1. Installation and Usage Guide

About this Guide

This installation and usage guide explains how to install the V750 reader, how to use the browser-based interface, and how to control the reader remotely.

1.1 Before You Begin

1.1.1 Installation Requirements

• The reader is shipped with DC cable whose length is 2.9m (9.6ft).

• Use only authorized antennas and cables to conform to the local laws and regulations.

• Provide strain relief for all reader connections.

• The minimum screw size for mounting the reader is M4. Use suitable wall anchors when mounting to

drywall or masonry whose thickness is 16mm or more.(Refer to 1.4.1 Install the reader)

• A Shielded Ethernet cable must be used to communicate with other devices.

• Multiple readers and antennas can be used in combination to enhance detectability at specific locations

provided the software application is able to synchronize antenna operation.

1.1.2 Performance Considerations

Reader performance may be affected by external factors including tag variables and environment.

Performance tests conducted under typical operating conditions at your site are recommended to help you to optimize system performance.

Tag Variables

There are several variables associated with tags that can affect reader performance:

• Application surface — Some materials interfere with tag performance including metal and moisture. Tags applied to items made from or containing these materials may not perform as expected.

• Tag orientation — Reader performance is affected by the orientation of the tag in the antenna field.

• Tag model — many tag models are available. Each model has its own performance characteristics (refer to

Chapter 2.5).

Environment

Reader performance may be affected by the following:

• Metal surfaces such as desks, filing cabinets, bookshelves, and waste cans may enhance or degrade reader performance.

Mount antennas as far as possible from metal surfaces that are adversely affecting system performance.

• Devices that operate at 900 MHz, such as cordless phones and wireless LANs, can interfere with reader performance. These devices may degrade performance of the reader. The reader may also adversely affect performance of 900 MHz devices.

• Antennas operating in close proximity may interfere with one another, thus degrading reader performance.

14 of 135 ©

• Interference from other antennas may be eliminated or reduced by using either one or both of the following strategies:

–

Affected antennas may be synchronized by a separate user application using a time-multiplexing strategy.

– Antenna power can be reduced by reconfiguring the RF Transmit Power setting for the reader.

18 of 135

1.3.3 Setting the reader RF Power

During initial installation, the reader must be properly configured to use the correct RF power. DO NOT increase the power beyond the recommended power setting as calculated below.

The maximum RF power is determined from antenna gain and antenna cable loss using the formula:

Maximum RF power = 35dBm (3.28W e.i.r.p 2W e.r.p) - Antenna Gain + Cable Loss

For example, if the antenna has a maximum gain of 6 dBi, and the cable has a minimum loss of 1.5 dB, the maximum RF power that may be set is (35 – 6.0 + 1.5) = 30.5 dBm.

The reader RF Power is set through the Communication Settings Page as described on Page107.

2. Functions and Control

Reference Guide

This chapter lays the groundwork for the communication protocol between client software running on a remote computer and the V750 reader.

2.1 Reader Operating Mode

Reader operating mode contains three modes, Operation Mode, Safe Mode and Update Mode.

Mode Function Note

Operation Mode: Under this mode, the reader

communicates tags normally.

Safe Mode: Under this mode, the reader

recovers or is maintained after error.

Update Mode: Under this mode, the reader

updates firmware.

If you push the Mode Switch for 1 second or more and release the switch while the system is running, or if the reader detects an error (ex. System error or a failure of firmware update), and it can not start up normally due to this error, the reader will start up under Safe Mode. Under this mode, you can check the status via Web browser, initialize the setting and install the firmware.

2.2 System Interface

2.2.1 Command I/F Function

2.2.1.1 Ethernet, RS-232C Connection

Via 10/100BaseT Ethernet or RS-232C, the host issues a command to control the reader. As the control method, V750 supports original procedures. Same commands are used via Ethernet and RS-232C.

Via Ethernet (TCP/IP, Port:7090

PLC

(1) Ethernet

Ethernet is connected with the host such as server computer via TCP/IP protocol.

IP address corresponds to dynamic IP address assigned by DHCP server. You can choose the static IP address (Default 192.168.1.200) or a dynamic IP address. Default setting is static IP address. The port 7090 is used by reader for communication. IP address and the port number (over 1024) can be changed by using a setting command or Web page. If the reader can not detect the DHCP server under dynamic IP address setting, it will flash the error indicator and start up with static IP address.

2.2.2 Reader Configuration

In some cases, the application software may provide support for reader configuration. If so, follow the instructions provided with the application.

The following procedure describes how to configure the reader directly from a PC using the browser-based interface.

The reader is with a static IP address which is default setting '192.168.1.200'. At first you can connect to the reader using the default IP address and change IP address to adjust it to your network environment.

