Section 4 Function Trigger Input (Lower Trigger Execution) The ID Controller uses trigger inputs to inform the ID Controller when to start processing the Data Carrier. After receiving a command from the host device, the ID Controller will wait until the rising edge of the trigger input and then start communications with the Data Carrier.
Section 4 Function Write Protect Function The write protect function prevents important data stored in the Data Carrier, such as the product type and model, from being overwritten by other data and lost. Use the following methods to set write protection after writing important data. Data Carriers with Built-in Battery (V600-D@KR@@ and V600-D@KF@@) ■...

Section 4 Function Data Carriers without Batteries (V600-D23P@@) ■ Setting Write Protection Function The write protect function is set by writing the final address to be protected in address 0000H of the Data Carrier's memory. The area between address 0001H and the write-protect end address will be write- protected.
Section 4 Function Data Carrier Service Life Detection Data Carriers with Built-in Battery (V600-D@KR@@ and V600-D@KF@@) ■ Checking If the Battery Is Low ● Data Carriers with Built-in Batteries (Excluding V600-D2KR16) (1)A battery-low check for the Data Carrier can be performed only when special access is made. The battery-low check is performed by running a fixed current through the internal circuit of the Data Car- rier.
Page 68
Section 4 Function Data Carriers without Batteries (V600-D23P@@) MANAGEMENT DATA SUBTRACTION/LIMIT commands (MDS/MDL) can be used to determine whether the overwrite count for the EEPROM Data Carrier has been exceeded. By executing the MANAGEMENT DATA SUBTRACTION command (MDS), the number of overwrites is decremented from the data in the specified overwrite count control area, and whether the data has exceeded the limit is determined.
Page 69
Section 4 Function ■ MDL Command The overwrite count control area consists of 3 bytes from the start address. The incremented value of the Upper digit Area start address overwrite count is written in this area, and if this value Middle digit 3 bytes is 100,000 (0186A0H) an end code of 76 will be...
Section 4 Function Data Carrier Memory Check Function A memory check can be made using the MANAGEMENT DATA CHECK/CALCULATE commands (MDC/ MDK). A CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) code calculation, overwrite, and comparison are made, using the check block unit specified by the user. The CRC code is calculated from the generated polynomial expression + 1.
Section 4 Function Write Command Memory A write command executed by the ID Controller is recorded until either the next write command or until power is reset. The write commands include the WRITE, EXPANSION WRITE, AUTO WRITE, and POLLING AUTO WRITE commands. The recorded write command can be executed by using the WRITE PROCESSING REPEAT command.

Movement of Data Carriers and Command Status Communications Control Protocol The host device communications control protocol conforms to the OMRON SYSWAY protocol. (1) Initially the host device has the right to send. When the host device sends a command, the right to send is transferred to the ID Controller.
Page 75
Section 5 Communications Command Reception Status The ID Controller can have the following status for commands sent from the host device. ■ Command Wait Status The ID Controller is in Command Wait Status when it is currently processing no command and is ready to receive any command from the host device.
Page 76
Section 5 Communications Read/Write Functions ■ Read/Write Command Processing The read/write function is used for communications when the Data Carrier is motionless. Therefore, always be sure that the Data Carrier is at the specified position, i.e., in the communications area of the Read/Write Head. If the Data Carrier is missing, the ID Controller will return a response with an error code of 72 (Data Carrier missing).
Page 77
Section 5 Communications Using the AUTO READ and AUTO WRITE Commands The READ and WRITE commands are normally used when Data Carriers are stopped. The Auto Commands are normally used when Data Carriers are moving. ● READ or WRITE Command ●...
Page 78
Section 5 Communications Polling This section describes command processing when two Read/Write Heads are connected to one ID Controller. For normal Auto Commands, the ID Controller does not return a response until the Data Carrier approaches the specified Read/Write Head. This means that the communications path with the host device remains in the Busy Status, and the host device cannot send commands to the ID Control- ler's other Read/Write Head.
Section 5 Communications Command Format Command and Response Formats This section describes the format of commands sent from the host device to the ID Controller and the format of responses returned to the host device. ■ 1:1 Communications 1 frame = 522 characters max. Command code Data Terminator...
Page 80
Section 5 Communications For Expansion Commands, any command longer than 271 characters or any response longer than 256 characters is divided into multiple frames for communications. Only the last frame is sent with a terminator (*CR); all other frames are sent with a delimiter (CR). 1.

Section 5 Communications POLLING AUTO WRITE (PW) For POLLING AUTO WRITE, the ID Controller immediately returns a response informing the host device that the command has been received (end code: 74 = polling command received). The ID Controller then waits for a Data Carrier to approach and writes data to Data Carrier memory. During this time, the host device can check on the result of the command processing by using a subcommand.

Section 5 Communications MANAGEMENT DATA SUBTRACTION/LIMIT (MDS/MDL) These command are used to control the number of times that a Data Carrier without a battery can be overwritten. By updating the management area designated by the user, the user can determine whether the number of times the EEPROM has been overwritten exceeds the set number.

Section 5 Communications ABORT (XZ) If the ID Controller does not return a response due to a problem during host communications or during communications with a Data Carrier, the ABORT command can be executed to restore the ID Controller to the Command Wait Status. No response will be returned to the ABORT command.

Section 5 Communications COMMUNICATIONS CONDITIONS SETTING (TR) TR sets conditions for serial communications. After modifying a setting it is necessary to restart the ID Controller or execute the ABORT command (XZ) to enable operating with the modified setting. Setting communications conditions with this command is enable only when internal settings are enabled (i.e., when SW3 pin 1 is ON).
