In this manual, the safety precautions are ranked as “WARNING” and “CAUTION.”
WARNING
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous
conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.
CAUTION
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous
conditions, resulting in medium or minor injury and/or property
damage.
Note that failure to observe the
CAUTION level instructions may lead to a serious consequence
according to the circumstances. Always follow the precautions of both levels because they are important
to personal safety.
Please keep this manual in an easy-to-access location for future reference, and be sure to deliver the
manual to the end user.
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
Provide a safety circuit outside the programmable controller to ensure that the overall system
operates safely in the event of an error in the external power supply or failure of the
programmable controller itself. Failure to do so results in the risk of erroneous output and
malfunction, resulting in module failure.
Configure the circuitry so that the external power supply is activated after the power supply of the
programmable controller itself. Activating the external power supply first results in the risk of
erroneous output and malfunction, resulting in module failure.
When installing the RFID interface module and amplifier/antenna cables, do not bundle the
cables with or install the cables close to the main circuit, power lines, or the like. Be sure to
separate the cables and lines by about 100mm or more. Failure to do so will cause noise,
resulting in malfunction.
A - 2 A - 2
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
When storing the product, be sure to observe the defined storage ambient temperature and
humidity. Failure to do so will lead to module malfunction and failure.
Look the control panel so that only those who are trained and have acquired enough knowledge
of electric facilities can open control panel.
Install the emergency stop switch outside the control panel so that workers can operate it easily.
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
Use the programmable controller in an environment that reflects the general specifications stated
in the user’s manual of the CPU module used. Using the programmable controller in an
environment out of the general specification range results in the risk of electric shock, fire,
malfunction, and product damage or deterioration.
During installation, fully insert the tabs used to secure the module into the holes of the base unit
while pressing down the module mounting lever located at the bottom of the module, using the unit
holes as support points. An incorrectly mounted module results in the risk of malfunction, failure,
and dropping. When used in an environment of high oscillation, secure the module with screws.
Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. If a screw is too loose, a dropped module,
short circuit, or malfunction may result. If a screw is too tight, screw and/or module damage may
occur, resulting in a dropped module, short circuit, or malfunction.
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before module
installation or removal.
Failure to do so results in the risk of product damage.
Do not directly touch a powered section or electronic component of the module. Doing so results
in the risk of module malfunction and failure.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
After the installation and wiring work, be sure to install the provided terminal cover on the product when
you want to activate and operate the module. Failure to do so results in the risk of electric shock.
Fully mount the antenna cable to the module connector. After mounting, check for separation.
Insufficient contact results in the risk of erroneous input and output.
Be sure to place the communication cables and power cables connected to the module in a duct,
or secure them with clamps. Failure to do so results in the risk of cable movement and drift,
module or cable damage caused by careless pulling, and malfunction caused by insufficient
cable contact.
A - 3 A - 3
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
When connecting a cable, first verify the connection interface type and then connect the cable
properly. Connecting a cable to a wrong interface or miswiring a cable results in the risk of
module and external device malfunction.
Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. If a screw is too loose, a short circuit or
malfunction may result. If a screw is too tight, screw and/or module damage may occur, resulting
in a short circuit or malfunction.
When removing a communication cable or power cable connected to the module, do not pull the
cable section. For cables with connectors, hold the connector of the section connected to the
module during removal. For terminal block cables, loosen the screws of the terminal block and
then remove the cable. Pulling a cable while it is connected to the module results in the risk of
malfunction and module and cable damage.
Be careful to prevent foreign matter such as dust or wiring chips from entering the module
interior. Failure to do so results in the risk of fire, failure, and malfunction.
A protective film is attached to the top of the module to prevent foreign matter, such as wire
chips, from entering the module during wiring.
Do not remove the film during wiring.
Remove it for heat dissipation before system operation.
Do not connect the power supply in reverse. Doing so results in risk of failure.
Use the module after confirming that the external input DC power supply is within the rated
power supply voltage.
Failure to do so results in the risk of failure and malfunction.
Do not bundle the control or communication cables with or install the cables close to the main
circuit, power lines, or the like. Be sure to separate the cables and lines by about 100mm or more.
[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
Do not disassemble or modify the module. Doing so results in the risk of failure, malfunction,
injury, and fire.
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before module
installation or removal. Failure to do so results in the risk of module failure and malfunction.
After product use begins, be sure the number of times the module, base, and terminal block are
installed and removed does not exceed 50 (JIS B 3502 compliant). Exceeding 50 results in the
risk of malfunction.
Do not touch the terminals while the module is powered. Doing so results in the risk of
malfunction.
A - 4 A - 4
[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used in the system before cleaning or
tightening terminal screws or module screws. Failure to do so results in the risk of module failure
and malfunction. If a screw is too loose, a dropped module, short circuit, or malfunction may
result. If a screw is too tight, screw and/or module damage may occur, resulting in a dropped
module, short circuit, or malfunction.
The module case is made of plastic. Do not drop the case or expose the case to strong impact.
Doing so results in the risk of module damage.
Before touching the module, be sure to touch grounded metal or the like to release the static
electricity from your body. Failure to do so results in the risk of module failure or malfunction.
When cleaning, do not use thinner, benzene, acetone, or kerosene. Doing so results in the risk of
module damage.
Do not insert water or wire through the gaps in the case. Doing so results in the risk of fire or
electric shock.
This product cannot be used as a detector for physical protection. Erroneous output or
malfunction may result in an accident.
When installing or removing the antenna from the amplifier, first turn OFF the module power
supply. Failure to do so results in the risk of module failure and malfunction.
Installation of multiple antennas may result in a decrease in communication performance due to
mutual interference. Refer to the description of mutual interference between antennas in the
antenna user’s manual.
In the unlikely event that you feel something is wrong with the product, stop using the product
immediately, turn OFF the power supply, and consult with your local Mitsubishi service center or

