1 Product Overview
Precautions for Correct Use
Simple Connection with EtherNet/IP
The Reader/Writer communicates with the host device through EtherNet/IP. EtherNet/IP is an industrial
multi-vendor network that uses Ethernet. The EtherNet/IP specifications are open standards managed
by the ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association). EtherNet/IP is used by a wide range of industrial
devices.
Because EtherNet/IP uses standard Ethernet technology, various general-purpose Ethernet devices
can be used in the network. You can easily increase the number of Reader/Writers by using a Switching
Hub.

To connect more than one Reader/Writer, all devices must be set to a unique IP address.
EtherNet/IP has mainly the following features.
High-speed, High-capacity Data Exchange through Tag Data Links (Cyclic Communications)
The EtherNet/IP protocol supports EtherNet/IP-standard implicit communications, which allows cyclic
communications (called tag data links) with EtherNet/IP devices.
Tag Data Links (Cyclic Communications) at a Specified Communications Cycle for Each Application
Regardless of the Number of Nodes
Tag data links (cyclic communications) operate at the cyclic period that is specified for each application,
regardless of the number of nodes. Data is exchanged over the network at the refresh cycle that is set
for each connection. The communications refresh cycle will not increase even if the number of nodes is
increased, i.e., the concurrency of the connection’s data is maintained.
Because the refresh cycle can be set for each connection, each application can communicate at its
ideal refresh cycle. For example, interprocess interlocks can be transferred at high speed, while the
production commands and the status information are transferred at low speed.

Connection to a Workpiece Detection Sensor
• Ground the frame ground (GR) terminal on the power supply to 100 Ω or less. Otherwise,
performance may deteriorate.
• The black wire in the Power Supply Cable (pin 4) is not used. Do not connect it to any terminal.
• To use the Reader/Writer in Run Mode, connect the control signal wire (white) to +24 VDC of
the power supply. If you connect the control signal wire (white) to the 0-V side of the power
supply, the Reader/Writer will start in Safe Mode.
• Connect a power supply that meets the following conditions to the Reader/Writer.

• Connect the Ethernet Cable to a host device (e.g., Switching Hub or PLC) that supports STP
(shielded twisted-pair) and ground the host device to a ground resistance of 100 Ω or less.
2-1 RFID System Configuration
If you loop the Ethernet line, one broadcast packet may consume the entire bandwidth, preventing communications or possibly causing the Reader/Writer to stop operation. Do not create
a loop in the Ethernet line when you connect it.
Also, if a large volume of broadcast packets or multicast packets are placed on the network, the
Reader/Writer’s response speed will drop and the Reader/Writer may even stop operating. Do
not place a large volume of packets on the network in this way. Also, separate segments for the
Reader/Writer from broadcast or multicast packets.

6-2 RF Tag Communications
This section describes communications between the Reader/Writer and RF Tags. The operation
sequence for communications with RF Tags, response timing, and other factors depend on the communications command and communications mode.
6-2-1 Single-access Communications
With single-access communications, the Reader/Writer communicates with only one RF Tag in the
communications range.
Commands for single-access communications return the results of communications with the first RF
Tag detected in the communications range as the response.
If there is more than one RF Tag in the communications range, communications may not be
performed correctly.

6-2-2 Multiaccess Communications
V780 Reader/Writer
RF Tag
With multiaccess communications, the Reader/Writer communicates with more than one RF Tag in the
communications range.
For multiaccess communications, the results of communications with all RF Tags in the communications range within the timeout time are returned as the response. Communications can be performed
with up to 64 RF Tags with one communications command.
If writing were performed with multiaccess communications, it would not be possible to know which RF
Tag was written to, so multiaccess writing is not supported.

The Reader/Writer communicates with RF
Tags when a command from the host device
is executed.
When the Reader/Writer receives a command
from the host device, the Reader/Writer waits,
automatically detects an RF Tag entering the communications range, and communicates with it.
The Reader/Writer constantly monitors RF
Tags that enter the communications range.
When it receives a command from the host
device, it automatically determines which RF
Tag in the communications range is in front of
the Reader/Writer and communicates with
that RF Tag.
After the Reader/Writer receives a command,
it repeatedly communicates with the RF Tags
and returns a response when communicating
with an RF Tag was possible. Until the
smoothing buffer becomes full, the
Reader/Writer does not communicate with the
RF Tag once communicated.
Once
The Reader/Writer communicates with an RF Tag when it receives a command from the host device.
When the Reader/Writer is finished communicating with the RF Tag, it returns the communications
results to the host device and waits for another command.
If there is no RF Tag in the communications range when the Reader/Writer executes the command, an
RF Tag missing error will occur. It is therefore necessary to use a sensor or other device to detect the
presence of an RF Tag before a command is executed.

