Technical data subject to change.
The STG (service and test device) is a powerful addition to the MOBY D,
MOBY E, MOBY F, MOBY I or MOBY U identification systems. It is a mobile
hand-held terminal based on the PSION Workabout mx and is designed for applications in the areas of logistics, distribution and service. In addition, it is an
indispensable aid when commissioning and testing.
1.1Application Areas
The MOBY hand-held terminal can be used with MOBY D, MOBY E, MOBY F,
MOBY I and MOBY U. The included service and test program makes it easy to
read and write all data memories of MOBY D, MOBY E, MOBY F, MOBY I or
MOBY U.
In addition, it is very simple for customers to program their own applications on
the hand-held terminal. A C library is available from Siemens for programming
the hand-held terminal read heads. Implementation of applications in the areas
of warehousing, logistics and commissioning is easy.
Very sturdy in design and protected against splashed water, the hand-held terminal can also be used in rugged environments. Its display is easy to read,
and in dark areas, display illumination can be turned on.
1.2Product Description
The MOBY hand-held terminal consists of a basic device and a read head from
MOBY D, MOBY E, MOBY F or MOBY I or an antenna of MOBY U. The basic device is a PSION Workabout mx. This device is the worldwide standard for handheld terminals. In addition, the terminal includes a memory card with the MOBY
service and test program including a user’s manual. The memory card is inserted
in the basic device. The service and test program starts automatically when the
hand-held terminal is turned on. All data memories of MOBY D, MOBY E,
MOBY F, MOBY I or MOBY U can be processed with the hand-held terminal.

3.4Charging Function
The battery charging procedure is started as soon as the PSION Workabout is
placed in the wall or vehicle holder. Charging is activated and indicated with a
green LED. See chapter 3.1.
When the batteries are empty, at least 14 hours are required for a complete
charge.
High-speed battery charging
The batteries supplied by Siemens for the PSION Workabout can be charged at
high speed so that the MOBY hand-held terminal can be operated directly in
the high-speed charging device available from PSION. A full charge takes
1 hour.
Use of other batteries
Other AA batteries can also be used in the PSION Workabout. These include
rechargeable NiCd batteries and alkali batteries which cannot be recharged.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to adhere to the PSION user’s manual.
The backup battery
The backup battery in the PSION Workabout is used to retain the application
data when the main batteries are empty. The backup battery is a lithium cell
which cannot be charged. Remember that, when the main batteries are empty
or have been removed, a new backup battery can only maintain the data in the
RAM for just a few days.
The batteries of the STG U hand-held terminal (in the PSION Workabout and
the MOBY U antenna) can be charged with only one power pack
(6GT2 503-1DA00).

4.2MDS Functions
The “MOBY D/E/F/I/U” Programs
The MDS functions handle communication with the MDS.
The MDS function is not interrupted if
you briefly move the MDS out of the
read field. The MDS function is terminated if MDS processing does not take
place for more than 30 seconds. See
chapter 4.5.
After a command is started, a window
with a bar appears on the display. This
bar shows how much of the command
has already been processed.
4.2.1General Information on Read and Write-Accessing
an MDS
The MOBY D, MOBY E and MOBY F MDSs use block-oriented data accessing.
A read or write-access to an MDS is only possible at the beginning of a block.
One block contains 16 bytes (or 10 hex) with MOBY E/F. Thus, the start
addresses for MDS processing to be entered on the STG are:
00, 10, 20, 30 hex and so on.
With MOBY D a block has a length of 4 bytes (I-Code, Tag-it) or 8 bytes (my-d).
The start addresses are:
00, 04, 08, 12 hex ... (I-Code, Tag-it) or
00, 08, 10, 18 hex ... (my-d).
With the MOBY D/E/F/U, the TagId on the display is automatically updated to
the current value after the read/write access.
However, you can also specify any start address.
This will be accepted by the STG and corrected to
the next lower block beginning. The corrected address is indicated for the operator in a window and
must be acknowledged.
An additional window appears if you change data in
the editor and then attempt to read an MDS. The
window tells you that the data which you have just
modified may be overwritten again with the “read
MDS” command. You can retain or reject the modified data in the editor, or you can terminate the command completely.
Note
ECC mode can only be set on the MOBY I hand-held terminal.
R 01.04
ECC mode cannot be used with MOBY D/E/F/U.
4.2.2Reading the MDS
A data block with a start and end address, which can be defined as desired,
can be read from the MDS. If the same value is entered for the start and end
address, only one block can be read from the MDS. The address area is indicated in another screen for confirmation.
Note
If mode “Complete MDS” was selected in the read/write field of the
menu “Extras/Address Setup/...,” the “MDS/read” funktion is started
immediately without asking any questions. The complete MDS is always processed.

