The following three types of ID Tags (“Tags”) can be used with the CF Reader/Writer.

Model Description

V670-D13F03 The V670-D13F03 ID Tag has a memory capacity of 128 bytes. It is a 40

40 mm square tag with water-resistant properties. It also uses a highly efficient, non-volatile ferroelectric memory, called FeRAM, as internal memory. FeRAM has a semipermanent life (i.e., it can be accessed 1 billion times).

chemical resistant because a PPS case and highly chemical-resistant epoxy resin is used on the exterior. It has the same memory capacity and performance as the V670-D13F03.

V670-D13F01H The V670-D13F01H ID Tag has the same performance and construction

as the V670-D13F01. It has holes for easy mounting.

Ferroelectric memory (FeRAM) is a type of non-volatile memory that can write data much faster than previous types of memory, such as EEPROM and flash ROM, and it has a semipermanent writing life. Furthermore, the previous types of memory could no longer hold data if nothing had been written to the memory for a certain period (approximately 10 years). FeRAM, on the other hand, is far better for data storage because it can hold data as long as data is read or written within a specific period of time.

Any area of specified addresses can be write protected (a maximum of two areas) by setting protection information in the Tag. A protection error will occur if a write is executed for any write-protected page. Part of the user data area ($0000 to $0003) is used for protection area information. To enable write protection, write the protection area information to a specified address and then use the Tag Function Setting command (TF) to specify “Protection Setting” in the process designation parameter. Similarly, to disable write protection, specify “Disable” in the process designation parameter.

Refer to Tag Function Designation (TF) when using the write protection function.

■ CF Reader/Writer Operation Status

• Command Standby Status

This is the status where the CF Reader/Writer is not processing any commands, but can accept any command except subcommands. When a command is received, the CF Reader/Writer enters the command processing status.

• Command Processing

Once a command has been received, the CF Reader/Writer ignores the next command until processing of the received command has been completed. Command processing abort and reset commands, however, can always be received.

SECTION 4 Commands

Data Type Designation

The data type to be used when transmitting read or write data between the CF Reader/Writer and the Handy Terminal can be specified in a command. Either ASCII or hexadecimal can be used.

■ ASCII (JIS8 Unit Code) Designation “A”

One byte of data in a Tag is transmitted directly as ASCII or JIS8 unit code. Each transmitted character is equivalent to 1 byte of data in the Tag. Character data can be directly read or written, but do not use the carriage return (CR) control code in send data. If the CR control code is used in write data, a command error will occur.

• Data Write Example

If “V670” is specified as the write data for 4 bytes of memory beginning with the address 10h, the data is written to the Tag memory as shown in the diagram.

■ Hexadecimal (JIS8 Unit Code) Designation “H”

One byte of Tag data is converted to two hexadecimal characters (00 to FF) and transmitted. Each transmitted character is equivalent to 2 bytes of data in the Tag. Always set write data in the 2-character units 00 to FF (i.e., as an even number of characters). A command error will occur if an odd number of characters is accidentally set.

• Data Write Example

If “56363730” is specified as the write data for 4 bytes of memory beginning with the address 10h, the data is written to the Tag memory as shown in the diagram.

Command Response Flow

The command received from the Handy Terminal by the CF Reader/Writer may be different to the response sent to the Handy Terminal from the CF Reader/Writer, depending on the type of command and the communications designation.

No Response

If the CF Reader/Writer receives a reset command, it sends no response, performs reset processing, and waits for the next command. The indicator will light green when the CF Reader/Writer receives a command. After sending a command, check the indicator to be sure that the CF Reader/Write has received the command.

SECTION 4 Commands

Appraisal Commands

If errors are frequent during communications with Tags, one of the causes may be ambient noise. The appraisal commands are used to investigate whether or not noise is the cause of errors. It can also be used to check noise generation at installation sites before installing V670-series Tags or Antennas and Controllers. Even if read results are normal, reception waveforms may exhibit interference. These commands can be used to check for noise at the waveform level to provide more detailed information on the actual status of the waveforms.

Diagnosis Function

When errors occur with the CF Reader/Writer, the type of error can be determined through the indicator, i.e., by whether the indicator lights red or flashes red.

Errors

The errors detected by the diagnostic function can be classified into two types of errors. One terminates operation (fatal errors) and the other does not terminate any operation (nonfatal errors).

■ Fatal Errors

When a CPU error has occurred in the CF Reader/Writer, CPU operation is terminated and the indicator lights red. The indicator will remain lit red until the power supply is turned OFF. Check the information in the following table and take appropriate corrective actions before restarting operation.

Indicator Status Description Error code

Lights red CPU error Turn OFF the power supply and then turn it back ON to return to initial status ---

If the above procedure does not correct the problem, the CF Reader/Writer may be faulty.

Diagnosis Function

■ Nonfatal Errors

When errors occur during communications between the CF Reader/Writer and the Handy Terminal or between the CF Reader/Writer and Tags, the indicator lights or flashes red. The indicator will turn OFF after lighting or flashing and the command will be recieved. Check the information in the following table and take approrriate corrective actions before restarting operation.

Read and write communications with Tags is performed in 4-byte units. This means that the communications time can be minimized by specifying the address and number of bytes so that the write start address is a multiple of 4. Example: If 4 bytes of data is to be written from address 0001h, change the address to 0000h. If the system configuration is such that the address cannot be changed like this, the times on the following table must be added to the communications time.

When write protection is used +2.9 ms

When the start address is not a multiple of 4 +2.9 ms

When the end address (start address + number of addresses) is not a multiple of 4 +2.9 ms

• TAT

The TAT is the time from the start of command transmission by the host device to the end of response reception by the Handy Terminal. TAT can be calculated from the communications time and the number of command/response characters. The formula is shown below.

SECTION 6

Specifications and Dimensions

TAT = Command transmission time + Communications time + Response transmission time

Bits per character

Transmission time =

Baud rate (bps)

* The transmission time depends on the number of bits per character and the communications condi-

tions (baud rate, data length, parity, and stop bits).

This formula applies when there is no interval between Handy Terminal command characters, i.e., when characters are continually transmitted. If the number of command characters is A, the number of response characters is B, the baud rate is 38,400 bps, the data length is 8 bits, the parity is even, and there is 1stop bit, the following formula can be used.

× (A + B)

TAT =

+ communications time

38400

The above formula finds the time when processing is started (command transmitted) with the Tag inside the communications area of the CF Reader/Writer. The time depends on the communications mode and the Tag status.

Maintenance and Inspection

To maintain the CF Reader/Writer in optimum condition, daily or periodic inspections are required. The CF Reader/Writer mainly consists of semiconductor components, which have a long life. The following malfunctions, however, may occur depending on the environment and operating conditions. (1) Deterioration of elements due to overvoltage or overcurrent (2) Deterioration of elements due to long-term stress caused by operation in locations with high ambient

temperatures (3) Deterioration of insulation or imperfect connector contact due to humidity or dust (4) Imperfect connector contact or corrosion of elements due to corrosive gas.
