8.1.4 HF applications â setting HF bus mode
NOTE
In HF bus mode a command is always only meant for one read/write head. While the
command is being executed, there is no data communication with other read/write
heads.
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. The read/write heads
can be addressed as follows:
n Automatic addressing
n Manual addressing via the Set HF read/write head address command
n Manual addressing via the Turck Service Tool
The addresses must be assigned per channel from 1 to 32.
Addressing read/write heads automatically
NOTE
Turck recommends making the bus address of the read/write head visible on the
device. The label on the cable can be used to mark the address on the read/write
head. The appropriate labels can be ordered with ID 6936206.
Read/write heads with the default bus address 68 can be addressed automatically. For this to
happen, the corresponding XCVR bit must be set in the parameter data.
î Switch on the RFID interface power supply.
î Activate the required read/write heads in the parameter data via the appropriate XCVR
bit.
î Connect the read/write heads to the interface one after the other in a line.
a Addresses are allocated in ascending order to the read/write heads in the order in which
the heads were connected. The lowest address is automatically assigned to the next
read/write head with the default address 68 that is connected.
a The addressing is successful if the LED of the read/write head is permanently lit.
