ST_RFID_TranspInfo

The structure ST_RFID_TranspInfo indicates the type and the serial number of the last detected RFID transponder. The command GetInventory is used to query and update this information.

Description

sSerialNumber

The serial number of the transponder (frequently 8 bytes) is indicated in the hexadecimal string sSerialNumber. The data type is T_RFID_TranspSRN.

If Balluff RFID readers are used, the serial number of 13.56 Mhz transponders is rotated byte-by-byte by the library function block. This takes place because the serial number read out from a transponder would otherwise not correspond to the serial number read out on another reader. This allows devices from different manufacturers to be operated together in the same network.

eType

The type of transponder is indicated as an enumeration value of the enumeration E_RFID_TranspType.

iDCType

The type of transponder is specified as a numeric code. See the proprietary device-specific transponder type list.
