What is a macro trigger?
Macros are initiated by “triggers.” Triggers can be configured in numerous ways. A simple
command from the host, such as “execute macro number three” can be considered a trigger.
Triggers can be configured, for example, to activate a macro when a tag enters or leaves a
processor unit’s RF field.
Balluff RFID processor units can store up to eight separate triggers in addition to the eight
macros they can also house. Any trigger can activate any of the eight stored macros.
How are macros created?
Macros are created using the powerful, yet simple, C-
Macro Builder™ Configuration Tool
from Balluff. The easy to use GUI allows the user to create powerful RFID macro programs
quickly and easily.
When used with
Balluff Dashboard™ Configuration Tool, users can effortlessly download,
erase, and manage their macros and triggers, as well as set the operational configurations of
their RFID processor units and Subnet16™ Gateways.
