OMRON IDSC-C1DR-A-E Controller
OMRON IDSC-C1DR-A-E Controller
An ID Controller can be used to create a non-contact information system and is
equipped the complete functionality of a compact, high-speed Programmable
Controller (PC). Data is transferred between a Read/Write Head and Data Carri
ers in systems like the one shown in the following illustration.
ID Controller Features
Section 1-1
• The ID Controller is equipped with an interface for electromagnetic-coupling ID
Sensors and one Read/Write Head can be connected. Communications (con
tent read/write) with Data Carriers featuring this interface is performed by se
quential programming commands.
• Interrupt functions are provided, and specific subroutines can be executed in
response to ID communications.
• The ID Controller can be used for various types of communications, such as
host links, NT links to PT, 1:1 links, and RS-232C.
• The controller is equipped with 32 I/O points (16 input points and 16 output
points).
• The details of up to 30 errors generated during communications with the Data
Carrier can be logged in response to errors in ID communication commands.
Other functions, such as online communications test, are available to test com
munications with Data Carriers.
ID Controller Functions
ID Communications
Instructions
The following instructions are provided specifically for ID communications to
control data reception between the ID Controller and Data Carriers (DC).
Code Mnemonic
61
IDRD
Name
DC READ
Function
Reads data from memory in the
Data Carrier.
62
IDWT
DC WRITE
Writes data to memory in the Data
Carrier.
63
IDAR
DC AUTOREAD
Waits for approach of a Data
Carrier and then reads data.
64
IDAW
DC AUTOWRITE
Waits for approach of a Data
Carrier and then writes data.
65
IDCA
DC CLEAR
Initializes memory in the Data
Carrier with the specified data.
66
IDMD
DC MANAGE DATA
Checks memory in the Data
Carrier.
Also manages the write life in
EEPROM Data Carriers.
ID Interrupts
Communication Functions
The ID Controller is equipped with the following interrupt functions.
• ID communications response interrupt for ID communications responses.
• Input interrupts for external input signals
• Interval timer interrupts for internal timers
• High-speed counter interrupts for an internal counter
Equipped with both a peripheral and an RS232 port, the ID Controller can com
municate with external devices using the following methods
Host Link Communications or NT Links
Communications by Host Link commands is enabled by connecting the ID Con
troller to a Programmable Terminal (PT), personal computer or other device.
RS-232C Devices
Data can be read from bar code readers, measuring instruments, and other de
vices and data can be output to a printer.
1:1 Link Systems
Data areas can be linked by connecting the ID Controller to other ID Controller.
In this setup, operating status can be synchronized while the status of other
equipment can be monitored.
