Section 6 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.
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 The Reader/Writer communicates with RF Tags for command execution requests from the host device. When the Reader/Writer is finished communicating with an RF Tag, it returns the communications results to the host device and waits for another command. If there is no RF Tag in the communications field when the Reader/Writer receives the command from the host device, an RF Tag missing error will occur.
Page 97
Section 6 Functions Repeat When the Reader/Writer receives a command execution request from the host device, it automatically detects RF Tags in the communications field and communicates with them. This process is repeated until the execution request is cleared. Communications are not performed for RF Tags that have returned communications results to the host device until the Reader/Writer has to communicate with another RF Tags.
Page 98
Section 6 Functions FIFO Repeat When the Reader/Writer receives a command execution request from the host device, it automatically detects RF Tags in the communications field and communicates with them. After successfully communicating with an RF Tag once, operation for that RF Tag is stopped. This process is repeated until the execution request is cleared.
Page 99
Section 6 Functions The FIFO Repeat detects the RF tag in the sequence of “1. RF tag detection processing” and executes read/write with the RF tag detected in the sequence of “2. communication processing”. <Without ID code check> When using FIFO Repeat (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.

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.
Section 6 Functions Reader/Writer Controls RESET You can restart the Reader/Writer. You can restart the Reader/Writer by using a RESET command or by using a CIP message (specifically, by issuing the Reset service to the Identity object) from a Web browser. The Reader/ Writer will return the execution results and reset itself.
Section 6 Functions Maintenance Reading Device Information You can read the device information given in the following table from the Reader/Writer. You can send a command from the host device or access the information from a Web browser to read the device information.
Section 6 Functions Setting Functions You can use a setting command or a Web browser 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.
Section 6 Functions Setting Communications Conditions This command sets parameters that are related to the operation of communications with RF Tags. Any changes to the settings that are made with this command are effective immediately. (There is no need to reset the Reader/Writer to save the settings.) ...
Page 106
Section 6 Functions RF Tag Communications Speed Setting You can set the speed for communications between the Reader/Writer and RF Tags. High speed (default) This setting reduces the communications time by reading more than one block at the same time with an air interface.
Section 6 Functions Network Settings You can set the parameters for communications between the Reader/Writer and the host device. If you change the settings, you must reset the Reader/Writer to enable the new settings. IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway You can use any of the following methods to set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the Reader/Writer.

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. You can download a log file that contains the diagnostic information stored in the Reader/Writer to a computer for your usage.
Page 114
Section 6 Functions An application example of the RFID System maintenance functions is given below. Enable communication diagnostic. p.20 Communicate with an RF Tag. p.19 If the operation indicator lights in yellow, check the RF Analyzer on a Web browser. p.20 Check the assumed causes and corrections with the RF Analyzer and implement suitable measures.
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.
Page 116
Section 6 Functions Field Extension Mode High-speed Traveling Mode LOCK Not supported Not supported The commands that can be acknowledged by a Slave Reader/Writer are shown in the following table. If an unsupported command is received by a Slave Reader/Writer, a multi-Reader/Writer execution error will occur.
Section 6 Functions Field Extension Mode You can use this mode to link Reader/Writers in order to extend the effective communications field. 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.
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 119
Section 6 Functions In High-speed Traveling Mode, you can use only the READ DATA RF Tag communications command. Also, you can specify only the Auto or Repeat communications option. If you use any communications option other than Repeat in the High-speed Traveling Mode, an execution status error will be indicated in the response.
Section 6 Functions Using Communication Diagnostic and the RF Analyzer You can use communications diagnostics from a Web server. Use either of the following procedures. Use the Web server to use the RF Analyzer. Using the Web Server Enabling Communication Diagnostic Connect the Ethernet cable, turn ON the power supply to the Reader/Writer, and then start a Web browser on a computer.
