The TAGSYS CONVEYOR TUNNEL READER is delivered with the STX-E standard protocol
application to operate in slave mode: the reader is the slave of the host PC or PLC and replies to
any STX-E command received. For more information about STX-E communication protocol, please
refer to the Lx00 Command Set documentation.

RS232 connection to the reader is used to set the reading parameters, start and stop the reading
or writing operations, etc. It will also be used to get the tags ID data exiting the reader.

Ethernet/Modbus connection to the WAGO Controller can be used for external command of the
conveyor (reading of the state of any Input or Output, changing the state of any outputs Æ start,
stop, belt speed selection, etc).

TAGSYS can provide full commands set, DLLs and JAVA package for software developers to
develop their own application to drive the RFID reader.

List of PLC Inputs:
• Sensor In = photocell at the enter of the RFID tunnel
• Sensor Out = photocell at the exit o the RFID tunnel
• WhitelampL200, GreenlampL200n and RedlampL200 = not used in that mode
• Sensor Out = photocell at the exit o the RFID tunnel
• WhitelampL200, GreenlampL200n and RedlampL200 = not used in that mode
PLC Inputs reading can be used to:
• Trig the RFID reading
• Start any external operation
• Start any external operation
List of PLC Outputs:
• ATVL1, ATVL2, ATVL3, ATVL4 = outputs for conveyor start and speed management (see §
conveyor commands below)
• White-lamp, red-lamp, green-lamp = outputs corresponding to the stacklight
• Trigger = not used in that mode
• Trigger = not used in that mode
PLC Outputs writing can be used to:
