1 Introduction This document will describe the components of the Compact Reader System ARE i2 / RS 232 and the procedure how to do the first set up of the reader. The main features of the reader are listed below: • integrated USB Interface with tunable baudrate • the allowed supply voltage is 9 to 30V DC • low power consumption of reader < 1.
It is recommended to protect the housing against heavy mechanical interactions and drippy fluids. Attention! The side of the housing showing the antenna symbol must not be brought next to a metal surface. This could lead to a significant change of the properties of the antenna circuit, which in turn reduces the reading range considerably. With the help of the plastic bars, the reader can mounted or screwed on to the most fastening elements without open the housing of the device. 3.
1 B 2 A Figure 1: Connecting of the plug Put on the sealing 2 to the SAB Cab (A). Plug in the SAB Cab to the connector at the bottom of the reader device (B). There is only one way to plug in the SAB Cab to the connector rim of the reader. Fasten the SAB Cab with the help of the screws. To meet the protection class of IP 65, it’s necessary to apply a turning moment of 0.5 Nm to the screws. 3.3 Connecting of the power supply cable The reader has to be supplied with 9..30V DC.
3.3.2 Using a self assembled connecting cable Using the following SAB cabs you can assemble your own connecting cable. ID 70211 SAB cab with 1 PG9 cable pipe ID 70215 SAB cab with 2 pre-assembled cable pipes ID 70219 SAB cab without any cable pipe ID 1002237 pc connection cable for ARE i2- USB ID 1002373 pc connection cable for ARE i2- USB with power supply 12V You can use any shielded five-pole cable. The allowed diameter of the cable must be in the range from ∅3,5 to ∅8mm.
3.3.2.2 Mounting of the cable The cable must be mounted in following steps: • Remove all inner parts from the cable pipe at the SAB Cab (1) ( nut (5), cable fastener (3), pipe(4)) (see Figure 3) • Put all the removed parts (nut (5), cable fastener (3), pipe (4),) and the cable pipe of the SAB Cab as well (1 to 4) to the cable. 5 4 3 Cable 6 1 7 Figure 3: Mounting for the cable • Remove the outer isolation of the cable at a length of 6cm .
3.3.2.
3.4 Mounting of the external antenna / of the AMP 4 / AMP 8 If you have an i2 with external antenna the connector is on the topside of the reading device. You just have to plug the antenna into the connector and bold it on. Alternative you can connect an AMP 4 / AMP 8 with this connector, too. You may not connect or deconnect an antenna or AMP 4 / AMP 8 while the reader is running. It can cause, that the reader hangs up.
4 Visual signal lamps To show the operational state or results there are 5 LED at the side of the housing. BFH ID L1: twinkles, if the processor works.
5 AEG ID instruction set 5.1 General The command set described below defines the transfer of data on the serial interface. The commands consist of a command code and optionally of a parameter value. Commands are terminated by the control character (0Dh). The control character serves as command line terminator.
5.1.2 Output format Generally, every input terminated by is acknowledged by the reader. The following response protocols are different: 5.1.2.1 Instruction specific output After entering a valid command without a parameter value, the system answers by sending the parameter value and .

6 Operating Modes of the Reader There are two operational modes defined: • MD 0 - continuous mode • MD 2 - the reading process is triggered by the serial interface In the next capters can you find a detailed functional description. The default mode is MD 0. 6.1 MD 2 - Triggered by an Software Command The master sends the command to read a transponder code. The reader answers with the code or an error code.
TOR exciter processor interface reading cycle reading cycle reading cycle GT NoRead reading process Figure 8: Software triggered reading operation with TOR>0 Please note: The TOR parameter is only active, if the GT-Command is applied. Within the time span defined by the value of TOR no NoRead will be output on the interface! 6.2 MD 0 - Continuous Reading When operating continuously the exciter is switched on permanently. The reading cycles are initiated periodically.
7 Startup and testing the reader • Connect the reader via cable with the serial interface (COM) from your notebook or pc. • Connect the reader with your power supply (9..30V DC). Look after the polarity! • Switch the power supply on. The yellow LED OP of the reader starts to blink. • Start your terminal programme. You have to set the following settings: 8 data bits, 1 start bit und 1 stop bit, no parity check (often called 8N1), baud rate 19200 baud, no flow control(e.g. XOFF/XON).
8 Instructions To avoid any reduction of the reading distance of the reader, the antenna must not be brought next to a metal surface. This could lead to a significant change of the properties of the antenna circuit, which in turn reduces the reading range considerably! To get reliable readings, the distance between antenna and transponder must be within the specified reading volume. The reading characteristic in front of the antenna is not isotropic.
