OVERWRITE COUNT CONTROL (MD S/L)
The OVERWRITE COUNT CONTROL command is used to manage overwrite counts for EEPROM
Tags. The specified overwrite count control area data is updated to enable determining when the
EEPROM's write life has expired.
1:1 Protocol
Note: The write life for EEPROM Tags is 300,000 writes at 40°C.
Note: When using the multi-access trigger communications designation (MT), the ID controller returns
an end code of 03 after communicating with all Tags.
