3.5 HOW ARE MACROS CREATED?
Macros are created using the powerful, yet simple, C-Macro Builder™ utility from Datalogic
Automation. The easy to use GUI allows the user to create powerful RFID macro programs
quickly and easily.
When used with Datalogic Automation Cobalt Dashboard™ utility, users can effortlessly
download, erase, and manage their macros and triggers, as well as set the operational
configurations of their RFID controllers and Subnet16™ Gateways.
3.6 WHICH COMMUNICATION INTERFACES SUPPORT THE USE OF
MACROS?
Macros are supported on the following Cobalt Controllers: Ethernet, Profibus, DeviceNet,
RS232 and USB interfaces.
3.7 WHAT HAPPENS TO EXISTING MACROS IF A CONTROLLER MUST
BE REPLACED?
When using a Subnet16™ Gateway, users do not need to worry. Macros and triggers
normally residing in an RFID controller’s flash memory are always backed up in the
Gateway’s flash memory as well. Therefore, if a controller should ever require replacement,
all existing macro and trigger settings are automatically exported from the Gateway to the
new RFID controller.
In short, when an RFID controller is initially connected to the Gateway, macro and trigger
data from the controller’s flash memory is compared to the macro and trigger data backed up
in the Gateway from the previous RFID controller. If the data does not match that which is
stored on the Gateway, the controller’s flash memory will be overwritten with the backed up
data stored in the Gateway’s flash memory.
3.8 HOW CAN I LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DASHBOARD AND C-
MACRO BUILDER?
