The System Chapter 5 Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 50 System 5 5.1.System description T Complete Reader Session Reader H Ine at e d r e rorgation Random Access Window Alert Window T cw T aw T rw T hw T iw Readers Interlace Window 5.1.1. General. Hi-G-Tek DataSeals operate in sleep mode to conserve power. A pre-determined periodically awakens them from sleep mode. This allows them to monitor the surrounding airwaves for a Reader's wake up signal. Tw is the notation used throughout this manual for the wakeup cycle time of the seal. When the Reader initiates a session, it transmits a stream of data bits of programmable length. The notation of the data stream length is Thw. The seals use the SLOTTED ALOHA concept to communicate back to a Reader. The length of an ALOHA time slot is notated as Ts. (Ts is also notated as a window). This time slot is usually of fixed duration. For the Verify, Addressed Verify and Tamper commands, Ts should be defined externally in the command (see paragraph 5.6.3.2.). Fig. 5.1 - RF Communication Channels Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 51 5 System Ts can have one of the following values: 21, 41, 63, 81 msec. The System has four communication channels Reader Interrogation Header with time duration of Thw. Within this time frame the Reader sends a data stream to the seals. Readers Interlace Window with time duration of Tiw. This window is to allow other Readers to transmit and to share one Random Access Window. Random Access Window with time duration of Tcw. During this period seals responds in random access mode. Because the access is random, collisions between seal messages are to be expected. Alert Window with time duration of Taw. The last channel is an emergency channel allowing seals with high priority alert messages to transmit the message to the Reader. Trw is the notation used for the seals transmitting (Reader is receiving) time frame. A complete communication Reader Session is Thw + Trw. To overcome collisions, the seals should retransmit their message several times within the Random Access Window. The number of retransmissions should be defined externally in the command and is called Rr. The seal may also retransmit in the Alert Window. This is notated as Rt. Both Thw and Tw can be programmed. The relationship between Thw and Tw should be kept constant. Thw=Tw+ 135 msec See paragraph 5.2.3. for information on how to calculate Thw and Tw Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 52 5 System Table 5.1 Number of retries within the Random Access Window When there are a certain number of seals in the Reader's receiving zone, probability calculations show that more than one Seal Transmission is required to obtain a complete result. The following table demonstrates the number of retransmissions required for different situations. # Of seal slots (Ts) Max # of Seals Min # of Reader Sessions 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 200 210 220 230 240 250 1 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 - 9 6 5 5 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 - - - - 10 6 6 6 5 5 5 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 2 - 4 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 - - - - - - - 8 7 7 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 5 4 4 4 4 5 2 - - 5 4 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 - - - - - - - - - 10 8 8 8 6 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 5 6 2 - - - 5 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - 9 8 8 7 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 7 2 - - - - 6 5 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 10 8 8 7 7 6 6 6 8 2 - - - - - - 5 5 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 9 9 9 8 8 9 2 - - - - - - - 6 5 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 10 9 9 10 2 - - - - - - - - 7 5 5 5 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 - - - - - - - - - - 7 6 5 5 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 12 3 - - - - - - 4 4 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 9 7 5 5 4 4 4 4 4 4 14 3 - - - - - - - - 5 4 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 6 5 5 5 4 4 4 16 3 - - - - - - - - - - 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 9 7 6 5 18 3 - - - - - - - - - - - 6 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 7 6 20 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 5 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 2 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 5 4 3 3 3 3 25 4 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 5 30 4 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4 3 3 3 3 3 2 4 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4 3 3 35 5 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 Hi-G-Tek Ltd.

In this example, Thw=3 sec; Ts=21 msec; Taw=105 msec. Table 5.3. Reducing the Reader Interrogation Header - Thw increases the speed of the Verify session. Increasing the speed of the process is in conflict with the battery lifetime of the seal. (Higher speed = lower battery lifetime). When designing an application, careful attention should be paid to optimizing the correct tradeoffs between system response time, battery lifetime and number of seals. Taw is calculated for 5 slots of Ts. Table 5.4 demonstrates the impact of Thw on response time and battery life. The scenario for the results in the table is a GATE concept, whereby a seal is exposed to a reader for 6…

Chapter 6 RS 485/232 Communication Protocol Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 116 RS 485/232 Communication Protocol 6 6.1. RS- 485/232 Communication Protocol: General Description Communication between the Local Site Controller LSC and the STAR READER is based on the master/slave approach. The LSC is the MASTER unit, the READERS are the SLAVE units. The LSC and the READERS communicate via a RS-485 multi drop or RS-232 connection. Each READER has its own address, enabling the LSC to approach each reader individually. 6.2. Physical Layer 6.2.1. Down-link Down-link is the link from the LSC to the READERS. The link is RS-485 or RS-232 half duplex. Data rate can be one of the following: 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 BPS. The default rate is set at 9600 BPS. 6.2.2. Up-link Up-link is the link from the READERS to the LSC. The link is RS-485 or RS-232 half duplex. Data rate can be one of the following: 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 BPS. The default rate is set at 9600 BPS. 6.3. Protocol Flow. Communication is initiated by a command sent by the LSC to the READER. The READER executes the command and responds accordingly. In a long command session, the session is concluded when the LSC acknowledges the READER within T = 50 msec. ACK If the READERS are in sleep mode, the LSC must ensure they are awakened prior to the initialization of the session. In this case, the LSC should wait T = 50 msec before sending the main command. w Hi-G-Tek Ltd. Microelectronics & Asset Tracking Technology 117 6 RS 485/232 Communication Protocol There are 2 types of commands: SHORT COMMANDS and LONG COMMANDS. Short Commands: These are commands that are relevant to internal tasks at the reader level. Long Commands: These commands involve sessions with seals. The READER will respond to commands generated by the LSC within T seconds. RLSC For short commands, response time should be: T = 50 msec. RLSC For long commands, the LSC should return to retrieve the results after T with the appropriate GET RESULTS command. session Tis a derivative of the type of command executed to the seals. session Acknowledge can be positive or negative. If the LSC detects a problem, Acknowledge will be negative. The READERS are designed to work in cycles. Following an internal or external trigger, a READER SESSION is generated. This is a full communication cycle going back and forth between a READER and the tags located in the READER's receiving zone. The LSC operates differently The READERs are scanned on a different time line, using the same frequency as that of the READER's cycles or greater. This protocol supports RS-485 and RS-232 communication fashions. When working with the LSC using RS-232 communication opposite only one device, address fields should be set to 0xFFFF. When using RS-485 communication in broadcast situations, the address field should be set to 0x0000. Hi-G-Tek Ltd.
