cation. This ID system is the most suitable for process control of high-speed line and traffic control of moving object in a plant and an application that information must be updated frequently in a process. Model V670-CD1D Model V670-D13F03 Model V670-H11 Model V670-CD1D (ID controller, referred to as "Controller") Model V670-CD1D connects to a personal computer (referred to as "PC") and/or programmable controller (PLC) and controls the RF-ID system. Model V670-CD1D has a general-purpose I/O terminal and a function to judge and process independently (Self-Execution mode) and, therefore, a very fast system can be configured for simple process only without any host device. Model V670-H11 (Antenna) Model V670-H11 is a waterproof antenna (standard antenna) with dimensions of 4 x 5.3 cm. Model V670-H11 can achieve the communication area of 20 mm in combination with model V670-D13F03. Model V670-H11 has a very fast communication performance and can transfer 12 bytes of data in approximately 5 ms. Type V670-D13F03 (ID tag, referred to as "Tag") Type V670-D13F03 is a waterproof tag which has 128 bytes of memory capacity with dimensions of 40 x 40 mm. Model V670-

D13F03 uses high-performance nonvolatile memory called Ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM) as internal memory. So, memory life is semi-permanent. (The memory can be accessed one billion times.) Easy to use By connecting the programming console model C200H-PRO27 (unbundled, referred to as "ProCon") to the Controller via the special cable model V700-P10 (unbundled), the system operation status and error log information can be read. This is useful for system star-

tup and maintenance at a working site. Ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM) Ferroelectric RAM is one of nonvolatile RAMs and data can be written into and read from it faster than conventional memory (such as EEPROM and flash ROM). Data can be written into the ferroelectric RAM semi-permanently. While any conventional RAM cannot hold data if nothing is written into it for a specified period (approximately 10 years), the ferro-

electric RAM can hold data if anything is written into or read from it. So, the characteristic of ferroelectric RAM is very excellent in data-holding performance. 1-1 1-2 System Configuration Example of Model V670-CD1D system configuration Model V670-CD1D contains a serial interface based on RS-232C and can connect easily to a general-purpose PC and programmable controller (PLC). Model V670-CD1D has a command execution mode and self-execution mode as an operation mode and controls the communication to a tag according to the instructions from a host device (in the command execution mode) or the registered con-

ditions (in the self-execution mode).

Therefore, to minimize the communication time, specify the address and the number of bytes suitably so that the address for writing can be a multiple of 4. Example: If 4 bytes of data is written from the address 0001h, change the address to 0000h. If you cannot change as stated above due to the structure of change system, add the following time to the communication time.

TAT = command transfer time + communication time + response transmission time Transmission time =

Bits per character (bit) Baud rate (bps) x number of characters (second)

* The number of bits per character and baud rate vary depending on the communication conditions (baud rate, data length, parity and stop bit). Assuming that the number of characters of command is A, the number of characters of response is B, the baud rate is 9000 bps, data length is 7 bits, parity is even and stop bit is 2 bits, the following formula can be obtained:

TAT =

11 x (A + B) 9600

+ communication time (second) The formula above calculates the time when processing (transmission of command) starts if the ID tag is within an area of communication with an antenna. The time varies depending on a communication mode and ID tag status.

(Unit: mm) 3-17 Chapter 4 Functions 4-1 Communication Designation Function Depending on an operation sequence, you can specify various communications through the communication command for communica-

tion with a tag. The following seven communication designations are available. Code ST SA SI RA RI PA PI Name Description Single command Trigger When the command is received, the communication with the tag is executed and Single Auto command Single Input trigger Repeat Auto command Repeat Input trigger Poling Auto command Poling Input trigger the response is returned. After the command is received, the communication is executed when a tag has been detected in a communication area and the response is returned. After the command is received, the communication with the tag is executed at the leading edge timing of external input (TRG) and the response is returned.

"SA" designation is repeated. The communication with the same tag, which exists continuously, is executed only one time.

"SI" designation is repeated.

"SA" designation is executed and the response is returned by the polling query

(PC) command.

