3. Configuration and setting

Please note: This manual is considered to be prelimiary.

In the standard configuration the device is set in “Trigger Mode“. This means the device waits
for a “Trigger On“ command to switch the RF-field on and a „Trigger Off“ command to switch
the RF-field off. These software commands can be sent to the device using RDemo software (to
be found on the CD which is part of the UDL5 package).

The UDL5 in its current version is EPC class1 gen2 complicant only.

3.1 Transmission protocol

The communication of the UDL5 is based on the “deBus” protocol. For integration into user­defined applications please contact your local sales and service center (see end of document).

5. EPC class1 gen2 memory organisation

This paragraph refers to the document “EPCglobal™, Specification for RFID Air Interface”,
Version 1.0.9.

The tag memory is divided into four memory banks. Each memory bank consists of several
blocks, each block has the size of 2 bytes. The banks RESERVED, EPC and TID must always
be available, the USER bank is optional.

• RESERVED: Non-Volatile-Memory, this memory contains a 32 bit Kill Password and a

32 bit Access Password.

• EPC (Electronic Product Code): This bank contains the CRC-16 (cyclic redundancy

check), PC (Protocol Control) and EPC. The PC bits contain information about the tag,
e.g. length of the EPC. The EPC begins at block address 66 (dec), MSB first. In case of
a 96 bit EPC it has the size of 6 blocks.

• TID (Transponder Identification): The TID memory contains data about the

manufacturer. Tags may contain specific data within the TID memory, beginning at
block address 130 (dec), e.g. a tag serial number.

• USER: allows user specific data storage. The memory organisation is user-defined.
