The RMS Enterprise SDK (v4)

RMS Enterprise - NetLinx Programmer’s Guide

RMS RFID Adapter Module & RMS RFID Monitor (Anterus)

RMS supports RFID asset tracking with the use of an AMX Anterus RFID system. The RMS SDK includes a “RmsRfid.axi”

Include File that contains all the necessary RFID module declarations and a place to add the RFID read device DPS entries.

The diagram in FIG. 9 illustrates the file dependency chain for RMS & RFID integration:

RmsRfid.axi Include file

The following code illustrates the inclusion of the RmsRfid.axi file in the main NetLinx program:

DEFINE_START

// RMS RFID Support

#WARN 'Uncomment this line to include RFID support with RMS'

#INCLUDE 'RmsRfid'

The Anterus RFID reader devices and Anterus Module should be configured in the RmsRfid.axi file.

To have the Anterus RFID reader show up as a monitored asset in the RMS system, you must include a separate instance of the

RMS RFID Reader Monitor module for each physical Anterus RFID reader:

DEFINE_DEVICE

vdvRMSRfid = 41003:1:0 // RMS RFID System Adapter (Duet Module)

vdvAnterusGateway = 41004:1:0 // Duet RFID Virtual Device (Duet Module)

dvAnterusReader1 = 99:1:0 // AxLink Anterus RFID Reader #1

DEFINE_START

// RMS RFID - RFID System Monitor

// This module is responsible for monitoring RFID

// readers and tags for an AMX Anterus RFID system.

// This module will relay RFID information to the

// RMS system.

// (Note: RMS server must be enabled for RFID support.)