4.2.3Writing the MDS
A data block can be written to the MDS. The data block which is valid in the
editor is indicated as the default for each write access. The default length or
end address can still be changed to another value during the write-access.
4.2.4Erasing/Initializing the MDS
The “erase/initialize MDS” function is used to write the entire MDS with a
certain value in a very short time. The erasure value can be entered in a
subsequent menu. After the deletion function has been performed, the memory
in the editor is also erased with the value which was entered. With the
MOBY I/U, the correct size of the MDS memory must be set (Extras/MOBY I
Setup or Extras/MOBY U Setup) before this function is performed.
Only MOBY U: The function reads the status data from the MDS and indicates
it.
MDS status information
S MDS number (8-position, hexadecimal format) and MDS memory size (2 or
32 kB)
S Data for calculation of the battery lifespan (total accesses, total search, and
change sleep time)
S Remaining battery life time of the MDS in %
S Sleep time set on MDS
Note
For calculation of the battery lifespan of the MOBY U data medium,
it is essential that the STG software have the current calendar week
and the current calendar year. This is the reason the date must be
set correctly on the PSION Workabout.
The date can be set via the system menu “Time” → “Time and date.”
Proceed as shown below.
S Exit the MOBY U service and test program via “File/Exit.”
S Select “System screen.”
S Position the cursor on the application “IMG.”
S Click the “Menu” button.
S Select “CTRL/Set time and date.”
S Set “Time” and “Date” and accept with “Enter” button.

4.2.6Reading the ID Number
Only MOBY D/E/F/U: The function reads and indicates the serial number of the
MDS. The ID number is set at the factory and cannot be changed.
The TagId is displayed in hexadecimal format by the editor in the second line.
The TagId is automatically read with the “MDS read/write/erase” functions.
4.2.7Reading OTP Memory
Only MOBY U: The function reads the complete OTP memory (16 bytes).
Note
When the mode “MDS complete” was selected in the “Read/write”
field in the “Extras/Addresses Setup/...” menu, the function “MDS/
Read” is started immediately without any further questions. The
entire MDS is always processed.
4.2.8Writing OTP memory
Only MOBY U: The function writes the complete OTP memory (16 bytes).
Note
The OTP memory can be written only once. Before execution, you
are asked again whether you really want to execute the function
since this action is irreversible.
Only MOBY D/E/F: This function is used to physically read the entire memory of
the MDS. This includes TagId, key information (if public), manufacturer’s
information and MDS access rights. A knowledge of the physical layout of the
MDS memory is required to interpret the data. See description of MFWAPI or
CCTWAPI.
The “read raw data” function can be used to detect errors made when the MDS
was configured.
Note
For MOBY F
MDS addresses 8 to 3F hex (i.e., pages 2 to 15) cannot be read.
They are always shown by the editor as 00.

