B<ChanNo> <InfoTyp> <RSSI> <TxChannel> <TxPower>
To distinguish the additional information from the standard outputs, the output begins with the
status B as the first ASCII character, followed by the IDENTControl channel. This is followed by
the <InfoTyp>, which indicates that this is a type .01 information frame. The output ends with
the RSSI value (1 byte), the transmission channel used (1 byte), and the power used (2 bytes).
The RSSI value is between 0 (= low) and 100 (= high).

EW. See chapter 3.2.3.
Example:
WP1UMB.00.01.03 sets the bank to User Memory
Retrieve Additional Information MD
This parameter allows you to retrieve information about the last successful tag access. This
returns the RSSI value with a length of 1 byte, the transmission channel used with a length of 1
byte, and the transmitting power with a length of 2 bytes. The RSSI value may be between 0 (=
low) and 100 (= high).
Parameter MD allows the same data to be accessed in the single-frame protocol as is available
in the multiframe protocol with parameter IF. See "Protocol Mode QV" on page 55 and see
"Output Additional Information, "Information" IF" on page 51.

Number of Channels NC
Frequency Access Method Frequency hopping spread spectrum:
Parameter NC indicates the number of channels on which a write or read attempt is performed.
If the value 4 is set, the read/write head attempts to read the tag on 4 different frequencies
when a read command is given. The parameter can be read and written.
Frequency Access Method Programmable frequency list:
The parameter can be read only. The parameter specifies the number of transmission channels
on which parameter CD is set.
Example:
WP1UNC.00.01.02 allows two channels for a read attempt.
RP1UNC.00.00 reads out the permitted number of channels set.
Search Algorithm Cancellation Criteria "number of tags to find" NT
Parameter NT specifies the number of tags in the measurement range that the read/write head
searches for. Each command is repeated in accordance with the parameters Transmission
Power (PT), Transmission Channel (CD) or Number of Channels (NC), and Number of
Attempts (TA) (see chapter 6.2). If the number of tags found during the repeat operations
reaches or exceeds the NT value, all further runs are canceled. The command is canceled, and
the data is output.
If the number of tags is set to 255 (= .FF), the function is deactivated. This parameter does not
affect "enhanced" commands, but only "single" commands.
Example:
The value WP1UNT.00.01.05 sets the number of tags in the measurement range for which the
read/write head searches to 5.
RP1UNT.00.00 outputs the set value.

Transmission Power "Power Transmit" PT
This parameter sets the transmission power in mW or reads out the transmission power set.
Example:
WP1UPT.00.02.00.32 sets the transmission power to 50 mW
RP1UPT.00.00 reads out the transmission power currently set
Higher detection range if you increase the transmission power.
Possible excessive detection ranges if you increase the transmission power.
Adjacent read/write heads might be affected if the range increases.
ParamTyp: PT
Default: Depending on the country-specific settings,
see chapter 3.3.
Value range: Depending on the country-specific settings,
see chapter 3.3.
Tip
The highest transmission power does not necessarily lead to the largest read range. Vary the
transmission power to achieve the optimum read result.
Note!
You can operate the read/write head only with internally specified transmission power. You can
use the command WP1UPT.00.02.xx.xx in the software to enter any transmission power within
the specified range of values. The read/write head automatically sets the transmission power to
the next lowest value available. Any entries outside the specified value range are returned as
errors. Command RP1UPT.00.00 allows you to read out the power value that is currently set.
Tip
You can parameterize the read/write head with several transmission power values:
Command WP1UPT.00.06.00.14.00.32.00.64 sets 3 transmission power values for 20 mW, 50
mW, and 100 mW. Each read and write command is executed in succession for all 3
transmission power values. If 1 or more tags are found and successfully read/written for the first
transmission power, the command is still executed with all other transmission powers to reach
any other tags that may be available.
You can specify a maximum of 10 transmission power values. If several additional transmission
channels are selected (see "CD Transmission Channels" on page 50), all set powers are
executed on each transmission channel for each read or write command. See chapter 6.2.

Protocol Mode QV
Parameter QV toggles the output protocol between single frame and multiframe.
In single-frame protocol, the output corresponds to the Pepperl+Fuchs standard in LF and HF
systems. If there is more than one tag in the measurement range, status A is output as a
warning.
In the multiframe protocol, each tag that responded is output. An output is then issued which
begins with status F, contains the number of responses, and completes the full command
output.
Example:
WP1UQV.00.01.4D sets the protocol to multiframe.
RP1UQV.00.00 outputs the set protocol mode.
If QV = M, the following responses are made to a single read command (SR):
One read command was executed to which three tags responded. For each tag, the status, the
IDENTControl channel, the length of the UII, the UII, the length of the data, and the read data
are output. Then an output is issued with status F, the IDENTControl channel, and the number
of tags that responded.

