1. Data Transmission between OBID® i-scan ID ISC.MR/PR/PRH101 and Host

Four different ways of data transmission between OBID® i-scan Readers and host (terminal, PC) are
possible. The ISO15693Host Commands and the Scan Mode are used for the data exchange be-
tween Transponder and host, whereas the Configuration Commands and the Control serves for
adapting the Reader parameters to the individual range of applications. The following chart shows
which method of data transmission is supported by which interface:

asynchronous interface
(RS232 / RS485)
Configuration Commands √
Control Commands √
ISO15693Host Commands √
Scan-Mode √

1.1. Configuration Commands and Control Commands

This method of data transmission is used for Reader configuration and the diagnosis via the asyn-
chronous interface or USB.
The Reader-configuration parameters will be stored in the Reader memory. To store the current confi-
guration during a power down of the Reader, the Reader-Configuration must be stored in the
EEPROM. After power up the Reader reads the configuration out of the EEPROM.
The Reader control is immediately processed and the response from the Reader contain status or
data information of the control command.

1.2. ISO15693 Host Commands

The ISO Host Commands provides the exchange of data between a host and Transponders via the
Reader as long as the Transponder remains in the detection range of the Reader.
Note:
During the writing of data on a Transponder, it must be ensured that the Transponder is lo-
cated within the detection range of the Reader during the entire process. If the Transponder is
removed from the detection range of the Reader during a writing process, this will cause a loss
of data.

The Reader distinguishes between three different modes:

Addressed mode:
Before reading or writing data in addressed mode, the UID of the Transponder must be
known. This is executed by sending the protocol “6.1.1. [0x01] Inventory If a Transponder is
located within the detection range of the Reader at that time, it answers with its UID. For all
following read- / write orders the Transponder must be addressed with its correct UID.
The following chart will show the necessary steps for the communication with a Transponder
in addressed mode:

Host (Terminal / PC / ....) Reader

Inventory → Transponder in antenna field ?
to get the UID
Yes No
← status / status =
number of Trans- no Transponder
ponders / UID
←
read data from Transponder with UID → Transponder with
correct UID in antenna field ?
Yes No
← status / status =
Transponder read no Transponder
data in Reader field
←
write data to Transponder with UID → Transponder with
correct UID in antenna field ?
Yes No
← OK status status =
no Transponder
in Reader field
←

OBID i-scan System-Manual ID ISC.MR/PR/PRH101

Non-addressed mode:
In non-addressed mode, it is not necessary to know the UID of the Transponder. This mode is
useful, if only one Transponder is located within the range of the Reader.
The following chart will show the necessary steps for the communication with a Transponder
in non-addressed mode:

Host (Terminal / PC / ....) Reader

read data → Transponder in antenna field ?
Yes No
← status / status = no Trans-
Transponder read ponder
data in Reader field
←
write data → Transponder in antenna field ?
Yes No
← OK status status = no Trans-
ponder
in Reader field
←

 ®
OBID i-scan System-Manual ID ISC.MR/PR/PRH101

Selected:
In this mode the Reader communicates only with the one, selected Transponder.
Before reading or writing data in selected mode, the UID of the Transponder must be known.
This is executed by sending at first the protocol “6.1.1. [0x01] Inventory“. In a second step the
Transponder must be selected with the select command (see: 6.1.6. [0x25] Select) which
must include its UID.
The following chart will show the necessary steps for the communication with a Transponder
in selected mode:

Host (Terminal / PC / ....) Reader

Inventory → Transponder in antenna field ?
to get the UID
Yes No
← status / status =
number of Trans- no Transponder
ponders / UID
←
select Transponder with UID → Transponder with the
correct UID in antenna field ?
Yes No
← status / status =
Transponder read no Transponder
data in Reader field
←
read data → selected Transponder in antenna field ?
Yes No
← status / status =
Transponder read no Transponder
data in Reader field
←
write data → selected Transponder in antenna field ?
Yes No
← OK status status =
no Transponder
in Reader field

1.3. Scan-Mode

In this operation-mode the Reader autonomously sends out data to the host as soon as a Transpond-
er is within the detection range and valid data could be read.
In Scan Mode the contents of the message block (UID, data block) can be adapted to each user-
application. Scan mode is available via the asynchronous Interface and the USB Interface.
If an USB-Reader is used in scan mode, the reader sends its data automatically over the HID interface
of the operating system. In this case, you cannot catch the data with the FEUSB.DLL or any other li-
braries. The reader works like a keyboard. (see also: 3.7. CFG6: Scan-Mode1).
The Reader starts the output of the protocol block as soon as all required data have been read cor-
rectly from the Transponder. If the number of transmitted user data is too large, only the maximal
number of transmitted data will be sent plus the end character.

