2-2 Specifications 2-2-5 Host Communications Specifications The RS-232C interfaces for COM1 and COM2 have separate communication ports, and thus it is possible for these interfaces to have different communication settings. COM1 can be communicated via RS-232C or RS485 interfaces. RS-232C for COM2 is primarily used for Reader/Writer setup, whereas RS-485 pin at COM2 is used for multi-drop connection to other Reader/Writer devices.
●This product incorporates the firmware, which can access the 4-byte/page chip that conforms to ISO/IEC 15693. However, the operation is guaranteed for OMRON Tags that use the Philips Semiconductor IC, SL2ICS20 (commonly called I.CODE SLI) only. The Tags by other manufactures, or those with other ISO/IEC15693 Chips should be thoroughly tested by each user.

3-1 Operating Mode 3-1-1 Chip Operating Mode This Reader/Writer has two Chip-Operating Modes for different types of Tags (and its IC Chips.) You have to set either of the Chip Operating Modes in accordance with the Tag you choose. The functions or command types/formats vary, depending on the Chip Operating Mode.
3-2 Communication Modes This Reader/Writer has five communication modes to be selected by each command corresponding to the number and/or state of Tags in the communication area. Each mode is activated by specifying the communication in the command data. 3-2-1 Single Access Single Access is used to read data from or write data on the only Tag that exists in the Antenna Communication Area.
3-2 Communication Modes 3-2-3 Multiple Access Multiple Access is used to read data from or write data on the Multiple Tags in the Antenna Communication area simultaneously. Communications with Multiple Tags in the communications area is available. (This function is also called 1:N Access or Multiple Tag Simultaneous Access).
3-2 Communication Modes 3-2-5 Fast Read Access: I.CODE1 Mode Only The Fast Read Access speeds up the data readout in I.CODE1 Mode. The execution timing can be selected from Trigger, which executes immediately, Auto, which waits for the Tag to enter the communication area and executes, or Repeat, which repeats the execution for the Tag in the communication area.
Memory Check Function I.CODE1 Mode Only By adding a check code to the data in the Tag, you can detect data errors due to the Tag memory (EEPROM) being overwritten, service life, and unforeseen factors. The check code uses the CRC code of the generating polynomial X + 1.
3-4 Lock Function The Lock function protects data from being erased due to unintentional overwriting on the fixed data in the Tags. ■ Lock setting in ISO mode For the lock setting in ISO mode, you can write-protect any given areas by the page of Tag memory.
3-5 Discriminating Access to Tag Function The ID codes set in the Tags are utilized in identifying the target chips in the antenna’s application fields. Responses are returned only when the ID code in the command from the antenna and the ID code on the Tag are matched.
External I/O Function The I/O connector has three external input ports and four external output ports to which such devices as sensors or actuators are connected to build a more efficient system. The external output may be dedicated to the antenna control, depending on the Reader/Writer settings.
3-7 EAS Function The Reader/Writer supports the EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) system applied for anti-theft and other devices. The Reader/Writer identifies the unique data string returned by the EAS-bit enabled Tags and detects the existence of the Tags in the communication area. Multiple EAS-bit enabled Tags that exist simultaneously can also be detected.
3-8 Duplicate Communication Protecting Function The Duplicate Communication Protecting Function prevents the command that processes multiple Tags serially from performing multiple Read/Write processing for each Tag. This function controls the command so that it performs the processing only once per Tag and returns a single response, even in situations where a Tag is recognized more than once as shown below.
Operation of Reader/Writer The V720-series RFID system has two operation modes: Offline Mode and Online Mode. The functions and control methods by the host vary, depending on the Operation Mode. One of the two modes must be selected at system setup. 4-1-1 Offline Mode In the Offline Mode, the EAS-enabled Tags (the EAS function mounted on the Tags is not disabled) are always detected (1).
4-1 Operation of Reader/Writer 4-1-2 Online Mode Communication with Tags (2) is performed according to the command (1) from the connected host. The result is returned to the host as a response (3). The I/O can be read or controlled using commands.

SECTION 4-6 1 and I/O lines connected Are the terminal screws properly tightened? Antenna connection Is the Antenna connected properly? 2...
Reader/Writer Setting The Reader/Writer has been designed for the user to make all the settings by issuing commands from the host. The user can use either the COM1 or COM2 port to make settings. However, we recommend use of the COM2 port because its communications settings have been fixed at factory to survive a power reset.
4-3 Reader/Writer Setting 1) Communications type setting for COM1 port Set whether COM1 will be used as RS-232C or RS-485 by using the communications type setting command (CT) Setting name Default set value Setting range (command name) Communications RS-232C type setting *1 RS-232C RS-485 (CT command)
4-3 Reader/Writer Setting 4-3-3 Command Processing Procedure Setting 1)UID/SNR Addition Setting For the Read command response in I.CODE1 Mode or the Read/Write command response in ISO Mode, whether to add the UID/SNR (a serial number which is a unique ID given to a Tag) must be selected. When enabled, this command makes association of data contained in a Tag to the serial number of that Tag considerably easier.
4-3 Reader/Writer Setting 4-3-4 Antena and Tag Communications Setting Set how communications should take place between the Reader/Writer and a Tag. 1) Reader/Writer-Tag communications speed setting Set the speed of communications between the Reader/Writer and a Tag (baud rate from the Reader/Writer to a Tag).

