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.

Figure 3-7: Methods of operation in a conveyor system

Page 18

Operating Instructions Chapter 10

RFI341

Appendix

3.5.1 Reading / Writing configuration

The RFH60 is compliant with the ISO 15693 Standard. Via SOPAS tool standard specific setting could be set. In addition parameters could be set that e.g could be used to define reading window conditions as well as conditions for the actions to be taken within.

3.5.2 Object trigger control

In order to start an object-related reading process, the RFH620 requires an appropriate external signal (trigger source) for reporting an object in the reading area. The start signal is emitted via an external reading pulse sensor (e. g. photoelectric reflex switch) as standard. As soon as an object has passed the reading pulse sensor, a time window opens in the RFH620 (“reading/writing gate“) for the reading/writing process.

Alternatively, a command activates the reading process via a data interface or the CANSENSOR network. In Automatic mode, the RFID device generates the reading gate internally with an adjustable mark-space ratio.

The reading pulse can be ended in a number of ways: With external triggering by the reading pulse source or a command, internally by a timer or an evaluation condition to be met.

The trigger source could be configured using the SOPAS-ET configuration software: PROJECT TREE, RFH620, PARAMETER, READING CONFIGURATION, OBJECT TRIGGER CONTROL, register tab START/STOP OF OBJECT TRIGGER

3.5.3 Increment configuration

The RFID device receives information about the conveyor speed from an external incremental encoder, for example. The incremental encoder delivers pulses which are used to determine the current conveyor speed. The conveyor speed results from the number of impulses and the resolution of the external incremental encoder.

The increment source and the resolution/speed can be configured using the SOPAS-ET configuration software: PROJECT TREE, RFH620, PARAMETER, INCREMENT CONFIGURATION, register tab INCREMENT

3.5.4 ISO/IEC 15693 configuration

The RFH620 is compliant with the ISO 15693 Standard. All mandatory and optional command set as defined in the standard are supported. All transponders that comply full with the standard could be used in a customer application. A actual list of supported transponder IC’s could be requested via SICK sales channel.

3.5.5 Reading operation mode (object related)

There is only one object in the reading field during start/stop operation, i.e. all the read data should be unambiguously assigned to the object. The start and stop of the reading process control one/two reading pulse sensors at the beginning and at the end of the reading field as standard. The distance between each sensor is determined by the size of the reading field. The reading process can be alternatively controlled with command strings via the data interface. The output of the reading results is carried out either at the end of the reading pulse (the rear edge of the object has left the end of the reading field) or during the reading pulse if certain configurable conditions have been fulfilled.

The reading operation mode can be configured using the SOPAS-ET configuration software: PROJECT TREE, RFH620, PARAMETER, DATA PROCESSING, register tab TRACKING

3.5.6 Data Processing

The output time in the reading process with regard to the reading pulse start can be configured using the SOPAS-ET configuration software: PROJECT TREE, RFH620, PARAMETER, DATA PROCESSING, OUTPUT CONTROL

Furthermore, the evaluation conditions and filters and sorters for data output to the host computer can be configured: PROJECT TREE, RFH620, PARAMETER, DATA PROCESSING, EVALUATION CONDITION

3.5.7 Output format

The reading result (decoded codes) is displayed via selectable physical interfaces. Two different output formats (telegrams) can be defined for this task, one format for "No Read" and one for the heartbeat (signalisation of readiness).

Note The output formats can be configured using the SOPAS-ET configuration software: PROJECT TREE, RFH620, PARAMETER, DATA PROCESSING, OUTPUT FORMAT

3.5.8 Network / Interface / IOs

All important interfaces for displaying the reading results are available on the RFH620. Several RFID devices can be connected to each other via the CAN bus in the SICKspecific CAN-SENSOR network.

The network parameters can be configured using the SOPAS-ET configuration software: PROJECT TREE, RFH620, PARAMETER, NETWORK / INTERFACE / IOS, tab pages NETWORK OPTIONS

reading (chapter “Status protocol”).

8.3 Status protocol

The status protocol remains even after switching the RFH620 off and on again. The RFH620 differentiates between four error types:

¾ Information

¾ Warning

¾ Error

¾ Fatal error

The RFH620 only saves the last five entries for each of the error types.

8.3.1 Displaying the status protocol using the SOPAS-ET configuration software

In order to display the status protocol, the SOPAS-ET configuration software has to be online and connected to the bar code scanner.

1. Connect the SOPAS-ET configuration software with the device.

2. Open the project tree RFH620, SERVICE, SYSTEMSTATUS, register tab SYSTEMINFORMATION.

8.4 SICK Support

If an error cannot be eliminated, it is possible that the RFH620 is defective. The RFH620 cannot be repaired by the user, meaning that it is not possible to re-establish functions after a failure. However, the bar code scanner can be rapidly replaced by the user. See chapter “Replacing the RFH620).

¾ If an error occurs which cannot be eliminated, please contact SICK Service:

International: Competent SICK branch office or SICK subsidiary

Telephone numbers and e-mail addresses on the reverse side of these operating instructions. For the postal address please visit www.sick.com

¾ Only return devices after consultation with the SICK Service.

Repairs to the RFH620 should only be performed by qualified and authorised SICK AG service staff.

The appendix contains the following additional information:

¾ Configuring the RFH620 System with command strings

¾ Ordering information

¾ Glossary

¾ Copy of EC Declaration of Conformity

11.2 Configuration the RFH620 with command strings

As an alternative to the SOPAS-ET configuration software, the RFH620 can also be configured and operated with command strings via all the data interfaces. The command strings can be displayed separately via the SOPAS-ET configuration software.

Both the command strings and the SOPAS-ET configuration software are based on command language which directly accesses the command interpreter of the bar code scanner. This command language must be used with care as the RFH620 executes sent commands immediately. Parameter values altered via commands are at first only active in the current parameter set in the working memory (RAM) of the bar code scanner. To save in the permanent memory, the altered parameter set must be copied into the PROM using a special command, this ensures that the alterations are not lost when the power supply is switched off.

Command strings for triggering the reading pulse:

- START: <STX>sMN mTCgateon<ETX>

- STOP: <STX>sMN mTCgateoff<ETX>

If the commands are entered via the terminal emulator in the SOPAS-ET configuration software, the two control characters <STX> and <ETX> are omitted. Connection to the RFH620 when using the terminal emulator and Ethernet:

1. Select TOOLS/TERMINAL in the SOPAS-ET configuration software menu to call up the terminal emulator and in the terminal emulator, select CONNECTION/ CONNECT to call up the connection assistant.

2. Select option USER DEFINED CONNECTION in the connection assistant and confirm by pressing NEXT.

3. Select option TCP/IP and confirm by pressing NEXT.

4. Select option SHOW ONLY COLA TELEGRAMS.

5. Enter the RFH620's IP address in the relevant field and confirm by pressing NEXT.

6. In the ADDRESSING MODE selection list, select BY NAME and confirm the settings by pressing CONNECT. The connection with the RFH620 is established. The command strings can be transferred.
