1 System Description
The HERMOS transponder reader system is used in the semiconductor industry for
the identification of the wafer-carrier. It is a high frequency identification system
using the FM-transmission.
The basic item is a transponder working as a forgery-proof electronic identity disc.
The reader of the system sends an energy impulse via the antenna. The capacitor
of the passive, battery-less transponder is charged by this impulse. After that, the
transponder returns a signal with the stored data.
The total reading cycle takes less than 100 ms.
As a sight-connection between transponder and reader is not absolutely necessary,
the transponder can also be identified through non-metallic material.
The HERMOS transponder reading unit is a LON-node. LON is a control network
for distributed systems and has been developed by the US company Echelon. The
LONWORKS-technology corresponds to the SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment
Materials International)-Standard (E54.6).
The data received by the transponder reader are transmitted to equipment,
terminalserver or host systems by the LON-network.

2 Important Notes:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
1) this device may not cause harmful interference , and
2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip-ment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equip-ment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Control-LED
The two-coloured control-LED (red/green) shows the actual operation status of the
device.
Red: The control-LED glows shortly red, if the SERVICE-button had been pushed.
If the LED blinks red or glows red continuously, the device is unconfigured or
applicationless. In this case, please contact the manufacturer.
Green: The control-LED glows shortly green, if the device tries to read or write.
SERVICE-button
The SERVICE-button can be used to install the reader into the network.
Terminal screw for antenna shielding
The shield of the antenna has to be sticked on the terminal screw.
Control-module
The control-module is the control unit of the device. On the module, there is the
controller (Neuron-chip), a plug-in program memory (FlashEEPROM) and the
FTT10-A transceiver for the communication on the LON-bus.
HF-module
The HF-module is the analog part of the device. It triggers the antenna and
transmits the received data to the control-module.

For the actor signal a LED without a shunt (connection to PIN 4 and 5) is required.
For the sensor a potential free contact (connection to PIN 2 and 3) or a 24V-
sensor (3 wire version with npn-output, connection to PIN 1 to 3) is required.
Important:
Up to serial-no: TLG-00-1999
For devices which have been delivered before the end of November 1998,
please pay attention to the following when selecting the 24V-sensor:
In open wiring condition, maximally +5V may be applied to the npn-output!

Remark to the power supply:
During the starting process (charging of the capacitor in the input filter of the
device), you have to ensure that the power supply does not cut off the output
current. We recommend to use a power supply with stable current characteristic
up to 0V output voltage (for example our part-no. SVG2,5).
4.2 Additional Instruction for Use
Never expose the device to a intense change in temperature. Otherwise, water of
condensation can develop inside the device what can lead to damages.
Never bend or extend the antenna cable or expose it to other mechanical loads.

5 Installation Description of the LON-Network
The installation can be carried out with the cables and distributors pre-manufactured by HERMOS (see 6. Accessories). Your own cabling is also possible
when the following points are noticed.
5.1 Transmission Medium
The bus cable is realized through an economy-priced twisted pair cable. With
carried along operation voltage with 4 cores.
For shielded cables, the shield has to be connected on both sides.
Realization with optical fibre, radio and infrared is also possible.
5.2 Network Topology
There are two possiblities of network topology:
-Free topology
-Bus-topology
The free topology allows a constellation in line-, star, ring- or tree-structure.
So it is able to correspond to the geometrical demands.
A mixed architecture is also possible.
Only one connector is required.
On account of the mode of transmission, it cannot be connected the wrong way
round.
