Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of RFID technology and components, and describes the MC3090-Z RFID
mobile computer and its features.

RFID Technology Overview

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is an advanced automatic identification (Auto ID) technology that uses radio
frequency signals to identify tagged items. An RFID tag contains a circuit that can store data. This data may be
pre-encoded or can be encoded in the field. The tags come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

To read a tag the mobile computer sends out radio frequency waves using its integrated antenna. This RF field
powers and charges the tags, which are tuned to receive radio waves. The tags use this power to modulate the
carrier signal. The reader interprets the modulated signal and converts the data to a format for computer storage.
The computer application translates the data into an understandable format.

RFID Components

Motorola RFID solutions offer low cost, long read range, and a high read rate. These features provide real time
end-to-end visibility of products and assets in the factory, distribution center, retail outlet, or other facility. The
MC3090-Z RFID system consists of the following components:

•

Silicon-based RFID tags that attach to retail products, vehicles, trailers, containers, pallets, boxes, etc.

•

An integrated antenna that supports applications such as item level tracking and asset tracking.

•

An embedded radio module that powers and communicates with tags for data capture and provides host
connectivity for data migration.

Tags

Tags contain embedded chips that store unique information. Available in various shapes and sizes, tags, often
called

transponders, receive and respond to data requests. Tags require power to send data, and are available with

two power options:

•

Active Tags: typically powered by light-weight batteries and have limited life.

•

Passive Tags: the RFID reader generates an RF field that powers the tag. Passive tags are much lighter, less
expensive, and have a much longer life than active tags.

Antenna

Antennas transmit and receive radio frequency signals. A read point is the RF range of an antenna.

Radio Module

The radio module communicates with the tags and transfers the data to a host computer. It also provides features
such as filtering, CRC check, and tag writing. The MC3090-Z RFID mobile computer reads Gen2 (dense reader
mode) RFID tags.

Application directory and select RFIDSample3Plus.exe. See Chapter 4, RFID Sample Application.

3. Aim the mobile computer at the tag, oriented horizontally or vertically depending on the tag orientation. The

distance between the tag and the antenna is the approximate read range.

4. Press the trigger or tap the on-screen Read command within the application to interrogate all RFID tags within

the radio frequency (RF) field of view and capture data from each new tag found. Release the trigger or tap the

information.

3 - 4 MC3090-Z RFID Mobile Computer Integrator Guide

Exit LLRP

Tap the LLRP icon, then tap Exit to close the LLRP application.

To restart LLRP after exiting, use
executable (OzoneLLRP.exe).

LLRP Registry Entries

RFID (LLRP) does not run when the MC3090-Z is charging. Developers who require using the cradle with RFID
enabled can select Developer Mode by modifying a registry entry.

•

User Mode - In this default mode, placing the mobile computer in the cradle (with charging on) disables LLRP

and the LLRP icon indicates that it is disconnected. Placing the mobile computer on AC power charges the
device and disables LLRP. Removing AC power reconnects LLRP.

•

Developer Mode - Selecting Developer Mode disables charging and the developer can place the mobile

computer in the cradle for debugging and development. The device remains in Developer Mode regardless of
whether it is charging until re-enabling User Mode.

To select Developer Mode via registry, set the

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symbol\RFID\Ozone]
"DevMode"=dword:00000001

Warm boot the device after registry merge and restart LLRP (if it is not already running).

LLRP checks AC power every five seconds and takes the appropriate action based on whether or not it is in User
Mode.

Chapter 4 RFID Sample Application

Introduction

Application developers can use the RFID sample application RFIDSample3Plus.exe for an overview of how the
application works and to assist in custom application development.

The mobile computer can read, write, lock, kill, and program Gen2 tags. Each tag contains the EPC number (64 or
96 bits), CRC, and kill code. The mobile computer can also collect data by decoding in-range EPC Gen2 RFID
tags.

Initiating the read command within the sample application causes the mobile computer to interrogate all RFID tags
within the radio frequency (RF) field of view. The reader captures data from each new tag and adds it to the list box
in the

EPC ID window. Select Stop Read to stop interrogating tags.

4 - 2 MC3090-Z RFID Mobile Computer Integrator Guide

Launching the RFID Sample Application

Remove the mobile computer from AC power and enable LLRP, then use File Explorer on the mobile computer to
navigate to the

Application folder. Select RFIDSample3Plus.exe to start the sample application.

Reading Tags

To use the sample application to read tags:

1. Aim the mobile computer at the tag, oriented horizontally or vertically depending on the tag orientation. The

distance between the tag and the antenna is the approximate read range.

Figure 4-22

2. Ta p Start Read to interrogate all RFID tags within the radio frequency (RF) field of view, and capture data from

each new tag found.

Figure 4-23

The sample application lists the following information for each tag read:

•

•

RFID Tag Read

RFID Tag List

EPC ID - The data content of the tag.

RSSI - Received Signal Strength for the tag.

•

Count - The number of times the mobile computer read the tag.

•

Data Memory Bank - The memory bank data if you selected Reserved, TID, User, or EPC with offset.

•

MB - The selected memory bank (TID, RSVD, USER or EPC).

Stop Read to stop interrogating tags.
