END_TYPE

The function block FB_RFIDReader of the TwinCAT PLC RFID library offers the enumeration values displayed in the code area at the eResponse output. These are partly analogous to the telegram response types of the manufacturer-specific protocols. Which manufacturer-specific MessageID corresponds to the response listed here is indicated in italics in the following description. Due to the complexity of the evaluation, not all equivalents are listed. If necessary, detailed information is given by the raw data representation ST_RFID_RawData at the output of the function block.

Value

Description

eRFR_NoRsp

This value indicates that no response has arrived recently.

eRFR_Unknown

This value indicates that the telegram that arrived could not be assigned to a certain type and was therefore also not evaluated. This is usually accompanied by an error message (bError = TRUE).

eRFR_Ready

Some RFID reader models indicate their operational readiness, e.g. after a reset, with an extra telegram. In this case eResponse assumes the value eRFR_Ready.

Equivalent in proprietary protocol:
Leuze: 'S'
Pepperl+Fuchs: Status='2'

eRFR_CmdConfirmation

The sent command is confirmed with this response. This can occur with many commands.
Exceptions are the commands "Changing the configuration" and "Writing data", because these two commands are followed by special confirmations, which are represented by the following two enumeration values.

Equivalent in proprietary protocol:
Leuze: 'Q2', 'Q4'

eRFR_CfgChangeExecuted

If the RFID reader configuration has been changed, the RFID reader sends this telegram to confirm the action.

Equivalent in proprietary protocol:
Leuze: 'Q1'

eRFR_WriteCmdSucceded

The RFID reader sends this confirmation as soon as data has been written to the transponder.

Equivalent in proprietary protocol:
Leuze: 'Q5'

eRFR_NoTransponder

This response is given if no transponder is in the reading field. This is not necessarily evaluated as an error, so that the output bError is also not set.

Equivalent in proprietary protocol:
Leuze: '$18'
Pepperl+Fuchs: Status='5'

eRFR_Error

If a telegram has been received that transferred an error code, then eRFR_Error is output at the eResponse output. The transmitted error code is specified in the output variable iErrCodeRcv (see RFID error codes).

If eResponse assumes the value eRFR_Error, an error is also signaled by bError = TRUE at the output of the function block.

Equivalent in proprietary protocol:
Balluff: <NAK>+Failurenumber
Deister: MessageErrorCode>=16#20
Leuze: 'Exx', 'Q0'

eRFR_Data_ReaderVersion

An RFID reader is requested by a version query to send model information. This kind of received data is designated with the value eRFR_Data_ReaderVersion at the eResponse output.

eRFR_Data_Config

A read RFID reader configuration is indicated by the enumeration value eRFR_Data_Config.

Equivalent in proprietary protocol:
Leuze: 'G'

eRFR_Data_Inventory

This type of telegram is indicated if a transponder has been detected or if the serial number of a transponder has been read.

eRFR_Data_ReadData

Receipt of data read from the transponder memory is signaled by the value eRFR_Data_ReadData.

Equivalent in proprietary protocol:
Deister: MessageID=16#40 or 16#41
