Chapter 1 Features and System Configuration

1-1 Features

The V670 Series is the electromagnetic coupling type RF-ID system which has achieved fast, long-life and high-performance communi­cation. This ID syste m is the most suitable for process control of high-speed line and traffic control of moving object in a plant and an
application that information must be updated frequently in a process.

Model V670-CD1D

Model V670-D13F03

• Model V670-CD1D (ID controller, referred to as "Controller")

Model V670-CD1D connects to a pe rsonal computer (referred to as " PC") and/or programmable con troller (PLC) and controls the
RF-ID system.
Model V670-CD1D has a ge neral-purpose I /O terminal and a f unction to judg e and process inde pendently (Self-E xecution mode)
and, therefore, a very fast system can b e configured for simple process only without any host device.

• Model V670-H11 (Antenna)

Model V670-H11 is a waterpro of antenna (stand ard antenna) with di mensions of 4 x 5.3 cm. Mo del V670-H11 can achieve the
communication area of 20 mm in combination with model V670-D13F03.
Model V670-H11 has a very fast comm unication performance and can transfer 12 bytes of data in appr oximately 5 ms.

• Type V670-D13F03 (ID tag, referred to as "Tag")

Type V670-D13F03 is a waterproof tag which has 1 28 bytes of memory capaci ty with dimensions of 40 x 40 mm. Model V670­D13F03 uses high-performance nonvolatile memory called Ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM) as internal memory. So, memory life is
semi-permanent. (The memory can be accessed one billion times.)

Model V670-H11

• Easy to use

By connecting the programming console model C200H-PRO27 (unbundled, referred to as "ProCon") to the Controller via the special
cable model V700-P10 (unbundled), the system operation status and error log information can be read. This is useful for system star­tup and maintenance at a working site.

Ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM)

Ferroelectric RAM is one of nonv ol ati le RAMs and d ata can be writte n into a nd read from it fa ster than con ve nt ion al mem ory (such
as EEPROM and flash ROM). Data can be written into the ferroelectric RAM semi-permanently.
While any conventional RAM cann ot hold data if no thi ng is written in to it fo r a sp ecified perio d (app rox im a tely 1 0 ye ars), th e ferro­electric RAM can hold data if anyt hing is writ ten into or read from it. So , the ch aracteristic of fe rroele ctric RAM is very ex cellent in
data-holding performance.

1-1

1-2 System Configuration

• Example of Model V670-CD1D system configuration

Model V670-CD1D contains a serial interface based on RS-232C and can connect easily to a general-purpose PC and programmable
controller (PLC). Model V670-CD1D has a comman d execution mo de and self-ex ecution mode as an operation mo de and control s
the communication to a tag according to the in stru ctions from a host device (in the command execution mod e) or t he registered con­ditions (in the self-execution mode).

2-5 Communication Range Specifications

In the communication with a tag, any data is read and written at every 4 bytes. Therefore, to minimize the communication time, specify
the address and the number of bytes suitably so that the address for writing can be a multiple of 4.
Example: If 4 bytes of data is written from the address 0001h, change the addr ess to 0000h.
If you cannot change as stated above due to the structure of change syst em, add the following time to the commu nication time.

When a protect function is used +2.9 ms
When a start address is not a multipl e of 4 +2.9 ms
When an end address (start address + the number of addresses) is not a multiple of 4 +2.9 ms

♦ TAT

Time from the start of command transmission by a host device to the end of receiving of response to the host device. It can be calculated
from the communication time and the number of characters of command/response. The formula is as follows:

TAT = command transfer time + communication time + response transmission time

Transmission time = x number of characters (second)

* The number of bits per character and baud rate vary depending on the communication conditions (baud rate, data length, parity and
stop bit).

Assuming that the number of cha r acters of command is A, the number of characters of response is B, the baud rate is 90 00 bps, data
length is 7 bits, parity is even and stop bit is 2 bits, the following formula can be obtained:

11 x (A + B)

TAT =

9600

Bits per character (bit)

Baud rate (bps)

+ communication time (second)

Correct Usage

The formula above calculates the time when processing (transmission of command) starts if the ID tag is within an area
of communication with an antenna. The time varies depending on a communication mode and ID tag status.

Node number

To connect several controllers to one host device using a link adapter etc., the host device needs to identify each of those controllers.
The number to identify them is referred to as node number. A unique node number must be assigned to every controller.

The command and response of 1:N protocol have the node number. So, unless the node number is assi gned appropriately, any commu­nication cannot be made.

Chapter 4 Functions

4-1 Communication Designation Function

Depending on an operation sequence, you can specify vario us communications through the communication command for communica­tion with a tag. The following seven communicatio n de sig natio ns are avai labl e.

Code Name Description

ST Single command Trig ger When the command is received, the c om mu nic at ion w ith the ta g is e xe cut ed and

the response is returned.

SA Single Auto command After the command is received, the communication is executed when a tag has

been detected in a communication area and the response is returned.

