This direction of movement uses the horizontal magnetic field of the reader, see figure below. You also have the option of moving the tags up and down (or down and up) past the narrow edge of the reader. This direction of movement uses the vertical magnetic field of the reader. KRUL]RQWDOYHUWLFDO Figure 1 Definition of horizontal and vertical magnetic reader field Maximum magnetic field strength The reader creates the maximum magnetic field about 13 mm below the upper reader edge. For the largest possible reading range the tags you want to read should move in this range. This applies whether you use the horizontal or the vertical magnetic field. 'RSW PP Figure 2 Line of maximum magnetic field strength The area of the maximum field strength and, therefore, the maximum range is identified by a laser icon: Figure 3 Laser icon marking

SIMATIC RF382R Scanmode J31069-D0214-U001-A1-7618, 10/2009 9 Setting the parameters of the RF382R Certain parameters of the scan mode can be changed during operation. These parameters are transferred from the host to the reader via the serial interface for this purpose. You can change the following parameters this way: ● ScanMode: Single Read (single reading of a tag) or Continuous Read (continuous reading of a tag) ● LockTime: Lock time for the setting "Continuous Read" ● Retentive: The parameters are stored in the non-volatile Flash memory of the reader. The interface parameters for transfer are set permanently to 38400, 8, n, 1. This data sequence can be easily integrated into an existing application because the parameter assignment frame is open. Structure of the parameter assignment frame to the reader You can transfer a new parameter set to the reader at any time during operation. When a parameter set is received, scan mode will be interrupted, and the new parameters are checked and adopted if they are found to be "good". Scan mode will start up immediately once the parameters have been accepted. Note Data will be lost during parameter setting (which means from receipt of a parameter frame until acknowledgment) if operation continues. The parameters are either saved in RAM (status = 00) only or retentively (status = 01). The command for transmission of parameters ("Para") is 01. Data backup takes place with a simple EXOR operation (BCC) of all data bytes to be transferred. The parameters will be transferred as a data sequence (message frame). The following parameters can be modified: ● "LockTime" parameter; you can set values of 0..65535 (time base 100 ms) ● "ScanMode" parameter; you can set ContinousRead (00) and SingleRead (01) All the other parameter bytes are reserved for future use and have to be assigned with 0. Sending parameters to the reader Command byte "Para" Status 1st byte (res.) … 6th byte "ScanMode" 7th byte "LockTime" (HighByte) 8th byte "LockTime" (LowByte) … 21st byte (res.) BCC The command message frame consists of 24 bytes that you always have to transfer completely. Acknowledgment of the reader Acknowledgment byte "Para" Error code BCC The acknowledgment message frame consists of three bytes. The acknowledgment byte is identical to the command byte. The error code is zero if the parameters are accepted without errors. An error code other than zero means that the parameters have not been accepted. The following error codes are defined: 01 The command byte is incorrect (only "Para" is permitted) 02 The status byte is incorrect (RAM or retentive only) 03 The Scanmode parameter is incorrect (ContinousRead and SingleRead permitted only) 04 The BCC value in the parameter message frame is incorrect. 05 Data could not be saved retentively (error with Flash type request) 06 Data could not be saved retentively (error with Flash delete) 07 Data could not be saved retentively (error with Flash writing)
