How to Work with Processes > Working with the RFID Processes Group

Process Purpose

The "RFID Kill" process is used in a “single tag” operation (synchronous operation) to deactivate/disable the intended RFID tag permanently.

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 Kill" process MUST NOT be added to an "RFID" action.

The RFID profile to be applied to this process MUST include the "kill" password. This "kill" password MUST match the "access" password attributed to the RFID tag being targeted to ensure this process can successfully incapacitate the tag.

Ex: In this case, the "access" and "kill" password are both "12345678".

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 Kill" 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. If required, click to create a new profile or edit an existing one. See Creating an RFID Profile. The selected RFID profile MUST include the "kill" password (in the RFID profile's "Advanced" tab) which has to be the same as the "access" password attributed to the defined RFID tag.
Tag ID	Define the tag to be permanently deactivated. Either enter its ID OR click and select a variable with that value. See Variable Usage. Do NOT use the tag’s TID information to define the tag to be written within this process.
If Error
Go to	Select a target destination, in case an error occurs, from the drop-down or list. See Detail of a window below. When defining a screen as a target destination (ex: via a “Go to” process), you CANNOT use variables to specify the name of that target screen. You must select the intended screen from the available drop-down/list.

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.

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.

If you want to use a label as a target destination, you can use the "Auto-Label" mechanism. This alternative to the "Set Label" process allows you to create a label in the properties window of a process - specifically, in the fields used to define target destinations (ex: the "If Error..." type fields). See To Automatically Create a Label.

Use the right-click in MCL-Designer's input boxes to access some related options as well as the general "Cut", "Copy"; "Paste"; "Search" actions (active/inactive according to the current context).

Ex: If you right-click the "Variable" input box (included in a "Conversion's" properties window), you are provided with general editing/search actions and other more specific options such as "Variable Select" (see "Variable Select"); "Variable Insert" (see "Variable Insert"); "Insert Special Character" (see To Insert Special Characters into a Control's Text Input Field) and "Localization Select" (see Localization List).

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