Instance Attribute Definitions
Attribute 34
To Application Filter/
Data Extraction
Mode
The filter/data extraction mode to be employed on data to be sent to the application.
• 0 = Off
• 1 = String (128 char max) - Raw/ASCII data is filtered up to 128 characters (or
bytes) in length.
• 2 = RFID (EPCglobal formats) - RFID data in any of the EPCglobal formats is
filtered, the associated parameters is extracted, and the extracted data and RFID
tag is sent to the application in a specified format.
• 3 = Barcode (UPC/EAN formats) - Barcode data in specified UPC/EAN formats is
filtered, the associated parameters is extracted, and the extracted data and
barcode is sent to the application in a specified format. See the
barcode format
definitions in Attribute 41 on Page 28.
The application filter mode can be set independently of the PLC filtering mode. The
only exceptions are:
• If the PLC filter mode is set to RFID, the application filter mode cannot be set to
Barcode.
• If the PLC filter mode is set to Barcode, the application filter mode cannot be set to
RFID.
See the DeviceMaster UP Filtering and Data Extraction Reference Guide (Page 10) for
further details.
Attribute 35
Discard
Unrecognized Data
Mode
This attribute controls what to do with unrecognized RFID or barcode data.
• 0 = Off - Send unrecognized data to the PLC and/or application.
• 1 = Discard unrecognized data to the PLC. Allow sending of unrecognized data to
the application.
• 2 = Discard unrecognized data to the application. Allow sending of unrecognized
data to the PLC.
• 3 = Discard unrecognized data to both the PLC and application.
Attribute 36
RFID Antenna
Grouping
This attribute is applicable only to RFID filtering and only if the Antenna filtering
option is enabled. It allows the DeviceMaster UP to filter RFID tags based on Antenna
groupings. The possible groupings are:
Setting Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group N
Antennas Antennas Antennas Antennas
None 1 2 3 4
Groups of Twos 1,2 3,4 5,6 Etc.
Groups of Threes 1,2,3 4,5,6 7,8,9 Etc.
Groups of Fours 1,2,3,4 5,6,7,8 9,10,11,12 Etc.
First Two Only 1,2 3 4 N+1
First Three Only 1,2,3 4 5 N+2
