Difference between Ident blocks and Ident profile
The Ident profile is a single complex block containing all the commands and functions for
RFID systems and optical reader systems. The Ident blocks represent a simplified interface
of the Ident profile. Each Ident block contains a single command of the Ident profile.
Before starting you should decide which blocks you want to use - Ident profile or Ident
blocks. You can, however, only use one of the two variants. Is not possible to mix the Ident
profile and Ident blocks per channel!
The following table provides an overview of the differences.
