Hi,
I'm using SAP Mobile 7.1 and will be using RFID feature.
I've to buy the RFID Reader that can be used with SAP Mobile 7.1.
Please share the RFID device that you're using.
Many Thks,

Hello,
make sure that the interface which is provided by the Psion can be embedded in the ITS Mobile Pages.
Two years ago we have had massive problems with that and Psion did not deliver a stable interface.
Because of this we mainly do work with a Motorolla MC9090 Device.
If you have success with integrating Psion into ITS Mobile please let me know.
Best regards
Michael

I installed iousb family log release osx 10.5.6 and installed on my mac osx 10.5.8. I am trying to log and rfid reader on the usb. Sadly on restart the usb is no longer working. Happily Windows is still running OK. Is there a way 2 get my usb back?

I installed IOUSB family log release osx 10.5.6 on my mac osx 10.5.8. I am trying to log an rfid reader on the usb. Sadly on restart the usb is no longer working. Happily Windows is still running OK. Is there a way to get my usb back working? And is there a way to navigate in Windows to the file I installed and remove it? Any help appreciated.

Yes, it does. Right to where I am supposed to log in, but since the USB is not working (either mouse or keyboard), I'm stuck. I have to shut down and restart and boot into windows.

Using Labview with an ALR-9800 RFID reader

I am a student at Cal Poly, SLO and I am currently working on a Labview program to characterize RFID tags using a positioner and an Alien Technology ALR-9800 RFID reader. This is my first time programming with Labview and also my first time interfacing with the ALR-9800 so I am more or less stumbling around in the dark. I have been unable to find any drivers for the reader or any example code interfacing with a reader. From my understanding of both Labview and the ALR-9800, it seems to me like the best approach is to find a way to issue textual commands to the reader to take advantage of the text-based command interface via TCP/IP. The reader is supposed to function like a telnet server, so I can issue commands through a telnet interface to communicate. Is there a way to create such an interface in Labview? I would like to be able to send string constants as commands at various stages of the program in order to control the reader. If anyone could offer me any help at all, I would be incredibly greatful.

RFID Reader,optional with programmable logic controllers to streamline RFID

RFID is used to automate the process of capturing batch production information for lot tracking. This eliminates the manual scanning typically required with a bar code solution through the use of container and location-based RFID tags interacting with readers on material-handling equipment.
RFID Reader(interrogator) is a vital RFID system component. A transmitter/receiver that reads the contents of RFID tags in the vicinity. Also called an "RFID interrogator." The maximum distance between the reader's antenna and the tag vary, depending on application.
In addition, readers can be fitted with an additional interface that converts the radio waves returned from the RFID tag into a form that can then be passed on to another system, like a computer or any programmable logic controller.
Generally speaking, RFID readers can be divided into two kinds by data collection features. One what is called smart RFID reader with advanced data collection features u2014 such as filtering of redundant tag data, is capable of controlling peripheral devices based on data read from the tag. Another what is called simple RFID reader with a lower price, is need to attach to a separate local server or a programmable logic controller for local decision making.

Problem is I wasn't compiling libnfc with my code. I've been able to use Visual Studio to compile a C file that uses libnfc (and libusb), but when I adapt the code to work with JNI, changing the main to:
JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL Java_libnfc_Main_nativeTagID(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj) (for example)
I'm getting an error related to the libNFCNative.h. This file is supposed to aid in the creation of the dll file that the Java then uses to call functions from C.
The .h file has:
/* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated */
#include <jni.h>
/* Header for class libnfc_Main */

RFID Reader, the vital component of RFID system

RFID is used to automate the process of capturing batch production information for lot tracking. This eliminates the manual scanning typically required with a bar code solution through the use of container and location-based RFID tags interacting with readers on material-handling equipment.
RFID Reader(interrogator) is a vital RFID system component. A transmitter/receiver that reads the contents of RFID tags in the vicinity. Also called an "RFID interrogator." The maximum distance between the reader's antenna and the tag vary, depending on application.
An RFID reader typically contains a module (transmitter and receiver), a control unit and a coupling element (antenna).RFID Reader transmits and receives radio waves. Reader not only interrogates tags for information, but it can also be used to program (write) information to tags. The RFID reader uses an antenna to send and receive signals to and from RFID tags. The antenna can be either an internal or an external addition.
In addition, readers can be fitted with an additional interface that converts the radio waves returned from the RFID tag into a form that can then be passed on to another system, like a computer or any programmable logic controller.