Scan-Mode via asynchronous interface:

The data will be sent out depending on their configuration according to the following scheme,
the sequence of which cannot be changed.
Depending to the configuration and the number of Transponders in the detection range of the
Reader the transmitted protocols have a different format.
Example 1:
One Transponder in detection range and UID and data block should be read:
PR SC UID SC data EC PR SC UID
protocol block ts + tr

protocol cycle

Example 2:
3 Transponder in detection range only UID should be read:
PR SC UID1 EC UID2 EC UID3 EC

Example 3:
3 Transponder in detection range only data block should be read:
PR SC data1 EC data2 EC data3 EC

Example 4:
2 Transponder in detection range UID and data block should be read:
PR SC UID1 SC data1 EC UID2 SC data2 EC

PR: Com-Prefix (optional) ts: SCAN-LOCK-TIME

UID: Serial-Number. (fix) tr: time to the next new Transponder reading
data: data blocks (free programmable)
SC Separation character (optional)
EC End character (optional)

ADR 1 2 3

(Extended Header and tail only for ID ISC.MR/PR/PRH101-A, PRH101-B from firmware version 1.3)

Scan-Mode via USB-Interface (HID-Mode):

If an USB-Reader is set to Scan-Mode the reader works like a keyboard. The data will be transferred
as USB Key Code or as hex-values.
The user defined Sep- and End- Character will be transfered as USB Key Code.
If the number of transmitted user data is too large, only the maximal number of transmitted data will be
sent plus the end character. (see: 3.7. CFG6: Scan-Mode1)

Note:
• If configuration protocols shall be sent to the Reader while the Scan-Mode is active, no
Transponder should be within the detection range of the Reader during this time.
• Only read operations are available with the Scan-Mode.

2. Asynchronous Interface

2.1. Data Format and Protocol Frames

The Reader ID ISC.MR/PR/PRH101 can be configured by an asynchronous interface and data may be
written on Transponders or read from Transponders. The communication between Reader and con-
nected host (terminal, PC, etc.) is executed by means of fixed protocols. The used protocol is intended
for data bus use and is equipped with a bus address.
During data transfer via the asynchronous interface the Reader supplies the required data or a status
byte. The reply contain the transmitted control byte.
There is no reply from the Reader if there is a protocol frame failure.

The Reader supports both Protocol frames, standard and advanced protocol frame. The Host applica-
tion can chose which protocol frame is used. If the host application chose advanced protocol frame the
Reader will always response with advanced protocol frame. If the host application chose the Standard
Protocol frame the Reader’s response will depend on the length of the response. If the host request
leads to a response with more than 255 Byte the Reader will chose the advanced protocol frame as
response frame otherwise the Reader response uses the standard protocol frame.
Information on

STX:
If the responded protocol of the Reader starts with the STX sign (0x02) the protocol
includes more than 255 Byte. Then the protocol length is defined by the 2 Byte Pa-
rameter ALENGTH.
ALENGTH (n = 8...65535):
Number of protocol bytes including STX, ALENGTH and CRC16
LENGTH (n = 6...255): Standard Protocol-Length (up to 255 Byte)
Number of protocol bytes including LENGTH and CRC16.
COM-ADR:
0..254 address of device in bus mode
Note:
The Reader can be addressed via COM-ADR 255 at any time!
CONTROL-BYTE:
Defines the command which the Reader should operate.
STATUS:
Includes the status message or protocol data from or to the Reader. The data will be
sent always as MSB first if the Reader is in the ISO15693Host Command Mode (see
also: ANNEX I: Examples for Read Data.)
DATA:
Is a optional data field with variable length. The number of DATA byte depends on
the command. The data will be sent always as MSB first if the Reader is in the Host
Command Mode.
CRC16:
Cyclic redundancy check of the protocol bytes from 1 to n-2, as specified by CCITT-
CRC16
Polynom x16 + x12 + x5 + 1
Start Value 0xFFFF

C-Example:
unsigned int crc = CRC_PRESET;

for (i = 0; i < cnt; i++) /* cnt = number of protocol bytes without CRC */
{
crc ^= DATA[i];
for (j = 0; j < 8; j++)
{
if (crc & 0x0001)
crc = (crc >> 1) ^ CRC_POLYNOM;
else
crc = (crc >> 1);

