Revision 7.21 This Interface is the master in managing a network of up to 32 networkable CAN based RFID Readers termed Smart Antennas (or as a Modbus TCP bridge from our series of serial Reader Models 4000E, 5000E, and 7000E), and ultimately presents RFID Tag data from the networked Smart Antennas in Ethernet/IP format.

CAN Smart Antenna Readers and LF Passive RFID Tags Smart Antenna RFID Readers are addressable and simply provide a means of emitting the RF signal to energize a Tag, receive data back from a Tag and pass Tag data back to the Interface. Smart Antennas can also program RFID Tags.
Revision 7.21 Integer Data Although the Smart Antenna RFID Readers and Tags use 8 or 16 character formats, the Model 8080E Interface can convert DINT data from the Modbus TCP scanner to 8/16 character numerical strings and convert the string from the Tag into a DINT before sending to the Modbus TCP bus.

This section pertains only to use of the Interface when linked with serial Readers, NOT the networkable CAN Smart Antenna Readers. The serial port software frames Tag data from the Smart Antenna RFID Readers based on its End and Start character settings. Start may be set to zero in which case any character is accepted as a start character.

This command changes the write mode of the addressed Smart Antenna Reader. There are different types of RFID Tags with differing types of coils and tuning. The values discussed below place a Smart Antenna Reader into the writing mode appropriate to the RFID Tags in your possession. Default mode is 18, used for all planar coil-based Tags.
