Which communication interfaces support the use of macros?
Macros are supported on the following BIS M-62_ Processor units: Ethernet, Profibus,
Profinet, DeviceNet, RS232 and USB interfaces.
What happens to existing Macros if a processor unit must be replaced?
When using a Subnet16™ Gateway, users do not need to worry. Macros and triggers
normally residing in an RFID processor unit
’s flash memory are always backed up in the
Gateway’s flash memory as well. Therefore, if a processor unit should ever require
replacement, all existing macro and trigger settings are automatically exported from the
Gateway to the new RFID processor unit.
In short, when an RFID processor unit is initially connected to the Gateway, macro and
trigger data from the processor unit’s flash memory is compared to the macro and trigger
data backed up in the Gateway from the previous RFID processor unit. If the data does not
match that which is stored on the Gateway, the processor unit’s flash memory will be
overwritten with the backed up data stored in the Gateway’s flash memory.
