10SECTION 1FeaturesElectromagnetic Inductive RFID SystemUser's ManualSECTION 1Product OutlineFeaturesThe V670-CF01 CF Reader/Writer combines the V670-series Antenna and Controller into a single unit with aCF interface. It has superior portability and operability because it can be by slotting it into a CF card slot (TypeII) on a Handy Terminal. Tag data can be read and written using serial communications from the HandyTe r m i n a l.Refer to Ta g s  for detailed Tag specifications. p.70Ferroelectric memory (FeRAM) is a type of non-volatile memory that can write data much faster than previous types of memory,such as EEPROM and flash ROM, and it has a semipermanent writing life. Furthermore, the previous types of memory could nolonger hold data if nothing had been written to the memory for a certain period (approximately 10 years). FeRAM, on the otherhand, is far better for data storage because it can hold data as long as data is read or written within a specific period of time.The following three types of ID Tags (“Tags”) can be used with the CF Reader/Writer.Model Description V670-D13F03 The V670-D13F03 ID Tag has a memory capacity of 128 bytes. It is a 40 × 40 mm square tag with water-resistant properties. It also uses a highly effi-cient, non-volatile ferroelectric memory, called FeRAM, as internal mem-ory. FeRAM has a semipermanent life (i.e., it can be accessed 1 billion times).V670-D13F01 The V670-D13F01 ID Tag is a 8 × 16 mm rectangular tag. It is highly chemical resistant because a PPS case and highly chemical-resistant epoxy resin is used on the exterior. It has the same memory capacity and performance as the V670-D13F03.V670-D13F01H The V670-D13F01H ID Tag has the same performance and construction as the V670-D13F01. It has holes for easy mounting.CF Reader/WriterV670-CF01Handy TerminalRZ-N155S (Manufactured by Sharp)PDT8046 (Manufactured by Symbol Technology)Protective CoverV670-A75SH155SV670-A75SY8046

32SECTION 3Memory Check FunctionElectromagnetic Inductive RFID SystemUser's ManualSECTION 3FunctionsMemory Check FunctionA check code can be added to the data in a Tag to detect errors from memory write life or unexpected causes.The polynomial X16 + X12 + X5 + 1 is used to generate a CRC code as the check code.Use the Memory Check command (MD) to write and verify commands.In the check block, which is specified using the startaddress and the number of bytes, all but the last two bytesare the calculation area. The last two bytes of the block arethe check code area.When a Check Code Write command is sent, the CRCcode for the data in the calculation area is calculated andwritten to the check code area. When a Data Verifycommand is sent, the CRC code for the data in thecalculation area is calculated and compared to the data inthe check code area. When the data matches, “0” isreturned as the response status flag to indicate that thedata is normal. If the data does not match, “1” is returnedas a warning.Calculate and write the check code using the Memory Check command (MD) after writing data and verify thecheck code before reading data. This enables detecting in advance data corruption in Tags that can occurwhile the Tags are not being accessed.Refer to Memory Check (MD) when using the Memory Check function. p.48Check code calculation area (check block bytes − 2)Area start addressCheck code area (2 bytes)Address0001CRC (leftmost)CRC (rightmost)Data writeCheck code calculationCheck code verificationData readWriting stageReading stage
33Electromagnetic Inductive RFID SystemUser's ManualSECTION 3Write ProtectionSECTION 3FunctionsWrite ProtectionThe write protection function is a protective function designed to prevent fixed data, such as paletteinformation or product information, stored in a Tag memory from being erased by accidental overwriting. Anyarea of specified addresses can be write protected (a maximum of two areas) by setting protection informationin the Tag. A protection error will occur if a write is executed for any write-protected page.Part of the user data area ($0000 to $0003) is used for protection area information.To enable write protection, write the protection area information to a specified address and then use the TagFunction Setting command (TF) to specify “Protection Setting” in the process designation parameter.Similarly, to disable write protection, specify “Disable” in the process designation parameter.Refer to Tag Function Designation (TF) when using the write protection function. p.49* Range for protection area: 0004h to 007FhArea $0000 to $0003 cannot be used as data area if the write protection function is used.

