Chapter 1 System Configuration This chapter describes the hardware required for the UHF RFID data collection system and the software for the RFID table scanner. 1.1 System Configuration To use the UHF RFID data collection system using the RFID table scanner, the following hardware and software, as well as the the RFID table scanner, are required: Using the DLL supplied by us, application programs can easily be built in the computer in a general-purpose development environment (Visual Studio, etc.).
Chapter 2 Names and Functions of the Parts Controller Indicator LEDs Indicate the operating status of the RFID table scanner. For details, see Chapter 6. DC jack Accepts the DC plug of the AC adapter. RS-232C communication connector Connects to a computer, etc. via the interface cable.
Antenna reading surface Antenna Put an RF tag over this surface to read it. Antenna rear side connector Antenna side coaxial connector Connects the antenna cable. Put the cable in the housing groove as shown in this figure. CAUTION If installing the antenna under the desk, use a dedicated stay (optionally available). RF tags are read using radio waves.
Antenna side coaxial connector (in the case of using UR21-MR-01) (3) If the UR21-MR-01 is used in combination with two antennas, attach the second antenna’s coaxial cable connector to the controller’s antenna connector ATN2. Push the connector firmly until it is locked.
Connecting the scanner to the computer (when RS-232C interface used) (1) Connect the RS-232C interface cable to the controller’s communication connector. Secure the connectors with their screws. Note: Run the cable through the cover in advance and then connect it. (2) Connect the RS-232C interface cable to the computer, Lock the connector.

An example of reading an RF tag using the UR21-MR-01 is given below. Entrance/exit gate control (1) Put the RF tag close to the antenna to allow the scanner to read the information from the tag. RF tag Antenna For its reading range, see Appendix 1.
Chapter 5 RFID Table Scanner Control and Parameter Settings Perform RFID table scanner control and parameter settings by using commands from a control device such as a computer via the RS-232C/USB interface. 5.1 Read Control The RFID table scanner can perform the following operations to RF tags: For details, see “DLL Reference Manual, Chapter 4, Function Specifications”...
Chapter 6 Status Check The operating status of the scanner is indicated by the four status indicator LEDs shown below. Status indicators Status PW (green) COM (red) ANT2 (orange) ANT1 (orange) Power off Unlit Unlit Unlit Unlit Power on, start-up process Unlit Unlit Unlit...
(Note 1) To use the USB-COM interface, it is necessary to install the Active USB-COM port driver, which is supplied by Denso Wave, on the computer. This driver is available for free from our QBdirect website. If you need a CD containing this driver, please contact us at the address described in “Introduction.”...
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting If data cannot be correctly read/written from/to an RF tag: Check item Corrective action If not, move it. Is the RF tag located at the read/write If the scanner is too close to or too far away from the RF tag, it position? may fail to read/write from/to the RF tag.

Scanning Performance The communication range based on our standard RF tag (Avery Dennison AD-229R6) is illustrated below. The reference values given below were measured with the scanner and RF tag in the absence of any object/substance that may affect radio waves around the scanner. ...
Writing performance Tag memory writing requires more electric power than tag memory reading: If the same output level is set for reading and writing, the writing range may be smaller than the reading range. Therefore, even if an RF tag is read successfully, a write error may occur due to insufficient RF tag power.