Hi DCU,
I hope you are doing well today! From the sound of this application, you might want to start by looking at our Signal Generators. The arbitrary and RF waveform generators would be suitable and you might also need a RF up convertor. All of this definitely depends on your application. I am sure all of the software and hardware involved in this application will be expensive and would recommend you to setup an appointment with a Field Engineer so he/she can visit you and help you make the right choice on the products you would need from NI. If you are in the U.K., you should call +44 1635 572410 and ask them for the contact information of your Field Engineer. Good luck with your application; this definitely sounds like an interesting project to work on.

How to create a VI to communicate with a RFID reader module (#28140)?

Hi,
I am a student tasked to do a labview project and my project involves the use of a RFID reader module (#28140) to create a interface for real-time hospital staff management i.e. monitor their duties, track their movements.
We are still new to labview and is attempting for the first time to try and build a VI to work with an RFID reader module. However, my group and I have been trying for a week to try and figure out how to configure a Labview VI to do such a task.. My group and I identified the baud rate of the RFID reader module. However, when we tried to use myDAQ to connect the RFID reader to the VI in the computer, we always encounter the error of not been able to use continuous sample mode.
Would appreaciate any help or advice or experiences to guide my group and I in this project task.

lukko wrote:
Thank you for the reply. My first guess was that in case of arrays everything inside the VI should be closed in a loop and perhaps with varying number of inputs the loop could be avoided and this would improve simultaneous execution for multi-core CPUs.
I would not base all conclusions on first guesses.
Working with arrays is typically significantly more efficient (e.g. SIMD). We also have the parallel FOR loop where several iterations can be executed in parallel, thus fully supporting simultaneous execution.
How exactly are you expecting the code to look like if you have a variable number of connectors?

Hi Junaid,
In one of my AII presentations I found:
Tested readers:
Intermec, Alien, Matrics, Philipps, AWID, Tyco Sensematic
maybe you can call those companies and just ask or e-mail them?
also this may help you:
Simple SAP Device Controller with limited functionality is provided. It supports readers:
- Alien ALR-9780 (4-port reader)
- Intermec IntelliTag 500 API
- Philips SDK reader
But I'm not sure how occurate this presentation is because I got it in 2004 (december as far as I remember)
BTW
If they answer please post their suggestions here if you may:)

RFID Tag reading thru Sensormatic RFID reader

All,
Did any body tested the Sensormatic RFID reader with AII ? How to test the HTTP connection between the reader and AII ? We have configured the HTTP RFC destination in SAP AII. But when we read the TAG from the reader, we are not able trace any response from the reader. How to configure the reader ? How will the Reader understand and send the info to AII. Anybody configured the Sensormatic RFID reader for the outband slap & ship scenario. Thanks.

Drivers for RFID Reader

Hi Experts,
I have a problem while using a RFID reader, its a PSION Psiuntek 7535 Model. Actually i need the drivers to communicate between MI and RFID reader. Please tell me which drivers i need and from where can i get them. While going through the forums i came to know that i may require
" PIRFPSIWP_WM50_XSL_CRM 1.27 " driver.
I am using SP20.
please suggest a solution.
Thanks and regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Please refer to note 1057759 for the delivered Drivers for Peripherals in SAP DOE. This lists all the supported barcode scanners for SAP Netweaver Mobile. Those derivers are certified after testing to work only with that device and OS configuration.

Is there any RFID reader with two antennas?