Each transmitted characteris equivalent to 1 byte of data in the Tag. Character data can be directly read or written, but do not usethe carriage return (CR) control code in send data. If the CR control code is used in write data, a com-mand error will occur.•Data Write ExampleIf “V670” is specified as the write data for 4 bytes of memory begin-ning with the address 10h, the data is written to the Tag memoryas shown in the diagram.•Data Read ExampleIf 4 bytes of memory is read starting with address 10h, the readdata will be “V670” for the data shown in the diagram.■Hexadecimal (JIS8 Unit Code) Designation “H”One byte of Tag data is converted to two hexadecimal characters (00 to FF) and transmitted. Eachtransmitted character is equivalent to 2 bytes of data in the Tag. Always set write data in the 2-charac-ter units 00 to FF (i.e., as an even number of characters). A command error will occur if an odd numberof characters is accidentally set.•Data Write ExampleIf “56363730” is specified as the write data for 4 bytes of memorybeginning with the address 10h, the data is written to the Tagmemory as shown in the diagram.•Data Read ExampleIf you read 4 bytes of memory starting with address 10h, the read data will be "56363730" for the datashown in the diagram.10h11h12h13h53336670̌V̍̌6̍̌7̍̌0̍AddressTag memory WTSAA1001004V670㧖CRASCII desig-nation Antenna designa-tion Start address Communica-tions desig-nation Command  No. of bytes  Write data Command CRRD0 0 00 V6 70㧖Retry flag  Status flag  Read data End code Command Response 10h11h12h13h53336670AddressTag memory 㧖CR45636WTS A H 1 0 0 1 0 0 3730HEX desig-nation Antenna designa-tion Start address Communica-tions desig-nation Command  Write data No. of bytes Command RD0 0 0 0 56 36 CR㧖37 30Retry flag  Status flag  Read data End code Command Response

The communications time is the time required for communications between theCF Reader/Writer and a Tag, and does not include communications with the host device.•Communications TimeThe communications time is the time required for communications between CF Reader/Writers and aTag. The time depends on the amount of data to be read or written. Refer to the following charts for thecommunications time.Command ResponseCommunications timeTAT81624040485632 72 80 8864 10411212096 1282402202001801601401201008060No. of processed data bytes Communications time (ms) • Read81624040485632 72 80 8864 10411212096 1282402202001801601401201008060No. of processed data bytes Communications time (ms) • Write (with Verification)
78SECTION 6Specifications and DimensionsElectromagnetic Inductive RFID SystemUser's ManualSECTION 6AppendicesRead and write communications with Tags is performed in 4-byte units. This means that the communi-cations time can be minimized by specifying the address and number of bytes so that the write startaddress is a multiple of 4.Example: If 4 bytes of data is to be written from address 0001h, change the address to 0000h.If the system configuration is such that the address cannot be changed like this, the times on the fol-lowing table must be added to the communications time.•TATThe TAT is the time from the start of command transmission by the host device to the end of responsereception by the Handy Terminal. TAT can be calculated from the communications time and the numberof command/response characters. The formula is shown below.* The transmission time depends on the number of bits per character and the communications condi-tions (baud rate, data length, parity, and stop bits).This formula applies when there is no interval between Handy Terminal command characters, i.e.,when characters are continually transmitted.If the number of command characters is A, the number of response characters is B, the baud rate is38,400 bps, the data length is 8 bits, the parity is even, and there is 1stop bit, the following formula canbe used.The above formula finds the time when processing is started (command transmitted) with the Tag inside the communicationsarea of the CF Reader/Writer. The time depends on the communications mode and the Tag status.When write protection is used +2.9 msWhen the start address is not a multiple of 4 +2.9 msWhen the end address (start address + number of addresses) is not a multiple of 4 +2.9 ms TAT = Command transmission time + Communications time + Response transmission timeTransmission time = Bits per characterBaud rate (bps) TAT = 11 × (A + B)38400 + communications time
