Introduction
The ID ISC.LR2000 Long Range Reader and the ID ISC.LRM2000 Long Range Reader Unit are the
top of the line Long Range Reader versions of the OBID i-scan HF Product line. The OBID i-scan
HF product line offers a complete range of products to choose from to address the entire spectrum of
RFID data capture applications: from vicinity detection, to proximity and mid-range distances to the
absolute limits of HF detection.
The ID ISC.LR2000 and ID ISC.LRM2000 are the most powerful reader in the OBID i-scan HF prod-
uct line. Both devices have identical RF performance. The ID ISC.LRM2000 differs from the ID
ISC.LR2000 in terms of housing, interface options and functionality for the host connectivity of the
device.
Each member of the LR2000 product series have the following key RF features:
- Highly sensitivity receiver increased the tag detection range so that the most transponders can be
read over the entire power up, field strength area.
- RF front end accommodates arbitrary cable lengths between the reader and the antenna without
adversely affecting the read range of the antenna
- RF front end has its own power control to protect the read range from external noise sources.
- The reader delivers a DC voltage on the antenna output to source DC powered devices connected
to the antenna cable, such as the FEIG Dynamic Antenna Tuning board (ID ISC.ANT.DAT-A)
- RF source of the reader meets different national radio rules and can achieve the 60dbA/m ETSI
limits.

6. To comply with the radio approvals additional shielding may be needed
In addition to the ID ISC.LR2000 Reader series having the largest read range, the platform provides
the most extensive configuration possibilities and reader command set. The base set of commands
and features are compatible with the ISO Host commands used throughout the OBID i-scan product
line. The configuration possibilities of the ID ISC.LR2000 reader make it easy to adapt the reader to a
range of applications by software and hardware configuration.

The reader is able to directly control antenna multiplexing functions to handle complex antennas ar-
rayed in various gate and portal configurations. The reader is also able to directly control and monitor
the antenna tuning circuits of our Dynamic Tuning Board.
The RF section of the reader is controlled by a dedicated DSP based, RF controller. A second micro-
controller, the Application and Connectivity Controller (ACC), uses an ARM processor running a
µcLinux operating system. The ACC transforms the reader into a powerful and intelligent device, ca-
pable of running application software directly on the reader platform and capable of connecting and
controlling other real world devices. The reader has four hardware interface ports: Ethernet, RS232,
RS485, and a Compact Flash 2 compatible port to support a WLAN Card. All ports are under control
of the ACC. Furthermore, the reader i-
zation of the RF Process with nearby readers to avoid mutual interference.
In combination, the powerful and flexible RF transmitter and receiver and intelligent digital controller
form the basis of an agile, multi protocol reader that can be updated as future protocols and features
are created. The Reader supports the transponder protocols 18000-3-A. ISO15693 and HF EPC. The
ACC Firmware can also be updated allowing the reader to adapted to different applications. FEIG
Electronic provides a library which allows the user to develop their own applications to run on the
ACC.

Data Transmission between OBID i-scan® ID ISC.LR-Reader and Host
Five different ways of data transmission between OBID® i-scan Readers and host (terminal, PC) are
possible. The Host Commands, Buffered Read Mode and Notification Mode are used for the data
exchange between Transponder and host, whereas the Configuration Commands and the Reader
Control Commands serves for adapting the Reader parameters to the individual range of applica-
tions. The following chart shows which method of data transmission is supported by which interface:

Configuration Commands and Control Commands
This method of data transmission is used for Reader configuration and the diagnosis via the asyn-
chronous interface or Ethernet Interface
The Reader-configuration parameters will be stored in the Reader memory. To store the current con-
figuration 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.

2.2.
ISO15693 Host Commands
The ISO Host Commands provide 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
removed from 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 has to be
7.1.1. [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:

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.

