• Address – The channel Address word is a 2-byte value that will contain
the address or block value within the RFID tag that the command will
execute on.
• BlockSize – The channel BlockSize word is a 2-byte value that will store
the expected Block Size for the tag. Valid values are 0, 4, or 8 bytes per
block. A value of 0 will default to a Block Size of 4 bytes per block.
• Command – The channel Command word is a 2-byte value that will store
the next command for the interface to process. The RFID interface will
execute the command once when this value changes. If a command must be
repeated then set the value to zero first and then change it again to the
desired command. Use a MOV or COP instruction to store the command
value in this tag.
• Data – Depending on the Data Format, the channel Data word is either an
array of 2-byte values or an array of 1-byte values that total 112 bytes in
length per channel. This array is used to store information that will be
directed to the RFID interface. Some commands, such as reading, do not
require the use of this data field. Writing to tags will utilize this
information in conjunction with the length field to inform the RFID
interface what values it needs to write. The size of this word allows the
writing of up to 28 blocks of data to a tag at a time, with each block being
4-bytes in length.
• Length – The channel length word is a 2-byte value that will indicate the
data length for specific commands. Upon completion of a command, this
word will be populated with the number of 16-bit words returned to the
data field; at power up this value must be 0.
Value Command Description
1 Read Single Block Reads a single block of user data.
2 Read Multiple Blocks Reads multiple blocks of user data from a tag.
3 Multi-tag Block Read Reads information from up to four tags.
4 Read Byte Reads bytes of user data from a tag.
5 Start Continuous Read Initiates continuous read mode
6 Stop Continuous Read Stops continuous read mode
8 Teach Continuous Read Provides the ability to automatically set the best time to start
reading in continuous read mode.
