RFID COMMAND MACROS
PAGE 29 OF 67
How are macros created?
Macros are created using the powerful, yet simple, C-MacroBuilder™
utility from
EMS. The tool’s easy to use GUI allows the user to create powerful RFID macro
programs quickly and easily.
When used with EMS’ Cobalt Dashboard™
utility, users can effortlessly download,
erase, and manage their macros and triggers, as well as set the operational
configurations of their RFID controllers and Subnet16™ Gateways.
Which communication interfaces support the use of macros?
Macros (and the Dashboard and C-Macro Builder utilities) support communications
with Cobalt, C-Series and HF-0405-Series Controllers across Ethernet, DeviceNet,
Profibus, RS232 and USB interfaces.
What happens to existing Macros if a controller must be replaced?
When using a Subnet16 Gateway, users do not need to worry. Macros and triggers
normally residing in an RFID controller’s flash memory are always backed up in the
Gateway’s flash memory as well. Therefore, if a controller should ever require
replacement, all existing macro and trigger settings are automatically exported from
the Gateway to the new RFID controller.
In short, when an RFID controller is initially connected to the Gateway, macro and
trigger data from the controller’s flash memory is compared to the macro and trigger
data backed up in the Gateway from the previous RFID controller. If the data does
not match that which is stored on the Gateway, the controller’s flash memory will be
overwritten with the backed up data stored in the Gateway’s flash memory.
How can I learn more about the Dashboard and C-Macro Builder?
More information regarding macros, triggers, uploading, downloading, configuring
and monitoring EMS RFID equipment is available in the respective User’s Manuals
for these products, which are available on the EMS website at: www.ems-rfid.com
