Modbus settings
In the "Modbus settings" area, you can enable/disable the Modbus communication and
change the port number of the interface. Via the "UID/tag field" drop-down list, you can
determine which transponder data the reader should read out. The data selected here can be
retrieved via the Modbus interface.
XML settings
In the "XML basic settings" area, you can enable/disable the XML communication via the XML
interface of the reader and change the port number of the interface. In addition, you can
define which events are sent to the user application via all XML channels.

Description of the parameters of the tag fields
Description
Input box for assigning a logical name/descriptive title to the tag field.
Possible characters: 0 ... 9
Input box for entering the number of the VHL file ID. With the ID, you can
define which memory area should be accessed.
Input box for entering the start address within the memory area from
which you want to read, change or write the data of the target transponder.
You can use the button to change the input/output format (decimal or
hexadecimal).
Range of values: 0 ... 65535 bytes
Input box for entering the length within the memory area and starting
from the start address within which you want to read, change or write the
data of the target transponder. You can use the button to change the input/
output format (decimal or hexadecimal).
Range of values: 1 ... 1024 bytes
Description of the XML basic parameters
Description
If the check box is selected, each frame (XML report) received from the user
application of the reader is confirmed with a response frame. If no response frame
is received by the reader within 10 seconds, it sends the report to the application
again. Reports that are not transmitted are buffered in the reader.
With this function, you can make sure that no frames from the reader are lost even
if the connection is unstable (e.g. WLAN connection aborts occasionally). This
function also allows batch operation of the reader when there is only a connec‐
tion to the user application at certain times. The reader collects the frames and
these can, when necessary, be called up using a PC application.
