Filtering/Data Extraction Configuration
To Application Filter Mode
The filter/data extraction mode to be employed on data to be sent to the
application.
• Off
• String (128 char max) - Raw/ASCII data is filtered up to 128 characters (or
bytes) in length.
• RFID (EPCglobal formats) - RFID data in any of the EPCglobal formats
are filtered, the associated parameters are extracted, and the extracted
data and RFID tag are sent to the application in a specified format.
• Barcode (UPC/EAN formats) - Barcode data in specified UPC/EAN formats
is filtered, the associated parameters are extracted, and the extracted
data and barcode are sent to the application in a specified format.
Note: 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.
To Application Filtering
Options (RFID Only)
Defines the RFID filtering criteria to the application. If an option is enabled,
it is used to decide when an RFID tag can be filtered or sent to the PLC.
• Antenna - Include the antenna number in the filtering criteria. This is
data from the RFID reader and not part of the RFID tag.
• Filter Value - Include the filter value in the filtering criteria, which is part
of the RFID tag data.
• Serial Number - Include the serial number in the filtering criteria, which
is part of the RFID tag data.
To Application Filtering
Options (RFID/Barcode)
Defines the barcode filtering criteria and part of the RFID filtering criteria to
the application. If an option is enabled, it is used to decide when a valid RFID
tag or barcode can be filtered or sent to the application.
• Company - Include the company code in the filtering criteria, which is
part of the RFID tag or barcode data.
• Product/Location - Include the product/location code in the filtering
criteria, which is part of the RFID tag or barcode data.
• Encoding/Numbering - Include the encoding/numbering code in the
filtering criteria, which is part of the RFID tag or barcode data.
RFID Antenna Grouping
This setting 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
