Overview of the Ident library
To program the various identification systems, an Ident library is available.
The following table provides you with an overview of the currently existing blocks that can be
used with the RF680R and RF685R readers.

Ident
blocks
Basic
blocks
Using these blocks, it is simple to program
communication with the Ident systems.
The basic blocks include all the blocks that are
used often.
Write
Extended
blocks
Using these blocks, it is simple to program
communication with the Ident systems.
The extended blocks provide functions that
are required less often for operating the Ident
system.
AdvancedCMD Advanced command set. With the "Ad-
vancedCmd" block it is possible to access
other commands from the Ident command set
and to execute chained commands.
Ident profile Ident_Profile These blocks are available for experts to be
able to include complex command structures
in their own program sequence. It is also pos-
sible to use repeat commands and chaining.
PLC data types System data types IID_HW_CONNECT Data type for all blocks for physical addressing
of communications modules and readers and
for synchronizing the function blocks used for
IID_CMD_STRUCT Data type for the Ident profile for setting the
Status data types IID_READER_STATUS_89_
Data type for the result of "Reader_status"
with the attribute "0x89".
The Ident profile is a single complex block containing all the commands and functions for
Ident. The Ident blocks represent a simplified interface of the Ident profile. Each Ident block
contains a single command of the Ident profile.
Note
Parallel operation using Ident blocks and Ident profile is not possible
Note that the reader cannot be
operated at the same time using the Ident blocks and the
