6.5.23 ABxF Command 96H: SN Block Write

DESCRIPTION

Command 96H writes data to a single RFID tag specified by its serial number.

DISCUSSION

This command is used to write data to contiguous areas of tag memory. It transfers up to 1 kByte of data from the host to the controller in a single command. The timeout value is given in 1 msec increments and can have a value of 1EH to FFFEH (65,534 ms). When the timeout is set to 0, the controller returns a syntax error. The SN Block Write consists of a Family ID, serial number, and start address, followed by the data stream to be written to the RFID tag. If the write range exceeds the last tag address, the controller returns a syntax error, 21H. It returns a response when done or when the timeout expires.