5-1 Control by Commands 5-1-1 Control by Commands The Reader/Writer operation is controlled by the commands from the connected host. The result of the command execution is returned as a response. In Online Mode, all the operations, such as Tag-data Reading/Writing, Tag-function setting, operating condition setting, or Reader/Writer function control, are controlled by the commands.
5-1 Control by Commands 5-1-3 ACK/NACK Control When using ACK/NACK control, if the host does not receive a normal response, the Reader/Writer will resend the response by either (1) when the host sends a NACK command to the Reader/Writer or (2) when there is no response within a set period of time.
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication The operating sequences including the communication with the Tag or timing for returning the response vary, depending on the communication mode. The communication mode is set by specifying the communication mode in the command data. The access and mode specified as the communication settings must be those specifiable for each Tag status in the specified antenna’s communication area or the connection topology with the host.
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication 5-2-1-3 Single Repeat Mode: ISO Mode The Reader/Writer waits for a Tag to enter the R/W Antenna’s communications area. Every time a Tag enters the communications area, the Reader/Writer communicates with the Tag and returns a response.
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication 5-2-1-4 Polling Auto Read If an Auto command is used when a single host controls more than one Reader/Writer, the communications path between the host and one of the Reader/Writers to which the command is sent becomes busy, disabling the host to control other Reader/Writers.
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication 5-2-2 FIFO Access In FIFO (first-in, first-out) access, communications with Tags entering the communications area one after another are carried out in sequence. Once communications with Tags are completed, access to them is prohibited. Consequently, even if Tags with which communications are already completed exist in the communications area, a newly entering Tag can be accessed.
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication 5-2-2-2 FIFO Auto Mode The Reader/Writer waits until the Tag has entered the antenna communication area and executes the command it received from the host. The Reader/Writer prohibits access to the Tag after the communication has been completed, and keeps the antenna oscillated to maintain the FIFO access.
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication 5-2-2-3 FIFO Repeat Mode The Reader/Writer waits until the Tag has entered the antenna communication area and starts communicating. It communicates with the Tags serially as they enter the antenna communication area, and returns the responses. When the communication has been completed, the Reader/Writer makes the Tag inaccessible, so that it can communicate with the next Tag that entered the area although the Tags with which the Reader/Writer has completed the communication are still present in the same area.
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication 5-2-3 Multiple Access In Multiple Access, the Reader/Writer can communicate with all of the multiple Tags present in the antenna communication area. In I.CODE1 Mode, the Tag code corresponding to the number of Tags present in the communication area must be specified. For the Tag number specifications, refer to SECTION 5-2-5.
Page 73
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication In Write Command (WT) with UID/SNR addition setting disabled (in I.CODE1 Mode, the command with UID/SNR addition setting eabled is also covered), the Reader/Writer communicates with all the Tags in the communication area on receiving the command, and returns the results of the communications with each tag as a response.
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication 5-2-3-2 Multiple Repeat Mode Read Command (RD) Write Command (WT) with UID/SNR addition setting enabled (Excluding I.CODE1 Mode). The Reader/Writer continues to return a response every time it has communicated with a Tag in the communication area.
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication 5-2-4 Selective Access Selective Access is a function to communicate with the specified Tags among multiple Tags in the antenna communication area. The processes vary depending on the Reader/Writer’s mode. 5-2-4-1 ISO Mode First, the Reader/Writer reads out the UID of the Tag in the communication area using Read Command (in multiple processing modes).
Page 76
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication ■ Selective Access Operation: In ISO Mode (Host) (Reader/Writer) (Tag) (1) The Reader/Write receives a command. Multi-Read Command (UID Additional Setting) Tag (UID1) (2) The Reader/Writer communicates with the Waits for a Tag Tag. A response (UID1) (3) The Reader/Writer returns a response with UID.
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication 5-2-4-2 I.CODE1Moed After allocating the Temporary numbers to the Tags in the communication area using Tag Detection Command, the Reader/Writer communicates with the Tags based on the allocated numbers. The Tag code must be specified as command data according to the numbers of the Tags present in the communication area.
5-2 Control Procedures for Each Communication ■ Selective Access Operation: In I.CODE1 Mode (Host) (Reader/Writer) (Tag) (1) Reader/Writer receives a command Tag Detection Command (RD) Communications process Tag (0) (2) The Reader/Writer communicates with the Tag; it Adds a temporary number to the response and stores it within the Reader/Writer.
Command-Response Format 5-2-5 Specifying a Tag Code: I.CODE1 Mode The timeslot setting is the setting in the command frame when communicating with multiple Tags simultaneously using Multi-system commands. This setting must be set according to the number of Tags with which to communicate simultaneously. Refer to the table below for the relationship between the number of Tags and this setting.
Command-Response Format 5-3-1 Command Frame Structure The Reader/Writer continuously receives signals from STX through ETX, and executes the command when the correct node number is received (*1). If, after receiving an STX signal, another STX signal is received before an ETX signal is received, the second STX signal is given command priority. Node No.