3. Configuration Parameters (CFG)

The configuration memory of the Reader is organized in configuration blocks of 16 byte each. These
are divided into 14-byte configuration parameters and a 2-byte CRC16 checksum. Each of these con-
figuration blocks takes a number (CFG 0...CFG n).
Structure of a configuration block in Reader configuration memory and Reader EEPROM (CFG):
Byte 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Contents PARAMETER CRC16

The parameters are stored in two different configuration memory locations:

• Reader RAM
• Backup EEPROM (used for storing parameter after power down)
Multiple configuration memory locations can be addressed by the value of the parameter CFG-ADR
used in chapter 4. Protocols for Reader Configuration
CFG-ADR:
CFGn: memory-address of the required configuration block
LOC: specifies the location of the configuration block (RAM / EEPROM)
MODE: specifies one or all configuration blocks

Bit: 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Function LOC MODE CFGn: address of configuration block

The EEPROM configuration blocks are protected by a 16 bit CRC-checksum. The examination of
these checksums is executed after each reset of the Reader. If a checksum error is found, the Reader
goes into an error status "EE-Init-Mode" and sets the configuration block which is faulty to the default
values.
While the EE-Init-Mode is active, the LED blinks alternately red and green and the Reader answers
external commands with the status "0x10 EEPROM Failure". The "EE-Init-Mode" can be exited now by
a new reset (cold start or 5.3. [0x63] CPU Reset command). If after this the checksums of all data
records are correct, the Reader shifts to the configured operation mode.

Notes:
• Malfunctions may occur if parameters are configured outside their described range or if
unspecified parameters have been changed!
• A firmware update resets the EEPROM to default settings and the Reader goes into the er-
ror status “EE-Init-mode”.

3.1. CFG0: Passwords

The parameters of the CFG0 configuration block contain the identification codes to personalize the
Reader for a user to prevent outside access to some features of the Reader. For security reasons data
from this configuration block cannot be read from the host, they are “write-only”. Also the command
4.4. [0x83] Set Default Configuration isn’t available for this configuration block.

READER-ID: (AccessProtection.Password)
Defines the password with which the host logs into the Reader for a read / write access to the
configuration parameter blocks.
CFG_ACCESS: (AccessProtection.Lock_CFGx)
Defines the Configuration blocks which are accessible only if the user has had a successful
login to the Reader.

OBID i-scan System-Manual ID ISC.MR/PR/PRH101

To change the READER-ID you must write to the CFG0 immediately after the Login to the Reader
with the command 5.10. [0xA0] Reader-Login
Notes:

• A READER-ID = 0x00000000 disables the password function.

• A read with the command 4.1. [0x80] Read Configuration will always get
‘0x00000000’.
• A changed password becomes valid after a Reader reset.

• The commands 4.3. [0x82] Save Configuration and 4.4. [0x83] Set Default Configura-
tion don’t change the CFG0 register if all configuration blocks are used.

• The command 5.10. [0xA0] Reader-Login is used to enable configuration data

access.
• It is possible to disable the READER-ID with an activation code, if the READER-ID is
unknown. The activation code must be ordered by your supplier or FEIG Electronic
GmbH.

Config Protection
The access to the configuration parameters is stored within the Reader. It is protected with a 32-bit
password, the "READER-ID". This means that only after a "Login" with a valid READER-ID by using
the command 5.10. [0xA0] Reader-Login the configuration parameters in the EEPROM of the Reader
may be read and changed in the EEPROM of the Reader.

minimized.

Note:
The I-Code EPC, I-Code UID and EPC G2 HF tag driver must be released with
the command “Set Firmware Upgrade” first. For this you have to use the demo
program ID ISOStart and the Upgrade Code must be ordered by Feig Elec-
tronic.

• Each I-Code 1 and I-Code EPC/UID Transponder responds in a chosen timeslot. Choosing
too much timeslots compared to the number of Transponders in the antenna field causes
that only a small number of Transponders can be selected at one time. On the other hand
are too many timeslots very time consuming. The optimum number of timeslots is about
twice the number of Transponders expected in the antenna field at the same time.

