HF Applications – Setting HF Bus Mode
4
HF bus mode supports the HF read/write heads from firmware version Vx.90. Continuous HF
bus mode supports the HF read/write heads from firmware version Vx.93. The read/write heads
can be addressed as follows:
Automatic addressing
n
Manual addressing via the command Set read/write head address
n
Manual addressing via the Turck Service Tool
n
The addresses must be assigned per channel from 1 to 32.
Automatic addressing of read/write heads
Read/write heads with the default bus address 68 can be addressed automatically. For this to
happen, the corresponding XCVR bit must be set in the parameter data.
Switch on the RFID interface power supply.
Activate the required read/write heads in the parameter data via the appropriate XCVR
bit.
Connect the read/write heads to the interface one after the other in a line.
a
Addresses are allocated in ascending order to the read/write heads in the order in which
the heads were connected. The lowest address is automatically assigned to the next
read/write head with the default address 68 that is connected.

The addressing is successful if the LED of the read/write head is permanently lit.
Manually addressing read/write heads — Setting the HF read/write head address command
Information on addressing the read/write heads via the RFID interface with the Set HF read/
write head address command is provided in the operating instructions. With manual address-
ing via the Set HF read/write head address command, the read/write heads must not be activ-
ated until the addressing is completed.
Activate the required read/write heads in the parameter data via the appropriate XCVR
bit.