Default network setting:

IP Address: 192.168.1.200 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.254

If you are not using DHCP, you must know the IP address and subnet mask settings for the network environment in which the reader will be running. If you are using DHCP, you must have a means of finding the reader, typically by having a DHCP server update a DNS server.

How to change network settings is as the following:

1. Exit any reader applications that are running on the network.

IMPORTANT: Running another reader application while using the browser-based interface may cause a reader error. If this happens, reboot the reader or restart the system using the browser-based interface.

2. Verify that the reader is operational. All LED should be out except for ‘PWR’ and ‘RUN’ indicator which should be on.

3. Start a Java-enabled web browser from any network-enabled PC. This PC must be configured with an IP address and subnet mask compatible with the reader’s settings. For example:

IP address 192.168.1.100 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

4. Browse to…

< Operation timing of communication sequence>

(1)Single Once The reader reads a single tag at a time (One-to-one communication). When the reader detects the first tag, it returns response and terminates transaction (one response/ one transaction). If the reader does not detect any tag, it continues the process for a specified period of time. In this case, the response indicates “0” as the number of tags. If the period is not specified, it continues the process until the termination command has been sent or until it detects a tag.

At each period, the reader returns all read tag’s results to the host. If it does not read any tag during each time period, it returns response meaning there is no tag.

2.4.5 Communication Data Control

(1) Filtering function

Filtering function enables the reader to communicate with selected tags that are suitable for pre-specified conditions. Two filtering conditions can be registered as the pair of comparing area (Bank, Address, Length [bit]) and data value. And the reader uses filtering condition as 1

condition.

- To read pallet level tag selectively when item level tags and pallet level tag are existing together.

- To read only the selected vender’s tag if there are various kind of venders’ tags.

- To read the tags that has exclusive data format (the number of PC+EPC bit, NSI).

- To selectively read the specified tags that have certain supplier’s IC.

(2) Smoothing function

Smoothing function consists of following three types. Using this function, the reader can reduce the data transferred between the host and the reader.

1) Prevention of response duplication The reader can prevent duplicated responses of same tag ID in a one response.

2) Prevention of reread Under this function setting, the tag that has been already read does not reply in the transaction period during the communication sequence (Repeat Access Mode: Single Repeat, Multi Repeat) which repeats its transaction,

3) Omission of no tag response Under this function setting, the reader omits the responses if it does not read any tag in the communication sequence (Repeat Access Mode: Single Repeat, Multi Repeat) which repeats its transaction.

2.4.6 EPC Word Length

You can increase communication precision by setting the EPC word length of a tag to be read. The length shall be set with “0” as an auto mode or a number from 1 to 32 as fixed length mode. Default value is “0” (auto mode).

z For fixed length mode, set a total number of tag’s PC length (constantly 1) and EPC word length.

Value Description

(auto mode)

1 to 32

(fixed length mode)

Ex1) When EPC word length of a communicating tag is unknown set EPC word length to “0” (auto mode).

[Tx] SETC ewl=0 [Rx] SETC0000

Ex2）When EPC word length of a communicating tag is known beforehand, set the word length.

For example, set it as follows when all EPC length of a communicating tag are 96bit (6 words).

[Tx] SETC ewl=7 [Rx] SETC0000

If the number of tags to be read is two or more and each tag has different EPC length, set the greatest number of the EPC word lengths of them.

R/W measures the EPC word length of the tag automatically and sets the most suitable value. Generally, use this mode. R/W communicates with the tag depending on the set value. If you have a word length of the tag to be read before hand, use this mode. The value must be the greatest of the EPC word lengths of the tags to be read.

Tag A

EPC=6 words

[Tx] SETC ewl=11 [Rx] SETC0000

[Note] If you set the smaller value than the actual EPC word length, communication precision may be decreased.

Tag B

EPC=10 words

Set it to 11 (PC 1 word and EPC 10 words)

Tag C

EPC=4 words

2.5 Tag Fundamentals

Tag Memory Structure

Protocols and the tag memory structures supported by the V750 reader are described below. For additional information regarding tag operation, refer to each tag specification.

GEN2 Tags

GEN2 tags have four memory banks. Kill Password and Access Password are stored in bank 00 (Reserved Area), EPC code is in bank 01 (EPC Area), Tag Identification Memory data that is read only is in bank 10 (TID Area). User data is in bank 11 (User Area). For the detailed information refer each tag's specification.

3. Command Line Interface

About this Guide

This chapter lays the groundwork for the communication protocol between client software running on a remote host and the V750 reader.

3.1 Command Interface

3.1.1 Command / Response Frame Structure

Ethernet and RS-232C has almost the same command structure for command line I/F. Command frame has a Command Code area to control the R/W and Command Data area that is used with Command Code. Terminator that indicates the end of the frame is [LF].

RS-232C requires a start code [SOH], check data, and [CR] additionally. The start code shall be at the beginning of the frame, and the check data and the [CR] shall be just forward terminator [LF].
