The "XML" tab
The "XML" tab is divided into the following areas:
•
XML basic settings
• Diagnostic events of XML channel 1
Figure 6-8 The "Settings - Communication" menu item, "XML" tab
XML basic settings
You can enable/disable the XML communication via the XML interface of the reader in the
"XML basic settings" area. In addition, you can define which events are sent to the controller
via all XML channels and via which XML channels the communication to the interfaces is
transmitted.
Table 6- 12 Description of the XML basic parameters
Parameter Description
Parallel When the check box is selected, parallel diagnostic access via the XML channel
can be enabled in addition to an existing connection, e.g. to a controller (PLC).
In the case of parallel access, note that the XML application only has read
access to the reader. If access to the communications module already takes
place from another application at the same time, this option cannot be
selected.
If the function is disabled, access to the reader can only take place over a
communication channel. If a connection is already established over a
communication channel, an additional connection attempt from another
communication channel is rejected.
Transaction-secured
transmission
If the check box is selected, each frame (XML report) received from the user
application of the reader is confirmed with a response frame. If no response
frame is received by the reader within 10 seconds, it sends the report to the
application again. Reports that are not transmitted are buffered in the reader.
With this function, you can make sure that no frames from the reader are lost
even if the connection is unstable (e.g. WLAN connection aborts occasionally).
This function also allows batch operation of the reader when there is only a
connection to the user application at certain times. The reader collects the
frames and these can, when necessary, be called up using a PC application.
