3. Reader Function Introduction
This section illustrates functions and features of reader F805.
3.1 System Function
¾Multiple Communication Interfaces
3
F805 reader provides multiple communication interfaces catering for different application
environments:
yStandard RS-232 serial port, support speed range 9600~115200bps
yStandard 10M /100M Base-T Ethernet interface, support AUOTO-MIX function,
identify cross-line or straight line and automatically switches send/receive channels.
yStandard USB2.0 interface
¾Status Indicator
F805 reader provides the following status indicators: power, antenna selection and antenna
port carrier output, reading tag, data communication indications. At the same time, it is
equipped with buzzer to indicate reader operation status. For specific definition, Section
2.2.3 would introduce the panel on reader.
¾Reader Name Configuration
User can set different name for each reader, and the set name could be stored and queried.
Through this function, user can fast and easily find the connection established readers in
different places, other than using IP address or label sticker to distinguish readers. This can
also establish user-friendly database management.
¾Antenna Port Disable and Enable
The four antenna ports of F805 reader can be set as forbidden or allowed to use.
When host computer is using a forbidden antenna port to operate, the reader would reject
and return error code. In order to prevent a port without antenna operating, this would result
in error operation or even damage to devices.
When a reader is operating on tags in port rolling query method, the reader would select the
allowed ports and neglect the forbidden ones.
¾Independent Antenna Port Power Configuration
The four antenna ports of F805 reader could be set with different power output parameter.
When reader switches from one port to another, the power output is also transmitted into
the appropriate port value. This feature enables users to configure appropriate power
output for different antenna, when they are doing multi-antenna applications to optimize the
system.
4
¾Independent Antenna Port Cycling Query Time Configuration
The four antenna ports of F805 reader could be set with different query time. This feature
enables users to configure appropriate working time for different antenna, when they are
using cycling query for tag operation to optimize the system.
¾Modify Ethernet Configuration Parameter In Real-time
After modify the Ethernet configuration parameters of reader such as IP address, the reader
would simultaneously update the parameter. It doesn't need restart or re-power.
When using the Ethernet connection to modify Ethernet configuration parameters, the
reader will use the original Ethernet configuration parameters to maintain connection and
communication, until the current connection is cut off. The reader Ethernet configuration is
immediately updated when it is cut off, and the host computer will use new Ethernet
configuration parameters to establish connection with reader.
When using other connecting methods to modify the Ethernet configuration parameters, the
Ethernet configuration parameters will be updated immediately.
¾Adaptive Reading Time
When a reader is continuously operating on tags, use the interval reading mode to reduce
power consumption and to decrease interference with other devices. F805 reader will
automatically adjust the interval according to actual working status. When there's no tag
within RF environment, it will auto-adjust to standby monitoring status and increase the
interval; when detected tags within the RF range, the interval will be reduced. Through this
way, the power consumption and tag operation efficiency is achieved.
¾Control IO Output
Reader provides 4 IO output interfaces: 2-way MOS controlling power output and 300mA
output current, can be used for signal control or be used as power supply for other devices;
the other two for the relay control output, providing 220V/500mA current control.
The 4-way IO output can independently control the output status, input status including:
high level, low level, positive pulse and negative pulse.
¾IO Input Detection
Reader provides 2-way IO input detection function, which can detect IO input level status
5
and return to the computer.
3.2 Tag Operation Function
¾Tag Filtering
Reader can be configured to support the label filtering. After start the tag filtering function, if
reader gets a tag ID and sends to host computer successfully, within the configured time
reader would filter the same tag ID, and it will send the tag ID again when the configured
time out. This feature can reduce the duplication of the tag information on the network
congestion and control computer data processing burden.
This function has two parameters can be configured:
1) Filtering startup and shutdown;
2) Filtering time configuration, range from 100 milliseconds to 2 minutes.
¾ISO18000-6B Tag Function
Reader can read tags which are compatible with ISO18000-6B protocol, and read UID code
of ISO18000-6B tags, read/write data bank data, lock and lock status query.
¾ISO18000-6C Tag Function
Reader can read tags which are compatible with ISO18000-6C protocol, and read EPC
code of ISO18000-6C tags, read/write data bank data, lock and unlock.
¾EPC Length Adaptive
The EPC code length of ISO18000-6C protocol tag is changeable, and F805 can read/write
EPC code of different length.
¾TID Length Adaptive
The TID code of ISO18000-6C tag is 8bytes, while many tag manufacturers keep TID code
blank or only 4bytes. F805 can read TID code of different length.