4.3File Functions
4.3.1Loading a File
The “MOBY D/E/F/I/U” Programs
A file can be loaded to the STG editor which was
S saved before with the “file/save” command or
S transferred from the PC to the “RAMDRIVE (M:)” drive of the PSION. See
chapter 6.2.
4.3.2Saving
Data currently being displayed by the editor can be saved in a file on the
PSION. The file name may consist of 1 to 8 letters or numbers. During the
storage procedure, the extension “.HEX” (data) and “.HX1” (ID no.) is
automatically added to the file name. See also chapter 6.2.
A memory area of approximately 1.8 Mbytes is available on the hand-held
terminal for storage of MDS data (i.e., with MOBY E, up to 2000 MDSs can be
read and stored).
4.3.3Exiting
The “exit” function can be used to conclude the STG program of MOBY. This
gives you access to the operating system levels of the PSION hand-held
terminal. See chapter 6.3.
You can enter a memory address in decimal or hexadecimal format. The
setting can be changed under menu item Display/Display Address. This
address will then be represented by the editor as the start address.
R 01.04
This function can also be triggered directly in the editor with the “Tab” key.
4.4.2Display
The following settings are available in this menu.
S Switch the editor between 32-byte representation (i.e., 4x8= fine-print
display) and 4-byte representation (i.e., 1x4= large, easy-to-read
characters).
S No address is displayed for editor representation 1x5. This display is very
good when reading fixed-code MDSs with the MOBY F. With other MDS
types, the first 5 bytes of the read data are displayed. You cannot change to
other addresses with the cursor.
S Switch the editor between hexadecimal and ASCII representation. The
addresses are always shown in hexadecimal or decimal format.
S Switch date between “BIN,” “ASCII,” “DEC” and “HEX” format.

In addition to the standard formats hex and ASCII of the editor screen, the “edit
date” function also provides the decimal and binary formats for data entry.
S InterfaceSwitching between the TTL interface (read head) and the
RS 232 interface takes place here.
If the RS 232 setting is used, the protocol must be set to
“MOBY E/SIM” or “ASM 420/I/V.”
No setting is required for MOBY U. The interface is
permanently set to RS 232.
S ProtocolCertain protocols can be set here depending on which read
head is being used.

When the MOBY protocol is set, the memory size of the editor
is also automatically specified for MOBY E/F.
With MOBY I, the memory size of the editor is set with the
“Extras/MOBY I Setup” function.
The 3964R protocol is permanently set for MOBY U. The

4.5.2Password
A password can be programmed as an option. The password must be entered
prior to a write-access function. Once entered, a password remains valid until
the STG is turned off (i.e., the password only has to be entered once during
several consecutive write commands). The “MOBY” program can also only be
exited with the password.
Default password
On delivery, the password is “123.” This password is also set after you remove
the batteries of the STG.
Forgot the password?
If a password is forgotten, there is no way to obtain it again. The only solution
is to remove the main battery and the button cell from the PSION for a few
minutes. After the batteries have been re-installed and the device has been
turned on, the STG assumes its status on delivery (i.e., the password is “123”).
Password 99999999
Changing the password to 99999999 (i.e., eight 9s) has a special purpose.
The write-access function to the MDS and the “file/exit” function can no longer
be executed. The password can also no longer be changed. The only way to
access the write-access function again is to remove all batteries. See also
“forgot the password?”.
4.5.3Antenna
Only for MOBY E: The antenna field on the read head is switched between
“card” (large antenna) and “button” (small antenna). See also chapter 3.2.1.
The antenna must be set once when the read head is commissioned. The
set antenna is retained on the read head when the hand-held terminal is
turned off.
This function defines the call of the “read/write MDS” commands.
S Start address +Length:Entry of the MDS address for the read/
write command uses a start address
and the length of the data to be
processed.
End address: Entry of the MDS address for the read/
write command uses a start address
and an end address.
S Read/WriteSwitching from “block” to “complete MDS” takes place
here. This setting affects the default setting for
execution of an MDS command.
Block:When an MDS is read/written, the
currently active area is always indicated
as the area to be read/written.
Complete MDS: When an MDS is read/written, the
entire MDS is always processed.
The read/write function is started
immediately. Partial MDS areas cannot
be entered.

is scanned and indicated as “Status” when it is empty.
S Sample rate:The scan time is only relevant when the MDS 507 is
used with an ASM 420. The setting range is 0.1 sec to
6.3 sec. The default value (0.5 sec) usually does not
have to be changed.

