1. COMMUNICATION INTERFACE SPECIFICATION
The reader communicates with host (MCU，MPU，Controller) using serial communication interface RS232 or
RS485 and complete corresponding operation according to the host command. The communication parameter is
57600bps 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit without parity check bit. In the process of serial communication, the
least significant bit of one byte is transmitted first and the least significant byte of command data sequence is
transmitted first.
2. PROTOCOL DESCRIPTION
A communication procedure is sponsored by the host sending commands and data to the reader and the
reader returns the result status and data to host after command execution.
Reader receives a command executes a command, only the reader complete the implementation of a
command, to receive the next command. During the implementation of the command in the reader, if sending
commands to the reader, the command will be lost.
The following table shows the process of the host computer command:
HOST DIRECTION READER
Command Data Block →
The interval between two consecutive bytes in the command data block should be less than 15ms. During
command data block sending, synchronization will lost if the host receives any data from the reader and the host
should stop command sending and restart the communication after 15ms.
The reader completes command execution in inventory ScanTime (not including host sending data time)
except inventory command after receiving host command and returns the results. During the period, it doesn’t
process any host data. The feedback of command execution results is as follows:
READER DIRECTION HOST

The interval between two consecutive bytes in the response data block should be less than 15ms.

plus 4.
Adr 1 Reader address, 1 byte. Value range is 0~254. Only will the
reader conforming to the address response the command data
block. Value 255 is broadcasting address. All the readers will

7. TAG MEMORY AND ISSUES REQUIRING ATTENTION
A. EPC C1G2 TAG G2 TAG

TAG（G2 TAG）
Tag memory shall be logically separated into four distinct banks, each of which may comprise zero or more
memory words. The four storage areas:
Reserved memory (password memory) shall contain the kill and and/or access passwords, if passwords are
implemented on the Tag. The kill password shall be stored at memory addresses 00h to 1Fh; the access password
shall be stored at memory addresses 20h to 3Fh.
EPC memory shall contain a Stored CRC at memory addresses 00h to 0Fh, a Stored PC at addresses 10h to
1Fh, a code (such as an EPC, and hereafter referred to as an EPC) that identifies the object to which the Tag is or
12
will be attached beginning at address 20h, and if the Tag implements Extended Protocol Control (XPC) then either
one or two XPC word(s) beginning at address 210h.
TID memory shall contain an 8-bit ISO/IEC 15963 allocation class identifier at memory locations 00h to
07h. TID memory shall contain sufficient identifying information above 07h for an Interrogator to uniquely
identify the custom commands and/or optional features that a Tag supports.
User memory is optional. This area of different manufacturers is different. There is no user area in G2 tag of
Inpinj Company. There are 28 words in Philips Company.
Can write protect in four distinct banks. It means this memory is never writeable or not writeable under the
non-safe state; only password area can set unreadable.
B. 18000-6B TAG
6B tag has a memory space, the minimum 8 bytes (byte 0- 7) is UID of the tag, and can't be rewritten.
Following byte all can be rewritten, can be locked too, but once locking, can't rewrite and unblock again.
8. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION COMMAND
8.1 COMMAND OVERVIEV
The reader supports three kinds of command, one kind is the ISO/IEC 18000-6 protocol command, another
kind is reader-defined command, and also one kind is the transparent command.
If the host input of the command is an unrecognized command, such as the command does not support, or
CRC error in the command, then the return value is as follows:
Len Adr reCmd Status CRC-16
0x05 0xXX 0x00 0xFE LSB MSB
If the length of command operands doesn’t conform to the command request, the return value is as follows:
0x05 0xXX 0xXX 0xFD LSB MSB
Two kinds of command reader cannot respond:
1. The reader’s address error.
2. The command is incomplete, namely the command Len is longer than the actual command length.
8.2 EPC C1G2 COMMAND
8.2.1 Inventory
The command function is used to inventory tags in the effective field and get their EPC or TID values. The
reader executes an Inventory command and gets tag’s EPC before any other operation.
The user may accord need to establish this command the first biggest running time (Inventory scan time),
before the command enquires. The reader completes command execution in inventory ScanTime (not including
host sending data time) except inventory command after receiving host command and returns the results.
The default value is 0x0A (corresponding to 10*100ms=1s). The value range is 0x03~0xFF (corresponding to
13
3*100ms~255*100ms). In various environments, the actual inventory scan time may be 0~75ms longer than the
InventoryScanTime defined.
If the inventory scan time establishes excessively short, possibly will inventory no tag appear in inventory
scan time.
Command:
Data[]
Len Adr Cmd CRC-16
AdrTID LenTID
0xXX 0xXX 0x01 0xXX 0xXX LSB MSB
Parameter Connect:
AdrTID: One byte. It specifies the starting word address for the TID memory read. For example, AdrTID =
00h specifies the first 16-bit memory word, AdrTID = 01h specifies the second 16-bit memory word, etc.
LenTID: One byte. It specifies the number of 16-bit words to be read. The value is less then 16, otherwise, it
returns the parameters error message.
Notes: It will get tags’ EPC values when the AdrTID and LenTID vacant. Otherwise, get tags’ TID values.

8.4.9 Set WorkMode
The host sends this command to set the reader’s in Scan Mode or Trigger Mode. The host can also use this
command to define the reader’s output data content and format.
In Scan Mode or Trigger Mode, the reader can still accept commands from the host. But it will only respond
to reader-defined commands. Other commands can not be executed when the reader in Scan Mode or Trigger
Mode.
