MPRX User Guide Chapter 3 General Software Information Command Entry Conventions All MPRX commands are preceded by the start-of-message character (#). The end-of-message sequence expected from the host is a carriage return (CR). The MPRX terminates messages with a return and a linefeed (CR/LF). For example, the command #01 Switch To Command Mode is typed as follows: #01 where is the Enter or Return key. Some command characters may be represented by the letter N.
Chapter 3 General Software Information Table 11 Sample Command Sequence Entry MPRX Response Notes #01 #Done Switches MPRX to command mode #505 #Model E4 Series Ver X.XX SN97001P Reports the software version and serial number #00 #Done Returns MPRX to data mode In command discussions, MPRX response characters may be shown in brackets < >. The use of brackets indicates that the response is a value in the range of characters.
MPRX User Guide Download Considerations You should consider the following factors when performing Program Download: • The MPRX does not process tags while in download mode. • The MPRX does not accept any program data unless a successful erase of flash memory has been performed before transmitting the data. Erasing the flash memory typically takes two seconds. • Cycling reader power after exiting from download mode re-executes startup.
Chapter 3 General Software Information Boot Failure Message Upon powering up, the software performs a checksum verification on itself. The function returns a specific value for the particular version of software. If the value returned is not correct, the boot code assumes that the application code has been corrupted and a failure condition exists. If the failure message does not transmit, a communications error has occurred or the boot has failed to the extent that it cannot transmit the failure message.
MPRX User Guide Chapter 4 Communications Protocols Introduction The MPRX supports the following communications protocols: • Basic • Error correcting • Data inquiry The following protocol information provides reference information relevant to developing host software. Communications are performed using the 7-bit ASCII code with optional parity, providing easy setup, testing, and diagnostics with standard ASCII terminals and serial printers.
Chapter 4 Communications Protocols Basic Protocol With basic protocol, messages sent to and from the MPRX and the host are transmitted without error checking. For each host transmission, the MPRX returns a #Done or #Error message to the host. When the host device is physically close to the MPRX and no sources of interference exist, the basic protocol provides reliable communications.
MPRX User Guide Data Inquiry Protocol Data inquiry protocol is a basic protocol option that allows the host to control transmission of reader tag data. The selection of data inquiry protocol affects data mode operation. As MPRX acquires tags, it buffers them but does not transmit them. Instead, the host must poll MPRX for each tag by sending a CTRL-E character (hex 5 digit). MPRX transmits one message (tag ID or report data) for each CTRL-E it receives until the buffer is empty.
Chapter 4 Communications Protocols When the host receives a properly framed message, it can calculate a 16-bit CRC value. The calculation is applied to the character string that immediately follows the and that ends with the character immediately preceding the first character. Transmitted CRC value can then be compared with the binary equivalent of the received characters.
MPRX User Guide Switch to Command Mode Request The host device may issue command #01 Switch to Command Mode while in data mode.
Chapter 4 Communications Protocols Command code, a string that contains from two to four ASCII hex characters [] Optional data field, an ASCII string of as many as 20 characters in length. For example, the store hardware configuration string command is #696S...S or command #696 Store Hardware Configuration String followed by the data string S...S.
MPRX User Guide where # Start-of-message character 4 Message sequence number KING 1302 Message data: Tag ID is shown.
Chapter 4 Communications Protocols Reader response #7Done or #7Error For some commands, the MPRX responds with data that relates to the command, such as T0F 0, to indicate the mode enabled for a #570 Display Operating Mode Status command. #7Error will be returned if host transmission is not a legal command with legal data. Timing and Synchronization The ECP is largely independent of baud rate. The timeout delays previously described are a function of baud rate.
MPRX User Guide acknowledgment message, a logical NAK condition is declared, and the initiator assumes the message was received in error. In this instance, the message is retransmitted until an acknowledgment message is received. The message recipient, such as the host device in data mode and the MPRX in command mode, starts a timeout counter when a character is received.
Chapter 4 Communications Protocols Asynchronous Message/Command Message Collision If the MPRX transmits asynchronous data at the same time that the host sends a command, the MPRX gives priority to receiving the command. It processes the command and sends a message before it retransmits the asynchronous data. Host-Addressed Failure Conditions The host device addresses the following failure conditions.
