Alarms are output using OB82. The alarm data can be accessed through SFB 54. Parameterizing possibilities See also Section Configuration parameters of RF180C. ● None An alarm will not be issued in the event of an error. ● Hard errors Alarms are generated in the case of the following events: – Hardware fault (memory test) – Firmware fault (checksum) – Interrupted connection to the reader/SLG An alarm is generated and the SF LED on the S7 CPU is activated. ● Hard/soft errors low priority In contrast to hard errors, in this case, errors are also reported that arise during command processing  An alarm is generated. However the SF LED on the S7 CPU is activated. ● Hard/soft errors high priority As under hard/soft errors low priority An alarm is generated when an event occurs as well as when the event ceases. Incoming alarm An event occurs and triggers an alarm. The SF LED of the S7 CPU is set as parameterized. Outgoing alarm An event no longer exists, an alarm is triggered and the SF LED of the S7 CPU is reset. For events that only exist momentarily, the reset is delayed by 3 seconds.

These diagnostic data are accessed using the FC 45 function with the SLG STATUS and MDS STATUS commands. These two commands can each be called in various modes (subcommands) for which corresponding data structures (UDTs) are defined.

System diagnostics   8.2 Diagnostics functions  SIMATIC RF300 260 System Manual, 06/2008, A5E01642529-02 SLG STATUS (mode 06), UDT280  FZP  Binary value 0 … 255  = Error counter, passive (errors during idle time) ABZ  Binary value 0 … 255  = Abort counter CFZ  Binary value 0 … 255  = Code error counter SFZ  Binary value 0 … 255  = Signature error counter CRCFZ  Binary value 0 … 255  = CRC error counter BSTAT  Binary value 0 … 255  = Current command status ASMFZ  Binary value 0 … 255  = Interface problems to host (ASM/PC) parity, BCC, frame error    Note All counter values are reset after reading (= SLG STATUS command executed).  Explanations: ● "FZP": Counts interference pulses when communication is not taking place with a transponder. (e.g. EMC interference caused by contactors, motors, etc.). Counter values can also be generated when a tag is located at the edge of the field even when there is no external interference. ● "ABZ", "CFZ", "SFZ" and "CRCFZ" are protocol error counters that can be generated during reader/tag communication. This can be caused by unsuitable reader/tag positioning (e.g. tag on field boundary, several data carriers in the field) or external electromagnetic interference. To ensure clear diagnosis of the quality of communication, it is recommended that an SLG STATUS command (mode 06) is executed following receipt of the presence command to reset the error counter. The protocol error counters are not mutually independent. If a code error (CFZ) occurs, this will cause a secondary signature (SFZ) or CRC (CRCFZ) error. ● "BSTAT" is the status for the most recently executed command. A value other than 0 means that the previous command was repeated by the reader due to faults (see above). ● "ASMFZ" signals line-conducted communication interference between the communication module (ASM) and the reader. Faults of this type can be caused by contact problems on the connector or the cable connection.
 System diagnostics  8.2 Diagnostics functions SIMATIC RF300 System Manual, 06/2008, A5E01642529-02  261 8.2.3 Transponder diagnostics with MDS STATUS The MDS STATUS command can be used to scan the status and diagnostics data of the transponder that is located within the antenna field. MDS STATUS (mode 01), UDT260  UID  Binary value  0 … 264 -1  = b0-31: 4 byte TAG ID, b32-63: 0 MDS type  Binary value  0x01 0x02 0x03 = Transponder without FRAM = Transponder with FRAM 8 KB = Transponder with FRAM 32 KB Lock status  Binary value  0 … 255  = Content of lock-bit register (EEPROM addr. 0xFF18) MDS STATUS (mode 02), UDT270  LFD  Binary value  0 … 255  = Value for field strength FZP  Binary value  0 … 255  = Error counter (passive) ➙ errors during idle time FZA  Binary value  0 … 255  = Error counter (active) ANWZ  Binary value  0 … 255  = Presence counter    Note All counter values are reset when the tag exits the field or when the antenna is switched off.  Notes: ● "LFD" is a value for the field strength that is determined in the transponder. The lower the value, the higher the field strength. A setpoint of < 28 hex signals reliable data transfer. ● "FZP" counts fault pulses when communication with a transponder is not taking place (e.g. electromagnetic interference caused by contactors, motors, etc.). Counter values can also be generated when a transponder is located at the edge of the field even when there is no external interference. ● "FZA" counts errors that can occur during reader-to-transponder communication. This can be caused by unsuitable reader/transponder positioning (e.g. transponder on field boundary, several data carriers in the field) or external electromagnetic interference. ● "ANWZ" is the value for the time that the transponder remains in the field before the MDS STATUS command (mode 02) is executed. A time step is 10 ms. The maximum time that can be recorded is therefore 2.5 s.

