Product Overview
Operation When Tag Memory Setting Is Set to CA1D Mode
If the Tag memory setting for the V680-CH@D (version 1.1 or newer) is set to CA1D Mode, data is read
from or written to addresses that are reversed in block units for the V680-D1KP@@ (except for the
V680-D1KP58HT) in the same way as for the V680-CA1D/-CA2D. Therefore, data can be read from
the same addresses as those to which data was written by the V680-CA1D/-CA2D.
18
Canceling CA1D Mode
To cancel CA1D Mode, use the PARAMETER SET (SP) command to set the Tag memory setting to
Standard Mode.
Process code L: Set the Tag memory setting to Standard Mode. For the V600 protocol, set the tag
memory setting to 0. For the V680 protocol, set the tag memory setting to 00.
For details on the PARAMETER SET (SP) command, refer to PARAMETER SET (SP) under V680 Commands or V600
Commands in Section 3 Commands.
p.78, p.116
When CA1D Mode is canceled, the address mapping with the RF Tags will be different from the ones written in CA1D
Mode. This may cause unexpected addresses to be read or written. When canceling CA1D Mode, initialize the data in
the RF Tags before using them.

Setting the Operating Parameters
To optimize Hand-held Reader/Writer performance and reliability, operating parameters can be set to
match the application. The following parameters can be set: the inter-character monitoring time,
response delay time, auto command cancel time, write protection setting, and protocol.
Usually there will be no problem if the default settings are used, but the system can be optimized by
setting following parameters.
These parameters are stored in the internal memory of the Hand-held Reader/Writer and are saved
even if the power is turned OFF. When the internal settings are changed with the PARAMETER SET
command (SP), it is not necessary to reset the Hand-held Reader/Writer. The changes will be effective
immediately after the PARAMETER SET command is executed.
The PARAMETER SET command is also used to read the parameter settings. For details on the PARAMETER SET
command, refer to PARAMETER SET (SP) in Section 3.
p.78, p.116
Inter-character Monitoring Time
The Hand-held Reader/Writer recognizes a command when it receives the end code of a command
string that is sent from the host device. However, if for some reason the command is only partially
received, the Hand-held Reader/Writer will monitor for a fixed period of time after the last character in
the command string is received. If the complete command string is not received after the fixed period of
time has expired, a format error (end code: 14) will be returned.
Setting range
0 to 9,999 (ms)
Note: Default value: 99 (ms)
Response Delay Time
The start of returning a response can be changed by setting the response delay time.
The actual time from when sending the command has been completed until returning the response is started is the
Hand-held Reader/Writer's internal processing time (minimum: 0 ms) plus the response delay time (a set value).
Setting range
0 to 99 (ms)
Note: Default value: 20 (ms)

Initializing the Settings
A setting command is used to set the Hand-held Reader/Writer but if the communications parameters
are not known or if the setting contents are damaged, it is possible that communications will no longer
be possible with the host device. If this occurs, press both the reset button and the activate switch
when turning ON the power. This will return all settings to the defaults set when the Hand-held Reader/
Writer was shipped from the factory, allowing communications with the host device again.
Reset Procedure
1. Turn ON the power while pressing the reset button.
2. Keep the reset button depressed for two seconds or more. The green operation indicator will start
flashing.
3. With the green operation indicator flashing, remove your finger from the reset button and press the acti-
vate switch.
4. When the activate switch is pressed, the operation indicator will stop flashing green. This indicates that
all of the settings have been initialized.
Note: If the activate switch is not pressed within 30 seconds from the time that the operation indicator
starts flashing green, the settings will not be initialized.
The V680-CHUD does not have a reset button. To reset the V680-CHUD, shut down the software on the host device,
and disconnect and reconnect the connector.

Communicating with RF Tags
Specifying Data Code
Whether the read or write data is treated as an ASCII (or JIS 8) or hexadecimal is specified in each
command.
ASCII (JIS 8 Code)
• One character of ASCII or JIS 8 code data occupies 1 byte
(1 address) of the RF Tag memory.
Hexadecimal
• One character is treated as a hexadecimal number. Therefore,
only numerals 0 through 9 and A to F can be accepted.
• Two characters of data occupy 1 byte (1 address) of the RF Tag
memory. Therefore, specify data in 2-character units (in even
numbers) when using a WRITE command. If an odd number of
characters is specified by mistake, an error will occur.

V600 and V680 Command Comparison
The V680-series Hand-held Reader/Writer can use commands in either the V600 command format or the
V680 command format. By using V600 commands, production lines that previously used a V600-series
Reader/Writer can use the same application with the V680-series Hand-held Reader/Writer. New functionality
can be used by using V680 commands.
The PARAMETER SET (SP) command is used to switch between the two command formats. V680 and V600
commands are handled as shown in the following tables.

Commands
Description
When the Hand-held Reader/Writer receives a command, it communicates with an RF Tag and then
returns a response.
When the Hand-held Reader/Writer receives a command, it waits to detect an RF Tag in the
Antenna's communication area. When the Hand-held Reader/Writer detects an RF Tag, it communicates with the RF Tag and then returns a response.
When the Hand-held Reader/Writer receives a command, it communicates with the RF Tag when
the activate switch is pressed, and then returns a response.
When the Hand-held Reader/Writer receives a command, it waits to detect an RF Tag in the
Antenna's communication area after the activate switch is pressed. When the Hand-held Reader/
Writer detects an RF Tag, it communicates with the RF Tag and then returns a response.
Section 3
V680 Commands
Single Trigger (ST) Communications Specifications
After the antenna end of the Hand-held Reader/Writer has been moved close to an RF Tag, a single
trigger (ST) communications specification is sent from the host device to communicate with the RF
Tag.
1. Move the antenna end of the Hand-held Reader/Writer close to the RF Tag.
2. Send the command from the host device to the Hand-held Reader/Writer.
3. The Hand-held Reader/Writer will communicate with the RF Tag.
4. A response will be returned from the Hand-held Reader/Writer to the host device.
If communications end normally, the operation indicator (LED) will light green and then turn OFF.
If an RF Tag is not detected within the Hand-held Reader/Writer's communication area when the command is sent from the host device, an RF Tag Non-existent Error will occur. At this time, the operation
indicator will flash red.