S Key A/B:You can switch between the “MOBY key” and the
“B transport key for MIFARE data memory.”
The MOBY key is always standard. The “B” setting
permits the MIFARE MDS to be processed in its status
on delivery. (The B key must be in its original state.)
S Mode:Only for MOBY E SIM (cf. chapter 6.6):
Switches the SIM from cyclic mode to continuous mode.
Command processing is much faster in continuous
mode.
S Memory size:Specify memory size of the MDS to be processed. This
setting can also be used to specify the memory area in
the editor. MDS memory addresses beyond the memory
size cannot be accessed.
S Standby time:The standby time can be set in increments of 7 msec
from 0 msec to 1400 msec. The default value (OFF)
usually does not have to be changed.
S Working rangeThe field length (limit distance) is 3 m. It can be set in
limitation:increments of 0.5 m to avoid excess working ranges for
the antenna.
The setting range is between 0.5 m and 3.5 m. The
default value is 1 m.

The “FILEHANDLER” program is designed so that you can use the same functions to access the files on the hand-held terminal and the files on the MDS.
The directory display is available for both the hand-held terminal and the MDS.
MDS files can be copied from the MDS to the hand-held terminal (and vice
versa) with just a few keys.
An optional connection to the PC (3link cable, see appendix A.1) permits you to
exchange files stored on the hand-held terminal with the PC.
You can then process the data with your familiar PC programs (e.g., WORD,
EXCEL, and so on). Prerequisite: The PC application must support the contents and data structure of the MDS file. See also chapter 6.

The filehandler’s monitor screen display is either “Directory – View” or “Editor –
View.” You can use the menu “Editor/Display Editor” and “Editor/Display Directory” menu to switch between the two displays.
5.3.1The Data Editor of the Filehandler
The design of the data editor of the filehandler is similar to the standard STG
program. See chapter 4.1.

The directory view shows either all files of the MDS or all files of the STG RAM.
The directory view makes it very easy to read files from the MDS or copy files
between hand-held terminal and MDS. See chapter 5.4.

5.4The File Functions
The file menu primarily contains three functions which can be called.
S Read file
S Write file
S Read and display directory
These functions can be executed on both the MDS and the internal memory of
the hand-held terminal.
5.4.1Read File from MDS (Read File from Tag)
After this function has been called, a menu appears in which you can select a
file with the cursor keys. All file names can be scrolled through, including the
ones in the directory view (see chap. 5.3.2).
After you have scrolled through all the files,
the file name “New Tag DIR” appears. If you
press the Enter key, the filehandler reads a
directory from an MDS.
You can then select one of the new files
If you continue paging through the file selection menu until the file name “Other File” appears, you can enter a file name (with the
ASCII keyboard of the hand-held terminal) in
the menu which appears.
After this function is called, a menu appears in which you can select a file with
the cursor keys. All file names in the RAM of the hand-held terminal with the
file extension .HEX are displayed. If the STG RAM does not contain any files
with the extension .HEX, the message “No file available” appears.
5.4.3Write File to MDS (Write File to Tag)
The file name is entered as described in chapter 5.4.1. After a file name contained in the directory is entered, you are given the following choices.
You can overwrite the file or append the new
data to the existing file.
In the next screen, you can still change the
length of the data to be written.
The default length is always given as the
value of the length of the data in the editor. If
you change the default length, the data
length on the MDS will also be adjusted.
If you selected the “Append” data option, the file is automatically read again after execution of the write function. This gives you the complete updated file on
the editor.
If you selected the file name “Other File” when you called the write function and
entered a new file name with the keyboard, the “Create” screen appears.
If you confirm this screen with “Yes,” a new
file is created on the MDS before the data are
written to the MDS.