"SI" designation is executed and the response is returned by the polling query

(PC) command. Those seven communication designations are classified into three groups; a command trigger system which starts the communication by sending a command, auto system which detects a tag automatically and executes the communication, and input trigger system which start the communication by external input. According to this classification, the operation of every communication designation is described below. 4-1-1 Designation of Command Trigger System Communication (ST) In the command trigger system communication designation, the communication with a tag is executed by sending a command and the controller command processing is ended by terminating the communication. If the tag is not in the communication area when the com-

mand is sent, an error (error code: 72) is returned to indicate that there is no tag in the communication area. Therefore, you must check the tag in the communication area with a sensor etc. and return a command. Tag The communication with tag in the communication area is executed when a command from a host is received. So, if the tag is not in the communica-

tion area, the response is returned to indicate that there is no tag in the com-

munication area. Antenna ST designation:

End of process 4-1 4-1 Communication Designation Function 4-1-2 Designation of Automatic System Communication (SA/RA/PA) In the auto system communication designation, a tag is detected automatically. So, unlike the command trigger system, you do not need to check the tag. When the tag enters the communica-

tion area, the communication starts. Tag Antenna SA designation:

For the single designation (SA), the controller command processing is ended by terminating the communication. Host Controller SA mode command Host Controller Controller Tag

(Tag action) Communication Tag Response End of process RA designation:

For the repeat designation (RA), the system waits until the next tag has come even after the communication is terminated. If the tag once executes the communication, the tag does not execute the communication until it has moved out of the communication area. Repeat processing is ended by a command process abort command (AA). Host Controller RA mode command Host Controller Controller Tag

In the PA designation, similarly with RA, processing is repeated until the processing is terminated by a command process abort com-

mand (AA). However, no response is made after the communication with one tag is ended. Response is returned by a polling query

(PC) command instead. Use this designation when several controllers are connected to a host device through RS-485, etc. (Commercial 232C/485 converter is required.) Host Controller PA designation command PC command PC command Response

(Tag action) 4-2 4-1 Communication Designation Function 4-1-3 Designation of External Trigger System Communication (SI/RI/PI) In the external trigger system communication designation, the communication is started at a leading edge of an external input signal. The communication is directly controlled by output of a sensor which detects a tag in the communication area. So, the communication can be executed even in a fast line without fail. To the external input of ID controller The system waits for a leading edge of an input signal when a command has been issued by a host. (An sensor is one of examples.) The communication is exe-

cuted to the tag in the communication area at the leading edge of the input sig-

nal. If the tag is not in the communication area, an error occurs to indicate that there is no tag in the communication area. Tag Antenna SI designation:

In the single designation (SI), the controller command processing is ended by terminating the communication. Host Controller SI mode command

* Responds whether there is a tag or not. Host Controller Controller Tag External input Response*

End of process Communication Waiting for input RI designation:

In the repeat designation (RI), the system waits for a leading edge of the next input signal even after the communication is ended. The communication is executed to the tag whenever the leading edge of input signal is detected. Repeat processing is ended by a command process abort command (AA).

However, no response is made after the communication with one tag is ended. Response is returned by a polling query

(Result of communication) Communication Waiting for input To use the communication designation of SI, RI and PI, turn ON (trigger input) the dip switch 3-1. Correct Usage 4-4 4-2 Tag Designation Function When reading data or writing fixed data, you can use "Repeat Auto" designation or "Repeat Trigger" designation. However, if you write different data per tag or if you use several commands (e.g., read judge write), you cannot use this function. To enable this process, you can use the Tag Designation function. By using this function, regardless of timing, you can only send the commands consecutively to communication with an objective tag without fail. Moreover, a sensor for tag detection is not required. So, the system configuration can be simplified. Code sa When a tag enters the communication area, the communication to the tag is executed. The communication is made to any tag other than the tag to which the communication has been executed immediately before. If the same tag exists continuously, the system waits until any other tag enters the communication area. When a command has been received, the communication is executed to the tag in the communication area. The communi-

cation is made to any tag other than the tag to which the communication has been executed immediately before. Even if any different tag is in the communication area, an error occurs to indicate that there is no tag in the communication area. Description st

Through the dip switch 3-2, you can specify one mode of them to be started at the power ON. Also, you can change the mode by a mode change command (MO) from a host device. Power ON Command Execution mode Mode change command (MO) Self-Execution mode

(1)Command Execution mode The communication is executed by an instruction (command) from a host device. In this mode, you can use all the command. All, you can read/control the external I/O terminals (IN, OUT1 and OUT2) by a command from a host device.

