Exceptions to the MiniPCI Express form factor: top shield side thickness is 2.4 mm (instead of 2.01 mm) and bottom shield side thickness is 1.35 mm (instead of 1.75 mm). 14 IM11 RFID Reader Module Integration Guide (Confidential) About the Connectors The module mounts on a PC board and connects to it using a mini-

PCI connector, P/N JAE MM60-52B1-E1 or equivalent. Intermec recommends using the higher profile connector, because the low profile connector does not fit flush to the PCB with the low profile connection. The antenna receptacle is a Hirose U.FL connector (50 ohm, coaxial). Supported Antennas The module has been tested to work with a variety of antenna types. Antenna systems, combination antenna and cables, are restricted to

+6 dBi linear gain in North, Central, and South America. Europe have a maximum antenna system gain restriction of 2 Watt effective radiated power. Radio communications regulatory agencies in each country has restrictions for antenna gain or transmitter power. Consult with your Intermec OEM Sales Representative or Professional Wireless /RFID Installer for details. These antennas are approved to work with the IM11:

Antenna primary linear (0 dBi linear, omni) PIFA omni yagi (5.5 dBi linear) Ceramic patch antenna (2.5 dBi, circular polarized) Cross polar linear (dual pole antenna) High gain circular polarized panel 11 dBiC (8 dBi linear) High gain linear panel (8 dBi) RFID printer coupler (-30 dBi) NeWave N7 (5.5 dBi, multi axis dipole) Note: To use the 8 dBi antennas, the module integrator needs to reduce the output power to 29 dBm. You can use any antenna with similar construction to one of the approved antennas, as long as it has equal or less gain. The module integrator is responsible for final regulatory approvals. IM11 RFID Reader Module Integration Guide (Confidential) 15 Operating Modes This illustration shows the module Overtemperature and Standard operating modes. Overtemperature Mode Standard Mode No IM11 receives a request for a tag operation from an application Yes IM11 is in Idle mode. Application checks reason for failed status and returns overtemperature condition. IM11 receives a request for a tag operation from an application. IM11 API returns

"Status=Failed."

No Is the IM11 temperature

<85 C?

The IM11's ability to return to normal status depends on the ability of the card to dissipate the heat. The IM11 is designed to operate at 1 Watt of continuous power between

-20 C and +60 C. These limits are not user programmable. Yes IM11 API returns Status=Normal"

and data, if found. The module has a temperature sensor. If overtemperature is detected

(nominally 85 C), the module sends an overtemperature message. No RF output occurs until the temperature falls below the recovery threshold (nominally 75 C). 16 IM11 RFID Reader Module Integration Guide (Confidential) In most situations, Overtemperature mode adequately protects the module against very high temperatures. However, if you use the module in a high duty-cycle operation for extended periods of time at elevated temperatures, you may want to attach a heatsink to the perforated top shield of the IM11. For proper placement, refer to the illustration of the page 14 For optimal thermal performance, connect the top shield of the module to a metal surface with good air flow or access to the lower temperature case exterior. To connect these surfaces, use a low thermal resistance material, such as themal grease or a thermally-

conductive spacer. Electrical Integration The module communicates either over USB or through serial:

The USB client communication follows the CDC profile (a Microsoft standard driver) and is USB 2.0-compliant, operating at 12 Mbps (full speed). For more information, see Open a USB Connection on page 32. In Serial mode, the module communicates as a standard PC COM port, operating at 115.2 Kbps. It has eight general purpose inputs and outputs for monitoring and controlling external signals. For more information, see Open a Serial Connection on page 31. A Digital Signal Processor (DSP) controls the radio functions and provides communication with the host. This interface allows direct reprogramming and updating of the on-board FLASH memory. It has 64 MB of DDR and 4 MB of SPI FLASH available. Power Requirements The module operates off power input from 3.15 VDC to 5.2 VDC. If the input is 3.3 V DC or less, you must account for significant increased current demand. If the input drops below 3.15 VDC, 1 Watt output is not possible. IM11 RFID Reader Module Integration Guide (Confidential) 17 The module handles its own power management and goes into Standby mode automatically when there are no outstanding commands. However, even in Standby mode, the IM11 immediately responds to host activity, eliminating any potential host timeout conditions. To achieve an even lower power Standby mode, the host needs to support USB suspend and remote wakeup. To reduce power, the module duty cycles its transmitter. The duty cycling happens according to the read commands that the application executes. To achieve the lowest power, after all tags are read, the transmitter turns off. After a period of time, the transmitter activates to identify new tags in the field. After all new tags are read, the transmitter turns off for the rest of the period. Also, the module automatically reduces the power out if the input voltage is too low or the temperature of the module is too high. For more information about low power read commands, see the Basic Reader Interface Programmer Reference Manual. Reader Power States There are four different power states for the RFID module. Reader Power States and Levels of Consumption Power State Off Deep Sleep Idle Read Level of Consumption 0 (3.3 V turned off to the module) 3.3 V on RF enable = Off