5.4.4Write File to STG RAM
When a file is saved, the file name indicated in the editor is also indicated as
the default name. You can still change the file name before saving the file. The
file name may contain up to 8 characters. When the file is saved, the file extension .HEX is automatically added to the file name.
5.4.5Read Directory from MDS (Read Dir from Tag)
The file directory of an MDS is read and indicated on the display in the directory
view (see chap. 5.3.2). With some MDS types, this may take several seconds.
5.4.6Read Directory from STG RAM (Read Dir from STG
RAM)
The file directory of the hand-held terminal’s RAM (drive M:) is read and indicated on the display in the directory view (see chap. 5.3.2). Only type *.HEX
files are shown on the display. Also, only files located in the root directory of
the hand-held terminal’s RAM are indicated on the display.
The functions described in this chapter make it very easy to copy files. Files
can be copied from MDS to MDS or from STG RAM to MDS. The procedure for
copying a file from a first MDS to a second MDS will now be described:
1. The function “File/Read Dir

5.5The Commands Menu
The “Commands” menu contains only
commands related to the MDS memory.
5.5.1New File (Create File)
“Create File” is used to set up a new file on the MDS. The file name may not
yet exist on the MDS. The new file is always given a length of 0.
5.5.2Delete File
This function deletes a file from the MDS memory.
If you are in the directory view, it is very easy to start the delete function by
pressing the “Del” key. You can use the “Del” key to delete files from the MDS
or the hand-held terminal. The files are deleted from the hand-held terminal if
the STG files are being shown in the directory view.
5.5.3Format MDS (Tag Format)
Before it can be used with the filehandler, the MDS must be formatted. Before
formatting, it is important to set the memory size of the MDS correctly. Use the
Extras/Parameter function for this. Formatting deletes all data from the MDS,
and a new file structure is set up.
This command can be used to assign access rights to the individual files. This
protects the files from unauthorized and unintentional overwriting. The directory view shows the file attribute in the right-hand column (see chap. 5.3.2).
The following file attributes are available.
AttributeDescription
–No attribute or an existing attribute is deleted.
RRead only. The file can only be read. It cannot be written, overwritten
or deleted.
WWrite once. The file can be written once. The file cannot be written
again. It also cannot be deleted.
FFixed length. The file can be read as often as desired. It can only be
written when this does not change the length of the file. Data cannot
be appended, and the file cannot be deleted.
F/R“Fixed length” and “read only” are set. This attribute has the same
effect as the “R” attribute.
File attributes can only be assigned to MDS files. Files on the RAM of the
hand-held terminal always have the type “–” (i.e., they can always be changed
or deleted).

The Cover command protects the entire file structure on the MDS. If an MDS is
“covered”:
S Every file can be read.
S Every file can be written as long as the file length is not changed.
S No files can be deleted.
S No new files can be created.
S The format of the MDS can be initialized again. This “uncovers” the MDS.
S The “covered” state can be canceled with a Cover command and the setting
“not covered.”

The editor shows the current size of a file in the second line. This length can
be modified with the “File Size” command. When the file is made longer, an appropriate number of zeros (00 Hex) is appended to the end of the file. The editor shows the appended portion with inverted digits.
5.6.4Delete Display (Clear Display)
This function clears the memory of the editor display. The hexadecimal value
of the filler character can be specified. The standard filler character is 00hex.
After deletion, all data in the display are shown inverted to indicate that no data
have been entered yet by the user.
5.6.5Jump to Address
Normally the cursor is positioned within a file with the four arrow keys (, , ,
). With large files, it is much quicker to use the “jump to address” function to
position the cursor anywhere within the file. You can also call the “jump to address” function very easily with the Tab key.
5.6.6Display Setup
The display is set here. You can choose either hexadecimal or ASCII format.
In ASCII format, the characters which cannot be shown appear as white fields.
For more information, see the ASCII table in appendix A.3.
The “parameter” function is used to make the basic settings for the filehandler.
ParameterDescription
MDS sizeThe gross memory size of the MDS is set here.
This memory size is shown in the first line of the display. The Format
command uses the memory size to specify the file system. If the
“MDS size” parameter does not correspond to the MDS being used,
the MDS can still be used. Only the Format command would produce
the wrong result.
MDS typeHere you can switch between RAM, EEPROM and MDS 507. FRAM
memory is treated as RAM memory. If EEPROM is selected, the battery error message is suppressed on the display since these MDSs do
not have batteries. If MDS 507 is selected, the dialog battery is also
evaluated. When empty, this is shown on the display.
ECC
SLG no.
(hex)
EAKOThe entry/exit check cannot be set on the STG with the filehandler.
Activate/deactivate ECC driver
When an MDS is processed, the SLG no. selected here is written to
the system area of the MDS. It has no effect on the function of the Filehandler program on the STG.
The STG does not use entry/exit control (AEKO = 4).

