Read/Write Operating Mode
Introduction
For read/write operations 2 operating modes are available:
Static read/write: applications where the tag is stopped in front of the Smart Antenna.
Dynamic read/write: applications where the tag does not stop in front of the Smart Antenna.
Static Read/Write
The controller must run cyclic scanning of the status of the Smart Antenna before sending read or
write requests addressed to the internal memory of the tag.
A table of words in the system memory area of the Smart Antenna is dedicated to this function:
Status word: a bit of this word is set to 1 when a tag is detected by the Smart Antenna.
Tag counter: this word is incremented each time a new tag is detected by the Smart Antenna.
UID: a group of 8 words where the UID of the last tag detected by the Smart Antenna is stored.
The combination of these information gives the exact status of the system:
Arrival of a tag in front of the Smart Antenna.
New tag or same tag as previous one.
Read/Write operations in the tag possible or not.