< 1 mA Real Time Clock (RTC) = On (< 100 A to power RTC)*

Enable (Pin 20) is low 3.3 V on RF enable = On No USB activity About 35 mA Enable (Pin 20) is high Max current during tag read about 1.5 A 18 IM11 RFID Reader Module Integration Guide (Confidential)

* You cannot turn off the RTC unless you remove power Pin 2

(VBATT) on the mini-PCI connector. Transition Times Between Reader Power States Transition Time Transition State 100 ms Off to Deep Sleep Deep Sleep to Tag Read < 6 ms*

Idle to Tag Read Time for USB device to respond to USB wakeup is about 10 ms. Time for serial to respond is about 100 ms for a 10 byte command will take 100 ms at 115.2 kbps.

* < 6 ms required to load the software to load the module. After loading the software, the module stays idle (~110 mW) until a read is requested. When a read is finished, the unit returns to idle. Duty cycling is employed to quiet tags that have already been read and to ensure the host system transmitter does not stay on all the time. Reader Power Draw This section explains the power draw of the IM11 under various operating conditions. These are the four tests that were conducted:

Test A: READ REPORT=EVENT: This test uses default values and starts a continuous read. It takes advantage of the duty cycle to save power, and resets the tags after every inventory round so the tags keep responding. Test B: ATTRIB UNSELTRIES=0, READ REPORT=EVENT:

This test uses the default values of the reader except for UNSELTRIES. The continues read takes advantage of the duty cycle to save power. Setting UNSELTRIES=0 prevents the reader from resetting the tags. After the initial inventory round, the tags remain quiet until session 2 persistence wears off. This is the recommended configuration for reading large tag populations in continuous mode. IM11 RFID Reader Module Integration Guide (Confidential) 19 Test C: Repeated READ: This test uses the default values of the reader and repeatedly issues a single READ command, and does not allow the reader to duty cycle the radio. The tags are reset at the beginning of every inventory round so they can respond to every read command. Test D: ATTRIB UNSELTRIES=0, Repeated READ: This test is the same as Test C, but UNSELTRIES is set to 0. The tags respond the first time and then only responds when their persistences wears off.

Input Typical I/O Circuits Transmit Power The module is able to adjust transmit power from 29.5 dBm to 10.5 dBm, configurable in 1 dBm steps with an accuracy (the measure of the power output for each level) of +/-0.5 dBm. The initial tolerance

(the measure of the power output for each level) is +/-0.5 dBm. The output power is set on each of the antennas. Output power tolerance from the nominal setting is +/- 0.75 dBm over an ambient temperature range of -20 C to 60 C. The module supports PR-ASK modulation for EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tags only. 26 IM11 RFID Reader Module Integration Guide (Confidential) RF Integration The module supports two antenna connections. You can use software to control the selection of either connection. The module switches from one antenna to the other in 5 ms or less. The switching time is defined from the 90% power point as the RF is turned off at the first port to the 90% power point as the RF is turned on at the second port. The module uses an integrated RFID transceiver. It features autotuning on the antenna ports to match the antenna return loss dynamically. The system compensates for antennas with a VSWR of 2.0 or lower (a VSWR of <1.7 is optimum). There are no termination requirements for the antenna ports. The module will not transmit to any open antenna ports. Software Integration In Serial mode, the module appears as a standard PC COM port. It has eight general purpose inputs and outputs. You can use a communications program, such as HyperTerminal, to communicate with the module using the Basic Reader Interface (BRI).
