CHAPTER 3: RFID COMMANDS
3.2 RFID C OMMANDS
The HS500E uses a 2-byte Command ID number to specify the type of operation to
perform.
Commands 02, 03 and 05 must include the command prefix “AB” (0xAB), as in
AB03 (for Command 03) .These three commands instruct the HS500E to perform
standard RFID operations such as reading from and writing to an RFID tag.
Commands F1, F3 and F4 must be appended with “00” (0x00), as in F300 (for
Command F3).
Commands F1, F3 and F4 are used to retrieve information or modify
configuration settings that are stored internally in the HS500E Antenna.
Command F2xx is designed to continuously repeat one of the first three commands
(where xx represents
the type of repetitive command). Command F2 is to be
appended with 02, 03 or 05 which evokes R
epetitive Read, Write or Fill commands.
For example,
F202 indicates a Repetitive Read Data command.
