Application Filtering/Data Extraction
Application Filtering/Data Extraction
Access the Filtering/Data Extraction Configuration section corresponding to the desired serial or socket port:
1. Set To Application Filter Mode to the desired mode.
2. For String (128 char max): set the Filter Age Time to how long after the last read you want an entry to be filtered.
3. Use the appropriate procedure for your environment:
•

RFID (EPCglobal Formats)
Use the following procedure to configure application filtering and data extraction properties for RFID devices using an
EPCglobal format.
1. Set any or all of the To Application Filter Options (RFID Only) filtering options.
2. Set any or all of the To Application Filter Options (RFID/Barcode) filtering options.
Note: You must select at least one filtering option for filtering/data extraction to function.
3. If Antenna Grouping is desired, set RFID Antenna Grouping option to reflect your antenna configuration. The
antenna grouping allows you to treat a subset of the antennas on a RFID reader as a single RFID reader. See the
for more detail.
4. Set the RFID Reader Interface Type to that of your RFID reader configuration. If your RFID reader is not listed, refer
to the
or the supported RFID reader interfaces. If
your RFID reader format matches one the listed formats, the set the RFID Reader Interface Type to that format.
5. Set the Filter Age Time to how long after the last read you want an entry to be filtered. In other words, after receiving
a tag that matches the filtering criteria, no other tags that match the same criteria will be sent until the amount of
time specified in the Filter Age Time has expired.
6. If you want the DeviceMaster UP to discard any non‐RFID tag messages, set the Discard Unrecognized Data to either
To-Application
or To-PLC/Application.
Refer to the
for more information.
To Application RFID Data Format
When the application interface is operating in RFID filtering mode, all data sent to the application is in the following
format:
Note: The RFID parameters will be sent to the application in big-endian format. All parameters, with the
exception of the tag data string, will have to be byte-swapped for use on a little-endian system.
