Communications Errors
• Host communications errors are those that occur during communications between the host device and ID
Controller.
• Tag communications errors are those that occur during communications between the ID Controller,
Antennas, and Tags.
• The error details are all logged in the ID Controller memory and the error codes are displayed on the monitor
display. Error data can be read using the READ ERROR INFORMATION (CF) command.
Note1. If a Tag communications error (error code 70), mismatch error (error code 71), or copy error (error
code 76) occurs when a write command is executed, some or all of the data in the target addresses
may have been overwritten. Overwritten data is not limited to data in the WRITE command. If an error
(error code 70 or 71) or copy error (error code 76) occurs when a write command is executed, keep
retrying the command from the host device until an error no longer occurs. Data at other addresses
(i.e., not at the write addresses) is not affected.
2. An Amplifier error (error code 7C) will occur if an Amplifier is not connected to the ID Controller when
using an Antenna with a Separate Amplifier. A Tag missing error (error code 72) will occur if the
Antenna is not connected to the Amplifier.
3. If the Tag moves out of the communications area while a write command is being executed, all of the
Tag data may not be written and a Tag communications error (error code 70) will occur.
• This warning data is not stored in the ID Controller memory.
