Operating Modes
The ID Controller has two modes: RUN mode and MAINTENANCE mode.
In RUN mode, operation is performed according to commands from the host device and results are
returned to the host device as responses.
In MAINTENANCE mode, communications test with Data Carriers are performed offline.
Communications with Data Carriers are repeated every 0.5 s. The COMM1/COMM2 indicator will flash
during communications with a Data Carrier. When processing has been completed, the results will be
displayed on the monitor display using end codes.
Both read tests and write tests can be performed in MAINTENANCE mode. In the read test, one byte
of data is read repeatedly. In the write test, one byte of data is written repeatedly. The contents of the
Data Carrier is not changed during a write test. Use these tests to check operation when installing a
system.
Do not change the Data Carrier when executing tests in MAINTENANCE mode.

Offline Tests in MAINTENANCE Mode
In MAINTENANCE mode, communications between the ID Controller and Data Carriers can be tested
without connecting to the host device.
Use offline testing to check installation positions before performing test operations.
Testing Host Device Communications
The TEST command can be used to test communications between the ID Controller and host device.
This enables checking cable connections and communications processing before testing the operation
of the entire system.
1. Create a simple communications program on the host device to send the TEST command (TS).
If communications function properly, the ID Controller will send back the received data.
Refer to TEST Command (TS) for more information on the TEST command.

Trigger Input (Lower Trigger Execution)
The ID Controller uses trigger inputs to inform the ID Controller when to start processing the Data
Carrier. After receiving a command from the host device, the ID Controller will wait until the rising edge
of the trigger input and then start communications with the Data Carrier. There are two trigger inputs.
TRG/IN1 is used to control read/write event 1 and TRG/IN2 is used to control read/write event 2.
For AUTO commands, the ID Controller will start waiting for a Data Carrier to approach after the trigger
input is received. Therefore, read/write processing will not be performed until the trigger input is
received even if a Data Carrier approached the ID Controller.
Note: Processing will not be performed while waiting for the trigger input even if a Data Carrier
approaches.

Write Protect Function
The write protect function prevents important data stored in the Data Carrier, such as the product type and
model, from being overwritten by other data and lost.
Use the following methods to set write protection after writing important data.
Data Carriers with Built-in Battery (V600-D@KR@@ and V600-D@KF@@)
■ Setting Write Protection Function
The write protect function is set in the four bytes of addresses 0002H through 0005H of the Data Carrier's
memory.
The status of the most significant bit of address 0002H determines whether or not the write protect func-
tion is enabled.
Section 4 Write Protect Function
• Write-protect Bit (most significant bit of address 0002H)
1: Data is write-protected
0: Data is not write-protected
• Write Protect Setting Area
Start address: 0006H to 1FFFH
End address: 0006H to 1FFFH
When using the write protect function, write the data in two operations, i.e., one for the write-protected area (addresses
0002H through 0005H) of the ID Tag, and one for outside the write-protected area (address 0006H or higher). When the
most significant bit of address 0002H is 1 and data is written that exceeds the write-protected area (addresses 0002H
through 0005H) of the ID Tag, a write protect error will occur.

■ Setting Write Protection Function
The write protect function is set by writing the final address to be protected in address 0000H of the Data
Carrier's memory. The area between address 0001H and the write-protect end address will be write-
protected.
The status of the most significant bit of address 0000H determines whether or not the write protect
function is in effect.
• Write-protect Bit (most significant bit of address 0000H)

0: Not write-protected (No)
• End Address Setting Range
00H, 01H to 7FH
Addresses 0080H to 00FFH cannot be set as the end address. If the end address is set to 00H, however,
all addresses from 0001H to 00FFH will be protected.
When using the write protect function, write the data in two operations, i.e., one for the write-protected area (address
0000H) of the ID Tag, and one for outside the write-protected area (address 0001H or higher). When the most signifi-
cant bit of address 0000H is 1 and data is written that exceeds the write-protected area (address 0000H) of the ID Tag,
a write protect error will occur.
■ Write-protect Setting Examples (254-byte Memory Data Carrier)
(1)The following settings would write-protect addresses
0001H through 0012H:
(2)The entire memory except address 0000H is write protected by
setting the end address to 00H, as shown below.

