Operating with the communication interface
The procedure for commissioning the IDENTControl IC-KP-R2-V1 using the serial RS 232
interface in conjunction with a PC and an IPC03 data carrier is described in the following
section. It is assumed that the IDENTControl is in factory default condition when all of the
following steps are performed.
The factory set transfer rate is 9600 baud and no timeout. '99' is the preset tag type (depending
on the reading head).
Check that you have connected an RS 232 interface.
The transfer rate (baud rate) is selected using the software (see chapter 5.4.5).
The following transfer rates are available:
■
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 bits/s
The status is preset at 9600 Mbit/s on delivery.
The device operates with the following parameters (permanent):
■
8 data bits
■
1 start bit
■
1 stop bit
■
No parity
Initial operating steps
1. Start a terminal program on the PC (e.g. Hyperterminal or the command input window pro-
gram from the "RFIDControl" software. The "RFIDControl" software can be downloaded
from our website http://www.pepperl-fuchs.com).
2. Set the following interface configuration on the terminal program:
9600 baud
8 data bits
no parity
1 stop bit
no protocol/handshake
3. Switch the device operating voltage off and on.
The following message appears on the terminal when the voltage is switched on:
2 0 b <ETX>
"2" = Status
"0" = R/W head number
"b" = Check sum
"<ETX>" = End character
Communication between the device and the terminal program is active. The device is ready
for operation.
4. Send the version command
VE#<CR>
from the terminal as confirmation.
The name, article number and a version message for the connected device is displayed
in response.
Note!
Data carrier content from commands that are activated manually on the IDENTControl are
always displayed, irrespective of the menu level that was just displayed.
