Controller Numbers

It is necessary to be able to distinguish between ID Controller when more than one ID Controller is connected to a single host device. Each ID Controller is assigned a controller number for this purpose.

The controller number is included in commands and responses for 1:N communications. Communications will not be possible if the controller numbers are not set correctly.

SW1 and SW2 are enabled when SW3 pin 1 is OFF (DIP switches enabled). If SW3 pin 1 is ON (internal settings enabled), the controller numbers specified with the SP command are used.

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 Carrier. If the battery-low check is performed every time access is made, battery power will be consumed.

It is recommended that this be included as a routine check, once a day, when creating system programs.

(2) The access method for performing a battery-low check is performed when the two bytes of data from addresses 0000H to 0001H is read.

Execute one of the following commands to perform a battery-low check.

Battery-low Check Commands a REPEAT command - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - RD H/A1 0000 02*CR b AUTO READ command - - - - - - - - - - - - - - AR H/A1 0000 02*CR c POLLING AUTO READ command - - - - - - PR H/A1 0000 02*CR

If the battery is low, 7B will be given in the end code section within the response format.

Example

● Normal ● Battery Low

September 1992

● A battery low check will be performed for V600-D2KR16 Data Carriers with replaceable batteries when read/write commands are executed, regardless of the addresses used.

■ Data Carrier Life after Low Battery Signal Occurs

● After a battery-low signal is sent, the Data Carrier can be used for approximately one month in the normal operating state. The Data Carrier should be replaced, however, as soon as possible.

The SRAM Data Carriers (except the V600-D2KR16) are equipped with a thionyl chloride lithium battery. A characteristic of the thionyl chloride lithium battery is that the internal resistance of the battery increases when the battery is left unused for several months. If this occurs and a Data Carrier battery-low check is performed, a low battery response may be returned regardless of whether battery life still remains. This is a result of the increased resistance within the battery, and is not due to the battery life expiring. If a Data Carrier has been left for several months after purchase without being used, use the read operation for approximately 10 minutes to activate the battery before use. (Current will flow in the battery and resistance in the battery will return to normal as a result of activating the battery. The life of the battery will hardly be affected.)

● When using V600-D2KR16 Data Carriers with replaceable batteries, the Data Carrier can be used for approximately two weeks in the normal operating state after the low battery signal is sent. The battery should be replaced, however, as soon as possible.

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.

By executing the MANAGEMENT DATA LIMIT command (MDL), the number of overwrites is written to the data in the specified overwrite count control area, and whether the data has exceeded 100,000 writes is determined.

The MANAGEMENT DATA LIMIT command (MDL) is designed for Data Carriers without Batteries that have an expected life specification of 100,000 writes.

■ MDS Command

The overwrite count control area consists of 3 bytes from the start address. The decremented value of the overwrite count is written in this area, and if this value is 0 (00H) an end code of 76 will be returned as a warning. Therefore, to enable control of the number of overwrites, the maximum number of overwrites must be written to the overwrite count control area beforehand. The user-specified number of overwrites can be

3 bytes set to up to 16,700,000. The number of overwrites in the specifications for Data Carriers without batteries, however, is 300,000 overwrites (0493E0H) at 40

C max., so be sure to set the number of overwrites to 300,000 or lower.

The number of overwrites is controlled using hexadecimal values.

The current value can be read using the READ command.

If the control area data is already 0, the control area value will not be refreshed, and only a warning will be returned as a response.

When the refresh count is set as 00H, the count will not be updated, and only an overwrite count check will be performed.

Set the start address to between @@@0H and @@@5H or between @@@8H and @@@DH. If the start address is set between @@@6H and @@@7H or between @@@EH and @@@FH, an address error (error code: 7A hexadecimal) will be returned as the end code.

(2) When the ID Controller returns a response, the right to send is transferred back to the host device.

(3) The right to send is transferred on a carriage return.

(4) The SYSWAY protocol supports both 1:1 and 1:N communications.

(5) The 1:N communications are used when more than one ID Controller is connected to a single host device. Up to 32 ID Controllers can be connected. Each command and response begins with a controller number to identify the ID Controller. A horizontal parity check is performed as a frame check sequence (FCS) to ensure robust error detection.

(6) The 1:1 communications are used when one ID Controller is connected to one host device. To simplify procedures, a horizontal parity check is not performed.

(7) Even when using a 1:1 connection, 1:N communications can be set (i.e., N = 1). If 1:N communications are set, always implement a horizontal parity check even if the connection is only 1:1.

■ Description

1. The host device send commands to the ID

Controller.

2. The ID Controller analyzes the commands from the host device, executes communications with the Data Carriers, and writes/reads data to/ from the Data Carriers.

3. When a read command is executed, the ID

Controller sends the data it has read in a response to the host device. When a write command is executed, the Controller send a response indicating the end of processing to the host device.

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.

■ Command Processing Status

The ID Controller is in Command Processing Status from when it receives a read/write (including expansion) or auto read/write command until it completes processing the command and returns a response to the host device.

While the ID Controller is in this status, is will receive only a COMMAND PROCESSING TERMINATE or ABORT command.

