SECTION 1 Product Outline

What Is a CIDRW System
The CIDRW system writes data to, and reads data from, the carrier IDs (ID Tags) mounted on the carriers (FOUP) in semiconductor manufacturing processes without contacting these ID Tags. CIDRW is the abbreviation of Carrier ID Reader/Writer and this abbreviation is used throughout this manual. Reading and writing information such as models, process instructions, lots, and inspection results to and from ID Tags makes it possible to manage work instruction information from a host device.

Example: Management of information in semiconductor and wafer manufacturing processes

Features
A V640-series CIDRW Head can be connected to a V640-HAM11-ETN-V2 or V640-HAM11-L-ETN-V2 Amplifier Unit to read and write ID Tags manufactured by Texas Instruments (TI). Reading and writing is performed according to commands from the host device.

• V640-HAM11-ETN-V2
  The V640-HAM11-ETN-V2 Amplifier Unit is equipped with Ethernet. The host device is connected through a LAN cable and controls the Amplifier Units using TCP/IP. The Amplifier Units provide a Web browser function that allows communications to be set and status to be managed using simple command communications.

• V640-HAM11-L-ETN-V2
  The V640-HAM11-L-ETN-V2 Amplifier Unit is equipped with Ethernet and can be connected to a V640HS62 CIDRW Head to perform long-distance communications. The functions of the V640-HAM11-LETN-V2 Amplifier Unit are the same as those of the V640-HAM11-ETN-V2 Amplifier Unit.

Flowchart for Getting Started

SECTION 2 Installation and Connections/Wiring

Installation
Amplifier Unit
Use spring washers and flat washers with the four M4 screws when mounting the Amplifier Unit.

Tighten the M4 screws with a torque not exceeding 1.2 N·m.

CIDRW Head
The area for communications with ID Tags varies substantially according to the installation orientations and the background conditions (metals, noise, etc.). Check the communications area before deciding the installation position.
For details on actual communications distances, see Characteristic Data depending on Conditions of Use in Appendix.

• Positional Relationship between the CIDRW Head and the ID Tag
  The communications area differs according to the positional relationship during communications.

of the CIDRW Head and the ID Tag coincide.
Parallel| | The maximum communications area is obtained when the center point of the antenna on the CIDRW Controller is aligned with the center line of the ID Tag.
Vertical| | When the center point of the antenna on the CIDRW Head is aligned with the center line of the ID Tag, the communications area is substantially reduced.

• Data Reading and Writing
  The communications distances for reading and writing are not the same; the distance is shorter for writing. Therefore, when data is to be both read and written, take the distance for writing as the reference distance when installing the CIDRW Head and the ID Tag.

• Influence of Background Metal on ID Tag
  Metals in the vicinity of the communications area will affect the range, making it smaller.

• Influence of Noise
  This CIDRW system uses a frequency of 134 kHz for communications with ID Tags. Equipment such as switching power supplies, inverters, servomotors, or monitors in the surrounding area will adversely affect communications, restricting the communications area.

The noise levels in the vicinity of the CIDRW Head can be determined with the environmental NOISE MEASUREMENT command (applies only when SECS is not used)
For details on the relationship between noise and communications distance, see Appendix

• Mounting
  Use spring washers and flat washers with the four M3 screws when mounting a CIDRW Head.
  

• The mounting dimensions are same between V640-HS61 and V640-HS62.
  Tighten the M3 screws with a torque not exceeding 0.6 N·m.

Mutual Interference Distances (Reference Only)

• When amplifier units are connected using multidrop connections and multiple CIDRW Heads are used
  The CIDRW Heads will not process commands simultaneously. In this case, install the CIDRW Heads at least 0.1 m apart from each other.

• When the CIDRW Systems are installed close to each other
  Distance between Antennas and Changes in Communications Distances (Reference Only)

• V640-HS61

•  V640-HS62

If CIDRW Heads in separate CIDRW systems process commands simultaneously, mutual interference between the Heads can result in malfunctions. If this is a problem, install the CIDRW Heads separated at least by the distances shown in the following illustrations.

Influence of Background Metals (Reference Only)
The CIDRW Head can also communicate from an opening in a ceiling panel (metal body).

However, ensure the distances indicated below between the CIDRW Head and the metal body. If you do not ensure these distances the communications distance will be substantially shortened.

• V640-HS61

• V640-HS62

Communications Time
Regardless of whether SECS is used or not, take the time required for processing between the host device and Amplifier Units into account when designing the system.

ID Tag and the CIDRW Head.
TAT| This is the time required for processing at the Amplifier Unit, seen from the host device.

Communications time calculation formula (unit: ms)

TAT calculation formula (units: ms)
TAT = command and response transmission time + communications time
*The command and response transmission time differs depending on the network environment.
For example: Command and response transemission time is about from 10 to 40msec, when connect between PC and the Amplifier Unit directly by the lan cable(100M).
The graph for communications time for communications between the ID Tag and CIDRW Head, and
TAT (when the baud rate is 9600 bps), is shown below.
The communications time and TAT, however, may increase substantially according to the conditions of use.

Please confirm beforehand, there is a difference in comparision with V640-HAM11-ETN and V640HAM11-L-ETN in communication time.

Communications Distance Characteristics vs. Ambient Noise
The graph below compares the results of measurement using the noise measurement function with communications distances.
At installation implement measures in regard to metal in the vicinity of the CIDRW Head, power supply noise, and atmospheric noise, to ensure that the noise level does not exceed 10.
