Note that if there are error messages, the error LED ("ER") of the reader flashes. You can
read the error using the XML or PLC error codes. As an alternative, you can also recognize
the error using the LED status display of the RF680R and RF685R readers as described in
the section "How the LED status display works (Page 289)".
The following table explains the XML/PLC error codes. Only the errors relevant to the RF600
readers are included in the PLC error codes (STEP 7). You can find all other error codes in
the corresponding Ident profile manual.
