SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Manual issue 04
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The hardware of a TagMaster system is described briefly below.
3.1
Readers
The S1500/S1503S1513 Communicator is a device for reading and writing ID Tags using 2.45
GHz microwaves. It is powered with 24 VDC but can be adopted for 12 VDC. The S1500 has
built-in antennas for communication with the Tags and various serial interfaces for
communication with a host computer. The Communicator also provides a movement detection
function that can detect moving objects in the reading zone (also non-Tagged objects). One
hundred frequency channels are available. The microprocessor is a 16-bit Hitachi H8/534. The
S1500 is equipped with Flash EEPROM for program code and database. Designed for different
installations, the S1500/S1503 comprises a wide range of I/O devices, including relays,
optocouplers, DTMF receiver, LED, buzzer and a control panel. It also has a real-time-clock,
2/4Wire RS485 interface and a connector for an optional board.
The S1501/S1504/S1514/S1566 is a less advanced Communicator and is powered by 12 VDC
only. It has no database memory, no real-time-clock, no optional card connector and the second
serial interface is only 2Wire RS485. Refer to the datasheets for details.
3.2
ID Tags
An ID-Tag is device carrying ID information that can be read at a long distance using
microwaves. Versions that can be read at a distance of up to 6 meters with the Communicator
S1503/S1504 are available. The actual reading range depends on the Communicator type. Also
different shaped versions of the tags are available. Some have the shape of a credit card but is
slightly thicker. Each Tag has its own unique 8-digit mark. It is possible to read many Tags
concurrently. To maintain the information, to get the long reading range and the high
communication speed, a lithium battery cell is used. The life of the cell is depends of the Tag
type but is typically 5 - 10 years and independent of how often the Tag is used. Certain types of
Tags (e.g. ScriptTag S1251) can also be written by the user. The Tags then have a static RAM
memory array that can be configured for different memory sizes; 14, 154 or 574 bits (32 bit
checksum not included in these figures). Refer to the Tag (e.g. S1251 or S1450) data sheet for
details.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
4.1
General
Manual issue 04
Microwaves have, during more than a decade, proven to be the most reliable technology for
identification systems. In particular, microwaves are unaffected by the normal electromagnetic
background noise found in industries and elsewhere. They also form a base for products that
have to withstand other rough environmental conditions as high temperatures, chemicals, shock
and vibrations
4.2
Electromagnetic immunity
The TagMaster system has been tested and approved, in operation, according to the IEC
standards. This guarantees trouble-free operation in demanding electromagnetic environments.
Electromagnetic interference on the microwave link
Industrial noise is typically present in the KHz and low MHz frequency band. The TagMaster
system is only receptive for frequencies closed to 2.45 GHz so typical industrial noise will not
affect the microwave communication. Transients from spot-welding equipment or from switching
on other welding equipment, soldering machines and fluorescent lamps may produce short
pulses around 2.45 GHz. However, since the TagMaster system, if interfered, will retransmit the
entire message very fast there is in most cases ample time for a re-transmission. If strong
microwave fields, from for instance microwave dryers, can be suspected, TagMaster AB should
be consulted.
Electromagnetic interference in cables
By selecting a suitable communications interface, using specified cables and proper shielding
and grounding, optimum communication reliability is ensured.
4.3
Temperature
4.3.1 Readers
In most applications, normal convection cooling is enough. In applications where heat is
generated close to the Communicator, forced cooling or heat shields may be necessary.
4.3.2 Tags
TagMaster tags are available for operation in various ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C
up to 85°C (refer to the data sheets). The specified reading range is valid for normal ambient
temperature conditions. If reading range is critical and the intended operating temperature
deviates from normal ambient temperature TagMaster AB should be consulted.

HW Installation Guide
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Manual issue 04
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
This chapter describes the procedure of installing the TagMaster units mechanically. It is
assumed that the location of Readers and Tags are specified, and the communication distances
and movement speeds are considered during the project-planning phase. Likewise it is assumed
that the project planning is well documented.
5.1
General
Microwaves penetrate wood, dirt, paint, plastic, and most other non metallic materials.
