4.4.13.1 RFID Validation Process
During the validation process, the SECS/GEM sends Fluid and Valve Tag ID information to FmXP.
FmXP checks the fluid and valve tags. If both tags match the tag ID information from the host, the tag
check will end with an FmXP prompted validation acknowledgement. See Figure 4-96. If the tag
information is not available (or reads null) the check will end without validation. If there is a mismatch
between the Host ID , the host will be notified and the production run will be stopped.

4.4.13.2 Validations
There are three conditions that trigger SECS/GEM to initiate validations:
 Door open validation
- In order to prevent the wrong valve or fluid from being present on the dispenser, a time
limit can be set for the dispenser door to be open.
- This parameter is generally set to a short amount of time to ensure that if the door is open
for longer period of time a check is performed to validate the use of the valve or fluid.
 BFS validation
- When The SECS/GEM ID is not null and the RFID device tag compares favorably to
the ID, FmXP continues with production.
 User Activation
- The user can select the
Read RFID Tags item from the setup menu list in the
programming window to initiate a validation (Figure 4-97).
