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

SECTION 2 Installation and Connections/Wiring

Installation
OMRON -icon12 Amplifier Unit
Use spring washers and flat washers with the four M4 screws when mounting the Amplifier Unit.

OMRON V640 Series RFID-fig10

OMRON -icon3 Tighten the M4 screws with a torque not exceeding 1.2 N·m.

OMRON -icon12 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.
Mounting orientationCommunications area (purely illustrative)Explanation
CoaxialOMRON -icon9The maximum communications area is obtained when the center lines of the CIDRW Head and the ID Tag coincide.
ParallelOMRON -icon10The 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.
VerticalOMRON -icon11When 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.

OMRON -icon5 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

OMRON -icon12 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.

OMRON V640 Series RFID-fig88

TimeDescription
Communications timeThis is the time required for communications between an ID Tag and the CIDRW Head.
TATThis is the time required for processing at the Amplifier Unit, seen from the host device.

Communications time calculation formula (unit: ms)

OMRON V640 Series RFID-fig89

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.
