Application RFID Data Format
3.1.2. Application RFID Data Format
When the application interface is operating in RFID filtering mode, all data sent to the application will be in
the following format:
Note the following:
• Not all fields will be valid for all formats. For some tag types, such as the DoD-64 and DoD-96, the
Product Code will be set to zero.
• At present, the second Product Code UINT will always be set to zero. The second UINT has been added to
allow for future EPCglobal Specification extensions.
• The Company Code, Product/Location Code, Serial Number, Encoding Scheme, Antenna Number, and
Filtering Value will be set to zero for non-tag messages.
• The RFID parameters will be sent to the application in big-endian format. All parameters, with the
exception of the Tag data string, will have to be byte-swapped for use on a little-endian system.
Example:
• A DeviceMaster UP socket port is operating in RFID filtering mode.
• An RFID tag is received in Intermec ASCII Format: 4,H3014006860E511000001CE8C
• The data sent to an application would have the following format:
Field Data Type Description
Company Code UDINT[2]
Company Code extracted from tag data. Depending on encoding scheme,
this field may include Company Prefixes, Company Prefix Indexes, or
Government Managed Identifier.
Product/Location
Code
UDINT[2]
Product Code extracted from tag data. Depending on encoding scheme,
this field may include the Item reference, location reference, asset
reference, object class, or be set to zero.
Serial Number UDINT[2]
Serial Number extracted from tag data.
Depending on the encoding scheme, this field may include the Serial
Number or individual asset reference.
Encoding Scheme UINT Encoding Scheme from tag data
Filtering Value UINT Filtering value from tag data
Antenna Number UINT Antenna number on RFID Reader/Scanner
Tag Data Length UINT Length of RFID tag string in bytes
Tag Data BYTE[32]
Tag data string (variable length field). May also include non-tag
messages, which can optionally be sent to the PLC and/or application.
