The reader architecture is intended to address the requirements of operation in different world regions with different frequencies, data rates and compliance specifications. However, different Versions of modules with modified design, and/or component stuffing, may be required to address the various regulatory requirements. In order to keep track of these versions, the following designation are used: Figure 1-1 MR400 RFID Reader Module 1-2 MR400 RFID Reader Module, Integration Guide Theory of Operation The MR400 is a UHF (860MHz - 928MHz) RFID reader module. The MR400 RFID Reader Module is used to read and write UHF passive RFID tags complying to EPCglobal Gen2 standard. Communication between a reader and a tag occurs in a half-duplex reader-talks-first manner. Commands from the reader is sent to the tags on the forward link modulated on the transmit carrier followed by a CW transmission. The tags are powered by the energy by the reader EM field, this wakes up the tags and they are now ready to receive reader commands. After decoding the command data, the tags response by back scattering with encoded data, modulated on the CW transmission. The MR400 is designed as an embedded module and will be used as an integral part of a RFID system. Typical system included but not limited to the followings: • Forklift systems • Handheld or portable devices • Tag Decode and Encode Printers • Remote Read Points Block Diagram the MR400 consists of a single port transceiver with option for dual diversity antennas, a controller and a baseband processor with interfaces to external antenna(s) and a host system. Depending on a specific application, the host could be a single board or a computer system. MR400 +5Vdc Antenna(s) Host Serial Controller Baseband Processor Transceiver GPIO Figure 1-2 MR400 RFID Reader Module Block Diagram Controller The main functions of the Controller are to communicate with the host, issue protocol commands to the Baseband Processor to address a population of RFID tags for read and write. In turn, the Baseband Processor configures the Transceiver frequency and power during the interrogation process. The MR400 is designed to access tags upon command received from host. To conserve power for battery operated applications, the Controller also perform power management of the entire reader. Introduction 1-3 Baseband Processor The Baseband Processor responsible for sending out appropriate commands in accordance to a selected tag protocol to interrogating or accessing tags. Upon receiving the base band data from the Transceiver, the Baseband Processor applies the appropriate algorithm to detect and extract the tag responses from the incoming data stream. The data then will be buffered and sent to Controller for uploading to the Host. Transceiver The transceiver receives protocol command data from the Controller via Baseband Processor. Data from the Baseband Processor will be modulated, up converted and sent to the antenna to power and accessing tags that are resided within the field of the reader's antenna. Tags that receive reader's commands will respond back with their data in the form of back scattering. Receiving through the reader's antenna, the Transceiver down converts the tags responses to base band and passes the data to Baseband Processor for bit processing in accordance to a Gen2 tag protocol. External Hardware Interfaces The MR400 hardware interface include the input voltage, antenna interface and the host interface. Input Voltage The input voltage requirement is; regulated +5Vdc +/- 5% @1.5A peak. Antenna Interface Two bi-directional antenna ports, J3 and J4, user selects transceiver port via host command.

Request and Response Packets The byte stream packet follows generalized packet format for request and response packet. This section describes the packet format which most request and response examples in this document will use. In practical implementation, most of the times, these packets are arrays of bytes where elements are arranged as per specified format. A general request packet that is being sent to MR400 over host interface must be formatted as follows: Table 3-1 Byte Stream Packet Descriptions Field Number of Bytes (Size) Value Description SOF 0x01 Start Of Frame Node Address 0~0x1F i.e. 0 to 31. Node address that had been set on the reader Packet Length See Description Size of the packet that is being sent. This should not include the size of SOF but should include the size of CRC. Command See Description Each Reader API Command corresponds to a number. This number tells the reader which command to fire. Populate this byte with the value of the command which you want the reader to fire. Data Variable See Description Depending upon the command you are executing you may need to send different number of bytes formatted differently. See the definition of the command you want to execute for more details. A Typical Request data packet can be 0 to 64 bytes. CRC 2 (1 for LSB & 1 for MSB) Dependent Bitwise inversion of the 16-bit CCITT-CRC of the packet excluding SOF, with the LSB (Least Significant Byte) first. 3-2 MR400 RFID Reader Module, Integration Guide For every request sent to the reader there may be one / more response packets that the reader sends back to the host. A Typical Response Packet has been described in the following table: Table 3-2 Field Number of Bytes (Size) Value Description SOF 0x01 Described in Request Packet description. Node Address 0~0x1F Described in Request Packet description. Packet Length See Description Described in Request Packet description. Command Mirror See Description Mirror of the original command in the response packet. Status See Description The result or status of a command execution. See Status Field Description section for more details. Data Variable See Description In a typical response packet the size of data field may vary from 0 - to 250 bytes. The first byte of response data usually contains the error code if error bit of status field has been set. For more information on error bit see Status Field Description section. For more information on error codes see Error Codes Described section. CRC 2 (1 for LSB & 1 for MSB) Dependent Bitwise inversion of the 16-bit CCITT-CRC of the packet excluding SOF, with the LSB (Least Significant Byte) first.
