3-1You can use one of the three communication modes according to the number of tags in the communication area and the situation.  The communication mode can be specified in the communication designation in a command.(1)  Single modeIn the Single mode, the communication is made to one tag in the antenna commu-nication area.  In the Single mode, only one tag must be placed in the antenna com-munication area.  If two or more tags are in the antenna communication area, a communication error occurs.(2)  FIFO mode (First-In First-Out)The FIFO mode enables to access the tags coming in the communication area sequentially one by one.  When the communication to one tag has been completed, the tag is prohibited from communicating.  So, even if there is any tag, which ended the communication, in the antenna communication area, the communication can be made to the next target tag.  When the tag prohibited from communicating has gone out of the antenna communication area, such tag can communicate again.(3)  Multi modeWhen there are several tags in the antenna communication area, the Multi mode enables to access all those tags.  By using the Selective Access function, the com-munication can be made to a specified tag of those in the antenna communication area.Correct UsageWhen you use the FIFO mode, only one tag must be placed in the antenna communication area.  If two or more tags are in the antenna communication area, a communication error occurs.  Then, the communication cannot be recovered from failure unless only one tag is in the antenna communication area.Chapter 3  Functions3-1  Single/FIFO/Multi Mode Access Function
3-2The communication 2 m mode and 5 m mode can be switched to each other by a command from a host device.  Use either one depend-ing on a working site.For the command, refer to Sections 5-9-2 and 5-9-3.  The default value is the 2 m mode.For the communication area of 2 m mode and 5 m mode, refer to Section 7-1.3-2  Communication 2 m Mode/5 m Mode Switching
3-3In this RFID system, a range from 2437.5 to 2462.5 MHz in the 2450 MHz frequency band can be divided into ten, and 10 channels (at 2.5-MHz intervals) are available.  Those channels can be switched by a command from a host device.  Use them to prevent the mutual interference between antennas or interference caused by any other devices.For the command, refer to Sections 5-9-2 and 5-9-3.  The default value is Channel 5 (2450 MHz).Correct UsageDue to dispersion of frequency, the frequencies of adjacent channels may overlap each other.  Do not assign consecu-tive numbers to the channels of adjacent antennas.Channel2450 MHz frequency band3-3  Radio Wave Channel Switching
3-4You can check the communication between an antenna and tag using the antenna only without connecting to a host device.In the simplified communication test, the antenna detects the tag at approximately every 2 seconds and, if the tag responds, it turns on the indicator C.(1) Turn off the power supply.(2) Short-circuit the setting terminals "+P" and "-P".(3) Turn on the power supply.  Then, the setting mode is enabled.  (Refer to Section 5-1.)(4) The simplified communication test starts.  As shown below, the indicator C (Radio wave emission)  shows whether the communica-tion to the tag is made successfully.(5) When any command has been sent from a host device to the antenna, the communication test stops.:  Turns on.      :  Blinks at approximately every 2 seconds.