SCAN-LOCK-TIME: (1 ... 65535 * 100 ms = 100 ms ... 6553,5 sec)

(OperatingMode.ScanMode.Filter.TransponderValidTime)
The SCAN-LOCK-TIME defines the period in which the Reader does not transmit the Trans-
ponder data a second time, after it has transmitted it the first time. (regardless whether the
Transponder is in the detection range of the reader during SCAN-LOCK-TIME or not). The
SCAN-LOCK-TIME starts after the data transmission from the Transponder to the Reader.

tr : Time to read the Transponder data

to: Data Transmission from the Reader to the host
ts : SCAN-LOCK-TIME
As long as the SCAN-LOCK-TIME is active, the Transponder can be in the detection
range of the reader or outside of it.

DB-ADR: (OperatingMode.ScanMode.DataSource.FirstDataBlock)
Transponder address of the first data block which will be transferred in Scan-Mode.
Range: 0x00...0xFF.
See for valid addresses: ANNEX G: Memory Model I-Code 1 Transponders and 8.1. Sup-
ported ISO15693 Host commands for ISO15693 Transponders
D-LGT: (OperatingMode.ScanMode.DataSource.NoOfBytes)
D-LGT defines the length of raw data which are transmitted in the Scan-Mode.
Number of data bytes to be transferred, starting with the D-START.
Example:
data block
Byte 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Data 0x01 0x23 0x45 0x67 0x89 0xAB 0xCD 0xEF

D-START = 1

D-LGT = 4

Output Data 0x23 0x45 0x67 0x89

D-START: (OperatingMode.ScanMode.DataSource.FirstByte)
This parameter defines the first byte in the raw data (defined by DB-ADR and D-LGT), which
will be transferred in Scan-Mode. To transfer the whole data block D-START must be set to 0.
Note:
The size of one data block depends on the type of Transponder.

The maximum number of the transferred data bytes depends on the reader type and configuration
settings and the used sign type.

5.8. [0x71] Set Output

The command [0x71] is used for temporary limited or unlimited activation of the digital outputs or dis-
plays (LED, beeper) of the Reader.
Each output takes on the state defined by the byte "OS" for the period of time specified in the protocol.
The flashing frequency is defined by the byte "OSF". Via this protocol, the beeper and the LEDs can
be switched on or off for the indicated period of time. If the Reader receives a protocol "Set Output", all
times that have been active until then are overwritten by the new times specified in the protocol if they
are > 0.

6.1.1. [0x01] Inventory

This command reads the UID of all Transponders inside the antenna field. If the Reader has detected
a new Transponder, the Transponder will be automatically set to the quiet state by the Reader. In this
state the Transponder does not send back a response for the next inventory command.
The Transponder sends back a response every time:
• if the Transponder has left the antenna and reentered the antenna field or

• if a command was send to the Reader or

• if the ONT bit in the ONT register of the 3.6. CFG5: Anticollision configuration block is not set.

Response is sampled corresponding to ISO15693-3 T1 ( 318,6μs .... 323,3μs)
b0010(2) = write request with Option “0”
The Reader tries to sample the response after ISO15693-3 T1 ( 318,6μs ....
323,3μs). If there is no response the Reader tries to sample in a multiple of 302μs. If
there is no response within 20ms the command sends back Status “no. Transpond-
er” [0x01].
Depending on the ERROR_Flag in the Transponder response the length of the sam-
pled data is:
- 4 Byte if ERROR_FLAG is “1”.
– REP-LENGTH if ERROR_FLAG is “0”

 ®

b0011(3) = write request with Option “1”

The Reader tries to sample the response after ISO15693-3 T1 ( 318,6μs ....
323,3μs), if there is no response the Reader sends a EOF after EOF-PULSE-DELAY
and tries to sample the response after ISO15693-3 T1 ( 318,6μs .... 323,3μs)
b0100(4) = inventory request
The Reader tries to sample the response after ISO15693-3 T1 ( 318,6μs ....
323,3μs). If ISO15693 “Nb_slot_flag” Flag is:
“0” the Reader sends a EOF after EOF-PULSE-DELAY and tries again to sam-
ple the response in the next timeslot ( after ISO15693-3 T1 ( 318,6μs
.... 323,3μs)). This is done 16 times.
In this case the RSP-LENGTH defines the response length in one time-
slot. Transponder responses with other response length will be ignored.
If there is a CRC error in one of the timeslots the protocol status is set
to 0x02 [CRC error]. The user should calculate which Transponder data
hold the CRC error.
“1” the Reader sends back the received data.
b0101(5) = write request with Option “0” and grid position of response
The Reader tries to sample the response after ISO15693-3 T1 ( 318,6μs ....
323,3μs). If there is no response the Reader tries to sample at the time/grid specified
in MULTIPLE 302us GRIDS. If there is no response the command sends back Sta-
tus “no. Transponder” [0x01].
Depending on the ERROR_Flag in the Transponder response the length of the sam-
pled data is:
- 4 Byte if ERROR_FLAG is “1”.
- REP-LENGTH if ERROR_FLAG is “0”
HDR_RL: (from firmware version 1.04.06)
b0 Switch off use of High Data Rate(53kBit/s) for Return Link
b1 Switch on use of High Data Rate(53kBit/s) for Return Link

RSP-LENGTH:
Length of the Transponder response in bit without SOF and EOF. During write operations
REP-LENGTH is depending on ERROR_FLAG in the Transponder response:
- 4 Byte if ERROR_FLAG is “1”.
- – REP-LENGTH if ERROR_FLAG is “0”

reserved (CMD-RSP-DELAY)
In MR/PR/PRH protocol not used. To avoid problems with other OBID® i-scan Readers value
should be value of response delay for Transponder response (ISO15693: t1)
e.g. ISO15693 average value: 0x021F * 590ns = 320,9µs

EOF-PULSE-DELAY:
EOF Pulse delay is used in write operations with ISO15693 write option “1”. EOF to define
the in response delay for Transponder response (ISO15693: t1)
e.g. ISO15693 maximum value: 0x846A * 590ns = 20ms
REQUEST-DATA:
Complete Transponder request without SOF, CRC16 and EOF
Note:
• The read and write option FLAGS in the REQUEST-DATA must correspond to the
MODE Byte in the request protocol. Reader is always forcing the command in the
way specified by MODE Byte in the request protocol
RESPONSE-DATA:
Complete Transponder response without SOF and EOF. A CRC16 check is performed inside
the Reader. However the Transponder CRC16 is transferred with the response data.
Notes:

• Data is only transferred if STATUS = 0x00, 0x83, 0x94, 0x95.

• The response data ever contain the in RSP-LENGTH defined number of data bytes.

Note:

• This command is only available for ISO15693 Transponders.

• This command is not available if the Scan-Mode is witched on.

ten into the relevant section of the I-Code EPC/UID memory.

Notes:

• Only one Transponder may be in the RF-field. If more than one transponder in the field the
reader returns with status = [0x83] (RF Communication Error.)

• If the I-Code EPC doesn't match, the reader also answers with status = [0x83].

• If the command was not successfully (reader may continue read the I-Code EPC), the reader
answers with status = [0x03].

ANNEX B: Time Behavior of the Asynchronous Interface

The execution times of the asynchronous interface depend on:

• The extent of the data that needs to be read or written

• Type and amount of Transponders supported by the Reader

• Position of the Transponder at the time of the request

• Probable local electromagnetic interference present

• The success or failure of the request

ANNEX C: Time Behavior of ISO15693 Host Commands

The execution times for ISO15693 Host Commands depend on:

• Amount of Transponders in the antenna field (duration of anticollision process),

• The extent of the data that needs to be read or written

• Types of Transponders supported by the Reader,

• Position of the Transponder at the time of the requirement,

• Probable local electromagnetic interference present.

• Environment noise conditions

Time Behavior for I-Code 1 Transponders (only execution time)

All times apply to the following parameters: ISO15693 MODE = 0x0B (see 3.5. CFG4: Transponder
Parameters) and 3.6. CFG5: Anticollision.
• only the used Transponder driver active

• ONT = Only new Transponder will be send to the host

Time Behavior for [0x01] Inventory and ISO15693 Transponders

All times apply to the following parameters: ISO15693 MODE = 0x0B (see 3.5. CFG4: Transponder
Parameters) and 3.6. CFG5: Anticollision.

• AFI disabled
• 16 timeslots

• only ISO15693 Transponder driver active

• ONT = Only new Transponder will be send to the host

The modulation and the sub-carrier have a negligible influence on the reaction time.

The following diagrams shows the average value of timing behavior, dependent on the number of
Transponders. For certain UID’s the real timing can by higher or lower as show below.
The timing is measured inclusive of the communication time at 38,4Kbaud. A modified baud rate will
slightly increase the timing but the Inventory timing is mostly determined by anticollision so you may
neglect the communication time.

Please consider that the timing of the inventory command [0xB0 0x01] is influenced by the “More Bit”.
The “More Bit” is set if the number of Transponders exceeds 16. So if the “More Bit” is set in the re-
sponse of the Reader to the inventory command, the communication time is influenced by the speed
of the host system.
