These products were developed specifically as an add-on equipment for the PSION-workabout hand-held computer, for mobile applications. The combination of this hardware provides a very flexible and versatile RF ID System and excellent cost-efficiency. A high standard of user comfort is achieved thanks to the ergonomic design, compact outline and low weight. Note: Use only PSION-workabout computers with an ,RS 232/RS 232 TTL" option!

The DAISY Reader Module is fully compatible with the ISO 11784/5 standards and is capable of reading HDX or FDX-B-compatible transponders. H 4002-compatible transponders are also supported. The acquisition of transponders takes place within a large acquisition range and is very fast. Some of the parameters for the reading function allow configuring to user requirements. Operation of the equipment requires an application software for the PSION-workabout computer addressing the reader module and processing the transponder data. Very efficient programming toois are available for preparation of the user software for the PSION-workabout

(e.g. OPL, OVAL, C) ensuring a high degree of flexivity, fast implementation and optimal adaption to user needs. Thanks to the configurable outputting format of the acquired transponder data an optimal adaption to the application software is possible. The software example supplied with the equipment for communication between the reader and the PSION gives you a good start for programming.

-3- 041 DHP 101 / 102 2.2 Contactless RF-ID Identification RF Identification - Functioning Description The objects to be identified are fitted with passive transponders carrying the identification data. You then need a reader for communication with the transponders. The reader generates a high-frequency field which activates the transponder once the latter has entered the acquisition range. The high-frequency field serves as a power source for the transponders and as a data transfer channel towards the reader. The transponder data (unprocessed) thus received are used by the reader to generate a data block (ID Output) which it makes available for further processing through an interface. Aside from the readers for mobile use, like the DHP 101/102 the DAISY product line also offers stationary readers for fixed installation. Benefits:

The benefits of RF identificaiton relate to the comfortable and easy-to-

automate acquisition process. The data exchange takes place in a contactless fashion, without optical contact and without need to know the exact position of the transponder. The transponder is resistant to the typical environmental factors associated with their employment, enjoys a long service life and suffers no wear. Typical Applications:

The range of applications in the farming business covers all acquisition processes involving animals with electronic transponder marking:

* Automation, documentation and statistics for feeding, weighing, etc.

* Proof of animal origin for the entire life span of the animal down to the end user

* Inspections and checking in the veterinary and trading domain. Further applications retate to marking, identification and automation within the scope of automation technologies and logistics. DHP 104 / 102 2.3 Transponders supported by the system The DAISY Reader Module is fully compatible with the ISO 11784/5 standards and supports HDX and FDX-B-compatible transponders. In addition, the reading of H4002-compatible transponders is also possible. Types of transponders:-FDX-B transponders I.A.W. 1SO-11784/11785

- HDX-transponders 1.A.W: [SO-11784/11785

- H4001/4002/4003 transponders and H4002 compatible transponders 3 Installing the Reader Module on the PSION-workabout The DHP 101/102 reader module is mounted to the top of the PSION-

workabout. For this purpose, place the module on the upper surface of the computer properly oriented and install it by means of the two pre-

assembled screws (antenna lefthand-side, Fig. 3). This also ensures the electrical connection of the module to the PSION-

workabout for power supply and communication. IMPORTANT: Never apply force to the screwing connection to avoid damage to the reader module or the PSION-workabout. Make sure, the reader module is never exposed to extensive physical strain. FIG. 1 Installing the DHP 101/102 Reader Module on the PSION-workabout 8 C43 DHP 101 / 102 3.1 Operation 3.1.1 Basic Settings The DHP 101/102 Reader Module is pre-set to the reading mode by the manufacturer. After installation on the PSION-workabout hand-held computer it is ready to function with the suitable application software. 3.1.2 Activation of the Reading Function the opening of the PSION-workabouts TTL port by the application software switches on the power supply for the DHP 101/102 Reader Module (see Operating Instructions for the PSION-workabout and the reference program at chapter 5.6). In the Read Mode, the reading function is activated at once. After recognition of a transponder in the antenna field, the module automatically transmits the pre-processed ,raw data as an ID output via the serial interface. As long as a transponder stays in the antenna field, the data are transmitted at a configurable repetition rate. Deactivcation of the reader module only takes place when closing the TTL port by means of the software. In the Request Mode, the reading function is only activated after receiving a command (Get single ID). The reading function is terminated after recognition of a transponder and the transmission of the ID output, or after expiration of a time-out function. Take the transponder to be read into the acquisiton range of the activated reader module (see chapter 2.3.3). The operating mode (READ or REQUEST) and several parameters of the reading function may be configured according to the specific application. The modificaiton of parameter settings is effected via commands from the PSION-workabout (see chapter 5.4).

