    Mono-static Antenna (Linear) The OMRON V750 RFID Reader (herein after denoted as the reader) uses RFID (radio frequency identification) technology to read data stored on RFID tags. The reader supports UHF (ultra high frequency) antennas, which are available separately. The reader receives tag data through the UHF antenna and transfers data to a remote computer over a network connection.

When the reader detects the first tag, it returns response to the host, then it begins the next transaction repeatedly. Whenever it detects an unread tag, it reads the tag and returns read results to the host.
  • Page 49 3) Multi Once The reader reads multiple tags for a specified period. At the end of the specified period, it returns read results and finishes the transaction. If the reader does not detect any tag during the specified period, it returns a response meaning there is no tag.
  • Page 50 4) Multi Repeat The reader reads multiple tags for a specified period. At the end of the specified period, it returns read results to the host and then it begins the next transaction until termination command has been sent. At each period, the reader returns all read tag’s results to the host.
