The communication between the ReaderStart v3 and the reader is based on the DLL (Dynamic Link Library),
which includes the communication protocol, see document “API Communication Protocol Description V3.x
for SRU-8X1X RFID Reader 18000-63”. For specific applications, the user can build its own control software
based on the reader DLL. The DLL includes all the relevant commands and functions required to control the
reader.
It is necessary for the user to create his own control software. The user-specific control software can run
directly on the reader. Therefore, a stand-alone operation without permanent network connection is possible.
To be able to use the complete range of the reader performance in customer applications,
we recommend using the reader SRU-8110. It is not possible to run any customer
applications on the basic SRU-8211 reader.
Further Reference Material
In order to configure the reader correctly and adapt it to the respective application, it is necessary to have
detailed knowledge of the EPC
TM
standards of GS1. This standard describes the principle of operation of the
interface between the tag and the reader.
The parameters available for the configuration of the reader are described in the Configuration Manual for
SRU-8X1X RFID Reader 18000-63. The reader is controlled via a specific reader protocol, the current
version of the protocol is described in detail in the API Communication Protocol Description V3.x for SRU-
8X1X RFID Reader 18000-63.
