The tag features reflect the application requirements. You can find more details into “PT40 Functional Specifications”. 1.2 Definitions Valid LF Field – A 125 kHz carrier signal modulated OOK with a signal carrying the exciting device identification number (ExID). Excitation Mode – tag transmits its ID together with the exciter ID when it is woken up by a valid LF field. Transmission – When is excited by a valid LF field, the tag transmits its ID over a 433.92 MHz FSK modulated carrier. 2 PT40 OPERATION DESCRIPTION Postag PT40 is a transponder (RF Tag) that receives an excitation signal and responds by transmitting back a message. It is custom designed for low cost and reliability in the postal environment. It is a direct replacement of previous models PT21, PT23, and PT30 tags and can be used with any of the Lyngsoe RFID systems – S96, S21 S23, and S30. Figure 1 – PT40 Front side Figure 2 – PT40 Back side Postag PT40 provides the following main functions: - Identifies a valid 125kHz excitation field and reads its excitation identifier (ExId); - Following a valid excitation, it transmits on 433.92MHz several identical messages that include (among others) the tag user data, the ExId and a battery flag. - Its user data and operating parameters are programmed wirelessly using a special programming device 2.1 Modes of operation Postag PT40 has several main modes of operation: sleep, LF excitation recognition, UHF transmission and programming. The sleep mode is the normal mode of operation. PT40 Postal Tag RFID-LSCAN Page: 4 of 6 In the sleep mode, only the LF receiver is powered up and the total current consumption is less than 5uA. When a LF signal is detected by the LF receiver, it wakes-up the microcontroller to check if this signal has a valid modulation pattern. The LF field validation is done by the microcontroller using an RC internal 90 kHz clock at a low current consumption. If a valid excitation field is recognized, then the microcontroller wakes-up its UHF Transmitter and transmits on the UHF the pre-programmed messages. When PT40 recognizes a valid S21 / S23 excitation it transmits on UHF messages using S21 format. The PT40 operation and the message content can be programmed using dedicated devices. The tag transmits a number of messages each time it enters a valid S21 or S23 fields. First transmission is delayed a few ms depending of the parameter WID that programmed randomly for each tag within the 10 -30 range during the manufacturing process. Subsequent transmissions are each randomly delayed compared with the preceding one based on a calculation that involves several random numbers generated internally function of another parameter WSD. This WSD parameter is also programmed randomly for each tag within the 10 -30 range during the manufacturing process. Repeating the same message a number of times ensures that, even if multiple tags are excited in the same time, many messages will not collide and at least one from each tag will be successfully received. 2.2 Valid Excitation Fields For a field to be valid, it has to have a special pattern called exciter ID. If fields with different exciter ID overlap and a tag moves from one to another it will transmit WEP number of messages each time it “sees” a new exciter ID. 2.3 Commands and Parameters The commands and parameters accepted by Postag PT40 are the same as for the Postag PT21 / PT23 and are listed in the RFID System S21 – Reference Guide, document 950061 rev. 1. The most used programmable parameters for PT40 are WIP, WRC and WUD. Examples of default parameters’ values that will fit most applications are: WUD = “xxxxx” - use this command to program 5 characters of user data WIP, WRC= their sum represents the number of identical messages to transmit following an excitation. WIP parameter range is 1 to 20, WRC parameter range is 0 to 10 - default values are 10. WID = randomly assigned initial delay after an excitation before the first UHF transmission, multiples of 4 ms, range 1-200, default 1. This ensures a randomization of the first transmissions following an (almost) simultaneously excitation of multiple tags. WSD = inter-message random delay, range 7 – 15, default 10 (used for calculating the random interval between two successive UHF transmissions) 2.4 PT40 vs. PT21 The main functional differences between tags model PT40 and PT21 are related to the ExId range of identifiers, the black-out time, and the direction of maximum LF sensitivity. 2.4.1 ExId range Postags PT21 recognize and report received ExId with S21 format in the range 0 to 31. PT40 recognize and report received ExId with S21 format in the range 0 to 31, and with S23 format in the range 0 to 127. 2.4.2 Black-out Black-out is the minimum time interval between two consecutive excitations which the tag can recognize. Postag PT21 has a black-out time 10.0 s. For PT40 this blackout time was reduced to about 2-3 s. In situations where we want to re-register a tag that leaves and re-enters a field with the same exciter ID, the tag has to be out of the field for more than the black out time duration. This happens for example when you try to excite a tag multiple times using the same exciter, like a Universal Programmer UP23 box. The tag will not transmit if it enters an LF field but…