3-5Execute the communication test to check a radio wave environment at a working site.Data (256 bytes) is communicated 256 times between the antenna and tag and the communication status is output.  A total of 128 kbytes of data is communicated in two ways.  So, it takes a few seconds to execute this test.  The communication is not retried.  Refer to Section 5-7-8.(1) Create a communication program at a host device.(2) Enable the operation mode.  (Disconnect the terminals "+P" and "-P" from each other.  Refer to Section 5-1.)(3) Turn on the power supply.(4) Put the tag in front of the antenna.(5) Send a communication test command (Section 5-7-8).  If the antenna is 00, the command is [STX]0080T0SU[ETX].(6) If the antenna responds to the host device, the communication between the host device and antenna has been made successfully.(7) In the response [STX]8000T0000256 [ETX], a radio wave environment value   is between 0000 and 0256.  If the value isclose to 0000, the communication to the tag is stable.Example of response from antenna:* Radio wave environment is good.[STX] 8 0 0 0 T 0 0 0 0 2 5 6 0 0 0 0 [ETX]Number of Radio wavecommunications environment value* Radio wave environment is poor or no tag is in communication area.[STX] 8 0 0 0 T 0 0 0 0 2 5 6 0 2 5 6 [ETX]Number of Radio wavecommunications environment valueCorrect UsageWe recommend you to set the radio wave environment value to 50 or less.3-5  Communication Test

3-8The tag has the two power-saving functions below.♦♦♦♦Function to prevent battery power loss due to radio wave emitted from any other radio equipment (Enabled always)If any radio equipment is located near a tag, the tag operates (ready to operate) because the tag’s receiving band is wide.  As a result, the tag battery may be consumed.  (Refer to "Notes on Interference to Second-Generation Low-Power Data Communication System (Wire-less LAN), Cellular Phone, etc." at the beginning of this manual.)To prevent this power loss, the tag has a function to enter a sleep state (refer to "Appendix 1 - Glossary") against a radio wave emitted from any other radio equipment.• The V690 antenna sends a wake instruction (refer to "Appendix 1 - Glossary") at every 100 msec after emitting a radio wave and thetag operates (ready to operate).• When the tag receives a radio wave emitted from any other radio equipment, the tag may operate (ready to operate).  However, unlessreceiving a valid wake instruction, the tag returns to a sleep state in 2 seconds.Antenna radio wave emissionWake instructionEven if there is no command from a host device, the antenna sends a wake instruction at every 100 msec while emitting a radio wave.TagOperates (Ready to operate)Sleep 2 seconds (fixed)If the tag once receives a valid wake instruction in 2 sec-onds after it started an operation, the tag does not sleep.TagOperates (Ready to operate)Sleep 2 seconds (fixed)If the tag cannot receive a valid wake instruction in 2 sec-onds after it started an operation, the tag sleeps.3-7  ID Tag Power-Saving Function
3-7 ID Tag Power-Saving Function3-9♦♦♦♦Function to prevent battery power loss due to neglect when tag works (Enabled always)When you use the antenna with a repeat command (refer to (3) in Section 5-2-1), due to a trouble in a working site, the tag may be left in front of the antenna which is emitting a radio wave, although the tag operates (ready to operate).  Then, the tag battery is consumed.  To prevent this power loss, the tag has a function to enter a sleep state when a waiting time for sleep (refer to a chart below) has passed.If the tag cannot receive a valid command within a waiting time for sleep after receiving a valid command, the tag enters a sleep state.A default value of waiting time for sleep is 480 seconds (8 minutes).  To change waiting time, specify "SLEP" as address in the Read/Write command.  (Refer to Sections 5-7-1 and 5-7-3 to 5-7-5.)To recover the tag from the sleep state:• Turn OFF the power supply transmission of the antenna and turn ON it again.• Take the tag out of the communication area and place it in the communication area again.Antenna radio wave emissionTag Operates (Ready to operate)Sleep(A radio wave is being emitted)Command processWaiting time for sleep
4-14-1-1  Installation Environment(1) Antenna and tagInstall the antenna and tag so that those front faces can face each other.  Confirm the front side and the reverse side of them.  The front faces must face each other.(2) AntennasKeep sufficient space between the antennas according to Section 7-5.  If sufficient space cannot be obtained:• Assign the most different channel numbers to the radio channels of adjacent antennas. (Refer to Section 3-3.)• Permit only one of antennas to transmit a radio wave so that those antennas do not transmit radio waves simultaneously.(3) Tag rotating position to antennaThe antenna and tag use "circularly polarized wave" as radio wave to communicate with each other.  So, the tag can communicate with the antenna at any rotating angle.The maximum communication range varies depending on the rotating angle of the tag.  Refer to Section 7-3.• Conceptual diagram of circularly polarized waveThe arrows show the directions of vibrating surface. The radio wave propagates while the vibrating surface is rotating.Antenna TagFront faceFront faceAntennaTag* A hatched area   on the tag shows the "omron" logo.Chapter 4  Installation and Connection4-1  Read/Write Antenna and ID Tag
