5.5 Continuous HF bus mode — Data retrieval
All activated read/write heads are triggered within a time frame of bypass time + 10ms. Within
this time frame, the set command (e.g. inventory, read, write) is processed in Continuous mode.
While a command is being executed by all activated read/write heads, only one read/write
head sends data to the RFID interface. The other read/write heads store the read data for sub-
sequent retrieval. When a new tag is detected by the same read/write head, any data in the buf-
fer of the read/write head that has not yet been transferred to the RFID interface is overwritten.
During the time between two requests and when sending data to the RFID interface, the read/
write heads do not recognize any tags. The required waiting times are given in the following
table:
Command Waiting time
Inventory 15ms
Read 25ms
Write 35ms
By default, the bypass time in HF bus mode is 48ms.
The following table shows when commands are executed (CMD) and data is exchanged (DATA).
n CMD: Command is being executed.
n DATA: Data is being exchanged.
n DATA or CMD: If data is stored on the read/write head, the data is sent to the TBEN module. If
no data is stored on the read/write head, the command is executed.

5.6 LED displays on read/write heads in HF bus mode
In HF bus mode, the LEDs on the read/write heads have the following display functions:
LED Condition Function
Green Flashes 3x, 0.5-s break
(recurring)
Incorrect read/write head address or no
read/write head address assigned
Flashing (1Hz) Read/write head not activated
The yellow LED has no specific function in HF bus mode.
