About this Manual: This manual describes the operation of the V600 RFID System and includes the sections described below. Please read this manual completely and be sure you understand the information provided before attempting to operate the system. Section 1 provides a general introduction to the RFID System and the ID Controller.
SECTION 1 Features and System Configuration This section provides a general introduction to the RFID System and the ID Controller. Features ............System Configuration .
Features Section 1-1 Features V600 RFID System offers powerful support to the automation of large-scale distributed control systems and multi-model small-scale production systems by means of contactless data communication. Easy to Use • Significantly shortens the communication tact time with moving pallets.
Section 1-2 System Configuration System Configuration Being equipped with a serial interface conforming to RS-232C, the ID Control- ler V600-CM1D can communicate with general-purpose factory computers (FC) and personal computers (IBM XT/AT compatible). Communications pro- cessing is performed using the commands from a host computer (FC, IBM XT/ AT compatible) in the RUN mode.
Outline of Operation Section 1-3 Outline of Operation Host computer: FC, IBM XT/AT ID Controller R/W Head or R/W Antenna Reading data specifying processing Data carrier Programmable To next processing Controller (PC) Pallet Pallet Processing/inspection When a command is sent from the host computer (FC, IBM XT/AT compatible) to the ID Controller, the R/W Head (or R/W Antenna) enters the stand-by state, waiting for a signal from the DC.
Section 1-4 User I/O User I/O The ID Controller is equipped with two user outputs that can be turned ON/ OFF by a command from the host controller, and also two user inputs whose ON/OFF status can be read. These I/Os can be manipulated independently of each other, so that ON/OFF signals can be processed easily and at low cost by a host computer.

SECTION 3 Switch Setting and Wiring This section provides the DIP switch settings and the wiring instructions required before operating the ID Controller. DIP Switch Setting ..........Installation Environment .
Section 3-1 DIP Switch Setting DIP Switch Setting The communications interface is set by the DIP switches on the ID Controller. To gain access to the DIP switches, remove the cover on the monitor unit con- nector. Set the DIP switches in accordance with the communication specifica- tions of the host computer.
Page 27
DIP Switch Setting Section 3-1 TEST Mode Communications testing can be conducted between the ID Controller and a DC in the off-line state. The ID Controller repeatedly communicates with a DC at 1-second intervals. During communication with the DC, the HEAD Indicator lights.
Page 28
Section 3-1 DIP Switch Setting Trigger Input The ID Controller is provided with a trigger input that informs the Controller when to start processing the DC. After receiving a command from the host controller, the ID Controller waits until the conditions of this trigger input are satisfied, and then starts communications with the DC.
Section 3-4 RS-232C Interface Connection RESET Signal Input Make sure that the input voltage of the RESET signal does not exceed the maximum voltage (26.4 V). If this is exceeded, the ID Controller may malfunc- tion. To improve the noise immunity, separate the wiring of the input lines from high-tension equipment or power lines.
SECTION 4 Communications This section provides information on the communications aspects of the RFID System. Movement of Data Carrier and Command Status ..... . Memory Map of Data Carrier .

Page 33
Section 4-1 Movement of Data Carrier and Command Status Read/Write Function Read/Write Command Processing: The read/write function is used for com- munication when the Data Carrier is motionless. Therefore, it must be con- firmed that the Data Carrier is at a specified position, i.e., in the communication area of the R/W Head.
Page 34
Movement of Data Carrier and Command Status Section 4-1 Auto Read/Write Function Auto Command Processing: When the ID Controller has received an auto command, it does not respond to the host computer until the Data Carrier approaches. When the Data Carrier approaches, the communication line between the Controller and the host computer becomes busy.
Page 35
Section 4-1 Movement of Data Carrier and Command Status Polling Function When an ordinary auto command is executed, the ID Controller does not respond to the host computer until the Data Carrier approaches. Only when the Data Carrier approaches, the communication line between the host com- puter and the ID Controller becomes busy.

Section 5-4 Checking the Data Carrier Life Checking the Data Carrier Life 5-4-1 SRAM-type Data Carrier Checking Battery Voltage Drop 1,2,3... 1. A voltage drop of the battery cannot always be checked but can be checked only when specific access is made.This is because, to check the battery voltage, a certain amount of current is temporarily allowed to flow through the internal circuit of the data carrier.
Page 66
Section 5-4 Checking the Data Carrier Life resistance, and does not indicate that the battery life is over. Accordingly, if a Data Carrier is purchased and left unused for several months, activate the battery by performing a read operation for about 10 minutes. (Activating the battery in this way will run current through it, which will return the internal resistance to its normal state.
