Functional description 6.1 General information Customer manual LFM 4x Reader E84 RFID LF reading devices are radio frequency identification systems that use radio transmission to read or write data of LF transponders (134,2 kHz), which operate as tamper-proof electronic tags. The LF reading devices communicate with common transponders (134,2kHz) according to ISO 18000-2 and ISO 11785 that are available on the market. The device is designed for 4 load ports and has connection options for 4 RFID reading heads with antennas, sensors and LEDs. In addition, barcode scanners with RS232 interface can be connected via 4 SubD sockets for each port, which are automatically activated if no RFID tag is detected. The data is transmitted via the existing interface with the preset transmission parameters. If several interfaces to the host are available and connected, the transmission always takes place on the last interface used. The data is embedded in a defined communication protocol and exchanged between reader and host. In addition, these devices offer 4 interfaces for communication with an automatic transport system according to the SEMI Standard E84. Each of the 4 RFID ports is assigned an E84 interface and can therefore be used for automatic loading or unloading of the load port. 6.2 Basic functions - operating modes During normal operation, the LF reading device supports various basic functions:
Heartbeat function, software version query Scanning of transponders in the antenna area Reading data Writing data Locking data Setting and reading out parameters Setting and querying inputs and outputs The LF devices can be set in 3 other operating modes by setting the parameters: Polling operation
(optional), sensor-triggered automatic reading and test mode. 6.2.1 Normal operation During normal operation, the LF reading device is immediately ready for operation after a reset. It does not perform any automatic actions in this mode (standby). During normal operation, actions are triggered by protocol commands from the host. A scanning procedure or reading in the data area is initiated by a command of the host system using the communication protocol. In addition to the actions triggered by the host, a corresponding message can be automatically sent to the host and an automatic reading operation can be started by activating or releasing a sensor. When the reading operation is successful, the read data is immediately transmitted to the host. If several antenna ports are occupied simultaneously, the reading operations are processed sequen-
tially. Writing actions (data saved to a transponder) are generally only possible via commands from the host.

The device then performs reading operations at regular intervals and outputs the corresponding data of the read LF transponder. The reading device also continues carrying out protocol messages in polling mode. This may, however, result in delays in the poll rhythm. The polling functionality is optional customer-specific available!
6.2.3 Sensor-triggered operation Device versions with IO module (at least 1 input) offer the function of a sensor-triggered automatic reading operation. The reading device automatically performs a reading operation when the in- put is triggered. The type of action (inventory/reading) can be defined with the parameters Read mode and Read page. The read data is automatically sent to the host. The result of the reading operation (successful, not successful) can be optionally output via I/O s of the respective antenna port. With the E84 reader, the sensor-controlled automatic readout via special feature parameter is deactivated in the delivery state. 6.2.4 Test module The HERMOS LF reading devices support a test mode that facilitates setting up the antenna and checking the reading ranges during commissioning. HF reading devices feature several DIP swit-
ches on the housing. These switches can be used to activate test mode. The functions in test mode are described on a sticker located on the reading device housing. The evaluation of the DIP switch depends on parameters. If the device is in test mode, the red status LED flashes at about 1 Hz. The yellow status LED then indicates the status of the test mode. If the read or write process was unsuccessful, the yellow LED flashes at the read or write frequency. If the read or write process is successful, the yellow LED remains permanently lit. see also chapter DIP-switch 6.2.5 E84 mode The HERMOS LF reader provides each of the 4 antenna ports with a 25-pin standard E84 interface. The LF reader takes on the role of passive equipment. The following signals are served: CS_0, CS_1, TR_REQ, L_REQ, U_REQ, READY, BUSY, COMPT, HO_AVBL and ES. CS_0=HIGH and CS_1=LOW is expected as the address. The E84 communication was implemented according to the SEMI E84-0305 standard. The E84 communication is monitored by the standard timers TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4 and TP5, which are implemented with the default values. During error-free E84 communication, the yellow status LED on the reader also flashes slowly at 0.5 Hz. If there is no E84 communication, the yellow status LED on the reader goes out. If the reader is in test mode (maintenance mode), all 4 antenna ports are switched to manual E84 access mode, which prevents valid E84 communication.

An unsafe error state is only cleared when, in addition to the monitored E84 input signals, no more errors are detected by the sensor. A safe error condition, on the other hand, is already resolved when the monitored E84 input signals have been reset. If the internal display data structure is used (can be parameterized via Par. 112 Display Setup, then the current E84 status is shown in line 4 of the respective display. In the error state, the error is output on the corresponding port display in line 4 and the yellow status LED flashes quickly at 2 Hz as long as the error is present.

