TAGFIELD<br />

Purpose Statement defining a field in the RFID tag's memory area available for<br />

RFID operations.<br />

Syntax TAGFIELD[,][,[,]]<br />

is the optional name of the field to make available.<br />

1<br />

is the name of the segment to make available. Allowed values:<br />

2<br />

Class 1 tags (EPC Class 1 Version 1):<br />

"@ID" Tag identification segment for EPC data. Default.<br />

ISO18000-6B / EPC UCode 1.19 tags:<br />

"@ID" Tag idenitifcation segment. Default.<br />

"@DATA" Optional data segment.<br />

"@ALL" Tag's complete memory structure.<br />

Gen 2 tags (EPC Class 1 Generation 2):<br />

"@RESERVED" Access and kill password segment.<br />

"@EPC" EPC specific data. Default.<br />

"@TID" Tag identifier.<br />

"@USER" User defined data.<br />

is the field's starting byte in the chosen segment. Default varies<br />

3<br />

according to RFID tag standard and segment in use.<br />

is the length of the field in bytes. Default varies according to the<br />

4<br />

RFID tag standard and EPCGlobal tag format in use.<br />

Remarks The TAGFIELD command is used to specify the field available for<br />

subsequent RFID commands, such as TAGWRITE or TAGREAD. The<br />

memory structure of RFID depends on the tag type. Class 1 tags only<br />

allow the "@ID" segment, where EPC data is stored. The ISO18000-6B,<br />

or EPC UCode 1.19 tags contains two segments, "@ID" and "@DATA".<br />

Gen 2 RFID tags have four segments, "@RESERVED", "@EPC",<br />

"@TID", and "@USER". Chapter 6 contains tables with the memory<br />

structure of supported tag types.<br />

In order to support legacy programs written for Class 1 or ISO18000-6B<br />

tags when migrating to Generation 2 tags, Fingerprint will map the "@ID"<br />

and "@DATA" fields to "@EPC" and "@USER" fields respectively.<br />

The and parameters specify a subset of a segment as the<br />

3 4<br />

currently available field. It is possible to name the field to use with . 1<br />

This name may not start with an @-character. A possible representation<br />

of tag segments of a ISO18000-6B tag can be seen in the figure ni the<br />

example. The default values for and may be modified<br />

1 2<br />

by a subsequent TAGFORMAT command, see Chapter 6. Values for<br />

and do not normally need to be set when writing EPC<br />

3 4<br />

information, as these are automatically adjusted for the EPC tag format<br />

specified. The only exception is ISO 18000-6B tags, see Chapter 6, Tag<br />

Memory Allocation.<br />

The TAGFIELD command resets the TAGFORMAT to its default.<br />

Related commands are TAGFORMAT, TAGREAD and TAGWRITE.<br />
