Safety Information

2.2 Intended use

The RFH620 RFID device is an intelligent sensor for the automatic recognition and decoding of 13.56 MHz, ISO 15693 compliant RFID transponder signals e.g. placed on objects in a conveyor system.

The RFID device enable the bi-directional communication with a host for, e.g., further processing.

The intended use of the RFID device results from the following description of the function:

¾ In a reading station/situation the RFH620 could be installed in a holder, either on

the side of a conveyor system (side reading) or under it (reading from below)

¾ In a writing station/situation the RFH620 gets the date to be written from the host

system

¾ The LED’s in the front antenna panel could be switch by either the system

depending on the reading result or by the host via command language.

¾ The RFID device transfers the reading data via the host interface to a superordinate

host computer for further processing.

¾ The RFH620 could be configured/operated using the SOPAS-ET configuration

software that runs on a standard client PC provided by the customer or via command language. Communication takes place using RS-232 or Ethernet.

Any warranty claims against SICK AG shall be deemed invalid in the case changes to the RFH620, such as opening the housing, this includes modifications during installation and electrical installation or changes to the SICK software.

3.5 RFH620 method of operation

The RFH620 is an intelligent sensor system for automatic and non-contact detection and decoding of SISO/IEC15693 compliant transponders. In principle, the transponders can be detected on any side of still or moving objects in a conveyor system. Several RFID devices can be combined to allow detection of several sides in one passage (multi-side reading).

The RFH620 creates a high frequency field to recognise transponders. The transponder itself generate out of the field the power for operation and the data send from the RFID device and respond data to the interrogator using field load modulation. The size of the reading field depends mainly on the used transponder (size and Q-factor) and the environment (metal objects).

Figure 3-6: HF Technology – principle overview

To control a process, external sensors could deliver information via the reading pulse, the object distance and the conveyor speed (increment). The reading/writing results are output to the RFH620 data interfaces and forwarded to a host/PC.
