Functional description 6.1 General information 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 data is transmitted via the existing interface with the present transmission parameters. If several interfaces are available and connected to the host, the transmission is always carried out on the most recently used interface. The data is embedded in a defined communication protocol and exchanged between the reader and host. 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 (UID) 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 sequentially. Writing actions (data saved to a transponder) are generally only possible via commands from the host.

The reading device automatically performs a reading operation when the input 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. 6.2.3 Test module The HERMOS LF reading devices support a test mode that facilitates setting up the antenna and checking the reading ranges during commissioning. From the 4 Dip-Switches (near the network connector) the DIP3 and DIP4 are used for test mode. The evaluation of the DIP switch depends on parameters. See also chapter DIP-switch. If the device is in read test mode, the reader triggers every 300ms a read at the last selected I/O port. For detected sensor:

If no transponder could be read the red port LED is short switched on for 200ms. As long as a tag is read successfully, the green port LED is on. For released sensor:

If no transponder could be read the red port LED is short switched on for 20ms. As long as a tag is read successfully, the green port LED is flashing with about 2,5Hz (200ms on/off). For the write testmode at first a tag read is triggered every 300ms. When the tag could be read than the reader triggers a tag write every 500ms. When tag write fails than the tag read is triggered again every 300ms. For the write testmode a yellow port LED (red and green port LED switched on) indicates that the tag could only read. The green port LED indicates the success of read and write process. During test mode, the green status LED flashes if the read or write fails and lights up steadily if the read or write succeeds. The orange status LED has no functionality and is permanently switched on. See also Status LEDs.

Operating 9.1 Operating personnel 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, some reader supports ASCII or 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 Since the LFM 32x WipRack reader only supports the ASCII protocol, automatic protocol recognition is deactivated. 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 possible after another reset. Automatic protocol detection can be enabled or disabled by setting parameter 98 (0x62). With automatic protocol detection enabled, receiving undefined or random characters may result in an accidental protocol change. Since the LFM 32x WipRack Reader only supports ASCII protocol, automatic protocol detection is disabled and it is not recommended to enable this feature!

Each of these ports has its own antenna tuning with which the connected antenna is tuned to the ambient conditions. In the set protocol, the read or write commands are always executed by port. The 32 antenna ports from 1 to 32 are numbered consecutively and are addressed accordingly in the logging command. In the ASCII protocol, the reader ID decides on the selection of the antenna port. The reader ID (00 to 1F) responds to the respective antenna port 1 to 32. 9.4 Customer Factoryparametersets The reader LFM 32x WipRack can be delivered with a few Factoryparametersets. The settings of the Factoryparameterset is part of the factory settings and should only be changed by Hermos. If customer needs another Factoryparameterset setting, please ask Hermos for the necessary steps. The installed Factoryparameterset can be read by parameter 64 (use command G0164). Factoryparameterset 3: (CFP3 ASC-W1 mode) The reader only distributes the advanced SZ ASCII protocol, where up to 32 antenna ports can be addressed by a 2 ASCII characters port ID 00 up to1F. The antenna is addressed by the ReaderID 00 to 1F, or TargetID 01 to 32. If SECS protocol could be used, then no MID area would be defined. The USB connector (virtual COM-Port) can be used for serial host communication. For the TCP/IP communication the complete end packet of the ASCI-I1 protocol will be transmitted (end character and 4 bytes checksum). P-command: The parameter value will be interpreted as hexadecimal value. The additional F-command can be used to deliver the parameter value with hexadecimal interpretation. X/R/W-command: The page value will be interpreted as hexadecimal value. Errors will be send with the command E. With default settings a confirmation has to be send. The additional B-command can be used for signal the detection of an object. On default the master/slave mode is deactivated, so the Ethernet port and the USB port can be used for host communication. On default the ports LEDs are not influenced by sensor triggered events. Factoryparameterset 4: (CFP4 standard ASC-I1 mode with watchport 0 to 3) The reader only distributes the advanced SZ ASCII protocol, where up to 32 antenna ports can be addressed by a 2 ASCII characters port ID 00 up to1F. The antenna will be addressed by the ReaderID 00 to 1F or TargetID 01 to 32. If SECS protocol could be used, then the standard MID range of 2 pages / 16 characters would be defined. The additional B-command can be used for signal the detection of an object. The RS232 port can be used for serial host communication. On default the ports LEDs are not influenced by sensor triggered events.
