Manual Page 5 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide 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.
Manual Page 6 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide The connection of the cables (power supply and data transfer) is done inside of the connection cab (SAB Cab). Together with an sealing element a protection classification of IP 65 is guaranteed. By means of the integrated antenna the reader generates an alternating magnetic field, which powers the transponder.
Manual Page 7 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide 4 Installation To get the specified reading performance it is necessary to do the installation carefully step by step as it is described in the following Chapters. All the work must be done by well educated people. 4.1 Mounting of the Housing The reader can be mounted to any other mechanic construction. It is recommended to protect the housing against heavy mechanical interactions.
Manual Page 8 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide Inside of the SAB Cap there are the pins of following connections: • power supply • data link to the serial interface RS232 The codes to order the SAB Cabs and preassembled cables are listed below: ID 70212 ID 70213 ID 70221 ID 70215 ID 70219 SAB-Cab incl. one PG9 cable pipe and 5 wire cable (standard cable) SAB-Cab incl. one PG9 cable pipe and 5 wire cable / Sub D 9 Connector (Service Cable) SAB-Cab incl.
Manual Page 9 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide 4.3.3 Mounting of the Power Supply Cable The power supply cable must be mounted in following steps: • Remove all inner parts from the cable pipe at the SAB Cab (1) ( nut (5), pipe(4) and cable fastener (3)) (see Figure 4-2) • Put all the removed parts ( nut (5), pipe (4), cable fastener (3)) and the cable pipe of the SAB Cab as well (1 to 4) to the cable.

Instead of an 2-wire power supply cable there is now an 5-wire data cable needed. The diameter of the inner wires must be big enough to keep the voltage drop in the specified range.
Manual Page 11 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide 4.3.5 Final Assembly of the Cable Pipe • Pull by and by all the cable back, until the isolation of the cables are near to beginning of the cable pipes. • Fasten nuts (5) of the cable pipes with the right tool (17mm). • Do this carefully, to ensure the tightness of the protection class of IP 65.. • Plug the finished assembled MINI-COMBICON-Connector to the SAB Cab. Take care of the correct coding ((7) in Figure 4-2) of the connectors.

Manual Page 15 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide 6 Settings of the Reader / Most Important Parameters The default value of the operating mode parameter is 2.. • MD 2 • MD 0 6.1 triggered by an software command – default value continuos mode 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 (13h).
Manual Page 16 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide After entering a valid command together with a parameter value, the system answers by sending the parameter value and . Example: Command: Output: MD 2 2 After entering an invalid parameter value, the system answers with the corresponding error code Parameter settings can be queried by sending the command without adding an parameter value.

Input format: EC parameter Parameter: v 0 1 6.7 Function echo on echo off Output (example): 0 Note: The default value of the parameter EC depends on the particular reader. BD- Baudrate The command BD enables the change of the baud rate. The settings are effective after a warm start using the RST command.
Manual Page 20 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide 6.8 TOR – Maximum Reading Time Timeout for the reader. TOR is used in operation mode 2 as maximum gating time for a reading process . The length of the maximum gating time results from the equation gating_time = TOR * TB. The time constant TB (Time Base) has always the default value 100ms.
Manual Page 21 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide 7 Operating Modes of the Reader There are two operational modes defined: • Mode 2 The reading process is triggered by an software command coming from the serial interface. • Mode 0 Continuos read. If there is an read/write transponder used, the serial number of the transponder is always read. . 7.1 Mode 2 – Triggered by an Software Command In operating mode 2, the exciter is always turned off.

Manual Page 23 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide 7.1.2 Basic Data Exchange Process The master has to send an software command to start an read or write process of the reader. After doing all the necessary work at the readers site, the result of the reading or writing process or an failure code is sent back to the master. If there is used an read/write transponder, only the serial number of the transponder will be read if the basic read command „Get Tag“ („GT “) is applied.
Manual Page 24 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide 7.1.4.2 Selective Read RD • • • Start the reader with the command RD plus Parameters ( plus ). see example below. - You can read out one block of the transponders memory, if the address of only one . block is sent to the reader. – You can read out several blocks, if the first and the last block to read is sent to the reader. So it’s also possible to read out the whole memory of the transponder.

Writing process was successful Writing process was not successful. The response of the transponder was not readable. The result of the writing process may also seen at the LED’s. • LED L2 lit, if there was a successful write • LED L3 lit, if there was no successful write.
Manual Page 26 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide 7.2 Operating Mode 0 - Continuous Reading When operating continuously the exciter is switched on permanently. The reading cycles are initiated periodically. After an accomplished reading cycle the reading information is evaluated. After that data (either transponder number or NoRead code) is output to the serial interface exciter processor reading cycle interface reading cycle ID reading cycle ID ID Figure 7.

Manual Page 28 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide 8 Instructions 8.1 General Instructions To avoid any reduction of the reading distance of the reader, the housing 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 reader and transponder must be within the specified reading volume.
Manual Page 29 / 33- Revision 01 ARE I2 / RS 232 – Installation Guide 8.2 Special Instructions for Using a Read / Write System To transfer the data to the transponder or to control the selective read process, all standard transponder types uses a 100%-pulse-gap-modulation technique. The modulation of the magnetic field comming from the transponder and the write pattern done by the base station, shows a lot of similarities. Therefore, read write systems may interfere each other.