4-1 Read/Write Antenna and ID Tag4-2(4) Influence of external objects• Radio wave absorbers: water, human body, water screen, water-absorptive material, etc.A radio wave (microwave) penetrates anything (solid body and liquid) other than metal, but it is attenuated while penetrating.  In partic-ular, water absorbs a radio wave extremely.  When a radio wave penetrates the water, the radio wave is absorbed considerably.  Also, the radio wave is attenuated remarkably in a human body which contains much water.  So, any solid body and liquid must not exist between the antenna and tag.A general-purpose plastic plate with thickness of or glass plate a few millimeters does not absorb the radio wave, and the radio wave attenuation is not a serious problem in this case.  However, the radio wave attenuation varies depending on a type of material and/or thickness of external objects which the radio wave penetrates.  Execute the communication experiment in a working site in advance.  When the communication is performed through the plastic plate or glass plate which absorbs the radio wave so much, such plastic plate or glass plate may be covered with water due to rain.  The radio wave may be attenuated by this water screen and the communication may fail.  Execute the communication experiment in a working site in advance and take great care not to get out of the communication range during an operation.Dry wood and paper do not attenuate the radio wave so much.  However, wood and paper absorb water easily.  The wet wood and paper may attenuate the radio wave considerably.  Execute the communication experiment in a working site in advance using both of dry materials and wet ones.• Radio wave reflectors: metal, ground, etc.Metal reflects a radio wave (microwave) like a mirror reflects light.  If there is a metal near an antenna communication area, the commu-nication area is affected by the metal.  If a metal is put between an antenna and tag, the communication between the antenna and tag may fail.  Metal, whether metal plate or wire netting, may affect the communication.  Also, the ground affects the communication like metal.As shown below, a radio wave absorber or reflector can be used to interrupt a radio wave.  When you interrupt the radio wave, execute the communication experiment in a working site in advance.Example of radio wave absorber: ECCOSORB AN75 (61 x 61 cm, E&C Engineering)Radio wave transmitted from an antennaA part of radio wave is reflected.Object Absorbed in an object and attenuated.TagRadio wave transmitted from a tag.OutgoingIncomingAntennaCommunication areaTag that you want to process dataTag that you do not want to process dataRadio wave interrupt
4-1 Read/Write Antenna and ID Tag4-3• Communication area affected by the groundIf an antenna is installed near the ground, radio waves (microwave) emitted from the antenna and ones reflected by the ground overlap each other.  Therefore, an outline of the communication area becomes ragged and complex.  In this case, dead zones may be formed fre-quently, where no communication can be made to the tag.Correct UsageDepending on a working site, a special point may be generated in the communication area above and the communica-tion to the tag cannot be made at the point.  So, be sure to execute the communication check with a communication test (refer to Section 3-5), etc.AntennaTagGroundTagAntennaGroundCommunication area affected by the groundCommunication area not affected by the ground

4-1 Read/Write Antenna and ID Tag4-54-1-3  Rainproofing of AntennaThe antenna is not waterproof structure.  So, do not install the antenna.If you must install the antenna outdoors, protect the antenna against rain with a plastic rainproof box.  To prevent the water droplet com-ing in the antenna through a cable, be sure to turn the antenna cable section downward.Example of plastic rainproof box: Model WB-5AJ (Outside dimensions: 571 (H) x 412 (W) x 210 (D) mm, Mirai Industry)Correct UsageProtective structure IP62 of the antenna is the protection against the drop of water.  If the antenna is splashed with water spray or water jet flow, cover the antenna with a protection plate.  (Refer to "Appendix 3 - Protective Structure".)Gap between the antenna surface and window plate is 10 to 20 mm.Size enough to cover the entire antenna including a connector.Example of protection boxDrill a large hole for ventilation and drainage. Clamp it to prevent the connector being pulled directly.If the box is metallic, make a window on the box.  The window size shall be the same as the antenna.Cover the window with an acrylic plate, etc. 3 mm in thickness which a radio wave can penetrate easily.

