1. Introduction

The reader of the KIT33039 is a read/write RFID device for industrial
application, operationg at 13.56 MHz, that communicates with a ‘host’ system
(typically a PC or a PLC) through a RS232/RS485 serial line and acts as a joint
through a set of commands between the host system and rfid tags (or
transponders) presents near the antenna. The same 'master/slave' protocol is
used for the communication between the host system (‘master’) and the
reader (‘slave’), independently of the kind of connection (point to point,
multidrop net). Through these communication channels, it is also possible to
configure the functional parameters and to upgrade the firmware. For the

KIT33039 the reader works with a dedicated external rf antenna. The reader

is equipped with useful removable screw terminal blocks in order to facilitate
the electrical wiring in order to allow an easy installation.

Working description:
The version ‘R’ of the reader’s firmware is characterised by the coexistence of

2 ‘parallel’ and asynchronous activities: the transponder identification (UID
code of ISO 15693 transponders) and the communication with the ‘host’
system. The ‘continuous’ identification activity, based on an anticollision loop
sequence (max 16 transponders can be detected and identified), interacts with
the communication activity through a buffer that contains the UID code of the
last identified transponders. Due to synchronization and filtering reasons, the
buffer is handled by a parameter defined as ‘hold time’ (fixed value of 1
second) and allows to extend ‘artificially’ the presence of the transponders
after they leave the antenna’s influence area (the hold time is applied
individually for each present transponder); this behaviour is observable looking
at the yellow led status that is ‘on’ indicating the presence of transponder/s.
Through the command ‘inventory’ it is possible to get the data contained in the
buffer.

The reader allows the execution of ‘on request’ functions. During the
execution of these functions, the ‘continuous’ identification activity will be
suspended temporarily. The involved commands concern read/write specific
activities relative to the supported transponders.
