  • Page 11 Data transmission between RF290R and host There are five different types of data transmission between the RF290R and the host (terminal or PC). The ISO 15693 host commands, the "Buffered Read Mode" and the "Scan Mode" are used to exchange data between the reader and host. The configuration commands and the control commands of the reader are used to adapt the reader parameters to the individual application.
  • Page 12 Data transmission between RF290R and host 3.2 ISO 15693 host commands ISO 15693 host commands The ISO 15693 host commands are a method of transferring data between the host and transponders using the reader. To allow this, the transponders must be in the antenna field of the reader.
  • Page 13 Data transmission between RF290R and host 3.2 ISO 15693 host commands Figure 3-3 Sequence when reading in the addressed mode Figure 3-4 Sequence when writing in the addressed mode Non-addressed mode In the non-addressed mode, you do not need to know the UID of the transponder. This mode is useful if there is only one transponder in the antenna field of the reader.
  • Page 14 Data transmission between RF290R and host 3.2 ISO 15693 host commands Figure 3-6 Sequence when writing in the non-addressed mode Selected mode In this mode, the reader communicates only with the one selected transponder. Before data can be read or written in the selected mode, the UID of the transponder must be known.

  • Page 16 Data transmission between RF290R and host 3.3 Buffered Read Mode Buffered Read Mode The "Buffered Read Mode" is a mode used to detect transponders in the antenna field of the reader. In the "Buffered Read Mode", all transponder data is filtered according to the setting to minimize the amount of data transmitted between reader and host.
  • Page 17 Data transmission between RF290R and host 3.4 Scan Mode Figure 3-12 Sequence when deleting in Buffered Read Mode Note Note the following information about the "Buffered Read Mode": • In "Buffered Read Mode", only read operations are possible. • The "Buffered Read Mode" can only be used when the "Scan Mode" is turned off. Scan Mode In this mode the reader sends data unsolicited to the host as soon as there is a transponder in the antenna field and it was possible to read valid data.

  • Page 19 Serial data format and protocol frames The communication between the reader and connected host (terminal, PC etc.) is handled according to a specified protocol. The protocol used is suitable for use on a data bus and includes a bus address. The reader only supports the extended protocol frame (not compatible with the simple protocol frame of the SLG D10).