■ Checking If the Battery Is Low
● Data Carriers with Built-in Batteries (Excluding V600-D2KR16)
(1)A battery-low check for the Data Carrier can be performed only when special access is made
The battery-low check is performed by running a fixed current through the internal circuit of the Data Car-
rier. If the battery-low check is performed every time access is made, battery power will be consumed.
It is recommended that this be included as a routine check, once a day, when creating system programs.
(2) The access method for performing a battery-low check is performed when the two bytes of data from
addresses 0000H to 0001H is read.
Execute one of the following commands to perform a battery-low check.

● A battery low check will be performed for V600-D2KR16 Data Carriers with replaceable batteries when
read/write commands are executed, regardless of the addresses used.
■ Data Carrier Life after Low Battery Signal Occurs
● After a battery-low signal is sent, the Data Carrier can be used for approximately one month in the nor-
mal operating state. The Data Carrier should be replaced, however, as soon as possible.
The SRAM Data Carriers (except the V600-D2KR16) are equipped with a thionyl chloride lithium battery. A characteristic of the thionyl chloride lithium battery is that the internal resistance of the battery increases when the batter y is left unused for several months. If this occurs and a Data Carrier battery-low check is performed, a low battery response may be returned regardless of whether battery life still remains. This is a result of the
increased resistance within the battery, and is not due to the battery life expiring. If a Data Carrier has been left for several months after purchase
without being used, use the read operation for approximately 10 minutes to activate the battery before use. (Current will flow in the battery and
resistance in the battery will return to normal as a result of activating the battery. The life of the battery will hardly be affected.)
● When using V600-D2KR16 Data Carriers with replaceable batteries, the Data Carrier can be used for
approximately two weeks in the normal operating state after the low battery signal is sent. The battery
should be replaced, however, as soon as possible.
A lithium battery is built into SRAM Data Carriers with built-in batteries and may occasionally
cause serious injury due to combustion, explosion, or burning. Dispose of the Product as
industrial waste and never disassemble it, expose it to pressures that would distort it, heat it

Data Carriers without Batteries (V600-D23P@@)
MANAGEMENT DATA SUBTRACTION/LIMIT commands (MDS/MDL) can be used to determine whether
the overwrite count for the EEPROM Data Carrier has been exceeded. By executing the MANAGEMENT
DATA SUBTRACTION command (MDS), the number of overwrites is decremented from the data in the
specified overwrite count control area, and whether the data has exceeded the limit is determined.
By executing the MANAGEMENT DATA LIMIT command (MDL), the number of overwrites is written to
the data in the specified overwrite count control area, and whether the data has exceeded 100,000 writes
is determined.
The MANAGEMENT DATA LIMIT command (MDL) is designed for Data Carriers without Batteries that
have an expected life specification of 100,000 writes.
■ MDS Command
Section 4 Data Carrier Service Life Detection
The overwrite count control area consists of 3 bytes from the
start address. The decremented value of the overwrite count
is written in this area, and if this value is 0 (00H) an end code
of 76 will be returned as a warning. Therefore, to enable control of the number of overwrites, the maximum number of overwrites must be written to the overwrite count control area
beforehand. The user-specified number of overwrites can be
set to up to 16,700,000. The number of overwrites in the specifications for Data Carriers without batteries, however, is 300,000 overwrites (0493E0H) at 40C max., so be sure
to set the number of overwrites to 300,000 or lower.
The number of overwrites is controlled using hexadecimal values.
The current value can be read using the READ command.
If the control area data is already 0, the control area value will not be refreshed, and only a warning will be
returned as a response.
When the refresh count is set as 00H, the count will not be updated, and only an overwrite count check will be performed.

