INTRODUCTION

To Users of Model V700-L21

The V700-L22 is the CIDRW controller complying with the 2003 edition of the SEMI E99 standard. A V700L21 cannot simply be replaced with a V700-L22. If you wish to replace a V700-L21, bring the CIDRW controller control program into line with the new stipulations as described in this manual.

■ Main Points of Difference with the V700-L21

• Addition of support attributes

The CIDRW attributes defined as CarrierIDOffset and CarrierIDlength in the 2003 edition of the SEMI E99 standard have been added. With the V700-L22, the user can now specify as attributes the position of the MID in the ID tag, and the data length.

Refer to Support Attributes 130.

• Changes in message specifications

The 2003 edition of SEMI E99 adds a format definition for the message specification data item MID. The specifications of the data item MID have changed in the V700-L22.

Refer to Message Specifications 66.

• Addition of a data area access function

The V700-L22 has added a function for specifying ID tag data area access destinations as offset addresses. The V700-L21 divides the data area into 8-byte units called segments, and reads and writes data to each segment. Besides this, the V700-L22 also allows you to specify offset addresses referenced to the first address in the ID tag data area, so that data can be read and written in units of one byte.

Refer to Message Specifications 66.

• Replacing a V700-L21 with a V700-L22

The following settings are required to replace a V700-L21 with a V700-L22. (1) Set the attributes CarrierIDOffset and CarrierIDlength.

Set CarrierIDOffset to 0 and for CarrierIDlength set the data length of the data item MID specified by the ID write request (S18F11). If there is a mismatch between the CarrierIDlength attribute and the MID length in the ID write request (S18F11), a CE (communications error) occurs, and no data is written.

(2) Change the MID to data comprising displayable ASCII characters only.

With the V700-L22, data that includes undisplayable ASCII characters cannot be read with an ID read request (S18F9); an EE - execution error - occurs. Data including undisplayable ASCII characters in the MID cannot be specified with an ID write request (S18F11).

With the V700-L21, the MID to be read or written is consigned to an area fixed at 16 bytes. If the specified data length in the ID write request (S18F11) is less than 16 bytes, NULs are added in internal processing to make the total up to 16 bytes. In contrast, with the V700-L22, the accessible MID data occupies only the area specified by the attributes CarrierIDOffset and CarrierIDlength. Remember that data can only be read or written in the area specified by the attributes.

What is a CIDRW System?

The CIDRW system writes data to, and reads data from, the carrier IDs (ID Tags) mounted on the carriers (FOUP) in semiconductor manufacturing processes without contacting these ID Tags. CIDRW is the abbreviation of Carrier ID Reader/Writer and this abbreviation is used throughout this manual. Reading and writing information such as models, process instructions, lots, and inspection results to and from ID Tags makes it possible to manage work instruction information from a host device.

SECTION 2 Installation and Connections/Wiring

CIDRW Head

The communications area varies substantially with the installation orientation, background conditions (such as metals and noise), and the type of ID Tag being used. Check the communications area before finalizing the installation location. Refer to the communications area diagrams in Characteristic Data depending on Conditions of Use.

Refer to page 105.

■ Positional Relationship between the CIDRW Head and the ID Tag

The communications area differs according to the positional relationship during communications.

■ Data Reading and Writing

The communications distances for reading and writing are not the same; the distance is shorter for writing. Therefore, when data is to be both read and written, take the distance for writing as the reference distance when installing the CIDRW Head and the ID Tag.

orientation

Communications area (purely illustrative) Explanation

Coaxial The maximum communications area is

obtained when the center lines of the CIDRW Head and the ID Tag coincide.

Parallel The maximum communications area is

obtained when the center point of the antenna on the CIDRW Controller is aligned with the center line of the ID Tag.

Vertical When the center point of the antenna on the

CIDRW Head is aligned with the center line of the ID Tag, the communications area is substantially reduced.

■ Influence of Background Metal on ID Tag

Metals in the vicinity of the communications area will affect the range, making it smaller.

Refer to page 111.