Q Value QW
In accordance with EPC Gen 2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63), the slotted ALOHA principle is used for
anticollision. The number of time slots is defined as 2
Q
. The parameter QW defines the Q
value. As a guide, the number of time slots should roughly correspond to the number of
expected tags in the measurement range.
Example:
WP1UQW.00.01.04 sets the Q value to 4. The read/write head therefore works with 2
4
= 16
time slots.
RP1UQW.00.00 outputs the set Q value.
Country Identifier, "Region Code"
The RC parameter reads out the country identifier.
Example:
RP1URC.00.00 reads out the set country identifier.
The country identifier consists of 2 bytes. The first byte always has the value 80. The second
byte corresponds to the country identifier. The serial response .30.31.80.01 indicates the
country identifier for Europe.

Transmission Pauses in "Sensing Mode" SM
The parameter SM defines a pause time in milliseconds. This pause time is executed once all
runs are complete.
This parameter is especially useful for continuous operation with "enhanced" commands (see
chapter 6.4). If you specify transmission pauses, you can operate the read/write head at higher
ambient temperatures.
Example:
WP1USM.00.02.27.10 sets the pause time to 10,000 ms = 10 seconds.
RP1USM.00.00 reads out the pause time.
Number of Attempts "Tries Allowed" TA
This parameter sets the permitted number of write or read attempts, or outputs the permitted

Operation
WP1UTA.00.01.03 permits 3 attempts
RP1UTA.00.00 outputs 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.
Increased response time.
6.7 Read/Write Head IUT-F190-R4-V1-* with Integrated RS-485 Interface
The IUT-F190-R4-V1-* read/write head is connected to the RS-485 serial interface of the
parent device via a point-to-point connection. The read/write head has an internal terminator on
the RS-485 interface. Only 1 read/write head can be connected within an RS-485 network. It is
not possible to build an RS-485 network with multiple read/write heads.
The read/write head can be used in single-drop-mode and in multi-drop mode. In single-drop-
mode, the read/write head first executes the respective command and then sends the
response. This may take a few seconds. In multi-drop mode, the read/write head immediately
sends the confirmation that the read head has understood the command. The read head then
starts to execute the command. The actual result of the command must be queried by polling
the read/write head.
The IUT-F190-R4-V1-* read/write head is set to single-drop mode at the factory.
Define Function DF
This command is used to switch operating mode:
Single-drop --> Multi-drop
Multi-drop --> Single-drop
After changing the operating mode, a power supply reset or an "RS" command must be
executed to activate the required operating mode.
6.7.1 Single-drop mode
In this operating mode, the read/write head first executes a command and then sends the
response. This may take a few seconds. The command syntax is identical to the syntax of the
read/write heads with the IDENTControl control interface, but does not contain the channel
number <ChanNo>.
Note!
If you use an RS-485/RS-422 to RS-232 converter with automatic baud rate and mode
detection, communication problems may occur due to incorrect detection of these parameters.
In this case, select the operating mode of the converter manually.
Command: DF42 <CHCK> <ETX>
Command: DF <DeviceNo> 41 <CHCK> <ETX>
Example!
Command: <CommandCode> <CommandParameters> <CHCK> <ETX>
Response: <Status> <Data> <CHCK> <ETX>
You also have the option of replacing <CHCK><ETX> with #<CR>.
A new command can be sent only after a response to the previous command has been
received.

System Commands
Configure Interface CI
This command configures the timeout and the baud rate. The values are stored in the
nonvolatile memory. Any modifications become active only after a reset has been performed.
The timeout is the time after which the read/write head no longer waits for characters in a
command. After the timeout expires, the user receives an error message. To deactivate the
timeout, the time must be set to "0".
The number of data bits is always 8. A parity bit is not used.
The following settings are possible:
<Timeout>: "0" ... "100" (x 100 ms, timeout in 100 ms steps)
<Baud>: "1,200" , "2,400" , "4,800" , "9,600" , "19,200", "38,400"
The default values are a timeout of "0" and a baud rate of "38,400".
Reset RS
This command interrupts all currently running commands. The device settings are reloaded
from the non-volatile memory.
The command must be executed after a configure interface CI or define function DF, so that the
changes become active.
Configuration Commands
See chapter 6.6 and see chapter 6.5
Read/Write Commands
See chapter 6.4
6.7.2 Multi-drop mode
In this operating mode, the read/write head immediately sends a confirmation that the
command has been understood. The read/write head then starts to execute the command. The
actual result of the command must be queried by polling the write/read head. The get data GD
command is used for this.
In multi-drop mode, the command syntax differs from the syntax of the read/write heads with
the IDENTControl control interface through the addition of device address <DeviceNo> instead
of the channel number <ChanNo>.
Command: CI <Timeout>, <Baud> <CHCK> <ETX>
Response: <Status> <CHCK> <ETX>
Command: RS <CHCK> <ETX>
Response: "2" <CHCK> <ETX>
Note!

9.3 Detection Range
The read/write head has a typical detection range of around 1 meter; this range is determined
by the tag used and can be adjusted by selecting the transmission power. Other influencing
factors include the setup and installation of the specific application, interference from any
materials present (in particular metal), and the ambient conditions. The read and write
distances for the relevant tag, which are detailed separately, have been established in a test
laboratory under ideal conditions. For this reason, the combination of read/write head and tag
must be tested for the intended application under real conditions.
Please note the distance tables. The distance tables and additional information regarding your
