Tag Data Formats
Tags are programmed at the TransCore factory with the tag model number, date of manufacture, and data
format. Contact TransCore for special order entry procedures for the format that applies to your system.
The following tag data formats can be used:
• 10-character alphanumeric ASCII — Four alphanumeric characters are fixed and can be
used to identify either the dealer or the user. The remaining six positions are numeric
and should be unique for each tag issued. For example, the entry ACME000001 might
be specified as the first tag on the order entry form from ACME Rail Lines.
• 20-character alphanumeric ASCII — Four alphanumeric characters are typically fixed
and the remaining 16 positions are numbered sequentially.
• AAR/ISO — For requirements for this format, refer to ISO 10374 and the most recent
version of Association of American Railroads Standard for Automatic Equipment
Identification.