MPRX User Guide The MPRX accepts four ASCII < ` > characters (60 hex) as a wild card CRC value in lieu of a valid fourcharacter CRC value to facilitate testing and diagnostic checkout. The MPRX implements the algorithm with a 512-byte lookup table to reduce the processing overhead requirements. To simplify the implementation of the CRC algorithm by host software developers, several examples of the calculation are provided in C source code on the following pages.
Chapter 4 Communications Protocols Example 3 contains an example of UPDCRC that does require a lookup table.
MPRX User Guide Example 4 shows an example of a function that creates the lookup table. #include
Chapter 4 Communications Protocols You must acknowledge existing messages by issuing commands with the generic format: #x@‘‘‘‘ where # Start-of-message character x Message sequence number. This must be the same as the sequence number of the message being acknowledged @ ACK (acknowledgment character) <‘‘‘‘> Wild card CRC value for the message End-of-message character The following is a typical sequence after power-on limiting buffered messages.
MPRX User Guide Chapter 5 Commands Default Settings The MPRX is delivered from the factory with specified default settings that determine how the reader operates. Commands transmitted by the host device can change the default settings and control additional features. The commands can be transmitted by manually entering the commands at the host keyboard if the host is in terminal emulation mode. The MPRX can also communicate with ASCII terminals.
Chapter 5 Commands Command Mode While the MPRX is in the command mode, the host device sends commands to the MPRX that can be used to control the reader operation and configuration. After the MPRX receives a command, it transmits a command response message. Typically, the command message contains #Error, #Done, or data relating specifically to the command request.
MPRX User Guide Command List Reader commands are divided into groups based on a primary function. The following sections provide information about each command in command number order. Refer to “Command Quick Reference” on page D–116 for listings of commands in numerical and alphabetical order. In the following text, the symbols represent variable message data. These symbols are not part of the message syntax.
Chapter #8151 5 Commands Set Check Tag Address to 1 on Check Tag pin 0. Reader response: #Done #8152 Set Check Tag Address to 0 on Check Tag pin 1. Reader response: #Done #8153 Set Check Tag Address to 1 on Check Tag pin 1. Reader response: #Done Note: The MPRX transmits ID codes to the host device when the MPRX is in data mode. 01 Switch to Command Mode #01 switches the reader to command mode, which allows the reader to accept commands from a host or terminal.

Table 15 Append Time and Date Commands Command Append Option 300 No time and date appended 302 Time and date appended (factory default) The reader transmits messages with time and date appended as follows. One space separates the time from the date. &
Chapter q current status of input0 and input1 (0 to 3) sss relative to tag read strength 5 Commands Reader response: #Done ID Filtering — Command Group 4 Group 4 commands set criteria for filtering (buffering or discarding) ID codes. These commands are useful for eliminating duplicate ID codes and selecting the type of tags read by the MPRX. 40 Transmit All ID Codes #40 instructs the reader to transmit all IDs without regard for uniqueness.
MPRX User Guide Separation of three and four IDs transmit the new ID only if it is different from the first three and the first four items, respectively. Note: A new ID can fail the filter test and not be transmitted; however, it remains stored in the comparison register. The uniqueness test has a time limit as set by Command #44N.
Chapter #443 5 Commands 30 seconds Entering these commands effectively expires the timeout clock, which erases all current IDs in the comparison register. In effect, the first ID that is acquired after the clock expires always appears to be new and is stored. Newly acquired IDs are only tested against IDs that are registered after the clock resets. The timeout clock is continually reset (does not expire) as long as the reader receives the same tag ID.
MPRX User Guide 457 Disable SeGo Protocol Tag Initialization During Multi-tag Sort #457 disables the reader from sending the SeGo protocol tag initialize command as part of the multi-tag sort function. Any SeGo protocol tags already identified by the reader during the sort process will not be re-identified as long as they remain powered in the RF field. The reader will only identify new tags that come into the RF field or tags that do not remain powered in the RF field.
Chapter 5 Commands 506 Display Hardware Configuration Information #506 displays hardware configuration information stored in the reader memory by the user.