5.7.2Password for Filehandler (Password for FH)
The filehandler password protects the STG data on the MDS from being manipulated by unauthorized parties. The passwords for the “Filehandler” and
“MOBY D/E/F/I/U” programs are identical. See chapter 4.5.2 for a description
of how to handle the password.
5.7.3Communication
In principle, communication of the filehandler is always set to “read head.”
However, the filehandler can be changed to “ASM on RS 232” as an option. A
type “ASM420-RS232” module can then be connected to the hand-held terminal. For more information, see chapter 6.6.
Remember that a type “ASM 421” module cannot be used with the STG.
5.8The “?” Functions
These functions are the same as those of the “MOBY D/E/F/I/U” programs.
See chapter 4.6.
The data read from the MDS are automatically stored on the hand-held terminal
in a file named “READ_D.HEX,” “READ_E.HEX,” “READ_F.HEX,”
“READ_I.HEX” or “READ_U.HEX” on the “RAMDRIVE” drive of the PSION.
Every additional read command overwrites this file.
When the MDS is write-accessed, the write data are written from the editor to
the MDS and also to the “RAMDRIVE (M:)” drive of the PSION under the name
“WRITE_D.HEX,” “WRITE_E.HEX,” “WRITE_F.HEX,” “WRITE_I.HEX” or
“WRITE_U.HEX.” Every additional write command overwrites this file.
The “file/load file” function shows all files with the file extension “.HEX.” You
can select one of them with the cursor keys. This file is then loaded to the editor. There is no storage under the name READ_x.HEX or WRITE_x.HEX.
The “file/save” function stores the data of the editor in a file with the file extension “.HEX” and at the same time the ID number in a file with the file suffix
“.HX1” on the RAMDRIVE drive of the PSION (i.e., drive M:). You can specify
any name of 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters.
Note
When you read data from the MDS, modify data in the editor and
then save the data, the modified data will be stored in the .HEX file.

Any editor can be used (e.g., NOTEPAD, WRITE, WORD and so on).
When binary data were exchanged with the MDS:
Use a HEX editor. HEX editors are available on the shareware market
(e.g., Hedit and so on) or on the professional market (e.g., Codewright).
After concluding your session with PsiWin, the remote-link connection should
be disconnected again.
To restart the STG application, see chapter 6.7.
Before starting a new session with PsiWin, the STG application should be exited.
The READ_x.HEX file only contains the pure data which also exist on the MDS.
The length of the file is the same as that of the MDS, specified in bytes.
6.2.4Organization of the READ.HX1 File
The READ_x.HX1 file contains the ID number. The READ_x.HX1 file is only
created for MOBY D/E/F/U.
6.3Functions with the PSION Operating System
You can use the FILE/EXIT menu command to access the operating system
level of the hard-held terminal. We will now describe some of the functions
which are available with the PSION operating system.
S Simple writing of a batch file to copy MDS data to a memory card (e.g., on
drive B:).
S Generation and modification of an AUTOEXEC file to change the time for au-
tomatic switch-off or the time for the backlight to save battery power and thus
increase operating time for one battery charge. The AUTOEXEC file is located in directory A:\BTF\Autoexec.btf.
S Edit the read MOBY data with the PSION editor. Remember that this editor
can only be used when the MDS data are in ASCII format.
S Spread sheet function
S Calculator
S Execution of DOS commands
See the manual entitled “PSION Workabout USER GUIDE” for a detailed description of operating system functions and standard programs. This manual
can be ordered from PSION. See appendix A.1.

