9 Operation
The device supports different operating modes. An operating mode is set with the command value in
the process data output image.
Command value Operating mode Description
0x00 SINGLE EPC Read and provide an EPC
0x01 READ DATA AUTO Auto-read data
0x02 WRITE DATA AUTO Auto-write data
0x03 EPC REPORT Create an EPC report
0x04 EPC LIST Create an EPC list
0x05 WRITE EPC Write EPC
0x06 READ DATA Read data
0x07 WRITE DATA Write data
0x08 LOCK DATA Lock data
All operating modes use the same status bits and error values in the process images.
In addition to the operating modes the internal antenna of the device can be deactivated. If the
antenna is deactivated, the device can still be addressed via IO-Link, but the device no longer
generates a high-frequency signal. ID tags are not detected by the device. By deactivating the
antenna, interference between devices installed next to each other can be avoided.
The device is activated and deactivated via the bit“ Antenna deactivate“ in the process data output
image. The status of the antenna is read via the bit "Antenna deactivated" in the process data input
image.