Data Carrier Memory Check Function
A memory check can be made using the MANAGEMENT DATA CHECK/CALCULATE commands (MDC/
MDK). A CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) code calculation, overwrite, and comparison are made, using the
check block unit specified by the user. The CRC code is calculated from the generated polynomial expression
16
x
+ x12 + x5 + 1.
The calculation area is the portion of the check block
specified by the start address and the number of bytes
excluding the last two bytes. The last two bytes are the
check code area.
When check code write is specified (transaction code:
K), the CRC of the calculation area data is calculated
and written to the check code area. When data
comparison is specified (transaction code: C), the
CRC of the calculation area data is calculated and a
comparison made with the check code area data. If
they coincide, end code 00 is returned, indicating
normal transmission, and if they do not coincide, end
code 76 is returned as a warning.

send is transferred to the ID Controller.
(2) When the ID Controller returns a response, the right to send is transferred back to the host device.
(3) The right to send is transferred on a carriage return.
(4) The SYSWAY protocol supports both 1:1 and 1:N communications.
(5) The 1:N communications are used when more than one ID Controller is connected to a single host
device. Up to 32 ID Controllers can be connected. Each command and response begins with a
controller number to identify the ID Controller. A horizontal parity check is performed as a frame check
sequence (FCS) to ensure robust error detection.
(6) The 1:1 communications are used when one ID Controller is connected to one host device. To simplify
procedures, a horizontal parity check is not performed.
(7) Even when using a 1:1 connection, 1:N communications can be set (i.e., N = 1). If 1:N communications
are set, always implement a horizontal parity check even if the connection is only 1:1.
■ Description
1. The host device send commands to the ID
Controller.
2. The ID Controller analyzes the commands from
the host device, executes communications with
the Data Carriers, and writes/reads data to/
from the Data Carriers.

3. When a read command is executed, the ID
Controller sends the data it has read in a
response to the host device. When a write
command is executed, the Controller send a
response indicating the end of processing to
the host device.

Command Reception Status
The ID Controller can have the following status for commands sent from the host device.
■ Command Wait Status
The ID Controller is in Command Wait Status when it is currently processing no command and is ready
to receive any command from the host device.
■ Command Processing Status
The ID Controller is in Command Processing Status from when it receives a read/write (including
expansion) or auto read/write command until it completes processing the command and returns a
response to the host device.
While the ID Controller is in this status, is will receive only a COMMAND PROCESSING TERMINATE
or ABORT command.
■ Polling Auto Subcommand Wait Status
The Polling Auto Subcommand Wait Status occurs at the following times after the ID Controller has
received a Polling Auto Command:
(1) From the time processing with the Data Carrier has been completed until the Controller returns the
result of the processing in a response to a Check Polling Processing Subcommand.
(2) Until processing by the ID Controller can be canceled by a End Polling Processing Subcommand
from the host device.
Section 5 Movement of Data Carriers and Command Status
When the ID Controller is in Polling Auto Subcommand Wait Status, it can receive only a Polling Sub-
command (Check or End) or an ABORT command.

Read/Write Functions
■ Read/Write Command Processing
The read/write function is used for communications when the Data Carrier is motionless.
Therefore, always be sure that the Data Carrier is at the specified position, i.e., in the communications
area of the Read/Write Head. If the Data Carrier is missing, the ID Controller will return a response
with an error code of 72 (Data Carrier missing).
1. The host device confirms that a Data Carrier is at
the specified position and then sends a command
to the ID Controller.
2. The ID Controller performs write or read
processing according to the command.
Section 5 Movement of Data Carriers and Command Status
Auto Read/Write Functions
■ Auto Command Processing
When the ID Controller has received an Auto Command, it does not send a response to the host
device until the Data Carrier approaches. The communications line between the Controller and the
host device will be busy until a Data Carrier approaches.
3. After the processing has been completed, the
ID Controller returns a response to the host
device to indicate that the processing has
ended. The host device, upon receiving the
response, moves the workpiece (with the Data
Carrier) on the line.
1. The host device sends an Auto Command to
the Read/Write Head.
2. The ID Controller does not respond to the host
device until the Data Carrier approaches, and
only at this time does the host device become
busy.