6.4Parallel Execution of Several Applications
Several applications can be processed at the same time on the Windows level
of the PSION hand-held terminal.
Proceed as shown below.
S Exit the MOBY service and test program. The following basic PSION screen
appears.
S Menu → System screen
You are in the Windows level of the PSION. Several icons appear on the
display.
S Move the cursor to the right until the IMG application appears on the display.
S The applications which you can start are shown under the IMG icon.
– MOBY D/E/F/I/U = MOBY service and test program for the particular
MOBY family
– FILEHAND= MOBY filehandler programm
– MENU = MOBY program selection menu
– Other customer applications. These must be stored in the IMG directory.
On delivery, no other application is indicated here.
S Select the MOBY D/E/F/I/U application with the cursor keys, and press Enter.
The familiar MOBY STG application is started.
S Press the key combination “ + TAB.” The basic PSION screen reappears
on the display.
S Select the next program to be started on the IMG icon or on the total Win-
dows screen (e.g., the CALC pocket calculator), and start it by pressing Enter. This program now appears on the monitor screen.
This procedure can be used to start applications and PSION operating programs in addition to the normal MOBY application. All programs run simultaneously on the hand-held terminal.
R 01.04
6.5Automatic Power Saver Function
The PSION hand-held terminal has an automatic power saver function. This is
activated after no keys have been pressed on the PSION for approximately
5 minutes.
In addition, the “MOBY D/E/F/I/U” programs have another power saver function.
The MDS command being executed is interrupted if no MDS is detected 30
seconds after the start of an MDS command or the MDS being processed is
moved out of the field for more than 30 seconds. The following message appears.
You can now completely terminate the command
with ESC or continue with ENTER. If you decide
to continue, the interrupted command is continued at the point at which it was interrupted.
6.6Connecting SIM Devices (MOBY E/I/V)
A MOBY E SIM can be connected to the RS 232 interface of the PSION. The
following figure shows the connection diagram. Before commissioning, a
switch must be made to MOBY E/SIM or ASM 420/I/V with the “EXTRAS/COMMUNICATION/PROTOCOL” function.
With this configuration, SIM can be used to work with the “MOBY” program and
user applications with the MOBY library. Cf. appendix A.2.

Note
Since the standard SIM uses cyclic operation, it takes much, much
longer to process a read/write command than with the STG read
head. The EXTRAS/MOBY E Setup/MODE command can be used
to switch the SIM to the faster read mode. This command must be
repeated each time SIM is turned on.
ASM 420/I/V:
This settings permits an ASM 420/RS 232 to be connected to the hand-held
terminal. The connection cable must comply with the specifications in the
ASM 420 documentation. In ASM 420 mode, the MOBY V driver is always enabled during the “MOBY I” program. SLG 65 can be used on the ASM 420 with
this. Use of MOBY I SLGs is limited.

6.7System RESET
The hand-held terminal executes a system RESET when the device is turned
on for the first time after the batteries have been installed. This RESET is the
same as a hardware RESET.
A system RESET can also be triggered by hand. To do this, press the key +
Ctrl + Del (Shift + Esc + Del on the PSION with the numerical keyboard) simultaneously.
During the system RESET:
S The MOBY STG application is started again.
S Data stored in flash memory are always retained (drive A: or B:).
S The data in RAM memory (drive “RAMDRIVE:”) are retained. However,
these data will be lost if all batteries (including lithium cell) of the PSION are
removed.

