Installation

3. Connect the L-L100 Reader to the AC supply.

4. Start the L200 Explorer software application.

You can now configure the RPU of your L-L100 Reader as desired and start using most L-L100

Reader functions.

Test/Setup Mode is only available when using L200 Explorer Software. In this mode, certain

Data Processing Unit functions cannot be accessed.

7.4.2 Main Operating Mode

In Main Operating mode, the Data Processing Unit (DPU) is the RPU Host. The DPU can access

the DSP memory via the HPI interface.

When the L-L100 Reader Main Operating Mode is used, the DPU is the interface between the RPU

and the environment. In that case, the DPU can exchange data with a host system through the

embedded serial port interface.

When the Main operating mode is used, the host system is not connected to the RPU. In

other words, when the host system requires a command which must be executed by the RPU,

the GemCore OS receives this request and sends the corresponding command to the RPU.

The Main Operating mode is also designed for using the L-L100 Reader as a standalone device,

without a host.

Once the RFID system has been completely defined and it is ready for an industrial application, the

L-L100 Reader can be interfaced to specific network systems and various communication

protocols. This interface is implemented using custom DPU Application Software.

The command set and communication protocol between the DPU and the RPU are

completely defined by the DSP Firmware. It therefore cannot be customized.

On the other hand, the command set and the communication protocol between the DPU and

the L-L100 Reader Host are defined by the DPU application software. Developing new DPU

application software makes it possible to interface the L-L100 Reader with new environments

and to communicate using new protocols.
