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 guar-  
anteed.  
By means of the integrated antenna the reader generates an alternating magnetic field, which  
powers the transponder. Coded signals sent back from the transponder are received and de-  
coded by the reader  
The reader is fully controlled by an Master with RS 232 data port, while using the integrated  
serial RS 232 Interface of the reader.  
The side of the housing showing the antenna symbol must not be brought next to a metal sur-  
face. This could lead to a significant change of the properties of the antenna circuit, which in  
turn reduces the reading range considerably.  
Environmental electromagnetic noise may also reduce the specified reading performance.  
Special hints to overcome these problems are documented in Chapter 8.

Start-up Procedure  
The start-up procedure of the reader system is split up to following steps:  
mounting of the reader and pin connection (cabling), see Chapter 4  
operational instructions, see Chapter 7  
To get a feeling how the IdentSystem will work, first start the reader controlled by the se-  
rial interface (RS 232) of an isolated PC.  
The next step is to integrate the reader to the operating network.

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.  
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.  
4.2 Grounding of the Reader  
To get reliable reading results, the reader must be grounded. The connector is place at the side  
of the housing (6.35 mm flat contact).  
To avoid EMV-problems, the cable to ground ought to be very short with low impedance.  
Attention! The topology of the ground wires must be done in the right way (according state of  
art).  
4.3 Assemblage of the Line Connectors  
The connection of the power supply and data transfer cables are done by using the connectors  
of the SAB Cab. The Assemblage inside of the SAB Cab is described in Chapter 4.3.1 to  
4.3.7.

6.1 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 <CR> (13h). The control character serves as com-  
mand line terminator.  
Command codes and parameters, that means all letters and numerical values, are princi-  
pally transmitted as a sequence of ASCII characters (the value 255 (decimal) consequently  
as 32H, 35H, 35H; the command RST as 52H, 53H, 54H).  
The protocol format is as follows  
command <SP> parameter <CR>  
The space character <SP> separates commands from parameters and the <CR> character  
acts as command line terminator.  
For commands without parameter values (e.g. GT ) the <SP> character and parameter val-  
ues are omitted. The command line is as short as this:  
command <CR>.  
Generally, every input terminated by <CR> is acknowledged by the reader. The following  
response protocols are different:

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 <CR>. Example:  
Command: MD <SP> 2 <CR>  
Output:  
2 <CR>  
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. Example:  
Command: MD <CR>  
Output:  
1 <CR>  
If a single <CR> is input, the reader answers with a single <CR>. Example:  
Command: <CR>  
Output:  
<CR>  
Please note: If echo mode is active, a single <CR> forces the reader to output <CR> <CR>  
(echo plus output).  
6.2 Error Codes  
If a command is not entered correctly, the reader sends one of the following error codes:  
Wrong command: <NAK> #00 <CR>  
Wrong parameter: <NAK> #02 <CR>  
6.3 CID – Suppression of ID Codes  
With CID=1 only the first of in succession identical transponder numbers is output on the  
serial interface. The possibly following identical transponder numbers are suppressed, as  
long as no new valid transponder number is received, processed and output. NoReads do  
not influence the data filtering.

Caution:  
The internal reference number is deleted in the following conditions:

after a warm start  
after entering the command line CID <SP> 1 <CR>  
This causes that the next transponder code is output definitely.  
The filter function CID picks up the results of the complete reading  
cycles, while the parameter NID proceeds from the results of single  
readings! The filter function CID has effect on the serial interface  
only.

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. Triggered by the software command  
(GT; RD ; WD), the exciter is activated. After successful reading or writing of a transponder  
number the exciter is turned off automatically.

If the first reading cycle yields no result (NoRead), the on-time of the exciter is limited by  
the parameter TOR (time out reader): Reading cycles are continuously started until either a  
transponder is read successfully or the time span corresponding to the value of the pa-  
rameter TOR has expired. The reader will not interrupt the last running readout cycle. If no  
transponder number has been read, a NoRead is output.

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 proc-  
ess 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 <CR>“) is applied.  
The data exchange of the whole memory can only be done, if the reader is set to the Mode 2 (  
„selective Read (RD) “ and „write (WD)“).

7.1.4.2 Selective Read RD  
Start the reader with the command RD plus Parameters ( plus <CR>). 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.

7.1.4.3 Writing Process WD  
The memory of the transponder is organised in blocks, containing 32 bits. The data’s of every  
single block must be changed separately.  
Start the reader with the command WD plus Parameters ( plus <CR>). See also example  
below.  
The sent parameter consists of the block address and writing data’s (8 ASCII characters).  
Note! There must be a blank between the block address and the writing data’s..

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 speci-  
fied reading volume.  
The reading characteristic in front of the reader is not isotropic. It depends also strongly on the  
orientation between Reader and Transponder. To get the maximum reading distance, the ori-  
entation between reader and transponder must be well suited. The best orientation depends on  
the type of antenna inside of the housing ( ferrite – type or plane coil type) and the applied  
transponder (disc or glass transponder)  
To get a reliable readings or writings, the time of transponder while crossing the sensitive area  
of the antenna must be co-ordinated to the data transfer characteristics of transponder  
In general the time depends on the speed of the transponder, the size of the transponder and  
the way the transponder is mounted on the vehicle and must be verified by field tests.  
Environmental electromagnetic noise may also reduce the read and write range considerably.  
Arrangement to eliminate such troubles must be done specific to the application by the help of  
engineers of the manufacturer.

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 do-  
ne by the base station, shows a lot of similarities. Therefore, read write systems may interfere  
each other.  
The minimum distance between two antennas mounted next to each other and the size of the  
interference must be determined for each application itself.  
Below there are listed several parameters that will influence the size of the interaction:  
size of the antennas  
orientation of the antennas (f.e. parallel or rectangular to each other)  
size of transponder; distance between transponder and antenna  
the chronological orders for reading or writing.