3. When a Data Carrier passes by the Read/Write
Head, data is read or written.
4. After processing has been completed, the ID
Controller returns a response to the host
device to indicating the end of processing.

Moving
• When using Auto Commands,
the approach of Data Carriers
is automatically detected.
• If the Data Carriers are moving
slowly enough and positioning
is dependable enough, then
there are few restrictions on
the communications distance.
Item Application method Description Precautions
Sending commands using
a timer
The next Auto Command is
sent after receiving a
response.
• This method is applicable when
Data Carriers pass through the
communications area of the
Read/Write Head at fixed intervals.
• It can also be used when a long
time elapses before next Data
Carrier arrives.
• Repeating the same communication with the same Data Carrier can be prevented if the
waiting time during which the
Data Carrier leaves the communications area elapses after the
end of the communication.
• Transportation speed
must be kept constant.
• This method is valid only
for systems where communications are not performed more than once
with same Data Carrier.
Trigger
The next Auto Command is
sent when a trigger is
received after a response is
returned.
• For example, an Auto Command is transmitted after end of
processing for the previous process has been confirmed.
• The trigger must be input before
the next Data Carrier
approaches.
• Trigger processing is
necessary.

Communications
Polling
This section describes command processing when two Read/Write Heads are connected to one ID
Controller. For normal Auto Commands, the ID Controller does not return a response until the Data
Carrier approaches the specified Read/Write Head. This means that the communications path with the
host device remains in the Busy Status, and the host device cannot send commands to the ID Control-
ler's other Read/Write Head.
However, Polling Auto Commands enable the ID Controller to return a response when requested by the
host device. Thus, the Busy Status of the communications path to the host device is cleared and the
host device can send commands to the ID Controller's other Read/Write Head.
1. A Polling Auto Command is sent to Head 1.
2. The ID Controller receives the command and
returns a response indicating that it has
received the command.
3. A Polling Auto Command is sent to Head 2.
4. The ID Controller receives the command and
returns a response indicating that it has
received the command.
5. The host device can check the status of
processing or end polling auto processing
using subcommands.
6. When a Data Carrier is not close to the
specified Read/Write Head, a “no Data Carrier”
response is returned in response to a check
subcommand.
7. When a Data Carrier passes by the Read/Write
Head, data is read or written.
8. Once processing has been completed, the ID
Controller sends a response to the host device
indicating that the processing indicated by the
check subcommand has been completed.

For Expansion Commands, any command longer than 271 characters or any response longer than 256
characters is divided into multiple frames for communications. Only the last frame is sent with a
terminator (*CR); all other frames are sent with a delimiter (CR).
1. Responses Longer than 256 Characters (EXPANSION READ Command)
When the ID Controller sends a response frame that is not the last frame, the host device returns a
delimiter (CR). When the ID Controller receives the delimiter, it sends the next response frame.
Section 5 Command Format
2. Commands Longer than 271 Characters (EXPANSION WRITE Command)
When the ID Controller receives a command frame that is not the last command frame, it returns a
delimiter (CR) to the host device. The ID Controller can then receive the next command frame.
3. For the EXPANDED READ Command, responses for any command reading more than 240 charac-
ters are divided into multiple frames as shown below. Only the last frame is sent with a terminator
(*CR); all other frames are sent with a delimiter (CR).
Response frames are sent with a 20 ms (default) interval between them.
The send interval can be changed with the SET PARAMETER (SP) command.

■ Frame Division
Divided the command into frames as shown below if the command is longer than 271 characters.
Frame Division
1. Divide the command so that each frame is 271 characters or less.
2. Attach a terminator (*CR) to the last frame (frame n). Attach a delimiter (CR) to all other frames.
3. The first frame (frame 1) must contain the command code, data code specification, Read/Write Head
and channel specifications, and the start address. If any of these are missing, a command input error
will occur. The write data does not have to be contained in the first frame.
4. Divide the command so that no frame contains “AA*CR” or “XZ*CR”.
