Parameter Assignment For Starting Up And Restarting; Chaining - Siemens SIMATIC Ident Function Manual

4.6.4.7

Parameter assignment for starting up and restarting

The communications module and the reader are restarted by setting the "INIT" parameter.
With the parameter, the CM or the reader and the Ident profile are reassigned parameters
and synchronized.
An "INIT" is necessary after
● Switching on or restarting the controller
● Switching on the power supply of the CM/reader
● Plugging the reader into the CM
● Interruption in Ethernet/IP communication
● An error message by the "STATUS" parameter
4.6.4.8

Chaining

With the Ident profile and the "Advanced" block, it is possible to send chained commands.
Chained commands are sent in their entirety to the reader without waiting for the results of
the first command. This function allows you to execute various transponder commands with
one command start.
With both blocks, you have a command buffer of 10 commands available ("SINT[n]" of
"IID_CMD_STRUCT"). In each command structure, there is a "Chained" bit. This bit must be
set for each chained command. In the last chained command, this bit must not be set so that
the block recognizes that the chain has ended.
Note
Chaining function is device-specific
Please check whether or not the Ident device you are using supports chaining.
At the time of publication of this manual, chaining is supported only by the RF68xR readers.