 SIMATIC RF300 System Manual, 06/2008, A5E01642529-02  271 Glossary Active surface Area with minimum field strength containing the transmission window, as well as the areas in which the field strength is no longer sufficient for data exchange. Automation system (AS) A programmable logical controller (PLC) of the SIMATIC S7 system, comprising a central controller, a CPU and various I/O modules. Battery-free data storage unit Mobile data storage units which operate without batteries. Power is supplied to the data storage unit across an electromagnetic alternating field. Byte A group of eight bits forms a byte CE marking Communauté Européenne (product mark of the European Union) Communication modules Communication modules are used to integrate the MOBY identification systems in SIMATIC or SINUMERIK systems, or to connect them to PROFIBUS, PC or any other system. Once supplied with the corresponding parameters and data, they handle data communication. They then make the corresponding results and data available. Suitable software blocks (FB/FC for SIMATIC; C libraries for PCs with Windows) ensure easy and fast integration in the application. Data transmission rate Unit of measurement for the volume of data transmitted within a unit of time, e.g. bytes/s Dwell time The dwell time is the time in which the transponder dwells within the transmission window of a read/write device. The read/write device can exchange data with the transponder during this time.
Glossary      SIMATIC RF300 272 System Manual, 06/2008, A5E01642529-02 Dynamic mode In dynamic mode, the data carrier moves past the read/write device at a traversing rate which depends on the configuration. Various checking mechanisms (listen-in check, CRC, ECC, etc.) ensure error-free data transfer even under extreme environmental conditions. A serial connection (up to 1000 m) is used to connect the read/write device directly to an interface module, PC, or any other system. Electromagnetic compatibility Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of an electrical or electronic device to operate satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment without affecting or interfering with the environment over and above certain limits. EMC Directive Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility This guideline relates to any electrical or electronic equipment, plant or system containing electric or electronic components. Equipotential bonding Potential differences between different parts of a plant can arise due to the different design of the plant components and different voltage levels. It is necessary to compensate for these differences by equipotential bonding: this is done by combining the equipotential bonding conductors of power components and non-power components on a centralized equalizing conductor. ESD Directive Directive for handling ESDs. Frequency hopping Frequency hopping technique Automatic search for free channels.  In frequency hopping, data packets are transferred between the communication partners on constantly changing carrier frequencies. This makes it possible to react to interference from devices transmitting signals in the same frequency range. If an attempt to send a data packet is unsuccessful, the packet can be transmitted again on a different carrier frequency. Interface modules (ASM) See communication modules IQ-Sense interface Simple interface on the IQ-Sense module, using a standard design for all types of sensors, enabling integrated data exchange between the sensor and control system.
 Glossary   SIMATIC RF300 System Manual, 06/2008, A5E01642529-02  273 Limit distance The limit distance is the maximum clear distance between the upper surface of the read/write device and the transponder, at which the transmission can still function under normal conditions. M Centerpoint of a field of a transmission window Metal-free area Distance/area which must be maintained between the transponder and metal in order to prevent interference during data transfer between the transponder and read/write device. Mobile data storage units (MDS) See transponder Multi-tag capability Multi-tag capability means the ability to use several read/write devices which communicate simultaneously with different data carriers. Programmable logic controller (PLC) The programmable logic controllers (PLC) of the SIMATIC S5 system consist of a central controller, one or more CPUs, and various other modules (e.g. I/O modules).  Read/write devices (SLG) See readers Read/write distance See transmission distance Readers Readers ensure fast, secure data transfer between mobile data storage units and higher-level systems (PLCs, PCs, etc.). The data, energy included, are transmitted inductively across an electromagnetic alternating field or by radio. This principle enables contact-free data transmission, ensures high industrial compatibility and works reliably in the presence of contamination or through non-metallic materials.
Glossary      SIMATIC RF300 274 System Manual, 06/2008, A5E01642529-02 RFID systems SIMATIC RF identification systems control and optimize material flow and production sequences. They identify reliably, quickly and economically, use non-contact data communication technology, and store data directly on the product. They are also resistant to contamination. Secondary fields The strength of the secondary fields, which exist in addition to the transmission window, is usually lower than that of the transmission window and depends on the metallic environment. Secondary fields should not be used in configuring. Static mode In static mode the transponder is positioned at a fixed distance (maximum: limit distance) exactly above the read/write device.  Tag See transponder Telegram cycles The transfer of a read or write command takes place in three cycles, known as message frame cycles. 1 or 2 bytes of user data can be transferred with each command. The acknowledgement transfer (status or read data) takes place in 3 further cycles. Transmission distance Distance between communication module (read/write device) and transponder (mobile data storage unit) Transmission window Area in which reliable data exchange between transponder and read/write device is possible due to a particular minimum field strength. Transponder An invented word from transmitter and responder. Transponders are used on the product, the product carrier, the object, or its transport or packaging unit, and contain production and manufacturing data, i.e. all application-specific data. They follow the product through assembly lines, transfer and production lines and are used to control material flow. Because of their wireless design, transponders can be used, if necessary, at individual work locations or manufacturing stations, where their data can be read and updated.
