5.2 General notes on working with the app
All transponders have so-called communication protocols that control communication
between the reader and transponder. For transponders in the UHF radio range (RF600
transponders), these communication rules are stored in EPCglobal UHF Class 1 Gen 2 and
valid for the protocols ISO 18000-62 and ISO 18000-63.
Transponder memory configuration
As a rule, each UHF transponder has 4 memory areas (memory banks) in which different,
memory area-specific information is stored.
Figure 5-1 Memory configuration
• RESERVED
Contains Access and Kill password
This memory area is optional and is not present with all transponder types.
• EPC
Contains the EPC (electronic product code), a checksum, and protocol information
• TID
Contains information on the manufacturer and transponder type, as well as a unique serial
number. This information serves the purpose of unique transponder identification.
• USER