The TagMaster system employs circular polarisation and can therefore also often be used when
metal surfaces are in the vicinity of the antenna and Tag, especially if the Tag is moving. In such
cases however, adjustment of the Tag/Communicator position and distance may be necessary to
find the best position. Always combine this with tests to verify that the installation will work.
5.2
Readers
5.2.1 Mounting
• Position the Communicator with the cable entries pointing downwards and so that the device
is easily accessible for service.
• Mount the Communicator in an adjustable holder. (ComFix S1952 or PoleFix S1956 is
recommended) and direct it so that it’s lobe beam covers the position of the Tag(s).
• If Tags are to be mounted in car wind screens it is recommended to mount the Communicator
approximately 2 meters up and tilted down for best performance. Refer to the typical
installation illustrations in section 5.5.
5.2.2 Cables
To keep the sealing on a high level the Communicator should be mounted against a flat surface
like for instance a mounting plate. It should be fastened on the mounting plate using the
mounting holes located in the corners of the Communicator back panel. If the sealing level of IP
54 must be kept, then the cables must enter the Communicator using standard electrical feed
through bushings.
5.3
ID-Tags
The front side of the ID-Tags must be oriented towards the front side of the Communicator. The
backside of the tag has a type label on it. To get the maximum communication range the front
surface of the Tag should be in parallel with the front side of the Communicator. If the Tag is
miss-aligned relative to the front side of the Communicator, the communication range is reduced.
Refer to the actual product datasheets for details.
Due to TagMaster’s circular polarisation the rotational orientation of the Tag relative the
Communicator is uncritical. The Tags can be mounted on any flat surface. If it is to be expected
11
TagMaster AB
HW Installation Guide
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Manual issue 04
that the mounting surface material, when warmed up, can expand in a different way than the Tag,
the Tag must be mounted in such a way that the material expansion does not damage the Tag.
When screwing the Tags directly on to a surface, the screw must not be secured by pulling it until
it does not move anymore. Instead a threaded hole should be used and the screw should be
pulled until the Tag is just fixed. Then the screw should be secured using a washer and nut from
behind.
For the credit card shaped Tags S1251 and S1255, TagMaster AB offers holders for use in
vehicle windows or for personal carrying. (WinFix S1951 and Cardkeep S1953). For permanent
mounting of the Tag in a vehicle window the CardTape S1954 is recommended.

START-UP
8.1
General
START-UP
Manual issue 04
After having completed the physical installation as described in previous sections, a systematic
check of the installation and system performance should be carried out.
This work can be divided into two parts: inspection and performance verification.
When something does not work as expected the tips in paragraph TROUBLE SHOOTING may
be valuable.
8.2
Inspection
• Ensure that there are no metal objects between the Communicator and the Tag in the
position(s) where communication is to take place.
• Ensure that the Tags and Readers are aligned according to the project documentation.
Maximum communication distances and communication paths are achieved when Tag and
Readers are in parallel. Communication at maximum specified distance and misalignment
should be avoided.
• Ensure that the Readers are not placed in positions, where they are exposed to unnecessary
heat or electromagnetism.
8.3
Verifying communication
8.3.1 Serial host communication
Connect a PC to the prepared host connection and verify that the PC can communicate with the
Communicator. If the actual Communicator is a standard S1500/S1503 equipped with Pyramid
software this can be made by using the TagMaster demo software Saccess that runs under DOS,
Windows 3.1, 95/98/ME and NT/2000/XP. An alternative to Saccess is the TagMaster test
software ConfiTalk Commander which can be used for any Communicator where the resident
software was developed using ConfiLib and where ConfiTalk is enabled, for example the
S1501with Solid software. A final verification should be made using the actual host project
software.
8.3.2 Communicator - Tag communication
Put a Tag in front of the Communicator preferably having the Tag on the object where it normally
will be mounted. Perform repeated Tag readings when simultaneously moving the Tag along the
expected movement path and checking that the Tag can be read in all expected positions.