Do not use any lock paint to fix screws.♦♦♦♦Influence on communication performance, adhesive, metal tape, water screen, etc.• When you apply adhesive, etc. on the tag surface, a radio wave (microwave) is attenuated and the communication area may beaffected.  Execute the communication experiment with anything used actually in advance.• If a metallic tape, etc. is put on the tag surface, a radio wave is interrupted and the communication to the antenna fails.• If the tag is put on a glass plate with double-sided adhesive tape as shown below, a gap between the glass plate and tag sweats easily.Moreover, a water screen may be generated.  In this case, please note that a radio wave is absorbed and the communication rangemay become small.Spring washerFlat washer(Unit: mm)Glass plate, etc.ID tagDouble-sided adhesive tape, etc.

5-2 Communication Operation Sequence5-7(2) MultiThe communication to all the tags in the antenna communication area can be made.  Multi Trigger and Multi Repeat commands are available:In Multi Trigger, the antenna communicates with all the tags in the communication area when it receives a command.  When the process has completed, the antenna returns the communication end response (termination code 72).In Multi Repeat, the antenna waits for a tag when it receives a command.  The antenna continues to communicate with all the tags com-ing in the communication area.To terminate Multi Repeat:• When an auto repeat cancel command (C2) is issued, the antenna discontinues Multi Repeat and becomes ready to accept a com-mand.• When any other command is issued, the antenna discontinues Multi Repeat and executes the new command.  If the command formatis wrong, the antenna returns the format error response 14 and discontinues Multi Repeat.If a waiting time for tag (refer to Section 5-9-4) is set, when the waiting time for tag has been passed, the antenna returns the no-tag error response 72 and continues Multi Repeat.When a command is executed, the tag is in a sleep mode according to the communication designation (S!).An example of Multi Trigger is shown below.Multi S/M/LTime Slot method (refer to "Appendix 1 - Glossary") is used to detect several tags.

Appendix-1AntennaIn this manual, this refers to the Read/Write antenna, a reader/writer which accesses an ID tag of the RFID system.ARIBAssociation of Radio Industries and Businesses, which issues the standards for radio equipment based on the Radio Law of Japan.The first edition of Specified Low-Power Radio Station - Radio Equipment for Mobile Object Identification RCR STD-29 wasissued in 1992 and revised in July 2000 into Version 3.0ASCIIAmerican Standard Code for the Information Interchange.  American standard character code.  This is almost the same as JIS 7 unitcode for alphanumerical character, except that "¥" in JIS code is "\" in ASCII code.AWGShows a wire size.  As the AWG number becomes small, the wire size becomes large.  For the cable of this product, cross-sectionalarea of AWG22 is approximately 0.45 mm2 and that of AWG26 is approximately 0.18 mm2.Circularly polarized waveA wave that direction of electrical field (or magnetic field) is one way and not affected by time and place is referred to as "Linearlypolarized wave".  On the other hand, a wave that direction of electrical field varies depending on time and place, i.e., the electricalfield rotates in the radio wave transmitting direction, is referred to as "Elliptically polarized wave".  Among the elliptically polarizedwaves, a wave that amplitude is constant is the circularly polarized wave.CommandIn this manual, this refers to an instruction from a host device to the Read/Write antenna.CommunicationIn this manual, this refers to data communication between a host device and Read/Write antenna.  Data communication  between anID tag and Read/Write antenna is referred to as data exchange. Data exchangeIn this manual, this refers to data communication between an ID tag and Read/Write antenna.Grounding Class DGrounding method that grounding resistance is 100 Ω or less.  This was formerly referred to "Grounding Class III".Half-duplex communicationAlthough this is two-way data transmission, transmission can be performed only in one way at a time.  In the full-duplex communi-cation, the data transmission can be done in two ways simultaneously.HEXHexadecimal number.  A method to express a numerical value.  The hexadecimal numbering system has a base of 16.  The numbers0 to 9 and characters A to F are used.  The characters A to F correspond to the decimal numbers 10 to 15.Host deviceA device, such as PC, programmable controller (PLC), etc., to issue a command to the Read/Write antenna.JIS8Character code of JIS.  There are 8 unit code (8 bits) and 7 unit code (7 bits).  JIS8 unit code is for both of alphanumerical characterand Japanese Kana character.m/s2Unit of acceleration based on SI (International System of Units).  The old unit is "G".  1G = 9.807 m/s2.MicrowaveThis product uses 2450 MHz which is recognized as IMS band (for industrial, medical and scientific purpose) in the world.N•mUnit of torque based on SI (International System of Units).  N is Newton.  The old unit is "kgf•m".  1 kgf•m = 9.807 N•m.AppendixAppendix 1  Glossary
