Operating Modes
The ID Controller has two modes: RUN mode and MAINTENANCE mode.
■
RUN mode
In RUN mode, operation is performed according to commands from the host device and results are
returned to the host device as responses.
■
MAINTENANCE Mode
In MAINTENANCE mode, communications test with Data Carriers are performed offline.
Communications with Data Carriers are repeated every 0.5 s. The COMM1/COMM2 indicator will flash
during communications with a Data Carrier. When processing has been completed, the results will be
displayed on the monitor display using end codes.
Both read tests and write tests can be performed in MAINTENANCE mode. In the read test, one byte
of data is read repeatedly. In the write test, one byte of data is written repeatedly. The contents of the
Data Carrier is not changed during a write test. Use these tests to check operation when installing a
system.
Do not change the Data Carrier when executing tests in MAINTENANCE mode.
