Programming via XML interface
This section is intended only for XML users (RF650R/RF680R/RF685R).
This section describes the use of the XML interface of the RF650R, RF680R and RF685R
readers. When using the XML interface, you can operate the readers via Ethernet
(communications protocol "TCP/IP", network port "10001"). The XML interface includes the
following functions:
● Read out and write transponder data via the reader
● Read out reader information
● Read out reader configuration
● Reader parameter assignment
● Reset reader
● Process IO
● Receive messages
● Receive tag events
● Receive RSSI events
● Receive IO events
● Use secure transmission
Functionality of the XML interface
The XML interface is based on command/reply frames and the reader can also send
asynchronous reports. Each command that you send is replied to by the reader with a reply
frame regardless of whether the command was executed successfully or not. If errors occur
during communication, the reply frame contains an error description.
To ensure unique assignment of the commands and replies, each command must include a
unique ID. This ID is repeated in the corresponding reply frame.
Normally, the reader replies to a command within 5 seconds. We recommend that you
program your application so that if this time is exceeded, the application starts appropriate
error handling.
