ASR500 Reader Operation
 
4.3  Description of the individual registers 
4.3.1 Cfg_Delaytime 
The repeat rate of the ID message of the same transponder can be defined by using the con-
figuration register Cfg_Delaytime. It can be set to any interval between 50ms and 13 seconds. If 
the transponder is read again after this time (Delay time), in master mode the ID will be output 
once more at the serial interface, independent of how often it is detected within the time interval. 
In slave continuous mode, renewed addition to the internal buffer will not take place until the de-
lay time has elapsed, independent of how often it is detected within the time interval. In slave 
request mode the delay time is ignored. 
 
4.3.2 Cfg_Format 
ID message: 
The configuration register Cfg_Format is used for setting the output format of the transponder 
ID. The transponder data decoded as per ISO 11784 can be displayed in ASCII format directly 
on simple output terminals. For special application two further ASCII formats are available 
which are transmitted without any checksum. They are both finished by CR LF. With the raw 
data format however the complete transponder data, including control and back-up data, are 
provided with CRC or parity check components. In addition, intermediate steps during data con-
version can also be selected, such as the 'transponder byte structure' or the binary notation for 
transponder data decoded as specified in ISO 11784. For a detailed description of ID message, 
see chapter 5.9. 
In slave request mode an ID is always output only at the moment of detection, not at the time 
when the transponder leaves the detection area. 
 
4.3.3 Cfg_Mode 
Configuration register Cfg_Mode defines the operating mode.

4.3.4 Cfg_Node 
If the reader is used in a network with several readers, it is possible to give the reader an indi-
vidual network address by using the Cfg_Node register. 
 
4.3.5 Cfg_RF 
In applications where for example only one transponder type is used, the configuration register 
Cfg_RF can be used to hide other types supported by the reader (FDX-B, HDX, H4002) and 
thus speed up acquisition.
