■Highly Functional RFID System

In addition to 1-to-1 communication between a Tag and an antenna, the RFID System operates in either multiple simultaneous access mode, selective access mode, or FIFO (first-in, first-out) read/write mode. In multiple simultaneous access mode, if there is more than one Tag in the communications area, the RFID System reads and writes data from and to all the Tags at one time. In selective access mode, th e user can specify the Tags from and to which data is read and written. In FIFO read/write mode, the RFID System reads and writes data to one Tag after another as they come into the communications area.

■Support of off-line EAS Mode

The Reader/Writer can operate in EAS mode (see 3-7 in S ection 3) as a standalone device, with no need to connect with the host.

■I/O function

By issuing commands from the host, the user can operate three input points and four output points.

■Protection Construction

The protection construction IP60 has been achieved in the Reader/Writer.

Note:

In the configuration, where multiple Reader/Writers are connected via an RS-485 interface, the commands in a Communication Mode by which responses are returned at the Tag’s entry into the communication area, such as those in the Auto or Repeat Modes, cannot be executed simultaneously. The responses from the Reader/Writer will collide, preventing the host from receiving them normally. Such commands must be executed from the Polling Command, or by the time-shared processing performed by the host.
