Working with Erase Process

Process Purpose

 

The RFID Erase process is used in a “single tag” operation (synchronous operation) to erase certain information (fields of a memory bank, a password) included in a particular RFID tag. It is NOT possible to erase a full memory bank, only the fields included in it. This process may not be available for all RFID tag types.

 

 

Make sure you have already created the required RFID profile(s). See Creating an RFID Profile.

Check the necessary steps to create an RFID program in To Create an RFID Program.

 

The RFID Erase process MUST NOT be associated to an On RFID Tag Read event.

 

 

 

When you add a process, you are required to define its settings. This occurs in the process's properties window which is displayed automatically after having added the RFID Erase process.

If any subsequent edition is required, double-click the process to open its properties window and enter the necessary modifications.

 

 

Fill in the following options:

 

RFID Settings

Profile

Select the appropriate RFID profile from the drop-down list. If required, click to create a new profile or edit an existing one. See Creating an RFID Profile.

Tag ID

Define the tag to be read. Either enter the tag's ID or click and select a variable with that value. See Variable Definition.

Fields to Erase

Field column

Define the field(s) to be deleted. Select the appropriate field(s) from the drop-down list.

Select a target destination, in case an error occurs, from the drop-down or list. See Detail of a window below.

 

Detail of a window:

 

 

"S:Menu" is a screen included in the same program as the process.

"R:Routine_1" is a routine included in the same program as the process.

 

Use the editing icons to the right of the table to move the rows up and down and to delete or add more rows.

 

If required, click to attach any relevant notes to this process. Click it and enter your notes in the resulting text box. These notes will be displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window (in the "Notes" field) and in the "Developer Report".

 

After filling in the required options, click to conclude or to abort the operation.

 

The added process is displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window.

 

 

 

Use the right click in MCL-Designer's input boxes to access certain features regarding the input box's option as well as general actions such as "Copy"; "Paste"; "Search".

Ex: If you right-click the "Variable" input box (included in a "Conversion's" properties window), you are provided with the "Search..."and "Variable Select" options.

If you right-click another input box, it will provide other possibilities.