7The “MOBY D/E/F/I/U” Programs with the
PSION Numeric Model
The MOBY service and test program also functions without restrictions on the
PSION Workabout with numeric keyboard. This PSION model is useful for applications in which only simple and identical applications are performed by untrained personnel. This model of the hand-held terminal can be ordered directly from PSION. See appendix A.1.
The functionality of the 4 function keys can also be put to good use. The following STG functions can be called directly via function key.
F1 = Read MDS
F2 = Write MDS
F3 = Load data from file
F4 = Save data in file
Data can only be entered with the numeric keys.

A.2Developing User Applications
What Do I Need?
The C development package from PSION (SIBO C SDK incl. Top Speed Compiler) is required for user applications.
For the communication connection, you will also need a 3link interface and the
PC cable with a 9-pin sub D and mini DIN plug connector.
Although, in principle, applications can also be developed with the Basic
programming language OVAL, the MOBY library cannot be used.
The MOBY Library
A library for MOBY D, MOBY E, MOBY F, MOBY I and MOBY U is available.
The library (MOBY D/E/F/I/U) must be ordered under order number
6GT2 381-1AB00. The C library also includes a description of the interface
commands.
The following table summarizes the implemented commands.
The MOBY D Library

vMobyDCloseCloses the opened interface
Although the commands of the MOBY E library are the same as those of the
standard MOBY E library “CCTWAPI,” not all commands of “CCTWAPI” are
available on the hand-held terminal.

Das STG (Service- und Testgerät) erweitert die Identifikationssysteme
MOBY D, MOBY E, MOBY F, MOBY I bzw. MOBY U um ein leistungsfähiges
mobiles Handterminal (Basis: PSION Workaboutmx) für Applikationen in den
Bereichen Logistik, Distribution und Service. Darüber hinaus ist es ein unentbehrliches Hilfsmittel bei der Inbetriebnahme und beim Test.
1.1Einsatzgebiete
Das MOBY-Handterminal ist bei MOBY D, MOBY E, MOBY F, MOBY I und
MOBY U einsetzbar. Das enthaltene Service- und Testprogramm gestattet ein
einfaches Lesen und Beschreiben aller Datenspeicher von MOBY D, MOBY E,
MOBY F, MOBY I oder MOBY U.
Darüberhinaus kann der Kunde sehr einfach seine eigene Applikation auf dem
Handterminal programmieren. Eine C-Library für die Programmierung der
Handterminal-Leseköpfe wird von Siemens angeboten. Damit werden Anwendungen im Bereich Lager, Logistik und Kommissionierung einfach realisierbar.
Der Einsatz des Handterminals kann auch in rauher Umgebung erfolgen. Das
Handterminal ist sehr robust und gegen Spritzwasser geschützt. Das Display ist
gut lesbar. In dunklen Räumen kann eine Displaybeleuchtung zugeschaltet
werden.
1.2Produktbeschreibung
Das MOBY-Handterminal besteht aus einem Grundgerät und einem Lesekopf
von MOBY D, MOBY E, MOBY F oder MOBY I bzw. einer Antenne von

Der Schreib-/Lesekopf von MOBY D/E/F/I wird einfach mit dem PSION-Grundgerät verschraubt. Er besitzt eine serielle TTL-Schnittstelle für die Kommunikation mit dem Grundgerät. Die Spannungsversorgung des Lesekopfes liefert das
Grundgerät.
Die Antenne von MOBY U und das PSION-Grundgerät werden über eine
Schiebemechanik gekoppelt. Die Kommunikation erfolgt über die RS 232Schnittstelle. Die Spannungsversorgung der Antenne liefert ein integrierter
Akku-Pack.
Der Schreib-/Lesekopf oder die Antenne und das STG-Programm können auch
einzeln bestellt werden. Damit ist es möglich, dass der Kunde ein bereits vorhandenes PSION Workabout verwendet oder ein Workabout mit anderer
Schnittstellen- und Tastatur-Konfiguration direkt von PSION bestellt und einsetzt.
