Error codes of the RF200 readers
Note
Validity of the error codes
The following error codes apply only to RF200 readers with an S
-422 interface (CM mode)
You can determine the error code in two ways:
● directly on the reader/CM by counting the flashing pattern of the red error LED
● Through the FB45 variable "error_MOBY".