(2)Self-Execution mode The communication to a tag is executed automatically according to the operating conditions registered in the controller, the commu-

nication result can be judged (judgment conditions), and the self-completion operation, to which is output to the two external outputs

(OUT1 and OUT2) or to the RS-232C port (result output), can be performed. The ID system does not need to be controlled from a host device. So, a simplified system can be built up very quickly. The following operating conditions can be registered. Item Execution process Judgment condi-

tions Result output Description A communication command only can be used. An available communication mode is RA or RI only. One of the conditions below can be specified per output. 1) Judges the communication result and generates output. 2) Compares response data and set data with each other and generates output. When a preset judgment condition has been met, the three outputs below can be specified. The judgment condition can be specified per output. 1) Outputs to OUT1. Output time can be specified. 2) Outputs to OUT2. Output time can be specified. 3) Responds to RS-232C. The preset operating conditions are stored in nonvolatile memory in the controller. So, you do not need to set them at every power on. 4-6 4-3 Operation Mode

Usually, you may use the default values. However, this setting allows you to optimize your system. Those parameters are stored in non-

volatile memory in the controller. So, the parameters are not erased even if the power supply turns off. 4-4-1 Communication Restriction Time In the communication to a tag, if a response cannot be made correctly due to any trouble at the communication after tag detection,

"Retry" is executed to send the same command again. By specifying the communication restriction time, retry is repeated until the specified time has passed after the command process starts. Controller Tag Send Send Retry Send Retry Controller Tag Host Controller External input Communication restriction time Response Error 72 In the external trigger system command, command process starts when the command process starts. In the auto system command, com-

* If the default value is set, "retry" is repeated 9 times. 4-4-2 Character Interval Monitoring Time In the controller, a command is recognized by receiving a termination code of command string sent from a host device. However, if the entire command string cannot be received completely due to any trouble, receiving is monitored for a specified time after the last char-

acter is received. Then, a format error (14) is returned. Host Controller Host Controller External input If there is no data any more Termination code Character interval monitoring time Response Error 14 Setting Range 0 to 9999 ms.

* The default value is 100 ms. 4-8 4-4 Operation Parameter Setting 4-4-3 Response Ready Time When several controllers are connected to a host device through RS-485 etc. (commercial 232C/485 converter is required), RS-485 switches into receiving after data string is sent. Switching time varies depending on a converter. So, if a response from the controller is fast, the communication cannot be executed correctly. By specifying the Response Ready time, the response start time can be changed.

* Actual time from the transmission of command to the start of response is internal process time (a minimum time is 0 ms) of the con-

troller + Response Ready time (specified time). Host Controller Command Host Controller External input Internal process time Response Ready time Response Setting Range 0 to 9999 ms.

* The default value is 0 ms. For how to use the operation parameter setting (SP) command, refer to the description of "5-8-6 Parameter Setting

(SP)". Correct Usage 4-9 4-5 Memory Check Function By adding a check code to a data in a tag, you can detect a data error arisen from memory rewrite life or unintentional factor. A CRC code of generating polynomial X16 + X12 + X5 + 1 is used as the check code. For memory check, a memory check command (MC) to write a check code and a memory calculation command (MK) to verify the check code are used. In a check block specified by the first address and the number of bytes, an area excluding the last 2 bytes of the block is a target area to be calculated and the last 2 bytes are a check code area. Address When a command to write the check code is sent, the CRC code of data in the target area for calculation is calculated and it is written into the check code area. When a data verification command is sent, the CRC code of data in the target area for calculation is cal-

culated and it is compared with data of the check code area. If those data match, "0" is returned. This shows that the data is cor-

rect in a response status flag. If those data do not match, "1" is returned as warning. First address in this area Target area for check code calculation

(Number of check block bytes: 2)

(High order digit)

(Low order digit) Check code area (2 bytes)

<How to use>

Calculate/write the check code with the memory check command (MC) after writing a data and verify the check code with the memory calculation command (MK) before reading it. Beforehand, you can detect data corruption in the tag which is not accessed. Writing stage Data writing Check code calculation Reading stage Check code verification Data reading 4-10 4-6 Write Protect Function The Write Protect Function prevents a fixed data, such as pallet information or product information stored in memory in a tag, being erased by careless writing. By setting protect information in the tag, Write Protect can be enabled in any area (a maximum of two areas) of a specified address. If you try to write anything into a write-protected page, a Protect error occurs. The protect area information is set by using a part (address $0000 to 0003) of user data area. To enable the Write Protect, write the protect area information into a specified address and specify "Protect Setting" with process desig-

nation parameter using a tag function setting command (TF). Similarly, to disable the Write Protect, specify "Disable" with the process designation parameter.

