3.2.2 TEST mode
TEST mode is used when starting the RFID system or when performing maintenance.
To set the mode to TEST mode, either set the test switch located on the front of the
RFID interface module to “TEST,” or set the test mode execution request (Y15) to ON
in the sequence program.
Table 3.3 TEST mode functions list
Function
Description Reference
Communication test
Has the RFID interface module read ID tag data without operating the sequence
program.
Checks whether a sequence program, antenna, or ID tag caused a read error
when a data read error occurs with an ID tag.
Section 5.1.3(2)
Distance level
measurement
Checks the potential maximum communication distance of the installation distance
of the ID tag.
Use this function to adjust the installation location.
Section 5.1.3(3)
Communication
success rate
measurement
Checks the data reading potential in terms of the repeated execution success rate,
in the installation state with the ID tag in a stationary state.
Use this function to adjust the installation location.
Section 5.1.3(4)
Speed level
measurement
(read)
Checks the data reading potential in terms of the number of times read can be
repeatedly executed while moving an ID tag.
Use this function to adjust the ID tag movement speed.
Section 5.1.3(5)
Speed level
measurement
(write)
Checks the data writing potential in terms of the number of times write can be
repeatedly executed while moving an ID tag.
Use this function to adjust the ID tag movement speed.
Section 5.1.3(5)
Noise level
measurement
Checks whether noise that adversely affects communication with an ID tag is
occurring in the area surrounding the antenna installation location.