■ Polling Auto Subcommand Wait Status

The Polling Auto Subcommand Wait Status occurs at the following times after the ID Controller has received a Polling Auto Command:

(1) From the time processing with the Data Carrier has been completed until the Controller returns the result of the processing in a response to a Check Polling Processing Subcommand.

(2) Until processing by the ID Controller can be canceled by a End Polling Processing Subcommand from the host device.

When the ID Controller is in Polling Auto Subcommand Wait Status, it can receive only a Polling Subcommand (Check or End) or an ABORT command.

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).

3. After the processing has been completed, the

ID Controller returns a response to the host device to indicate that the processing has ended. The host device, upon receiving the response, moves the workpiece (with the Data

Carrier) on the line.

Auto Read/Write Functions

■ Auto Command Processing

When the ID Controller has received an Auto Command, it does not send a response to the host device until the Data Carrier approaches. The communications line between the Controller and the host device will be busy until a Data Carrier approaches.

Host device ID Controller Data Carrier

Auto Command

1. The host device sends an Auto Command to the Read/Write Head.

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

Stopped

• A much wider communications area can be used to ensure dependable communications in comparison with moving Data Carriers.

● AUTO READ or AUTO WRITE Command

• When using Auto Commands, the approach of Data Carriers

Moving is automatically detected.

• If the Data Carriers are moving slowly enough and positioning is dependable enough, then there are few restrictions on the communications distance.

● Command Application Examples.

Description Precautions

• This method is applicable when

Data Carriers pass through the communications area of the

Read/Write Head at fixed intervals.

• It can also be used when a long time elapses before next Data

Carrier arrives.

• Repeating the same communication with the same Data Carrier can be prevented if the waiting time during which the

Data Carrier leaves the communications area elapses after the end of the communication.

• Transportation speed must be kept constant.

• This method is valid only for systems where communications are not performed more than once with same Data Carrier.

• For example, an Auto Command is transmitted after end of processing for the previous process has been confirmed.

• The trigger must be input before the next Data Carrier approaches.

• Trigger processing is necessary.

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 Controller's other Read/Write Head.

However, Polling Auto Commands enable the ID Controller to return a response when requested by the host device. Thus, the Busy Status of the communications path to the host device is cleared and the host device can send commands to the ID Controller's other Read/Write Head.

The manufacturing date area or a right-protected area was specified for a Write

Command.

• Host communications errors are errors that occur in communications between the host device and ID Controller.

• Data Carrier communications errors are errors that occur in communications between a Read/Write Head and the ID Controller.

• All of these errors are recorded in the ID Controller and error codes are displayed on the monitor display. The recorded errors can also be read using the ERROR READ command (CF).

Note: If a Data Carrier communications error (error code 70), mismatch error (error code 71), or copy error

(error code 76) occurs during execution of a Write Command, the addresses specified to be written for the command may be partially or completely overwritten. The data that is overwritten may not be the data specified for the Write Command. If a Data Carrier communications error (error code 70), mismatch error (error code 71), or copy error (error code 76) occurs during execution of a Write Command, continue retry processing from the host device until the command is completed with no error. No data other than the addresses specified to be written in the command will be affected.

Occurrence

Problem occurred when power was turned ON to high-capacity motor, transformer, capacitor, etc.

Irregular problems

Input signal turns ON when it should be OFF.

Possible cause

Noise superimposed on power lines

Inductive noise on input wiring

Countermeasures

Momentary voltage drop due to inrush current of large load

Increase the capacity of the power supply or use larger power cables.

Common noise cause by the above

• Supply power through a 1:1 nongrounded insulated transformer.

• Do not share the ground lines with other high-capacity loads. Independently ground to less than 100

.

(Figure 1)

Supply power through a 1:1 nongrounded insulated transformer or noise filter. (Figure 2)

• Separate input signal lines from other power lines.

• If the influence of noise is strong, route input lines using a grounded metal conduit or use shielded cables.

Maintenance and Inspection

To keep the ID Controller in the best condition, the ID Controller should be inspected daily or periodically.

Although the ID Controller consists of semiconductor devices, the following problems may occur depending on the environment and conditions in which the ID Controller is operated.

1. Degradation of elements due to overcurrents and overvoltages

2. Degradation of elements due to long-term stress caused by using ID Controller at high temperatures

3. Degradation of insulation and faulty connector contact due to humidity and dust

■ TAT (Turn Around Time)

• The TAT depends on the type of Data Carrier being used (with or without a built-in battery).

• The TAT of Data Carriers without batteries also depends on the communications mode setting.

• The TAT is the total time required for the host device to receive a response after it has finished sending a command.

TAT = Command send time + Data Carrier communications time + Response reception time

Command send time

Data Carrier communications time

: The time required to send a command from the host device to the ID Controller.

The command send time depends on the baud rate and communications format.

: The time required for communications processing between the Read/Write

Head and Data Carrier. Refer to the next page to find the values.

Response reception time

: The time required to return a response to the host device from the ID

Controller. The command send time depends on the baud rate and communications format.
