INTRODUCTION - CAEN UHF RFID Readers Communication Protocol 5
1 INTRODUCTION
General Information
This document describes the message format of the communication protocol used by the host and the reader in order
to issuing commands and reply with responses.
The protocol is based on the Attribute Value Pair (AVP) schema and foresees a message header in order to identify the
message scope.
The command set and the firmware architecture draw inspiration from the Reader Protocol 1.0 specification draft from
EPCGlobal but, at now, this protocol is not fully compatible with the same last specifications.
Message fields are described left to right, with the most significant byte on the left and the least on the right.
