Chapter 1 Product Intro 1.1 Intro Chainway UR4 is a high-performance four-channel fixed UHF reader. The core chip adopts Impinj R2000 module with high integration and excellent performance.
1.2 Brief UR4 has adopted DC 12V/5A power supply, it can be equipped with multiple types of antennas with different output power such as 6dBi, 9dBi. Also UR4 has adopted reverse SMA female port, RS232 and RJ45 interfaces, Windows SDK and demo are provided.
1.3 Device List 1. UR4 fixed reader, 12V/5A power adaptor. 2. UHF antennas: 6dBi, 9dBi, etc. 3. Feeder line that has adopted with reverse SMA port, the port on other side needs to be equipped with antenna. 4. RJ45 Ethernet cable. 5. Serial port cable. 6. Demo software, it includes 4 necessary files and UHFAPP.exe is execute program as pic. 1. Pic.
1.4 Device installation UR4 can be connected as Pic.2. PC can connect with device by serial port cable (communication velocity is 115200bps). Also it can be connected by Ethernet cable through RJ45 port. (Default IP address of UR4 is 192.168.99.202, Port is 8888). PC needs to be set with UR4 in same network segment and PC could connect with multiple UR4 devices through switchboard or similar. One UR4 can be connected with 4 antennas at maximum.
2、IO3-4：Controllable by software, maximum switching voltage of electric relay is 220Vdc，250Vac； 3、IO5：Optically coupled 1 input LED+, voltage range between IO5 and IO6 is 3-5.5V, maximum current is 50mA； 4、IO6：Optically coupled 1 input LED-, voltage range between IO5 and IO6 is 35.5V, maximum current is 50mA； 5、IO7：Optically coupled 2 input LED+, voltage range between IO7 and IO8 is 3-5.5V, maximum current is 50mA； 6、IO8：Optically coupled 2 input LED-, voltage range between IO7 and IO8 is 35.
2.2 Parameter Setup Double click UHFAPP.exe to enter software, and connect with device through serial port line. Select Mode to “SerialPort”, select COM to according serial port on PC. Click “Open” to connect with device, initiation page is as follows: If RJ45 has been used as connection, communication Mode needs to be selected as “network” and input IP address and port number (default IP address is 192.168.99.202, Port is 8888.) Then click “Open” to connect PC and device.

After device has connected with PC, the parameters on interface will be empty. Click “Get” on each option to collect device parameters. Click “Set” on the page, user can adjust necessary parameters, some parameters are default values. Output power can be set in range of 5 dBm to 30 dBm as following picture, after select value, click “Set” button. If “Save” has been selected, current parameters will be saved after power off device.
Set continuous wave: There are two work modes can be selected, “command mode” and “auto mode”. Under “command mode”, user could collect tag data in “Read EPC” page, click “Start” to send command to device on PC, click “Stop” to stop collecting tag data. Under “auto mode”, user could collect tag data in “UDP-ReceiveEPC” page, click “Start” to receive data, click “Stop” to stop receiving data. After selecting “auto mode”, the device needs to be restarted.
Set IP address and make sure PC and device have used in same segment. For example, if IP address of PC is 192.168.1.109, mask is 255.255.255.0, the device IP address can be set to 192.168.1.201, port number doesn’t need to be changed. Set antenna connection, there are 4 I/O ports on device and have been marked as ANT1, ANT2, ANT3, ANT4. User needs to select antenna which has been connected and click “set”.
Set FastID: Set TagFocus: Set protective temp.
Reset, click “Reset” button to restore device to default value. After reset, user needs to click “Close” and “Open” to reconnect the device. Set Buzzer, click “Open” to switch on buzzer function, device will play notification sound when reading tags. Set Gen2, this parameter needs to be adjusted by actual requirements.
Chapter 3 Read and Write EPC 3.1 Read EPC Click “ReadEPC” in menu to enter EPC page, click “Start” to read tags, click “Stop” to stop reading. The EPC, RSSI, Count number and ANT number (antenna channel) will be recorded in window as following pic: User could enter data in “Filter” to filter EPC of special tags, the maximum filter DL is 96 bits. User needs to setup data, initial address, data length and click “Set”.
3.2 Read & Write Tags Click “ReadW riteTag” to enter its page, TID area can be read only, RESERVED, EPC and USER areas can be read and written.
Click one option in “Read-write” window to enter tag reading mode, EPC will be automatically copied into “Data” block in filter, default option is EPC reading, click “Read” to read 12 bytes of EPC area.
For “RESERVED” area, user could read 4 words at maximum, previous 2 words are password of KILL function, last 2 words are access passwords: Read TID area: 18
Read USER area: Data could be written in EPC, RESERVED and USER areas, select according areas and input initial address, length, input data into “Data” window and click “Write” to write data into according areas.
3.3 Lock UHF Tag Click “Kill-Lock” in main menu to enter Tag locking function. For this function, user could execute “Lock”, “Kill”, “Open”, “Permanent Open” and “Permanent Lock”, to execute “Lock” function, password is needed. If user wants to kill UHF tag, need to enter password and tag will be wasted permanently.
3.4 UDP-ReceiveEPC After auto mode has been selected, restart device and select UDPReceiveEPC, click “Open” to connect device and select IP address of PC in address column, click “Stop” to stop receiving UHF tag data. If user needs to escape auto work mode, “command mode” needs to be selected in work mode.
3.5 Others Click “UHF information” in main menu to read hardware version and firmware version, click “Temperature” to read current temperature value of UHF module.