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 has to be
7.1.1. [0x01] Inventory
step the Transponder must be selected with the select command (see: 7.1.6. [0x25] Select)

2.3.
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 is especially designed for applications which use
Transponders to identify objects. The Buffered Read 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 detection
range of the Reader and reads their requested data. The read T
organized data buffer.
The sampled Transponder data can be read with the 8.3. Transponder Access in the Buffered Read
Mode and Notification Mode command. This command always reads the first available data sets from
the data buffer. However already read data has to be deleted with the 8.6. [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 4.2. CFG1: Interface configuration block the Reader im-
mediately starts sampling Transponder data after power up. The Buffered Read Mode can be reinitia-
lized with the 8.7. [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.

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
8.4. [0x22] Read Buffer response protocol. The destination address and the notification conditions
can be set in 4.31. 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 8.6. [0x32] Clear Data Buffer command is
not necessary. As an option, this acknowledgement can be enabled to synchronize the notifications
with the host to prevent notification overflow in the host application.
The notification message format depends on trigger settings in 4.11. CFG10: Trigger and settings for
the read mode in 4.12. CFG11: Read Mode /Scan Mode – Read Data and 4.13. CFG12: Read
Mode - Filter as well as settings for the notification trigger in 4.31. CFG49: Notification Channel.
The following table lists the message formats:
Notification Trigger: continuous or time-triggered
Input/Status Event
Data Event
Read Trigger disabled
Input/Status and Data Events are notified together in one or multiple messages.
The message format depends on settings in TR-DATA of CFG11.
Read Trigger enabled
Notification separately and immediately,
if in:
CFG11: IN flag in TR-DATA2 is set
and
CFG12: flag is set for input and/or
status to be observed
NOTE: One notification can contain
more than one input/status event, if
multiple events occur at the same time.
Notification shortly after notification of
input/status event.
The message format depends on set-
tings in TR-DATA of CFG11.
Notification Trigger: host-triggered
Input/Status Event
Data Event
Independent of Read Trigger
Input/Status and Data Events are notified together in one message. The notifica-
tion is activated by command [0x34] Force Notify Trigger.
The message format depends on settings in TR-DATA of CFG11.
An additional option of the Notification Mode is the Keepalive message, which can be sent periodically
to the host. The Keepalive message transports valuable information about the reader hardware and
antenna tuning status. Keepalive messages are never acknowledged by the host. The Keepalive
message should not be mistake with the keepalive option (s. CFG41/CFG43) of a LAN/WLAN con-
nection initiated by a host.

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.
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 Reader is not able to read all data of a protocol block completely
and without error, it does not send data. For example, if the address of the data block is invalid, the
UID of the Transponder will not be sent out.
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:

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.
Scan Mode is only available if Buffered Read Mode is disabled
The Scan Mode can be used with the 2.6. Reader Multiplex Mode.

Reader Multiplex Mode (Syncronisation)
To enable more than one Reader to be used in close proximity, the RF operations executed by the
Readers must be multiplexed to prevent unwanted interference.
This is achieved by using the Multiplex (Sychronisation) Mode.
In combination with Buffered Read Mode the Multiplex Mode allows maximum speed of operation. In
this case each Reader passes control to the next after it has completed its task. This is effectively a
round-robin control, but it is much faster than single host control since it is controlled at a Reader lev-
el.
To setup the Multiplex (Sychronisation) Mode the Buffered Read Mode must be enabled in the 4.2.
CFG1: Interface and 4.12. CFG11: Read Mode /Scan Mode Read Data configuration block and the
Multiplex Mode must be selected in the SYNC setting in the 4.19. CFG18: Reader Synchronisation
configuration block. The Reader that should trigger the multiplex chain must be configured as
MASTER in the SYNC setting in the 4.19. CFG18: Reader Synchronisation.
In the Multiplex Mode the signal input IN and the signal output OUT on connector X5 are used for
synchronization cable co

Note:
Multiplex Mode will only be available in Buffered Read Mode, Notification Mode and Scan
Mode.