SI Single Input trigger After the command is receive d, the comm unication w ith the tag is executed at the

leading edge timing of external input (TRG) and the response is returned.

RA Repeat Auto command "SA" designation is repeated. The communication with the same tag, which

exists continuously, is executed only one time.

RI Repeat Input trigger "SI" designation is repeated.

PA Poling Auto command "SA" designation is executed and the response is returned by the polling query

(PC) command.

PI Poling Input trigger "SI" designation is executed and the response is returned by the polling query

(PC) command.

Those seven communication designations are classified into three groups; a command trigger system which starts the communication by
sending a command, auto s yst em which detects a tag automatically and executes the communi cation, and input trigger syst em which
start the communication by external input.
According to this classification, the operation of every communication designation is described below.

4-1-1 Designation of Command Trigger System Communication (ST)

In the command trigger system communication designation, the communication with a tag is executed by sending a command and the
controller command processing is ended by terminating th e communication. If the tag is not in the communication area when the com­mand is sent, an error (error code: 72) is returned to indicate that there is no tag in the communication area. Therefore, you must check
the tag in the communication area with a sensor etc. and return a command.

The communication with tag in the
communication area is executed when
a command from a host is received.
So, if the tag is not in the communica­tion area, the response is returned to
indicate that there is no tag in the com­munication area.

* Responds whether there is a tag or not.

4-1 Communication Designation Function

4-1-2 Designation of Automatic System Communication (SA/RA/PA)

In the auto system communication designation, a tag is detected automatically. So, unlike the command trigger system, you do not need to check the tag.

When the tag enters the communica­tion area, the communication starts.

RA designation:

For the repeat designation (RA), the system waits until the next tag has come even after the communication is terminated. If the tag
once executes the communi cation, the tag does not execute the communication un til it has moved out of the communication area.
Repeat processing is ended by a command process abort command (AA).

4-1 Communication Designation Function

4-1-3 Designation of External Trigger System Communication (SI/RI/PI)

In the external trigger system communication designation, the communication is started at a leading edge of an external input signal.
The communication is directly controlled by output of a sensor which detects a tag in the communication area. So, the communication
can be executed even in a fast line without fail.

To the external input of ID controller

The system waits for a leading edg e o f an
input signal when a command has been
issued by a host. (An sensor is one of
examples.) The communication is exe-

4-2 Tag Designation Function

When reading data or writing fixed data, you can use "Repeat Auto" designation or "Repeat Trigger" designation. However, if you write
different data per tag or if you use several commands (e.g., read → judge → write), you cannot us e this function.
To enable this process, you can use the Tag Designation function. By using this function, regard less of timing, you can only send the
commands consecutively to communication with an objective tag without fail. Moreover, a sensor for tag detection is not required. So,
the system configuration can be simplified.

Code Description

“sa” When a tag enters the communication area, the communication to the tag is executed. The communication is

made to any tag other than the tag to which the communication has been executed immediately before. If the
same tag exists continuously, the system waits until any other tag enters the communication area.

“st”

<Example of process sequence>
When you execute a command 1 and command 2 to the tags (A, B, ...) moving continuously, you can use the following sequence.

When a command has bee n re ce ive d, th e co mm u nic atio n is executed to the tag in the commu nic atio n ar e a. Th e com m u ni­cation is made to any tag other than the tag to which the communication has been executed immediately before. Even if
any different tag is in the communication area, an error occurs to indicate that there is no tag in the communication area.

4-3 Operation Mode

There are two operation modes, i.e., Command Execution mode and Self-Execution mode. Through the dip switch 3-2, you can specify
one mode of them to be started at the power ON. Also, you can change the mode by a mode change command (MO) from a host device.

Power ON

Command Execution

Mode change command (MO)

Self-Execution mode

(1)Command Execution mode

The communication is exe cuted by an in struction (command) from a host dev ice. In this mode, you can use all the command. All,
you can read/control the ext ernal I/O terminals (IN, OUT1 and OUT2) by a command from a host device.

(2)Self-Execution mode

The communication to a tag is executed automatically according to the o perating conditions registered in the controller, the commu­nication result can be judged (jud g men t c on dit ions ), a nd th e self-co m ple tio n op eration, to which is output to the two exte rna l outputs
(OUT1 and OUT2) or to the RS-232C port (result output), can be performed. The ID system does not need to be controlled from a
host device. So, a simplified system can be built up very quickly. The following operating conditions can be registered.

Item Description
Execution process A communication command only can be used. An available communication mode is RA or RI

only.

Judgment condi­tions

One of the conditions below can be specified per output.

1) Judges the communication result and generates output.

2) Compares response data and set data with each other and generates output.

Result output When a preset judgment condition has been met, the three outputs below can be specified. The

judgment condition can be specified per output.

1) Outputs to OUT1. Output time can be specified.

2) Outputs to OUT2. Output time can be specified.

3) Responds to RS-232C.