Line 1: Shows the host name of the reader and the port number is appended with "-Px". Line 2: Shows the station type of the respective port. This is set individually for each port via parameter 116. Line 3: Shows the MID or the barcode that was determined via the read function function S18F9. Read errors or the removal of the foup also lead to an update of the line. Line 4: Shows the current E84 status of the respective port. E84 Access Mode I/O Module:
Starting with software version V1.3FV00, a second optional I/O module is supported, which offers the option of changing the E84 access mode of the relevant port via an input per E84 port. There are two different ways of functioning, which depend on the selected CFP. The main difference here lies in the settings of parameter 121 E84 Access Mode Setup. CFP1: A sensor input should make it possible to switch the reader to the E84 Access Mode Manual in order to prevent further automatic wafer handling. Automatic wafer handling can then be enabled again via the same sensor input. A sensor input (2nd sensor !!) is provided via the optional I/O module, which is operated in button mode and used for switching between automatic and manual E84 access mode. In addition, the optional I/O module provides an output for each E84 port that displays the current E84 manual access mode of the port in question:
Automatic E84 access mode:
LED is off Manuel E84 Access Mode:

Operating 9.1 Operating personnel Customer manual LFM 4x Reader E84 RFID The device should only be operated by specially trained personnel. If you have any doubts about the required qualifications, please contact the manufacturer. The operation of the device without special expertise can result in damages to the device or on connected devices. 9.2 Protocol change 9.2.1 General To communicate with a connected host system, the reader can support different ASCII and SECS/HSMS protocols. The protocol selection takes place by means of automatic protocol recognition. The currently set protocol is displayed on the status LED during the boot process. SECS: The red LED goes on briefly after self test ASCII: The yellow LED goes on several times The current realisation of the E84 reader only supports SECS/HSMS protocol !
9.2.2 Automatic protocol detection The reader automatically adjusts to the protocol used by checking and evaluating the first message after a reset. The interface is changed accordingly when the protocol is changed and reinitiali- zed. This process can take several seconds. Already sent messages are lost. The newly recognized protocol is used for further communication. A renewed change is only pos- sible after another reset. Automatic protocol detection can be disabled by setting parameter 98 (0x62). If the reader receives undefined or random characters, this may result in an accidental protocol change. Automatic protocol detection can be activated/deactivated in parameter 98
(0x62). The current realisation of the E84 reader only supports SECS/HSMS protocol and a automatic protocol recognition is not necessary and is disabled on default.

A host is a computer or computer network that exchanges the information with the systems to carry out the production. The standard does not define the data contained in the message. The meaning of the messages must be defined by a standard that defines the message content e.g. by the SEMI Equipment Communications Standard E5 (SECS-II). This message record describes the communication between a reading device with SECS-I and a host. The host and the RFID reading device can communicate via a RS232 interface (SECS-I) or an Ethernet interface (10/100BaseT) with HSMS protocol. The meaning of the messages is provided in the message details section in which the message content is defined. Serial communication (SECS-I):
The data is transmitted or received as a serial bit stream with 10 bits per character in a supported data rate. A standard character has a start bit, 8 data bits and a stop bit. No parity bits or other controls are used for transmitting the individual bytes. Default setting: 19200 / 8N1 Details about the data definition and the data transmission are provide in the SEMI Standard E4.

The reading device functions as a HSMS server. This means that it waits for a connection request from a HOST PC (client). TCP/IP: IP-Adress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Port 3241 If there is a connection request from a HOST, a HSMS connection is set up and the SECS II messages defined in the message record are transmitted from the reading device to the respective HOST and vice versa. The HSMS connection remains intact until it is specifically terminated by the host or the reading device. All reading devices available in the network (LAN) can be operated from any HOST PC. A HSMS reading device, however, can no longer be connected to more than one HOST simultaneously. The network settings can be changed using a configuration tool provided by HERMOS. Each change to the network settings causes the unit to reboot and thus disconnects existing communication connections. 10.1 Structure of a message The communication structure and process is defined by the SEMI Equipment Communications Standards E4, E5 and E37 (SECS-I, SECS-II, HSMS). SECS message blocks always have a specified structure that consists of 1-4 length bytes, 10 bytes of message headers and message data.

(function) Upper block number Lower block number System byte 1 System byte 2 System byte 3 System byte 4 Message data 16 Bit checksum The length contains all the bytes transmitted after the length byte with the exception of the two checksum bytes. The maximum block length allowed by the SECS-I is 254 bytes and the minimum is 10 bytes. The reverse bit (R bit) indicates the direction of the message. The R bit (MSB) is set to 0 for messages to the reading device and 1 for messages to the host. The device ID is a unique number to establish the connection with the reading device. It consists of an 8-bit gateway ID (bit 0-7) and a 7-bit reader ID (bit 8-14). The gateway ID in the delivery state corresponds to the last two hexadecimal characters of the serial number of the reader. The reader ID has the value 0x01 in the delivery state. Of course, the device ID can be changed via the corresponding parameters Gateway ID and Reader ID within the validity range. See example with Reader ID 0x01 and Gateway ID 0x00:

If the W bit contains the value 1, it means that a reply is expected. The message ID determines the format and the content of the transmitted message. It consists of a stream and a function. The stream defines the message group and the function, the exact meaning and the syntax of the message. A primary message (request) is defined as an uneven message. A secondary message is defined as an even message (reply). The end bit indicates whether a block is the last block of the message. A value of 1 means that the block is the last block. Since all messages can be transmitted in a block, the block number always has the value 1. The system bytes in the header of each message are used to distinguish primary messages. The system bytes of the reply message must correspond to the system bytes of the corresponding primary message. The system bytes are incremented for each primary message. The checksum is calculated as the numerical sum of the unsigned binary values of all bytes after the length byte and before the checksum as well as in an individual block. For more detailed information about the structure and transmission procedure, see SEMI E4, E5, E37, E99.
