By clicking the button, a new diagnostics phase is started. Any existing measured values
from previous diagnostics are deleted. If read procedures are triggered via the controller, the
IT system or a digital input, the measured values are displayed in the table and in the RSSI
graph. By clicking the
button, the diagnostics is stopped. Clicking the button deletes the
currently displayed measured values. With the
button, you can halt the display of the
RSSI graph while the diagnostics continues.
Trigger
Note
Diagnostics in the commissioning phase / during normal operation
With the aid of the "Diagnostics
- Tag Monitor" you can monitor the behavior of the
connec
ted RFID system. Here a distinction is made between diagnostics during operation
and diagnostics during the commissioning phase:
•
Diagnostics in the commissioning phase (Trigger = "Continuously")
To monitor the behavior of the RFID system during the commissioning phase, you can
have the read access triggered continuously by the reader itself (Trigger =
"Continuously"). Note that this type of diagnostics influences the triggers of any higher-
level systems because the continuous triggers are given higher priority.
•
Changeover during normal operation (Trigger = "Application")
To monitor the behavior of the RFID system during operation, you can trigger individual
reads manually (Trigger = "Application"). The requirement for this is that the reads are
controlled in normal operation by a higher-level system (e.g. controller/IT system) or by a
digital input.
Note that diagnostics via the tag monitor influences current operation. In particular the
continuous
trigger can lead to data being sent to the higher-level system, that can lead to an
unwanted response.
To perform diagnostics during operation, select the "Application" check box and start the
diagnostics (
). However in the commissioning phase use the option "Continuously".
Follow the steps below to perform diagnostics during operation:
1. Select the "Application" check box.
2. Start the diagnostics phase (
).
3. Click the "Trigger" button.
Follow the steps below to perform diagnostics during the commissioning phase:
1. Select the "Continuously" check box.
2. Start the diagnostics phase (
).
Transponder list
After you have started the diagnostics, all the transponders identified by the reader are listed
in the table (max. 500).