Host Device Communication Controller Antenna Tag

(1) Command

(3) Response

(2) Communication between the antenna and tag Controller operation status Waiting for command This refers to the status that the controller does not execute any command process. Then, the controller can accept all the commands except the subcommands etc. When the controller has accepted any command, the controller enters the command processing status. Command processing When the command has been accepted, the next command is ignored until the process of such accepted command is completed. How-

ever, a command process termination command and reset command can be accepted always. 5-1 5-2 Command Response Format For the format of command and response communicated between a host device and controller, there are 1:1 protocol used usually and 1:N protocol used to connect several controllers and the configuration is described below. The protocol is specified through the dip switch (SW3-4) of the controller.

(3) Data code designation You can specify in a command a code to be used to transmit a data to be read or written between a host device and ID controller. ASCII code designation and hexadecimal code designation are available. ASCII code (JIS8 unit code) designation "A"

1 Byte of data in a tag is transmitted directly as ASCII code or JIS8 unit code. Transmitted one character is equivalent to 1 byte of data in a tag. Character data can be read/written directly. However, do not use any control code [SOH] nor [CR] in a data to be transmitted. If [SOH] or [CR] is specified in a written data, a command error occurs.

<Example of writing>

If you specify "OMRON" as a written data in 5 bytes of memory beginning with the address 10h, the data is written in memory in a tag as shown in this figure.

(1) No response When the controller receives a reset command, the controller does not send any response, performs resetting and waits for a command. Host Device Reset Command Controller Execution of Resetting

(2) Single response When single trigger (ST/st), single auto (SA/sa), single input trigger (SI), polling auto (PA/pa) or polling input trigger (PI) is specified by a command to communicate with the tag, or when a command not for the communication with the tag (communication subcommand, controller control command or host command) is specified, one response is returned to one command. Host Device Command Controller Response

(3) Several responses When repeat auto (RA) or repeat input trigger (RI) is specified by a command to communicate with the tag, several responses are sent to one command. Host Device Command Controller Response Response Response Response 5-6 5-4 Command List The commands are classified mainly into four categories.

(1) Communication command Command to communicate with a tag.

(2) Communication subcommand Subcommand used to inquire the execution result or abort the execution when polling auto command is used.

(3) Controller control command Command used to terminate the communication with the tag or reset the controller.

(4) Host command Command used for a communication test between the controller and host device.

Communication designation code ST st SA sa SI RA RI PA pa PI Name Single trigger Tag-specified single trig-

ger Single auto Tag-specified single auto Single input trigger Repeat auto Repeat input trigger Polling auto Tag-specified polling auto Polling input trigger Description When a command has been received, the communication with a tag is executed and the response is returned. The communication with the tag to which the last communication was executed and the response is returned. This operation is the same as the single trigger (ST). After the command is received, the communication is executed when a tag has been detected in a communication area and the response is returned. The communication with any tag other than the tag to which the last communication was executed and the response is returned. This operation is the same as the single auto (SA). After the command is received, the communication with the tag is exe-

cuted at the leading edge timing of external input (TRG) and the response is returned.

"SA" designation is repeated. The communication with the same tag, which exists continuously, is executed only once. Processing is termi-

nated by an abort command.

"SI" designation is repeated. Processing is terminated by an abort command.

"SA" designation is executed and the response is returned by a query

(polling). Acceptance response is made when a command has been received. The communication with any tag other than the tag to which the last communication was executed and the response is returned. This operation is the same as the palling auto (PA).