• If RF Tag exist in the communications range and communications with the RF Tag fails
After detection of the RF Tag, when the communication with the RF Tag is failed, the
Reader/Writer repeats communication until the timeout even. If the Reader/Writer cannot complete communications within the timeout time, the communications results (“RF Tag communications failed”) will be returned.
6-2 RF Tag Communications
The behavior of the RF Tag that has communicated once with the Reader/Writer depends on
the Gen2 session setting in the advanced RF communications settings. For details, refer to
Gen2 Session on page 6-26.
• No RF Tag in the Communications Range
When the Reader/Writer cannot detect the RF Tag, repeats detect an RF Tag until the timeout
even. If the Reader/Writer cannot detect the RF Tag within the timeout time, the communications
results (“RF Tag missing error”) will be returned.

When the Reader/Writer receives a command from the host device, it automatically detects RF Tags in
the communications range and communicates with them.
When the Reader/Writer is finished communicating with the RF Tag, it sends the response to the host
device and waits for another command. With auto communications, the Reader/Writer automatically
detects RF Tags, so a sensor or other device to detect RF Tags is not necessary. Also, auto communications will continue indefinitely until a command to stop communications is received from the host
device.

Non-target RF Tag B
Non-target RF Tag C Non-target RF Tag D
Focus
Use Focus Mode to differentially communicate with the RF Tag that is just in front of the
Reader/Writer.
When the Reader/Writer is in operation in Focus Mode, it constantly monitors RF Tags in the communications range. When the Reader/Writer receives a command from the host device, it automatically selects, from all of the monitored RF Tags, the RF Tag that is in front of the Reader/Writer (the
target RF Tag) and communicates with it. Even if there are RF Tags that are not to be read in the
communications range (non-target RF Tags), the Reader/Writer communicates only with the target
RF Tag in front of the Reader/Writer.
You can use Focus Mode to help prevent reading non-target RF Tags or to help prevent missing the
target RF Tag due to reading non-target RF Tags.
It is necessary to use a sensor or other device to confirm that the target RF Tag is in front of the
Reader/Writer before the command is executed.
6-2 RF Tag Communications
When the Reader/Writer is in operation in Focus Mode, it calculates the target levels for the RF
Tags in the communications range. When the command from the host device is executed, the
Reader/Writer selects the target RF Tag with the highest target level. The selected RF Tag is
identified as already being processed and the Reader/Writer will not communicate with it again
until it leaves the communications range. If the RF Tag enters the communications range again,
communications are again enabled with it as a selection candidate. (The “processed” status is
cleared when the target level drops to 0 or lower.)
If there is only one RF Tag in the communications range when the command is executed, that
RF Tag will be selected as the target RF Tag. However, any RF Tag that was previously communicated with and is identified as having already been processed will not be selected as the
target RF Tag.

the stability of the communications quality.
More time will be required for communications, but there will be
more resistance to interferences, such as from ambient noise.
RF Communications Timeout Time
The RF communications timeout time lets you specify an upper limit to the time required to process
single-access or multiaccess communications. You can use this to provide leeway for details in detecting RF Tags in the communications range or to adjust the timing of when responses are returned.
Setting item Description Default
Timeout time 1 to 60,000 ms (in 1-ms increments) 250 ms
The RF communications timeout time is measured from when the Reader/Writer starts executing a
communications command until an RF Tag is detected. If an RF Tag is not detected before the timeout time expires, an RF Tag missing error response is returned. If an RF Tag has already been
detected when the timeout time expires, communications with that RF Tag are completed. (Communications after RF Tag detection will not be aborted for a timeout.)
Write Verification
The write verify setting can be used to automatically check the accuracy of written data for any communications command that writes data to an RF Tag.
Setting Description Default
Selected After data is written to an RF Tag, the data is read to verify that the
correct data was written.
Not selected Verification is not performed after data is written to an RF Tag.

Gen2 Session
The Gen2 session setting determines the length of time to hold the status of the RF Tag. The
Reader/Writer communicates with an RF Tag and then sets a flag in the RF Tag after communications to indicate that it has been processed. The timing for retaining this flag depends on the session. We recommend that you normally use the default setting of S0.
Setting Description Default
S0 The status of the flag is not retained after power to the RF Tag is
turned OFF.
Use this setting to always process communications for each command for all RF Tags that are in the communications range.
S1 The status of the flag is retained for 500 ms to 5 s regardless of
whether the power supply to the RF Tag is turned ON or OFF.
Use this setting to process communications at a set interval for the
same RF Tags when a communications command is repeatedly
executed.
S2/S3 The status of the flag is retained for at least 2 s after power to the
RF Tag is turned OFF.
Use either of these settings to process communications only once
when each RF Tag first enters the communications range when a
communications command is repeatedly executed.
S0
If you specify a stop time in the transmission time settings and then stop the output during RF
Tag communications, you cannot use session S0 for multiaccess communications. If you specify S0 anyway, results may be returned more than once for the same RF Tag. (When the output
is stopped, the status in the RF Tag is reset, so the “already processed” status is cleared.)
