• RFID system RF-500 Series

• Barcode reader BL Series
• 2D code reader SR-500 Series
• Network controller NX-50 Series
• RS-485 master unit N-410
■ Terminal function
This function allows you to send commands so that you can simply check operation of connected
devices. Also, responses to commands can also be collected and saved as a log.
■ Test function
This function allows you to test the operation status or communications status of the connected
devices.
Various test modes are available according to the connecting device.
For details about the test mode, refer to the User’s Manual.
■ Print function, file output function

This function allows you to print the settings of each device configured with AutoID Navigator, or
output the history data collected with the terminal function or test function in the CSV format.

A "project file" is a file that integrates and manages all of the devices required for production pro-
cesses.
Devices to be connected to production processes can be managed efficiently by individual field
network or master units.

What Is a "Project"?
MANAGING PROJECTS
On AutoID Navigator, the parameters of devices to be connected and memory map- or macro-
related setups are managed as "projects."
Projects are managed in individual folder, and each folder is called a "project folder." On AutoID
Navigator, the following files are created in project folders.
File names can be entered by the user.
File File Type Description

3-3 Registering Devices and Saving Projects
When AutoID Navigator is started up, a new project is already created for use.
Determine the devices to register and how to register the devices suited to your particular require-
ments.
3
Signal Registration and Network Registration
MANAGING PROJECTS
There are two ways of registering devices on AutoID Navigator, "single registration" and "network
registration." With single registration, devices are not assigned an ID and are registered as inde-
pendently operating devices. With network registration, devices are assigned an ID and are regis-
tered as devices that operate on a network.
Select the registration method to suit your particular requirements.
■ Single registration
When registering devices by single registration, register the
device with a project selected.
■ Network registration
When registering devices by network registration, first regis-
ter the master unit, and then connected subordinate devices.
Note
IC tags are registered by single registration as they are not linked to the network.
When registering IC tags, select the IC tag to register from the list that is dis-
played when a project is selected and then register the device.
3-4

● Example: Registering devices

With network registration, register controllers or heads as slave devices hierarchically to a master
device.
Multiple slave devices can be connected to a master.

Registering Devices by Single Registration

1 Click the device to register with a project selected, and click the "Regist" button, or double-
click on the selected device.
To continue registering devices by single registration, make sure that the project is still selected,
then register devices.
3-5

Registering Devices by Network Registration

When registering devices by network registration, follow the procedure below to register devices
to the project.
3 1 Select the master unit, and click the "Regist" button.

This registers the master unit.
MANAGING PROJECTS
Note
• Parameters cannot be set to master units to be used on CC-Link or DeviceNet
from AutoID Navigator. Set parameters referring to the manual for the master
unit to be used.
• When building an RS-485 network system, select N-410 as the master unit.
2 Click the registered master unit, select the controllers to be added to the project as slaves,
and click the "Regist" button.
Note
Select the type of controller to match the network you are building. Select an NX-
50CL or NX-50DN as the controller if the master unit is registered.
3-6

3 The [ID registration] dialog box is displayed. Enter the ID and click the "OK" button.
MANAGING PROJECTS
Note
• AutoID Navigator automatically enters a serial number as the ID to prevent IDs
from being duplicated. When manually changing IDs, take care to prevent the
ID from duplicating another ID.
• When registering the NX-50CL, set the number of occupied stations and cyclic
setting. The NX-50CL occupies two to four stations depending on its settings.
Click to select the number of

stations from the list.
• The ID set here can also be changed later on.

"Renaming devices and changing IDs" (page 3-8)
4 Click the registered controller, select the head or barcode reader to be added to the project
as slaves, and click the "Regist" button.
When connecting multiple controllers (slave devices) to a master device, click the slave device to
add to the master device, select the controller and click the "Regist" button.
The following controllers can be connected to the master:
• N-410
NX-50RS
• Master unit
NX-50CL or NX-50DN
Note
• Only one type of controller can be registered to a single master unit. An NX-
50DN cannot be registered to a master unit to which an NX-50CL is registered.
• When the exclusive communication unit (N-48) is used, the head is connected
directly under the N-410.

4-1 Setting IC Tags
Setting the Memory Map
AutoID Navigator allows you to partition IC tag memory area by individual application in advance
and append each area with a label (name) for management.
Each of the areas to which information is stored can be given a label (name) which can be made
use of when performing verification during design and when creating Specification Sheets.
The MEMO function allows you to color-code the display of changed addresses or write-protected
4 addresses so that you can intuitively grasp the memory map.
Edited memory map files can also be output as CSV format files.
SETTING DEVICE OPERATIONS
Note
Memory maps that have been edited on AutoID Navigator cannot be written to IC
tags.
Use memory map information as materials for grasping the design and specifi-
cations of memory maps.
