Functional description 6.1 General information Customer manual LFM 4x Reader 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 data is transmitted via the existing interface with the preset transmission parameters. If seve-
ral 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 sequen-
tially. Writing actions (data saved to a transponder) are generally only possible via commands from the host. 6.2.2 Polling mode LF reading devices can be set into a continuous reading state, which is referred to as polling mode. 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!
6.2.4 Test module HERMOS AG Gartenstrae 19 95490 Mistelgau Phone: +49 9279 991 - 0 E-mail: rfid@hermos.com LFM 4x Reader Rev1.4 www.hermos.com 16 WE GENERATE SOLUTIONS Customer manual LFM 4x Reader RFID 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. With the existing I / O module, HERMOS LF readers with ASC-W1 protocol also show the success-
ful or incorrect reading of the transponder at the respective first output port. See also behavior of the output ports in test mode. see also chapter DIP-switch 6.3 Illustration 6.3.1 Top view 1.

Component Description Power supply connection Power-LED Status-LEDs DIP-switch Ethernet interface Three-pin socket for the connection of the 24V DC power supply. The power LED indicates that the operating voltage is present and the rea- ding device is ready for operation. The two status LEDs are used for the reading and writing feedback in test and polling mode. 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 flas- hes at the read or write frequency. If the read or write process is successful, the yellow LED remains permanently lit. In normal operation, if an error occurs, the display of this occurs via the red LED:
Red LED constantly on: read error (no tag) red LED flashing rapidly: antenna error (tuning, cable break). This display will reset automatically with the next valid reading. After a restart, a short self-test of the LEDs, then display of the protocol: SECS: The red LED goes on briefly ASCII: The yellow LED goes on briefly DIP-switch 4 starts an automatic antenna tuning. DIP-switch 3 activates a test mode. DIP-switch 1 and 2 serve the antenna selection. The reading device features an Ethernet interface depending on the de- vice model. The communication with the device can be carried out via the 10/100 BaseT interface. RS232 interface Depending on the device model, the reading device features a RS232 in- terface. The communication with the device can be carried out via the serial interface (9-pin Sub D) HERMOS AG Gartenstrae 19 95490 Mistelgau Phone: +49 9279 991 - 0 E-mail: rfid@hermos.com LFM 4x Reader Rev1.4 www.hermos.com 18 WE GENERATE SOLUTIONS 6.3.3 Back view Customer manual LFM 4x Reader RFID HERMOS AG Gartenstrae 19 95490 Mistelgau Phone: +49 9279 991 - 0 E-mail: rfid@hermos.com LFM 4x Reader Rev1.4 www.hermos.com 19 WE GENERATE SOLUTIONS 6.4 Technical Specification Technical data Voltage (protected against reverse polarity) Power consumption

Operating 9.1 Operating personnel Customer manual LFM 4x Reader 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 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 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 deactivated in parameter 98 (0x62).

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 4 antenna ports from 1 to 4 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 (1 to 4) responds to the respective antenna port 1 to 4. Depending on the Factoryparameterset, it is possible to select the value range of the reader ID from 0 to 3 or from 1 to 4. In the SECS protocol, the target ID is used to select the antenna port: Target ID 01 to 04 responds to the respective antenna port 1 to 4. For customer-specific solutions, another reader (eg HFS ESN) can be connected to the RS232 interface. This reader is then used to communicate via the Target ID 05 or Reader ID 05.

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. (SEMI Equipment Communication Standard 1 Message Transfer SECS-I) Ethernet communication (HSMS):
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. 11.1 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.

(stream) Lower Message ID
(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.
