Parameterization of the diagnostics
● Faults are reported by PROFINET IO through the generation of alarms. 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.

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.

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.

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
CommunautĂŠ EuropĂŠenne (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
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.

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.
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 logical controllers (PLCs) of the SIMATIC S5 systems 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 higherlevel 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.

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.
