This Driver supports communication between Xpanel and the OMRON RFID Reader V680 Series.
This Driver is developed to support the V680 Command, Antenna 1 for 1:N Communication.
Communication Setup: Xpanel
Create a new Device
| To create a new device, select ‘Tools’ → ’I/O Devices’ or click the  I/O Device Name: Give a device name. This name will be used in the tag database, accompanied by the ‘Station Name’. |
Select a device type | After selecting the ‘OK’ button in the previous step, the ‘Serial Communication Configuration’ dialog box will appear as shown in the following picture:  Select ‘OMRON RFID Reader’ as the ‘Device Type’, and set the communication parameters as shown below. Note: these settings reflect when pin 9 of the RFID DIP switch SW3 is ON (1:N Communication), and the rest of the pins are OFF. If you change the RFID switch settings, you must change the settings in XpanelDesigner to match. Baud Rate: 9600 Parity: Even Data Bit: 7 Stop Bit: 2 Bits RTS/CTS: OFF Comm. Type: RS232 See the Communication Configuration section for more information about the remaining parameters. |
Create a station | Move to the ‘Station’ tab of the ‘Serial Communication Configuration’ dialog box. In this dialog box, connected PLC stations can be configured and registered to the Xpanel.  Each field can be configured with the following rules: Station Name: Designate a name for the station. This will be used in the tag database, accompanied by the ‘Device Name’. Station Type: Select ‘V680’ (this is the only available option). Network ID: N/A Station No: Enter the station number used by the communication module. The station number set within the RFID device configuration must match the number chosen here. See the Communication Configuration section for more information about the remaining parameters. |

Address Notation
Device | Unit | Description |
n:B0000 – n:B1999 | Byte | Tag Data area. Both Read and Write are allowed. |
n:W0000 – n:W1999 | Byte | Area to modify the RFID Tag value. Only Write is allowed. |
n:S0000 | Word | To display communication status. This area must be registered as INT16 or UINT16. |
Antenna designation is possible when “n:” is designated. Without designating “n:”, Attenna1 is designated (n is 1 or 2).
Ex) “2:B0000“ is byte B0000 of antenna 2. “1:W1000“ is word 1000 of antenna 1.
When the value of S0000 is 0, the status is normal. Otherwise, S0000 gives the error status. Refer to the error table below
Note: If the value is 255(FFh), this means Read Time Out (not listed below)
