Introduction This document provides information about the S6500 Long Range Reader Module. It describes the reader and how to install it. 1.2 System Description The HF Reader System Series 6000 works at a frequency of 13.56 MHz. It comprises a reader, antenna and transponder (for example: smart label) and is used for wire-

less identification of a variety of objects. The system works according the reader talks first principle which means that the transponder keeps quiet until the reader sends a request to it. The reader can rapidly and simultaneously identify numerous transponders in the antennas field. It can write data to and read data from the transponders; either in addressed mode by using the factory programmed read only number, or in general mode to all of the transpond-

ers in its field. The read/write capability of the transponder allows users to update the data stored in the transponders memory anywhere along its movements. 1.3 Product Description The S6500 Long Range Reader Module handles all RF and digital functions required in order to communicate with Tag-it HF, Tag-it HF-I (ISO 15693 compliant) and all other ISO 15693 compliant transponder from various suppliers. The Reader Module is mounted onto a rigid, 6 mm thick aluminium base plate. The module has two digital inputs, two digital outputs, a relay output and an asynchro-

nous interface which can be configured as RS232 or RS485. The configurability of the interfaces also allows the module to be operated on an RS485 data bus. The address can be assigned either through software or hardware

In order to set the bus address using S2, the reader must be set to software address 0" (default factory setting). 16 S6500 Long Range Reader Module - Reference Guide May 01 3.1 Introduction Note:

Always ensure that the reader is switched off when making or break-

ing connections to it. 3.2 General The S6500 Reader Module has been designed with easy installation in mind. The fol-

lowing information provides you with any details that you will need to know. 3.2.1 Default Configuration The S6500 Reader is delivered with the default configuration as follows:

- Communication Interface:

38400 Baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, even parity Only TX/RX Antenna active active

- Antenna Connection:

- Anticollision procedure:

- Supported Transponder Types: Tag-it HF, Tag-it HF-I (and other ISO 15693 compliant transponders) Note:

If you are only using one transponder Type in the application, the reaction time of the reader for transponder read/write operations can be optimized as long as only one transponder driver (not both of them) is activated. However, if your system requires that you use the reader with a different configura-

tion, you can use the S6 Reader Utility program which is available at our internet site http://www.ti-rfid.com (S/W Tools & Download) to re-configure the reader to your sys-

tems requirements. 3.3 Mechanical Mounting Mounting is accomplished using the 4.5 mm diameter holes located in each corner of the base plate (see Figure 3). If the antenna is properly tuned and there is sufficient air convection along the mounting plate, the reader can be operated without an ad-

ditional heat sink at up to 4 W of RF power. If you are going to operate the reader module above 4 W (to fully exploit the readers performance) it must be mounted on an additional heat sink. The heat sink should have a thermal resistance RThK of maximum 0.8 K/W. When attaching the Reader Module to the heat sink you should strive for as little heat transfer resistance between the base plate and the heat sink as possible. We recommend that you use a heat sink compound. 18 May 01 Chapter 3. Installation Note:

Detuning of the antenna can result in additional heat being generated in the reader. If this happens the reader regulates its output power down until the final stage is once again within its upper temperature limit. Figure 3: Reader Mounting Holes 120 mm 110 mm 100 mm m m 5

1. Reversing the power supply wires may destroy the device. 2. If you are using a switched power supply you must ensure that the switching frequency is below 300 kHz. Figure 4: Supply Voltage Connector X3

+24 V DC GND

X3 1 2 X1 Notes:

1. In order to conform to national requirements for radio devices, the power supply line must incorporate one of the 28 mm x 20 mm ring cores mentioned in section 1.5. The cable must be wound around the core at least eight times (as shown in Figure 11). The distance between the ring core and the reader connection must not be more than 10 cm. In order to avoid interference, the length of the cable between the power supply and the reader must not exceed 3 m. 2. 3.4.2 Antenna Connectors (X1 & X2) The transmit/receive antenna must be connected to the reader via the antenna SMA socket (X2). The maximum tightening torque for the SMA socket is 0.45 Nm. If you are using a receive only antenna (together with the read write antenna) it must be connected to the reader via the antenna SMA socket (X1). The maximum tighten-

ing torque for the SMA socket is 0.45 Nm. Notes:

1. In order to conform to national requirements for radio devices, each antenna line must incorporate one of the 28 mm x 20 mm ring cores mentioned in section 1.5. The cable must be wound around the core at least four times (as shown in Figure 5). The distance between the ring core and the reader connection must not be more than 10 cm. 2. When connecting an antenna, ensure that it does not exceed the permissible limits as prescribed by the national regulations for radio frequency devices. 20 May 01 Chapter 3. Installation Figure 5: Antenna Line on a Ring Core 3.4.3 Isolated Optocouplers Input Connector The input LED's on the optocouplers have an internal input series resistor of 500 . For supply voltages above 10V the input current must be limited to a maximum of 20 mA by an additional external dropping resistor (see Figure 6 and Table 16). CAUTION:

Reversing the polarity or overloading the inputs will destroy the reader. Notes:

1. If the connecting cable is longer than 3 m you must use a shielded cable. 2. You must NOT use the readers supply voltage to drive these inputs as the added noise may reduce the effective reading range.

3.6 Setting Bus Addresses If you are going to use the reader connected to a bus you will have to give each read-

er an individual address. You can do that either by setting switch S2 on the reader or by software from the controlling computer. 3.6.1 Using S2 to Set the Address You can use switch S2 to set the reader address between 0" and 7". To set the bus address using S2, the Reader must be set to software address 0"

(factory setting). Address 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 S2-1 OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON ON S2-2 OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON ON S2-3 OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON Note:

When you are using the reader modules in a multi-drop configuration you must power the readers up one-by-one, giving each reader its unique address before progressing to the next reader. 3.6.2 Setting the Readers Bus Address through Software Addresses 0 to 253 can be set by the host computer software, using the S6 Reader Utility program. 25 CHAPTER 4 Technical Data Chapter 4:Technical Data This chapter provides the technical specifications of the S6500 Reader Module.
