2.Working Principle of the zxl290 electronic shelf tags
The working principle of the zxl290 electronic shelf tags is realized by wireless communication technology. The following are the detailed steps of the working principle of the electronic label:
1.The read-write will send a stimulation signal to the surrounding electronic label, usually is the wireless radio frequency signal, in order to activate the electronic label, the read-write will send a stimulation signal to the surrounding electronic label, usually is the wireless radio frequency signal, in order to activate the electronic label.
2.When the electronic shelf tags is in the read-write communication range, it will receive the stimulation signal, and this as the energy source.
3.The electronic shelf tags has a memory inside for storing related information, such as the serial number of goods, date of production, etc.. This information can be read by the subsequent read-write.
4.Once the electronic shelf tags receives the excitation signal and stores the relevant data, it will send a response signal back to the read-write. This signal contains the tag’s stored data.
5.The reader receives the response signal from the electronic tag and then decodes the signal to obtain the data stored in the tag.
6.The reader-writer processes the decoded tag data, such as displaying it on a screen or matching it with other information in a database. Through this series of steps, the reader/writer can communicate with the activated the electronic shelf tags and access the data stored inside the tag. This allows electronic tags to have a wide range of applications in areas such as logistics, inventory management and retail.
