Block (hex) Error description
Field disturbance on reader
Possible causes:
• The reader is receiving interference pulses from the environment.
– External interference field. The interference field can be detected with the "inductive field
indicator" of the mobile reader.
– The distance between two readers is too small and does not correspond to the
configuration guidelines.
– The connecting cable to the reader is defective or too long or does not comply with the
specification.
• Too many transmit errors
The transponder was unable to receive the command or the write data from the
communications module correctly even after several attempts.
– The transponder is positioned exactly in the limit area of the transmission window.
– Data transmission to the transponder is being affected by external interference.
• CRC sending error
– The transponder reports CRC errors frequently (transponder is positioned in the limit area
of the reader; transponder and/or reader has a hardware defect).
• Only during initialization: CRC error on receipt of acknowledgment from transponder (cause
as for field interference on the reader).
• When formatting, the transponder must be in the transmission window of the reader,
otherwise a timeout error will occur, in other words:
– The transponder is located exactly in the limit range of the transmission window.
– The transponder is defective and consumes too much power.
– The EEPROM transponder was incorrectly configured by "FORMAT".
• RF300: ECC error
The data cannot be read by the transponder.
Possible causes:
– Transponder data has been lost (transponder defective).
– The transponder was not initialized with the ECC driver.
– The EEPROM memory of the transponder has reached its end of life and the data has
been lost.
– The transponder left the antenna field during the write operation.
–
The command to the communications module was issued incorrectly.
More transponders are located in the transmission window than can be processed at the same
time by the reader.
There is no transponder with the required EPC ID/UID in the transmission window or there is no
transponder at all in the antenna field.
The requested data is not available.
CRC error in reader-transponder communication.
The selected antenna is not enabled.
The selected frequency is not enabled.
The carrier signal is not activated.