-6- 044 DHP 101 / 102 3.1.3 Reading Function After activation of the reading function a transponder entering the acquisition range can be read very quickly. The DHP reader module achieves the following range performance dpending on the particular type of transponder:

* 25 cm with HDX-compatible transponders (30 mm in dia.)

* 19 cm with FDX-B-compatible transponders (DAISY DTE 530)

* 17 cm with H4002-compatible transponders (DAISY DTE 230) At the indicated range values, a stationary transponder will be acquired within 1 second. the reading range is the distance of a transponder from the vertical edge of the DHP 101/102 reader module housing (see FIG. 1) as measured along the imaginary antenna axis. Please note the following factors influencing the acquisition range of the equipment:

* Orientation of the transponder with respect to the reader module: The transponder axisshould be parallel to the axis of the reader antenna (see Fig. 1, 2 for disk or rod-shaped transponders). The larger the angle between the axes, the shorter the effective range.

* Temperature range / environmental conditions: An optimal result is achieved within the admissible operating temperature range for the equipment and within an environment free from interference (see chapter 6, Technical Data).

* Installation of the transponder on metal surfaces: This may adversely affect the reading distance

* Transponder size: The size of the transponder is directly proportional to the achievable reading distance.

* Simulataneous operation of multiple RF ID systems: The individual systems may interfere with each other. IMPORTANT: Please make sure there is only one transponder within the acquisition range of the reader module. The presence of multiple transponders may greatly affect the acquisition reliability of the system.

The data formats of the ID Output selectable by configuration (e.g. ASCII or binary) enable the user to achieve optimal integration within his particular application. The content of the raw data and the ID output differ according to the type of transponder:

-Q- G47 DHP 101 / 102 3.1.6 Power Supply The power supply and communication of the DHP 101/102 reader module is effected via the TTL port of the PSION-workabout. No separate power supply is required. The PSION-workabout can be powered by two primary cells of the

,Mignon* type. The use of alkaline primary cells will allow 3000 reading cycles (typically). For permanent operation of the equipment we suggest the use storage batteries which are rechargeable by means of the charge station within the equipment (both items are PSION accessories). Using the appropriate accessories the PSION-workabout can also be operated via external power pack. To avoid cutting down on battery life of the PSION-workabout the application software should only activate the highly current consuming functions of the reader module as long as required for reading the transponders. In the Read Mode of the reader module this is possible using the respective software commands for the opening and closing of the TTL port of the PSION-workabout. In the Request Mode, the reading cycle will start on a signal from the PSION-workabout and will terminate automatically after reading of the transponder.

-10- 048 DHP 101 / 102 4 DHP Version 102 For applications requiring an online link between the identification data with data from external equipment an additional interface is needed. Thus, supplementary data (e.g. from barcode scanners or weighing systems) can be read into the PSION-workabout or the identification data can be outputted for further processing (e.g. to a PC, network or printer). The PSION-workabout hand-held computer with the RS232/TTL option already provides a second, unused RS232 interface mechanically concealed by the housing of the reader module.. With the DHP 101 connection to external equipment is only possible when using the PSION-interface module ,3-Link" or the PSION Base Station (PSION accessory equipment). The DHP version 102 variant makes the RS232 interface accessible from the outside. The associated SUB-D connector is located at the bottom of the housing to prevent the connecting cable from interfering with the reading operations. Fig. 4:

RS232 interface of the DHP 102 reader module IMPORTANT: Use the supplied protective cap to protect the connec-

tor when not in use. Use only the connecting cable offered as part of the DAISY accessory program. The spiral shape of the cable (extendable from 50 cm to 200 cm in length) the angular connector housing and the stress-relief feature of the cable on the DHP 101/102 with a cable clamp are perfectly adapted to the intended use as a hand-held equipment accessory. The integrated anti-interference ferrit prevents mutual interference.

-11- 049 DHP 101 / 102 5 Operating Mode The reader modules support two operating modes, selectable as per configuration. 5.1 Read Mode / Default Setting The DHP 101/102 reader modules are set to the read mode (default mode) by the manufacturer of the equipment. The reader module starts a reading cycle as soon as the supply voltage is applied (controlled by the PSIONs application software; LOPEN TTY:G). When a transponder is detected, the acquired and processed transponder data are ASCII coded as an ,|D output"and transferred to the serial interface. The ID output is repeated for as long as the transponder is located within the acquisition range. The format of the ID output is DHP 104 Psion described at chapter 5.3. The communication is unidirectional from ae Lopen |

the reader to the PSION - [Power ON | TTY: G) workabout, with no response re-

quired. It is not required that the [Reading f. activated |

entire record of the reader module [I be implemented into the application software, when limited to the read mode. The !ID output may be Po received as a simple ASCII string 1D-OUTPUT and the frame may be cut off. Transponder grasped When receiving a command, the reading cycle is interrupted for processing of the command. Should the reader module be busy with an ID output, then the command will be neglected and must be repeated.

