Bank 00: Password Management
The segment Bank 00 contains the password management information,
comprising the access password and the kill password. The read/write head
manages the kill password with the standard read/write commands SW and SR.
The access password is not supported. see "Single Read Words SR" on page 33
and see "Single Write Words SW" on page 34.
Bank 01: UII/EPC
In addition to the Unique Item Identifier (UII), the segment Bank 01 contains a
calculated checksum CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) for verifying data on the
tag and the protocol control (PC) area. The PC area contains:
■The length of the UII
■The Application Family Identifier (AFI) box
■A bit switch that shows whether the UII contains an EPC sequence of
numbers in accordance with ISO (see chapter 4.2.6)
■A bit switch that shows whether data is stored in segment bank 11 (if
present)
The data is addressed via the following commands: single read special read-only
code (SS), single write special read-only code (SP), enhanced read special read-
only code (ES), and enhanced write special read-only code (EP). (see "Single
Read Special Read-Only Code SS" on page 31, see "Single Write Special Read-
Only Code SP" on page 32, see "Enhanced Read Special Read-Only Code ES"
on page 32, and see "Enhanced Write Special Read-Only Code EP" on page 33)
Bank 10: TID
The segment Bank 10 contains the tag identifier (TID), consisting of the part
number and serial number of the tag. This data is permanently stored without
being changed. The first byte denotes the class of the tag with E0hex, E2hex, or
E3hex. The rest of the TID depends on the class, and can be derived from
standard ISO/IEC 18000-63.
Example:
All tags with the class EPC Gen 2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63) are marked with E2hex. The
TID is comprised as follows:
■4 bytes: part number of the tag
• 1 byte: identifier
• 12 bits: tag mask designer identifier (MDID)
• 12 bits: tag model number (TMN), defined by the manufacturer:
■4 or 8 bytes: serial number of the tag
Depending on the manufacturer, the serial numbers do not have to be
unique or may even be omitted.
The data in segment Bank 10 can be output via the single read read-only code
(SF) and enhanced read read-only code (EF) commands. (see "Single Read
Read-Only Code SF" on page 31 and see "Enhanced Read Read-Only Code EF"
on page 31)

Product Description
Bank 11: User Memory
Segment Bank 11 contains an area to which the user has free access. This size
of this area depends on the chip type, or the area may not be present.
The data in segment Bank 11 is addressed via the single read words (SR), single
write words (SW), enhanced read words (ER), and enhanced write words (EW)
commands. (see "Single Read Words SR" on page 33, see "Single Write Words
SW" on page 34, see "Enhanced Read Words ER" on page 34, and see
"Enhanced Write Words EW" on page 35)
4.2.6 Electronic Product Code (EPC)
The electronic product code is a unique identifier in the form of a sequence of
numbers. The number sequence has a set structure and a length of 64 bits, 80
bits, 96 bits, or longer (depending on the EPC Ident number used). This number
sequence is saved to the RFID tag, offering worldwide unique identification of the
tagged object.
The system of Electronic Product Codes (EPC) was defined by GS1/EPCglobal
for use in inventory management. Tags with memory banks for EPC codes must
be programmed by the user. The memory of new tags must not contain any valid
EPC codes. The EPC numbers are managed and assigned by GS1. To obtain
EPC numbers, please contact the GS1 branch in your country
(http://www.gs1.com/contact).
The electronic product code is defined by EPCglobal with at present 13 different
encryptions. SGTIN-96 (serialized global trade item number) is given here as an
example of a frequently used encryption. SGTIN-96 has a defined format, and is
structured as follows:
1. Header: The header specifies the EPC standard used, and denotes the
number sequence.
2. Filter value: Denotes the unit of the product, for example, end product, ad-
ditional packaging, pallet.
3. Partition: Denotes the point at which the following company prefix ends
and the object data begins.
4. Company Prefix: Assigned sequence of numbers that identifies the pro-
ducer.
5. Object class: Sequence of numbers that describes the object, e.g., item
number.
The company prefix and the object class are each of variable length, but to-
gether are always 44 bits long.
6. Serial number: Sequence of numbers that identifies the item, for example,
the sequential serial number of the item.

To work with unique number sequences without having to use sometimes
expensive EPC codes, we recommend using the TID of the tag, which is
programmed into the tag chips by the semiconductor manufacturer.
4.2.7 Influence of various materials on the sensing range
In the UHF range, the nature of the surrounding area and the surface to which the
transponder is secured have a serious influence on the range that the system can
attain. The UHF transponder cannot be mounted on metal without requiring
adaptations. Glass has a negative influence on the sensing range when used as a
mounting surface. If a UHF transponder is mounted on damp material, the
sensing range is much poorer than the range of a transponder mounted on dry
material. The mounting surface often affects the read range much more than the
material between the transponder and the read/write head. The graph shows the
effect of different materials on the sensing range.
4.2.8 Dense Reader Mode (DRM)
A special operating mode for read/write tags in accordance with the specification
EPC Gen 2 (ISO/IEC 18000-63) allows several read/write heads to be operated
close to each other simultaneously without interference.
Europe
In accordance with EN 302208, only channels 4, 7, 10, and 13 are used in this
mode for transmission with the read/write head (read/write head -> read/write tag
communication path). The transmitting power is a maximum of 2 Werp.

Product Description
Figure 4.2
The response from the read/write tag appears via the frequency offset, which is
achieved by the modulation used in this mode on the two adjacent channels. Due
to the high level difference between the transmission channels and the response
channels, this technology offers major benefits for reusing frequencies.
Other countries in which the device can be used
The IUH-F117-V1-EU read/write head has a transmission license in accordance
with DIN EN 302208-2.
4.2.9 Frequency Hopping Method
China
In China, the frequency ranges 840–845 MHz and 920–925 MHz are available for
UHF-RFID readers. This read/write head uses the 920–925 MHz range. The
range is split into 20 channels, each with a bandwidth of 250 kHz. On channels 0,
1, 18, and 19, only 100 mWerp of transmission power are permitted at the edge of
the spectrum. On channels 2–17, 2 W areerp permitted. The transmission power
can be set. It is stated in Werp . FHSS with a maximum 2 seconds retention time is
used.