Hello!
I'm searching for RFID reader with two antennas and capability of choosing which antenna to use via PC/SC interface.
Could you help me?
Thank you in advance.

Sonnyyu,
Thank you for your answer.
According to USB specification, I can connect up to 127 usb devices to a single USB controller. Hence USB hubs are addressable devices they will reduce the number of total target devices (RFID readers) I want to connect.
There are two more constraints:
1) Bandwidth of USB port
2) Power consumption of devices connected to USB hub
1) Usually single RFID reader utilizes 5-10% of a total bandwidth. So the maximum number of RFID readers working concurrently (!) is 20-10. In my application there will be 7-8 concurrently working readers maximum.
2) Power consumption is not an issue if you use powered(!) USB hubs. When you use powered USB hubs all the power is not going from USB controller, but from an external source (each powered USB hub has its own power supplier).
Also all the RFID readers that I connect are located in a range of 2-3 meters from a PC, so I have no problem with possible interferences.
Why should I use TCP/IP in this case?
Thank you again.

Simulation of RFID Reader (SM59)

Hi,
the configuration guide says the following:
To enable the simulation of an RFID device controller for testing, you can define the
following HTTP RFC connection in addition:
Field Name Field Value
RFC Destination AIN_DC_ECHO_TEST
Type G (HTTP Connection to Ext. Server)
Target Host <Server of your SAP AII system>
Service No. <Port of your SAP AII system>
Prefix /sap/scm/ain_echo_test
I did it exactly this way, but get the error message when I try to test the connection:
ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED
Did I forget to configure sth.?

I want to get a msg in my AII from the reader.
I configured the following two connections; #
Type G
AIN_ECHO_TEST with prefix /sap/scm/ain_echo_test
If I selected "no login" or "with login" and enter the data, it does not change a thing.
Do I have to enter sth in these proxy, host settings?
Type H
AIN with prefix /sap/scm/ain
Same error as above.
As the destination machine I have in both cases the system I am connected to.
What do I have to configure? Can you give me all the field values you entered? Did I forget sth.?
If I do connection test I still get my error ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED.

RFID Reader Programming

Hi all,
I bought TI low frequency evaluation kit which comes with S200 micro reader and bunch of transponders. The demo software provided by the TI works fine.
I am using Comm API to read the tag. Now my problem is:
1. when I run my code, it does not read the tag.
2. When I first start the evaluation demo software, close it, and run my code, my program can read the tag data.
3. The demo software has Line mode (which continuously sends the data to the PC), Single Mode (Which reads the tag just once), and Normal Mode(which reads tag when its moved within the field of the reader). When I run this demo, set the mode, and close it, and then run my program, the behaviour of my code is according to the last set mode in the demo software.
All these situations are not desirable.
Now the thing is, some signal has to be sent to the reader unit to so that it would charge the tag. I am not able to figure out how...
If needed I will post the code, which is almost same as the SimpleRead.java available at sun's site.
I sincerely request you to help me out .
Thanks a lot

How mobile device ( rfid/barcode reader) communicates with SAP transaction.

Dear Friends !
Good morning, How are you ?
I want to understand that in ITSmobile How Mobile device ( RFID Reader ot Barcode scanner/reader) to fetch the data and supply the ITS screen.
I believe every mobile device has some .dll file or something in that we have some methods if we call it say in .net or java application we can read the rfid or barcode and from the returning paramter of the .dll method we can get information what we want ( if i m not wrong).
now the question is if I have some barcode /rfid number which is assigned to sap material number. if on mobile device I run mm02 transaction code n trigger the gun can I get the material number in material number field . ( assume I have program which can fetch the material number from barcode/rfid number.) ? but to pass rfid number / barcode what should I do. I can write javascript and call that method but dont know weather I can use javascript or not in that.
to be simple:
How can I get barcode / rfid number to my sap transaction. if possible
please give me any suggestion. document link... help.... whatever may help me to understand this. I will greatly appreciate your reply
Thanking you
Regards
Naeem
