4 Communications Interface

4.1 Configuring the Serial Interface

4.1.1 COM1

In normal use for reading and writing RFID tags, communications with the LRP2000 occurs via the main communications interface, COM1. This communications interface can be accessed by both point-to-point and addressed serial communications protocols. For point-to-point serial communication, the LRP2000 supports RS232 and RS422 as the standard protocols. For multiplexed communications, Ethernet is available as an option. The RS422 interface is especially suited for long cable lengths, and for noisy environments.

NOTE: The delay between the characters sent to the controller cannot be longer than 200 ms.

The options for each configuration parameter for the COM1 interface are listed in Table 8.

Table 8: COM1 Parameters

	Baud rate	1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
	Baud rate	19200, 38400 bps
		19200, 38400 bps

	Number of Data Bits	7, 8

	Number of Stop Bits	1

	Parity	Even, Odd, None

	Flow Control	None, Xon/Xoff

The default configuration parameters for COM1 are listed in Table 9.

Baud rate	9600 bps

Number of Data Bits	8

Number of Stop Bits	1

Parity	None

Flow Control	None

4.1.2 COM2

For the purpose of configuring the controller's operating parameters, communication occur via the auxiliary communications interface, COM2. This auxiliary interface only communicates via RS232 and is reserved for configuring and updating the operating parameters, and for updating the firmware in the controller. For example, with the correct hardware dip switch settings, the COM2 interface can be used to configure the parameters of the COM1 interface. The electronics of this interface are also optically isolated from the other circuits of the controller.
