6 Stand-alone Mode

Stand-alone Mode is designed to use the reader without using any command set. While in this

mode, the reader is limited to tag reading.

The reader sends the tag ID to the Host System using ASCII protocol via the Reader-to-Host

interface.

ASCII protocol is used in order to provide hexadecimal data that can be read by a variety of

terminal programs (e.g. Microsoft® HyperTerminal).

6.1.2 Repetition Option

The reader constantly attempts to read any chips present in the field. When a chip ID is detected,

the reader can send the information to the host in one of 2 modes:

1. In “Repeated Read” mode, the reader returns a chip’s ID to the host with each successful

read operation.

Medio P101-WIFI

34/42 Revision 1.0 February 2006

2. In “Read Once” mode, the reader only returns the ID of a chip if the previous read

corresponds to a different chip, or if all reading attempts have failed 4 times (this feature

makes it possible to detect a chip’s potential exit out of the field).

6.1.3 Trigger Input

When the trigger capability is enabled, a trigger state is used to start and stop the RF scanning.

The trigger is connected to the input of the reader.

Depending on the reply settings of the trigger, the ASCII message can be sent during the trigger

activity (Repeated Read mode and Read Once mode are available) or at the end of the trigger. In

this last case, a message is always sent to the host system:

 if a tag has been read, the message contains its ID,

 if a tag has not been read, the message contains a No Message string (that can be defined)

as shown in Table 6.

7 Connecting Peripheral Devices

7.1 Using the Universal Input pin

The reader input can be driven by a voltage source from 0V up to 25V referring to the input ground.

A relay (open chain transistor, switch…) can also be used to connect the input pin and its ground.

- Low level input voltage is defined to be in the range of 0 to 1.5V

- High level input voltage is defined to be in the range of 3 to 25V

7.2 Using the Universal Output pin

The output pin is an open drain power transistor that can drive a current up to 6A. When activated,

the power transistor connects the output pin and its ground.

The output transistor is protected against heating and current overload. If an overload happens, the

output stops driving current automatically. The output must be turned off to be re-activated.

7.2.1 Output Wiring

Example: Connecting a LED to the Output

+12V (Input voltage)

Pin 1

Pin 2

470 Ohms

The LED’s cathode is connected to the

Output pin and its anode to the Output Supply

Pin. Note that the Output supply selector is

configured to deliver 5V to supply the LED.

The internal serial resistor limits the current

delivered to the LED.
