6.7.5 Multi-tag Command Error Code

When the multi-tag commands encounter a fault condition, they indicate the error in a STATUS byte returned in the response. If any of the flag bits of the Status byte are set, then an error has occurred during command execution. In all other ways, the format of the response is the same as a successful response.

The STATUS byte is defined as follows:

7

Antenna Failure

6

R/W Error

 

 

5

Collisions

 

 

4

Internal Error

 

 

3

Timeout

 

 

2

Verify Error

 

 

1

Write Security Error

 

 

0

Reserved

 

 

Some of the error conditions are the same as those found in the single-tag commands, some are new and relate only to the anticollision. If any of the flag bits of the returned status are set, then that condition occurred during the command execution. Multiple conditions can occur in the same command.

Antenna Failure

R/W error

Error during the tag memory access

 

 

Internal Error

Internal error in low-level firmware (contact Escort Memory Systems technical assistance)

 

 

Timeout

Verify Error

Syntax Errors

Syntax errors (error code 21H) are returned in the same format as described for the single-tag commands.
