3.3 Read and write techniques

RFID devices with working frequency of 13.56MHz (HF) form a spherical, homogeneous electromagnetic field around the antenna. The operating range varies depending on the device type. The transponder that is used (antenna geometry) also has a significant influence. For exact data, please refer to the specifications of the read/write systems (see also "Typical reading behavior" from page 11).
The front of the device (black) or the active side (equipped with LEDs, depends on model) must not be enclosed by metal. A metal surface in the read field will likewise reduce the operating range.
Notice!
The antenna surfaces of transponder and read/write system should be as parallel with one another as possible at the read/write position.

Device description RFM - HF RFID Series
Figure 3.8: Reading from below (skid)
The detection field can only be attenuated, and the function thus impaired, by metal surfaces and/or fluids on the transponder or RFM housing.
For this reason, we recommend the use of a nonmetal spacer between transponder and base (e.g., spacer 50 HT which fits the disc transponders with a diameter of 50mm), whereby a spacer height of 10mm is sufficient for a range of approx. 50mm.
For the read/write system, it is recommended that a space in front of and along the sides equal to the "device dimensions + half the operating range" be kept completely free of metal in order optimize performance (reading speed and operating range).
If, due to structural reasons, a metal surface is to enclose most of the device, a slit should be sawed into one side of the surface in order to interrupt the metal short circuit for the detection field.
Acceptable function and operating range can be achieved in this way even in metal.

3.5 Networking - Leuze multiNet plus

Up to 30 RFM read/write systems can be networked via one MA 31 network master. For this purpose, an MA 21 100.2 with unique station address is connected to each RFM read/ write system. Networking is via a parallel connection of the individual RS 485 interfaces of the respective MA 21 100.2 units.

Leuze multiNet plus

In Leuze's proprietary multiNet plus network, the individual network devices transmit their data upon request through the MA 31 network master in sequence. In addition, each network device (MA 21 100.2) declared as a slave receives a device address which is set with the aid of the rotary switch on the MA 21 100.2.
The master then transmits the data of all network devices to a primary PLC or a computer via its host interface, i.e., it "collects" the data in the network and transmits it via an interface to the host computer. This reduces interface costs (CPs) and time spent programming the software.
