Rfid System Maintenance; Communication Diagnostic - Omron V680S-HMD64-PNT User Manual

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.
Refer to GET FIRMWARE VERSION in Section 7 Host Communications Specifications for the procedure to check the firmware version.
p.175
You cannot use the maintenance functions if you are using the FIFO Repeat communications option.

Communication Diagnostic

This function diagnoses the communications leeway whenever the Reader/Writer communicates with
an RF Tag, displays the results on an operation indicator, and reports the results to the host device. It
will help you achieve a more stable Reader/Writer and RF Tag installation and enable monitoring the
status of operations.
The operation indicator lights green for a stable communication, yellow for an unstable communication,
and red for a communications error.
Area of stable communications
Area of unstable communications
Yellow, which indicates an unstable communication, means that there is only 10% to 30% leeway in
relation to the maximum communications range.
