Page 93 Section 6 Functions Functions Using Communication Diagnostic and the RF Analyzer 119 Using Field Extension Mode RFID System User's Manual (Modbus TCP)
Page 94 Section 6 Functions Functions Operation Mode The Reader/Writer has two operation modes: Run Mode, and Safe Mode. You can use the control signal to the Reader/Writer connector to change between these modes.  Run Mode When you connect the control signal to the 24-VDC side of the power supply and turn ON the power supply, the Reader/Writer will start in Run Mode.
Page 95 Section 6 Functions RF Tag Communications  Communications Options Communications with the RF Tag are performed according to one of the communications options that are listed in the following table. The setting of the communications option is effective immediately after it is changed. It is saved in internal memory in the Reader/Writer even after the power supply is turned OFF.
Page 96 Section 6 Functions  Once Communications with the RF Tag are performed according to queries that are sent from the host device. When the Reader/Writer has completed communicating with the RF Tag, it sends a response to the host device and then waits for another query. If there is no RF Tag in the communications field when the Reader/Writer receives a query from the host device, the Reader/Writer returns an RF Tag missing error (error code: 2001 hex).
Page 97 Section 6 Functions After communicating with an RF Tag, access to that RF Tag is prohibited. The Reader/Writer sends a response to the host device and then waits for another query. The Reader/Writer communicates in turn with each of the RF Tags that enters the communications field.
Page 98 Section 6 Functions The FIFO Trigger detects the RF tag in the sequence of “RF tag detection processing” and executes read / write with the RF tag detected in the sequence of “communication processing”. <Without ID code check> When using FIFO Trigger (Without ID code check), please do not put the next RF tag B in the communication area until communication with the detected RF tag is completed.
Page 99 Section 6 Functions  Normal RF Tag Communications Communications with the RF Tag are performed by using the queries that are listed in the following table. Name Description Page READ DATA Reads data from an RF Tag. p.160 WRITE DATA Writes data to the memory of the RF Tag.
Page 100 Section 6 Functions RF TAG OVERWRITE COUNT CONTROL Query with an Addition Specification The overwrite count control area consists of 4 bytes from the specified start address. The increment value is added to the overwrite count and then written to this area. When the value reaches 100,000 (i.e., 0186A0 hex), a warning code is returned.
Page 101 Section 6 Functions Reader/Writer Controls  STOP Query This query is used to cancel or abort auto communications operation and fifo communications operation. Host device Reader/Writer STOP Host device Reader/Writer Response Communications Reader/Writer operation Query standby status processing  RESET Query This query is used to make the Reader/Writer reset itself.
Page 102 Section 6 Functions  Maintenance  Noise monitor Communication performance will be reduced when the RF tag or the Reader/Writer are influenced by ambient noise. The Reader/Writer responds the ambient noise level by using noise monitor function. The response data includes the following parameters. By checking the noise level, you can check the influence on the performance of communication with the RF tag in advance.
Page 103 Section 6 Functions Setting Queries You can use setting queries to set the operating conditions of the Reader/Writer according to the application environment. You can save the settings so that they are stored in internal memory in the Reader/Writer even after the power supply is turned OFF.
Page 104 Section 6 Functions  SET TAG COMMUNICATIONS CONDITIONS Query This query sets parameters that are related to the operation of communications with RF Tags. Any changes to the settings that are made with this query are effective immediately. (There is no need to reset the Reader/Writer to save the settings.) ...

Page 106 Section 6 Functions Error Logs The Reader/Writer manages errors that occur during operation in logs. The error logs are saved until the power supply to the Reader/Writer is turned OFF. You can read the error logs by sending queries from the host device or by using a browser. The following logs are saved.
Page 107 Section 6 Functions  Communications Error Log Each record in the communications error log consists of 24 bytes in the format that is shown in the following table. Up to eight records are recorded. To read the communication error log, either send a GET COMMUNICATIONS ERROR LOG query or read it from a browser.
Page 108 Section 6 Functions  Recent Error Query Log The record in the recent error query log consists of 250 bytes in the format that is shown in the following table. Only one record is ever recorded in the recent error query log. To read the recent error query log, either send a GET RECENT ERROR QUERY INFORMATION query or read it from a browser.
Page 109 Section 6 Functions Web Server The following functions are provided in the Web server interface.  Status Monitoring, Setting, and Confirmation  Status Monitoring You can monitor the status of the Reader/Writer. The Reader/Writer status includes the firmware versions, MAC address, network settings, operating status, and other status information. ...
Page 110 Section 6 Functions RFID System Maintenance Communications performance can be affected by environmental factors around the RFID System (including metal objects, the positional relationship between the Reader/Writer and RF Tags, and noise). You can use the RFID System maintenance functions to check the leeway in communications and achieve more stable device operation.
Page 111 Section 6 Functions Communication diagnostic is disabled in the default settings. To use communication diagnostic, you must enable it in advance. Refer to RF Tag Communications View in Section 8 Browser Interface for the setting procedure for communication diagnostic. p.215 Use the results of communication diagnostic as a guideline.

Page 113 Section 6 Functions  RF Analyzer The RF Analyzer displays detailed information from communication diagnostic on a web browser. You can easily check to see how stable communications are and troubleshoot problems. You can browse a list of diagnostic information and periodically confirm the leeway quantitatively on graphs.

Enable communication diagnostic. p.18 Communicate with an RF Tag. p.17 If the operation indicator lights in yellow, check the RF Analyzer on a web browser. p.18 Check the probable causes and corrections with the RF Analyzer and implement suitable measures.
Page 115 Section 6 Functions Multi-Reader/Writer Operation There are two modes that you can use for multi-Reader/Writer operation: Field Extension Mode and High-speed Traveling Mode. You can link up to eight Reader/Writers to perform communications operations with RF Tags. One of the Reader/Writers operates as the master and the other Reader/Writers operate as slaves. The host device just has to control one Reader/Writer, the master, to easily achieve complex control operations for all of the linked Reader/Writers.
Page 116 Section 6 Functions The RF Tag communications queries that you can use during multi-Reader/Writer operation (Field Extension Mode or High-speed Traveling Mode) are shown in the following table. If you use unsupported RF Tag communications queries when multi-Reader/Writer operation is enabled, an execution status error will be indicated in the response.

Page 118 Section 6 Functions  Field Extension Mode You can use this mode to link Reader/Writers in order to extend the effective communications field of a Reader/Writer. Even if the workpieces are not all the same height or not oriented in the same direction, the placement of more than one Reader/Writer enables communicating with the RF Tags without worrying about the positions or orientation of the RF Tags.
Page 119 Section 6 Functions  High-speed Traveling Mode You can read large data sizes from RF Tags because the data is split up and read by more than one Reader/Writer on a time-sharing basis while the workpiece is moving. We recommend that you use this mode when reading data from RF Tags that are moving on a production line.
Page 120 Section 6 Functions In High-speed Traveling Mode, you can use only the READ DATA RF Tag communications query. Also, you can specify only the Auto communications option. If you use any communications option other than Auto in the High-speed Traveling Mode, an execution status error will be indicated in the response. Applicable RF Tag Communications Queries Supported READ DATA...
