2 HF Bus Mode – Overview
In HF bus mode, up to 32 bus-compatible read/write heads per RFID channel can be connected
to the TBEN module. Depending on the number of read/write heads connected and the power
consumption of the connected heads, an additional power supply may be required. In order to
determine whether an additional power supply is required, a power consumption analysis of
the connected read/write heads must be performed. A tool to help calculate the power con-
sumption of the read/write heads is available at www.turck.com/hf-busmodus.
Every connected read/write head supplies a "tag present" signal in HF bus mode. By default, a
command can only be processed by one read/write head, making HF bus mode suitable for
static applications and slow dynamic applications.
In Continuous HF bus mode, a command is performed simultaneously at all read/write heads in
a bus topology. The logged data is stored in the ring memory of the module.

HF bus mode supports the HF read/write heads from firmware version Vx.90. Continuous HF
bus mode supports the HF read/write heads from firmware version Vx.93. On the TBEN-
S2-2RFID-4DXP module, continuous HF bus mode requires firmware version V3.6.1.0 or later.