The preset operating conditions are stored in nonvolatile memory in the controller. So, you do not need to set them at every power on.

4-4 Operation Parameter Setting

In the controller, you can specify the operation parameters (Communication Restriction Time, Character Interval Monitoring Time and
Response Ready Time) according to your system to optimize the performance and reliability.
Usually , you may use the d efault valu es. Howeve r , th is setting a llows you to op timize your system. Those param eters are store d in non­volatile memory in the controller. So, the parameters are not erased even if the power supply turns off.

4-4-1 Communication Restriction Time

In the communication to a tag, if a response cannot be made correctly due to any trouble at the communication after tag detection,
"Retry" is executed to sen d t he same command again.
By specifying the communication restric tion tim e , retry is rep eat ed un til th e specifie d time has pa ssed af ter the comma nd pro ce ss starts.

4-4-3 Response Ready Time

When several controllers are conne cted to a host device through RS-485 etc. (commercial 232C/485 converter is requir ed), RS-485
switches into receiving after data string is sent. Switching time varies depending on a converter. So, if a response from the controller is
fast, the communication cannot be executed correctly.
By specifying the Response Ready time, the response start time can be changed.
*Actual time from the transmission of command to the start of response is internal process time (a minimum time is 0 ms) of the con-

troller + Response Ready time (specified time).

4-5 Memory Check Function

Add

By adding a check code to a data in a ta g, you can detect a data error arisen from memo ry rewrite life or unintentional factor. A CRC
code of generating polynomial X

16

+ X12 + X5 + 1 is used as the check code.

For memory check, a memory check command (MC) to write a check code and a memory calculation command (MK) to verify the
check code are used.
In a check block specified by th e first address and the number of

ress

bytes, an area excluding the last 2 bytes of the block is a target area
to be calculated and the l ast 2 bytes are a check code area.

When a command to write the check code is sent, the CRC code of
data in the target area for calculation is calculated and it is written
into the check code area. When a data ve rification command is

First address in this
area →

sent, the CRC code of data in the target area for calculation is cal­culated and it is compar ed with data of the check code area. If
those data match, "0" is returned. This shows that the data is cor­rect in a response status flag. If those data do not mat ch, "1" is
returned as warning.

4-6 Write Protect Function

The Write Protect Function prevents a fixed data, such as pallet information or product information stored in memory in a tag, being
erased by careless writing.

By setting protect information in the tag, Write Protect can be enabled in any area (a maximum of two areas) of a specified address. If
you try to write anything into a write-protected page, a Protect error occurs.
The protect are a information is set by using a part (address $0000 to 0003) of u s er data area.
To enable the Write Protect, write th e pr otect area information into a speci fied address and specify "Protect Setting" with process desig­nation parameter using a tag fun ction set tin g com mand (TF). Similarly, to d isable th e Write Protect, specify "Disable" with the process
designation param eter.

Chapter 6 How to Use Self-Execution Mode

6-1 Available Conditions

In the Self-Execution mode, by executing automatically the operating conditions (communication command, judgment condition, out­put condition, etc.) registered in the controller, the communication and peripheral devices can be controlled without control from a host
device.

In the Self-Execution mode, the following conditions can be specified.

Item Condition Remarks

List".

RA, RI. Continuous operation is required in the Self-Execution mode.

So, a repeat system command only can be specified.
In the signal output, output time can be specified.

Data output: RS-232C.
Two judgm ents per output. One judgment also can be spec ifi ed.

• Judgment in communication
result

• Comparison of data of
response

(matched, unmatched, large or
small).

Data output is a response of execution command.

For data comparison, an area to be compared can be speci­fied. (1 to 4 bytes)

* For a format and any other details, refer to "5-8-5 Operation Condition Setting (SE)".

6-1

6-2 Setting Procedure

Procedure to use the Self-Execution mode is described below.

(1) Connect a host interface, power supply and antenna (Model V670-H11).
(2) Turn on the power supply.
(3) Check a host communication with a test command.
(4) Register an operating condition with the SE (Operation Condition Setting) command.
(5) Enter the Self-Execution m ode through the dip swit c h (turn ON SW 3-2) or with the MO (Operation Mode Change) command.

If you enters the Self-Execution mode through the dip switch, turn OFF the power supply once, turn on the power supply again and
check the operation.

-- Then, the antenna starts communicating. --

(6) Check an operation by using an applicable tag to check the operating con dition.

Here, you can use the Self-Execution mode.
If you want to cancel the Self-Execution mode due to any reason, use the MO (Operation Mode Change) command.

6-2

6-3 Example of Setting

An example of setting to execute the following items is described.
Communication process : Reads 16 bytes from the address 10h in a hexadecimal number in an automatic operation.
Judgment, OUT1 output : 4 Bytes of data from the address 18 is "00000001" and turning ON for 0.5 seconds.
Judgment, OUT2 output : ON at an error. (Time is not monitored.)