Appendix 1 GlossaryAppendix-2ResponseIn this manual, this refers to a response returned by the Read/Write antenna after a host device issued an instruction to the Read/Writeantenna.RFIDRadio Frequency Identification, i.e., automatic identification with radio system.  Data about object is stored in the ID tag memoryand the data is read/written by a reader/writer without contacting.RS-232CCommon physical interface standard of EIA (Electronics Industries Association).  Communication speed 9600 bps can be achievedin communication range 15 m.RS-422ACommon physical interface standard of EIA (Electronics Industries Association).  RS-422A is more excellent in noise resistancethan RS-232C and a maximum of 3000 m of communication range is available.  Communication is performed through four wires.Two wires are for sending and the others are for receiving.RS-485Common physical interface standard of EIA (Electronics Industries Association).  The same line is used for both of sending andreceiving.  So, communications can be made through two wires.Second-generation low-power data communication systemRemarkably applicable wireless LAN which was legislated in 1999.  A wide range of frequency band 2400 to 2483.5 MHz can beused by the SS (Spread Spectrum) system and multiple channels are available.  ARIB RCR STD-33 (1999) is the Standard.Sleep, sleep stateThe state that any communication to the Read/Write antenna is not performed.  In this state, battery power is used only to back updata in SRAM and the power consumption is 1/100 or less of the state that the ID tag operates or communicates.  Therefore, toextend the life of the battery of ID tag, we recommend you to put the ID tag in the sleep state whenever the ID tag does not work.When the ID tag receives a radio wave from the Read/Write antenna, the ID tag quits the sleep state and works.Specified low-power radio stationA radio station that the antenna power is 10 mW or less.  A user is not required to apply a license for radio station.  This product isverified by Technical Regulation Conformity Certification of an official organization before shipment.SRAMStatic RAM (Random Access Memory).  Volatile memory.  Data is backed up by battery.Standby, standby stateThe state that all the circuits in a tag are ready to operate after a command is executed.  The battery power consumption is the sameas that at an operation such as communication.  As a period of the standby state becomes short, the life of the battery can be extended.Start-stop synchronizationAsynchronous data communication system which does not use synchronizing clock.  Communication line is only one.  Use it whensynchronizing clock cannot be sent.TagIn this manual, this refers to ID tag which is memory media accessed by the Read/Write antenna of the RFID system.  As accuratetechnical term, this is referred to as "Transponder".  We call it "Tag" because "Transponder" is hard to say.Terminating resistancePut at both ends of communication line to prevent reflection in the communication line in RS-422A/RS-485.Time slotOne of the systems that the Read/Write antenna accesses several ID tags.  This system adopts the time slot.  For example, if "M" (thenumber of time slots = 16) is specified in the data exchange designation of a command, the antenna informs the ID tag that there are16 time slots and every ID tag returns a response according to timing of any of 16 time slots.  If responses of several ID tags collidewith each other, the time slots for those tags are rearranged.  For "M", if the number of tags are approximately 8, probability of rear-rangement is reduced and the total data exchange time is not prolonged so much.
Appendix 1 GlossaryAppendix-3Wake instructionA command for identification transmitted at every 100 msec when the Read/Write antenna transmitted a radio wave.  The ID tag onlycan identify it.  When the ID tag receives the wake instruction, the ID tag continues an operation.  If the ID tag cannot receive thewake command, the ID tag enters the sleep state.  The ID tag power-saving function described in Section 3-7 is achieved by utilizingthis function.
