• Place subjected to direct sunlight

• Place subjected to high humidity and dew condensation

• Place where the main body of the device is subjected to direct vibration and impacts.

2. Prior checking on operating environment
This product uses the frequency band of 13.56MHz and make communications with the tag. The frequency
band of 13.56MHz is also used for the ISM band (One of frequencies assigned to medical equipment and

3

4

industrial heating devices: Generally an application for approval is required before installation). Consequently,
if such equipment is present nearby, communication with the tag may be affected and the tag may be damaged.
In case that this product is used near such equipment, check the effects of such equipment in advance.
Observe the following instructions so as to minimize the effects of general noises.

• Connect metallic bodies located around this product to Class D grounding (Class 3 grounding).

Chapter 1 Overview of Equipment

1-1 Features

1. Model 4S2VR-V720-KR11  allows communication with the tag Model 4S2VR-V720-D13P series (Omron)
which uses Philips' Model SL2ICS20 (known as "I-CODE II").

2. For use with a tag in conformity with ISO15693 standard made by other manufacturer, check on
communication range and others before use.

3. Since Model 4S2VR-V720-KR11  clearly displays responses, it allows checking on the operation of
interfaces with an operator. As a result, this reader is less prone to errors.

4. When Model 4S2VR-V720-KR11  is controlled by the host, up to 16 readers (4S2VR-V720-KR11 ) can be
connected.

1-2 Example of Use of Kanban Reader

Kanban reader Model 4S2VR-V720-KR11  is developed for interfacing between man and equipment for a
situation in which reading and writing operation is performed mainly with a device like a Kanban held in a hand.
Since a laminate tag significantly varies in communication distance, a close examination should be made when this
reader is used in fixed installation.

1. Example of recording information associated with manufacturing (Process equipment number, operator
information, time, etc.) in carrying out manufacturing based on Kanban in the manufacturing process.

Before machining

加工前

1. When parts to be machined arrive, an operator inserts the work instruction Kanban
accompanying the parts into the Kanban holder.

１．作業者は加工部品が到着すると、その中の作業指示かんばんをかんばんホルダーに差し込む。

2. The operator does machining of the part and puts the finished part into the machined part

２．作業者は部品に加工を施し、完成品を加工後のケースに入れる。

box.

３．かんばんに加工工程で発生した情報を書き込む。（シリアルＮｏ.、設備Ｎｏ．、所要時間、担当など。

3. Write information associated with the machining on the Kanban (Serial No., equipment

  追加で出来高などの情報を付加して入力することもできる。）

No., required time, person in charge, etc. Additional information such as completed

４．加工が全て完了したら、かんばんをかんばんホルダーから抜いて、加工後のケースにつけて

quantity may be included.)

  次工程へ送る。

4. When all the machining is complete, withdraw the Kanban from the Kanban holder, and
attach it on the case after machining and send it to the next process.

2. When an operator in charge of allocating parts on the assembly line of the plant tries to transfer the prior
process information unique to the part to the pick-up Kanban, the operator inserts the pick-up Kanban into the
holder. Then the pick-up Kanban shows the operator the presence of the part specified by the pick-up Kanban.
When the part Kanban is inserted into other holder, its information is transferred to the pick-up Kanban.

3. Use as a security card or open-close control of gate and door for controlling of entry and exit of people and

vehicles to a controlled area

In this case the card is used as an ID card not as a Kanban.
A Kanban reader is installed for each work section. A person has a Kanban

storing personal data and has the data read by the Kanban reader. A computer
in a ground-based station controls the presence and destination of persons.

as well as improvement in safet y.

4. Use as a tag for collecting information of work progress
When an ID tag is incorporated in a Kanban attached to key parts running on the production process,
information can be received and transferred for each process as needed.
At the start of the work, a part Kanban is taken out from the part box and inserted into the Kanban holder of the
Kanban reader. Whe the work is complete, the Kanban is pulled out from the Kanban holder and returned to
the part box as a part Kanban. Information is written in the Kanban tag on the time when the Kanban was
inserted into the Kanban holder and removed from the Kanban holder as well as the number of finished parts in
each process. By performing these operations in all processes, the Kanban collects work records and
man-hour records in all the processes.

5. Use as a barcode reader

• The barcode of a Kanban does not provide reliable reading performance due to smudges on a case.

• In case of a colored kanban, the contrast is low for a barcode reader, thereby resulting in unreliable reading.

• There are a number of problems in reading a barcode on the Kanban including difficulties in setting a

common standard for positioning of a barcode due to various sizes and shapes of a Kanban. A Kanban
incorporating a tag is free from these problems.

Communication function Trigger: Communications are made at the time that a command is issued.

Auto: When a command is issued anticipating the approach of the tag,

communication is executed waiting for the approach of a tag.

Continue: When a command is issued, communications with the tag are repeated

until a stop command is received.

Write-protect function: Write-protect setting on the tag can be made. However,

once this setting is made, it cannot be cancelled.

Caution!

As a general rule, reading and writing operation of Kanban information by the Kanban reader should be
performed for each Kanban.
When communication is executed with more than one Kanban present within the communication area, a
communication is made with one of the tags or no communication is made at all, causing a tag absence error
and resulting in incorrect information collection.

sensor as much as practical.

* Kanban reader Model 4S2VR is developed for interfacing between man and equipment assuming a situation in

which communications are made with a card-like tag held in a hand. Since the communication distance with a