-12- 050 DHP 101 / 102 5.2 Request Mode While the DHP 101/102 operates as a mere data sensor in the Read Mode under chapter 4.1, it will also allow bidirectional communication with the PSION-workabout in the Request Mode. The PSION aplication software may control the reading function. The

,Get_Single_ID command will start a reading cycle based on the programmed configuration: The ID output of a recognized transponder will be transferred once to the interface in the respective format. The reading function terminates after such recognition of a transponder and transmission of the ID output or after expiration of a preset timeout.

[DHP 101 | Psion eo Lopen Power ON TTY: G Reading f. activated Transponder grasped nd ID-OUTPUT The reading cycle is repeated when a new ,Get_Single_IDcommand is transmitted. in this mode, the interface record is a bi-directional one. In this context, the PSION-workabout serves as a command transmitter and the reader module as a responding ,parinert The commands are confirmed by the receiver. A change to the configuration (see chapter 5.7) will allow adaption of the following characteristics to the required application:

* Readable types of transponder, e.g. FDX only, will increase the reading speed.

* Reading characteristics, e.g. lower repeat rate of the ID output, if a transponder continues to stay within the acquisition range.

* Output format, e.g. binary output/Compact Coding reduces the space required for storing the Ids.

For FDX-B transponders, the header and control bits are included. ID Outputs with an invalid CRC according to ISO (or an incorrect parity bit for H 4002) are not rejected, which allows reading of transponders with a different structure. (for HDX only in case the header is identical). the absence of error check will also lead to an output of data received with bit errors.

0x01 DHP 101 / 102 The Configuration Register Cig_Mode defines the Read- or Request Mode. The Cfg_Format Configuration Register is used for setting the output format of the transponder ID. The Cfg_RF determines the type of transponder to be read. The Configuration Register Cfg_ Timeout defines the switch-off time for a reading cycle in the Request Mode. By means of the Configuration Register Cfg_Delaytime, you may determine the repeat rate for the same ID Output The configuration data are stored in an EEPROM and are preserved also after power shut down. if a ,Set_Conf' command is applied to a non-defined register, the system will respond with a NACK message. Non-defined bits within a configuration register will be suppressed.

User manual FOR MicroID TELESCOPE EXTENSION ANTENNA DAP100 1) Introduction The DAP-telescope extension antenna is a high quality product from HOTRACO MicroID. When used in conjunction with a DHP111/112-Reader Module for the PSION-workabout you are provided with powerful mobile RF/ID system. The telescope antenna can be extended from 0.30 up to 1.20 metres, that makes controlling inside the stable a lot easier. Not extended the combination of antenna and Reader module is still very handy. 2) Mounting The DAP-telescope extension antenna is to be mounted to the backside of the PSION-workabout. Then the antenna has to be connected to the Reader module with the white connection cable. Before that, you have to take the blind plug off the Reader module. Please store this blind plug in a safe place. If you want to use the Reader modules internal antenna you have to put the blind plug back on. Mountingplate for PSION-workabout MX Since October 98 Psion produces the PSION-workabout MX. The PSION-

workabout MX was developed from the old PSION-workabout and is, according to Psion, more powerful. Unfortunately Psion didnt only change the interior of the PSION-workabout but also the exterior. According to that well have to change the fixing of our telescope-

extension antenna DAP100 to fit on the new MX. Since some customers still use the old PSION-workabout we deliver our telescope extension antenna DAP100 with two different mounting plates. As a default the plate for the old PSION-workabout is mounted. So if you own a new PSION-workabout MX, youll have to change the plate (all screws you need are provided). For that matter you first take the old plate off the antenna bottom. Then you take the distantpiece and mount it between the new plate and the antenna bottom. While mounting, please watch for the connection cable to the Reader module. It has to be in the small rim spared out in the antenna bottom. Otherwise you might damage it. Finally mount the antenna to the back of your PSION-workabout MX. 3) Handling The telescope antenna DAP100 can be extended in two phases. Therefor you have to loosen the black locks and pull the extension out. To fasten it, just tighten the locks again. While working with the antenna, please handle it with care, because the inside of the antenna top is breakable. 4) Technical data Antenna extension:
