Introduction
4.1.
The UHF Gate ID ISC.ANT.U500/270 - DM
The ID ISC.ANT.U500/270 –DM contains the ID ISC.LRU1002 Long Range Reader. The ID
ISC.ANT.U500/270 –DM is a combined reader/ antenna UHF RFID system. The ID
ISC.ANT.U500/270 –DM is able to detect the moving direction of a transponder. In comparison to
the ID ISC.LRU1002 the ID ISC.ANT.U500/270 - DM has a total different firmware. On the one
hand the ID ISC.ANT.U500/270 - DM has some new features which are not supported by the cur-
rent ID ISC.LRU1002, on the other hand the ISC.ANT.U500/270 - DM does not support all features
of the ID ISC.LRU1002. Therefore the system does not support all register settings which are
known from the ID ISC.LRU1002. The new register settings of the ID ISC.ANT.U500/270 - DM can
be found in Configuration 8.
The base set of commands and features are compatible with the commands used throughout the
product line. The configuration possibilities of the ISC.ANT.U500/270 - DM make it easy to adapt
the reader to a wide range of applications by software and hardware configurations.
The reader has two hardware interface ports: Ethernet and USB.

Data Transmission between ID ISC.ANT.U500/270-DM and Host
Four different ways of data transmission between ®Readers and host (terminal, PC) are possible.
The, Buffered Read Mode and Notification Mode are used for the data exchange between Tran-
sponder and host, whereas the Configuration Commands and the Reader Control Commands
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:

5.1.
Configuration Commands and Control Commands
This method of data transmission is used for Reader configuration and the diagnosis via the differ-
ent Hardware Interfaces of the Reader.
The Reader-configuration parameters will be stored in the Reader memory. To store the current
configuration during a power down of the Reader the Reader-Configuration has to 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 contains status or
data information of the control command.

5.2.
Buffered Read Mode
The Buffered Read Mode is a high level operating mode to detect Transponders which are within
the detection range of the Reader. This operation mode processes all Transponder read data and
filter operations to make the user interface transparent to Transponder data and to minimize data
transfers between Reader and host. There are only three commands used to control Buffered
Read Mode.
In this operating mode the Reader automatically selects Transponders which are within the detec-
tion range of the Reader and reads their requested data. The read Transponder data is stored in a
‘FIFO’ organized data buffer.
The sampled Transponder data can be read with the 12.4. [0x22] Read Buffer command. This
command always reads the first available data sets from the data buffer. However data already
read have to be deleted with the 12.6. [0x32] Clear Data Buffer command before the next data sets
in the data buffer can be reached with the read command.
If the Buffered Read Mode is enabled in the 7.2. CFG1: Interface and Mode configuration block the
Reader immediately starts sampling Transponder data after power up. The Buffered Read Mode
can be reinitialized with the 12.7. [0x33] Initialize Buffer command.
If turned to Buffered Read Mode the Reader answers every valid message with data- or status-
protocol. The answer includes the control byte which has been received by the Reader.

5.3.
Notification Mode
The Notification Mode is an extended option of the Buffered Read Mode: queued Transponder
data and optionally Input / Status events are notified automatically and asynchronously to a host
with the 12. Protocols for Buffered Read Mode and Notification Mode response protocol. The des-
tination address and the notification conditions can be set in 7.21. CFG49: Notification Channel
configuration block. In general, the notification channel can be used simultaneously with the host
interface.
In difference to the Buffered Read Mode procedure, a notification is normally not acknowledged by
the host. Thus, the deletion of the transferred data with the 12.6. [0x32] Clear Data Buffer com-
mand is not necessary. As an option, the acknowledgement can be enabled to synchronize the
notifications with the host to prevent notification overflow in the host application.
The notification message format depends and settings for the read mode in 7.9. CFG11: Read
Mode –Read Data as well as settings for the notification trigger in7.21. CFG49: Notification Chan-
nel.
An additional option of the Notification Mode is the Keepalive message, which can be sent periodi-
cally to the host. The Keepalive message transports valuable information about the reader hard-
ware and antenna tuning status. Keepalive messages are always never acknowledged by the host.
The Keepalive message should not be mistaken with the keepalive option of a LAN connection
initiated by a host.

Interface
The ID ISC.ANT.U500/270-DM has 2 interface ports. The protocol frame of these ports can be
different. On the whole protocol frame is described in 6.2. Serial Data Format and Protocol Fra-
mes. The TCP/IP protocol frame is described below.

6.1.
Characteristics of TCP/IP protocol
If the Reader uses the LAN interface the data is packaged in TCP/IP protocol frames. This means
the whole data format and protocol frame which is described in 6.2. Serial Data Format and Proto-
col Frames is packaged as the data of TCP/IP protocol frames.
If you use the TCP/IP protocol please be aware that the data packaged in the TCP/IP frame is
transferred with Protocol frame: Advanced Protocol-Length as describe below.
The LAN socket on the reader side uses the keepalive option for detecting interrupted connec-
tions. The default parameters for keepalive are initialized as listed in the table:
Parameter
Value
Note
idle time
5 seconds
The reader sends every 5 seconds a keepalive probe which has to be
acknowledged by the client
repeat count
2
If a keepalive probe is not acknowledged, the reader repeats the
probe only two times with an interval of 5 seconds.
interval
5 second
If the 15 second time span is expired and no keepalive probe response is obtained from the client
the connection is closed and the client application must enable a new connection. The keepalive
parameters can be modified in the configuration pages for LAN. This keepalive option should not
be mistake with the Keepalive message for notification mode.

Serial Data Format and Protocol Frames
The ID ISC.ANT.U500/270-DM can be configured by different interfaces and data may be written
on Transponders or read from Transponders. The communication between Reader and connected
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 contains the transmitted control byte.
There is no reply from the Reader if there is a protocol frame failure.
