5.1 ID-NET™ SPECIAL COMMANDS
The following special command allows to send strings to a Slave #N through the
Master device in an ID-NET™ reading system layout. In order to send this special
command, it is not necessary to switch the reader into
Host Mode .
This special command can be used to send
Serial Motor On and Serial Motor Off
strings (for Energy Saving purposes) or Serial Start String and Serial Stop String (for
Serial On Line operating mode option) to a Slave device in an ID-NET™ reading
system layout.
The VB14N '
Send String To Slave Device #N ' special command must have the
following format:
<ESC> ( <B0
H
> ADDR STRING ) <ESC>
Where:

ADDR :
Device Address

STRING :
String To Send (Length: 1 to 32)
ADDR is a character indicating address of the device in an ID-NET™ Master/Slave
reading system layout:
ADDR = <30
H
> + <Device Address> where:
Device Address = 0 : Standalone device or Master ID-NET™ device
Device Address = 1 to 31: Slave ID-NET™ device
Device Address = 32: ID-NET™ broadcast address
This means:
ADDR = <30
H
> : Standalone device or Master ID-NET™ device
ADDR = <31
H
> to <4F
H
> : Slave ID-NET™ device
ADDR = <50
H
> ID-NET™ broadcast address