(4) The one-channel RFID interface module enables use of an amplifier built-in type
antenna.
(5) The module is provided with various test functions as standard.
The communication test function allows you to check whether or not
communication with an ID tag is possible without operating the sequence program.
The distance level measurement function measures the distance between the
antenna and ID tag with respect to the communication area, dividing the margin
into six stages.
The communication success rate measurement function executes
communication with a static ID tag 100 times, and measures the repeated
communication success rate.
The speed level measurement function measures the number of times
communication can be performed continuously according to the speed of an ID
tag that moves within the antenna communication area.
The noise level measurement function measures the noise level in the area
surrounding the antenna installation location.
(6) The module allows you to simply develop programs by downloading an FB (function
block) library that can be used with Mitsubishi Electric MELSOFT GX Works 2 from
the Mitsubishi Electric Corporation FA device information site MELFANSweb.

request (Y14, Y1C) turns ON simultaneously on channel 1 and channel 2. The read
of channel 2 is ignored when channel 1 is copy and channel 2 is read. A channel 2
copy command error occurs when channel 1 is read and channel 2 is copy.
The ID command error (bit 0) of the error details storage area (Un\G4041) turns
ON, and error detection (XD) turns ON.
(3) For the timing chart, refer to ID command complete (X4, XC).
Y15
TEST mode
execution request
(1) Executed when turned ON by the sequence program.
(2) Available for use only when both the “test mode enable” bit and “Y contact test
request enable” bit are set to “0” (enable) on switch 2 of the intelligent function
module switch.
Y16, Y1E Result reception
(1) Used as a timing signal for communication with the next ID tag when the
communication specification is repeat auto, FIFO repeat, multi-trigger, or
multi-repeat.
(2) The timing chart is as follows:
1) The result information is acquired and result reception (Y16, Y1E) is turned ON
when ID command complete (X4, XC) turns ON.
2) ID command complete (X4, XC) turns OFF when result reception (Y16, Y1E) is
turned ON.
3) Result reception (Y16, Y1E) is turned OFF when ID command complete (X4,
XC) turns OFF.

3.4 Buffer Memory
Buffer memory refers to an area that stores read/write data and control information for
exchanging data between ID tags and the programmable controller CPU.
The buffer memory can be accessed by the MOV command from the sequence program.
Note that the contents of buffer memory return to default values at power OFF and
programmable controller CPU reset.
