External Triggered Tag Inventory Operation
In many applications, the MP9311 can be triggered by an external device such as a
proximity switch or optical sensor. In these cases, the MP9311 can be configured
to generate tag inventory operations (Rd) for as long as Digital Input 0 (DIN0) is
asserted. Digital Output 0 (DOUT0) can also be set to indicate that a successful tag
inventory operation was performed.
NOTE: The tag inventory operation performs a process called singulation on the tag population
and obtains the tag ID for those tags in the RF field.
Reader Setup
To setup the reader for external trigger, several MP9311 configuration registers
must be modified. Perform the following to setup the reader for external trigger:
1. Verify you have RF Command Suite installed on your PC.
2. Start up RF Command Suite and select the Command interface tab.
3. Press the
Auto Read
function key (Function Set 1).
4. Place a tag in the RF field and verify the tag data is displayed on the
Tag Summary
interface.
5. Next, set the Protocol Configuration Word (PCW) to enable triggered reads on Digital
Input 0 and output a read verification on Digital Output 0 (this is equivalent to setting
the PCW to 0x2200).
