Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus primarily for entertainment, which method or apparatus comprises an electronic control system, comprising at least one processor, which processor controls and stores at least some operational parameters during operation of the apparatus. The scope of the invention is to achieve access to data stored in an entertainment system or apparatus in periods of non-operation. This can be achieved if the apparatus comprises a RFID tag, which RFID tag can be communicating with the processor during operation, which RFID tag comprises at least one memory, which memory can contain copy of data segment representing at least one operational parameter for the apparatus, which RFID tag can be accessible from outside the apparatus in an operational or non-operational period, where an external device can read or write in the data segment in the memory in the RFID tag. It is hereby achieved that data could be transmitted in and out of the RFID tag during operation of an apparatus. Data transmitted out from the RFID tag could be information about addresses for normal communication with the apparatus using the DMX protocol as an example. These addresses could then be exchanged from the outside if the address for a specific apparatus has to be changed. After operation of an entertainment apparatus, for example when it is ready for transportation for a performance, an RFID scanner could be used to control failures or critical parameters in the apparatus so that apparatuses that show any critical parameters are sent for repair while operators showing normal activity will be transported for the next show.