"SI" designation is executed and the response is returned by a query

(polling). Acceptance response is made when a command has been received. For details of communication designation, refer to "4-1 Communication Designation Function". Correct Usage 5-8 5-6 Communication Command Communication commands to communicate with a tag are described here in this section. The commands are described assuming that 1:1 protocol is used. If 1:N protocol is used, follow the 1:N protocol format. (For details of protocol format, refer to "5-2 Command Response Format".)

put condition, etc.) registered in the controller, the communication and peripheral devices can be controlled without control from a host device. In the Self-Execution mode, the following conditions can be specified. Item Execution com-

mand Communication mode Output Number of judg-

ments Judgment condi-

tions Condition Communication command. RA, RI. Signal output: OUT1/2. Data output: RS-232C. Two judgments per output. Remarks For the communication command, refer to "5-4 Command List". Continuous operation is required in the Self-Execution mode. So, a repeat system command only can be specified. In the signal output, output time can be specified. Data output is a response of execution command. One judgment also can be specified. Judgment in communication result Comparison of data of response

(matched, unmatched, large or small). For data comparison, an area to be compared can be speci-

fied. (1 to 4 bytes)

* For a format and any other details, refer to "5-8-5 Operation Condition Setting (SE)". 6-1 6-2 Setting Procedure Procedure to use the Self-Execution mode is described below.

(1) Connect a host interface, power supply and antenna (Model V670-H11).

(2) Turn on the power supply.

(3) Check a host communication with a test command.

(4) Register an operating condition with the SE (Operation Condition Setting) command.

(5) Enter the Self-Execution mode through the dip switch (turn ON SW 3-2) or with the MO (Operation Mode Change) command. If you enters the Self-Execution mode through the dip switch, turn OFF the power supply once, turn on the power supply again and check the operation.

-- Then, the antenna starts communicating. --

(6) Check an operation by using an applicable tag to check the operating condition. Here, you can use the Self-Execution mode. If you want to cancel the Self-Execution mode due to any reason, use the MO (Operation Mode Change) command. 6-2 6-3 Example of Setting An example of setting to execute the following items is described.

Check the communication between a host device and ID controller with a test command. Trial operation of system. Check a total system operation with an actual command. End. Off-line test with a programming console. By using the programming console, you can test the communication between an antenna and tag without connection to a host device. Use this off-line test to check the installation position and movement speed before the trial operation. For how to operate, refer to

"Chapter 7 How to Use Programming Console". Communication test to a host device You can test the communication between the controller and host device with a test command. Before performing a trial operation of the entire system, you can check the cable connection and communication process. Create a simple communication program and let the host device send a test command. If the communication system is correct, the controller returns received data. 8-1 8-2 Diagnosis Function The controller diagnoses many items to shorten the system down time preparing for error. When an error occurs, depending on a type of error, you may read out the details of error through the programming console. Details of error Errors detected by the controller are classified into the two types of errors. One terminates an operation and the other does not terminate any operation. Error which terminates an operation When a hardware error has occurred in the controller, the CPU operation is terminated and NORM/ERR (red) turns on. Error which does not terminate an operation When an error in the communication between the controller and host device (host communication error) or between the antenna and tag

(communication error), the ERR LED turns on. A maximum of 30 errors are stored in memory. When 30 errors are stored in memory, if an error occurs, the oldest error is deleted from memory and the new one is stored. By using the programming console, you can read out the details of those errors and, moreover, the total number of occurrences per error.

When the EN standards come into effect, they will apply as the unified European standards in place of the conventional safety standards. EN standards are based on IEC standards. Therefore, machines that are exported to Europe from Asia or North America must satisfy EN standards. Otherwise, the machines must satisfy IEC standards if the machines do not fall under EN standards. The CE marking is provided by EC Directives. A product bearing a CE marking meets the safety standards specified by all relevant EC Directives. If the product is a machine, it must satisfy the EC Machinery Directive, Low-voltage Directive (LVD), and EMC requirements of the EC Directives. The product must satisfy the EMC and LVD requirements of the EC Directives, if the product is a home electronics appliance or office machine. Machines bearing CE markings can be freely exported to European countries. In other words, a CE marking is the passport for export to Europe. EC Directives are provided for the purpose of European unification. Approximately 300 EC Directives have been passed. EC Directives for machines are called Machine Directives. According to the Machine Directives (EC Directive Document number 89/392/EEC), machines exported to Europe on and after January 1, 1995 must bear CE markings. EMC standards are for electro-magnetic compatibility. A machine must satisfy the EMC requirements of EC directives by taking countermeasures against EMI (electro-magnetic interference) and EMC (electro-magnetic susceptibility).