If the actual Communicator is a standard S1500/1503/S1513, the repeated readings can be made
by using the TagMaster demo software Saccess that runs under DOS, Windows 3.1, 95/98/ME
and NT/2000/XP and perform ”read-beep”. This puts the Communicator in a mode where it
makes repeated Tag readings and beeps the buzzer for each OK-read. The beep should be
”homogenous” for all expected positions along the movement path.
An alternative, which can be used in case the Communicator is a standard S1501/S1504S1514,
is to use the terminal interface ”Check-SW” and observe the read results on the screen. It must
be possible to read the Tag in all expected positions along the expected movement path. For
detailed information concerning how to use Check-SW please refer to the manual TagMaster
Programmer’s Guide.

HW Installation Guide
START-UP
Manual issue 04
Special care should be taken if metal is present close to the communication lobe between Tag
and Communicator. In such cases adjustment of the Tag/Communicator position and distance
may be necessary to find the best location of the both. Always combine this with repetitive Tag
read tests to verify that the installation works well.
If the Communicator is installed with a low grazing angle to a reflecting surface such as a road or
floor, the multipath effect can increase the reading distance. Since the multipath effect may as
well reduce the lobe width, a repetitive Tag read test is recommended to check the
communication in such installations. If Tags are passing at a close distance from the
Communicator it might be necessary to reduce the reading range to avoid unwanted readings of
remote Tags. The range is reduced by setting of the power and sensitivity parameters.
8.3.3 Digital I/O - communication with external devices
The method for checking the digital I/O depends on the software application.
If the customer makes the software application, then the I/O devices must be tested from the host
project software. If the Communicator is a standard S1500 with Pyramid software, digital I/O can
be checked directly from the Saccess demo-software. An alternative that can be used for both the
Communicator S1501 with Solid software and S1500/S1503 with Pyramid software is to use the
I/O commands in the terminal interface ”Check-SW” and observe the results. For detailed
information concerning how to use Check-SW please refer to the manual ‘TagMaster
Programmer’s Guide’.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Manual issue 04
TROUBLE SHOOTING
This section describes problems commonly encountered during system start up
9.1
An S1500/S1503/S1513 communicator seems not to read Tags
If the Pyramid software in S1500 is used in the operational mode (OP) = On then the Pyramid
software will try to fetch all Tag read results. Pyramid does this by making use of the ConfiLib
function Bsw_Event_Handler_Get_Event. If a PC resident software application also tries to fetch
read results using the ConfiLib function Bsw_Event_Handler_Get_Event then the PC software
will often not get any. Therefore, in order to make it possible for a PC resident software to fetch
read results from the communicator using the ConfiLib function Bsw_Event_Handler_Get_Event,
then the operational mode ( OP ) must be switched = Off.. This is done via the control panel or
via the Saccess PC-demo software.
9.2
Unsuitable interface converters
Connecting RS232/RS85 converters to the Communicator port A or B requires intelligent
converters i.e. converters that can switch between receive and transmit dependent of the
information flow direction.
9.3
Interference
If more than one Communicator are used in closed vicinity of each other, they must be set to
different RF channels. Neglecting to do this will reduce communication range.
9.4
Using wrong address
When one host in a polled network controls many Readers, different Communicator addresses
must be used. Neglecting this will cause serious communication problems in the network.
9.5
Forgetting the free-wheel diode across inductive loads
Inductive loads connected to the Communicator digital and relay outputs must be provided with a
free-wheel-diode to prevent malfunction or damage of the Communicator.
9.6
Using different data speed in the Tag(s) and in the
Communicator(s).
A Communicator operating at high data speed cannot communicate with Tags set to low data
speed and vice versa.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Manual issue 04
Using an unsuitable power supply
If an unsuitable power supply is used for powering the Readers the Communicator functions may
be unreliable. In worst case the Communicator does not work at all. The power supply used for a
TagMaster Communicator must deliver a DC power according to following specifications:
Power supply type
24VDC
12VDC
Voltage limits
20 - 28 Volt
10 - 14 Volt
min DC-current
200 mA
550 mA
The voltage from the power supply must stay within the specified limits all the time.
This also includes a possible ripple-voltage from the power supply.