■ Influence of Noise

This CIDRW system uses a frequency of 134 kHz for communications with ID Tags. Equipment such as switching power supplies, inverters, servomotors, or monitors in the surrounding area will adversely affect communications, restricting the communications area.

The noise levels in the vicinity of the CIDRW Head can be determined with the environmental noise measurement command (applies only when SECS is not used) . Refer to page 86.

For details on the relationship between noise and communications distance, see Appendix . Refer to page 124.

The system starts up in the Setting mode, and the indicators react as shown below.

■ Sending a Switching Command from the Host Device

This method is convenient when the unit has already been mounted and the switch on the bottom cannot be repositioned to 3. During operation in the Normal Operation mode, a command is sent from the host device to switch to the Setting mode.

1. Send a subsystem command (S18F13 ChangeState CPVAL1 = "PS") from the host device.

Refer to page page 73.

CPVAL1="PS" is an expansion designation unique to V700-L22 and does not conform to SEMI standards.

The system is automatically restarted and the mode switches to the Setting mode. The operation indicators react as shown below.

Start the terminal software

Use the host device's terminal software for the setting.

The commands and communications conditions in the setting mode are unique to OMRON. They do not conform to the SEMI standards. For the terminal software, use Hyper Terminal, which is standard with Windows, or a similar program.

The communications conditions for communication between the host device and CIDRW Controller are fixed. Make the following settings using the terminal software.

Change the Carrier ID

To read the carrier ID, the CID has to be specified within the area where the carrier ID can be set (CarrierIDField) within the ID tag's memory. This section explains the procedure for setting the carrier ID offset (attribute name: CarrierIDOffset) and the carrier ID size (bytes) (attribute name: CarrierIDLength) in the memory map of the ID tag. The commands, and the parameters that can be set, are indicated below.

• Settings that exceed the carrier ID area (*) cannot be made. If such a setting is made, an error occurs. *: (CIDOF+CIDLN) ≤ T_CIDLEN

• The Carrier ID offset and carrier ID size (bytes) can only be changed in the L22 mode. They cannot be changed in the L21 mode. When you change from the L22 mode to the L21 mode, the carrier ID offset and carrier ID size (bytes) are returned to their initial settings.

ID Tag ↔ CIDRW System Communications Test

Send a command from the host device and check that normal communication with the ID Tag is possible.

■ When SECS is Used

• Read ID

The host device sends a Read ID Request message to the CIDRW Controller for Head 1. The CIDRW Head 1 reads the ID, and the CIDRW Controller returns the ID to the host device.

• Read Data

The host device sends a Read Data Request message to the CIDRW Controller for Head 1, DataSeg S01 and Datalength 8. The CIDRW Head 1 reads the data, and the CIDRW Controller returns the data to the host device.

• Write ID

(1) The CIDRW Controller is in IDLE. The host device requests the CIDRW Controller change its oper-

ational status to MAINTENANCE.

(2) The CIDRW Controller changes to MAINTENANCE and replies that it has changed state. (3) The host device sends a Write ID Request message to the CIDRW Controller for Head 1. The

CIDRW Head 1 writes ID, and the CIDRW Controller returns the ID to the host devices.

• Write Data

The host device sends a Write Data Request message to the CIDRW Controller for Head 1 and DataSeg S02. The CIDRW Head 1 writes the data, and the CIDRW Controller returns the results to the host device.

*1: "PS" is an expansion command for this unit. *2: When the TARGET ID is "00" (CIDRW), this is a zero length item. *3: "EE," "HE," and "TE" are used only with S18F6, S18F8, S18F10, and S18F12.

S9F7 responses An S9F7 response is given when a message in an illegal format is received from the host device. "Illegal format" here means that there is a problem with the message composition, such as illegal attributes, or insufficient or too many items. If other problems relating to the item contents arise, the response is SSACK = "CE" (communications error).

Communications with the Host Device Communicate with the host device only after confirming that the CIDRW Controller has started. Also, unstable signals may occur at the host interface when the CIDRW Controller is started. When initializing operation, clear the reception buffer at the host device or take other suitable methods to clear unwanted signals.
