RFH6xx

RFID read/write device (HF) with internal short
range antenna

RFH630-1102101S05

Intended use

The RFH630-1102101S05 read/write device is an in­telligent SICK-4Dpro sensor from the RFH6xx product
family. The special device is used for the automatic,

stationary identication of transponders and their

management. The special device enables a process
reliable reading/writing of the die. The die acts as a
HF transponder (ISO15693) with an integrated coil
and IC (Integrated Circuit). The transponders are
located on moving or stationary objects.

As a compact device, the RFH630-1102101S05 has
an integrated antenna. It processes all standard ISO/
IEC-15693-compatible transponders on carrier fre­quency 13.56 MHz. Thanks to its intelligent process
logic, it can be used either as a stand-alone solution
or as part of a group in a network.

The RFH630-1102101S05 read/write device sends
the read results to a higher-level computer for further
processing via its host interface. Or it receives com­mands for transponder management (write, read, etc.)
via this interface.

Intended use also includes compliance with all infor­mation in this Quickstart.

For simplicity in this document, the
RFH630-1102101S05 read/write device is referred to
as the “device”.

About this document

The purpose of this Quickstart is to allow you to com­mission the device quickly and easily, and to achieve
initial read results with transponders.

The Quickstart describes the commissioning process
for an application with one device in ambient tem­perature range 0 °C to +50 °C, based on its default
setting. The optional CDB620-001 connection module
is used for the industrial-standard signal distribution
of the device.

the conditions for any specied enclosure rating):

• The side cover of the microSD card slot must
be screwed tight to the device.

• The SICK cables plugged into the M12 connec­tions must be screwed tight.

• Any electrical connections that are not being

used must be tted with protective caps or

plugs that are screwed tight (as in the delivery
condition).

• Only operate the device without the cover for
a short period while inserting or removing the
memory card. During this time, protect the
device against moisture and dust.

• Opening the screws of the device housing will
invalidate any warranty claims against SICK AG. For
further warranty provisions, see the General Terms

Commissioning and conguration

Scope of delivery

• RFH630-1102101S05 special device. Electrical

connections tted with protective caps or plugs

if necessary. Without connecting cables and
brackets.

• Printed Quickstart: English (part no. 8023443),
German (part no. 8023442).

Step 1: Mounting and alignment

Equipment required

• At least 2 x M6 screws or 2 x M4 screws for mount­ing the device on a mounting device (bracket)
provided by the customer. Screw length is depen­dent on the mounting base (wall thickness of the
bracket). When using an optional SICK bracket, the
screws for mounting the device on the bracket are
included in the scope of delivery of the bracket.

Mounting requirements

• The permissible ambient conditions for operating
the device must be observed, e.g., ambient tem­perature, ground potential. - See “Technical data

(excerpt)” on page 4 and “Step 2: Electrical
installation” on page 2.

• The device must be mounted using all 4 M6
threaded mounting holes (minimum 2) or 2 through
holes (both) provided. - See “Device layout” on
page 5.

• Stable mounting device with sucient load-bearing
capacity and suitable dimensions for the device.
Weight max. 760 g (not including cables). - See
“Device layout” on page 5.

• The device should be as free from shock and vibra­tion as possible when mounted.

• To prevent mutual interference with a neighbor-

ing device, ensure that there is sucient distance

between the two devices which are being operated
simultaneously.

Mounting the device

1. Select a suitable mounting location for the device.

The mounting location and position depend on
the antenna elds of the device and the transpon­ders used.

2. Optional: Attach mounting kit part no. 2048551

(optional accessory) to the device (see

 RFH630 technical information, “Mounting”
chapter). Otherwise, mount the device on the

bracket provided by the customer using at least
2 M6 screws. Screw in the M6 screws to max.

6.5 mm into the threaded mounting holes ( see

“Device layout” on page 5).

3. Align the surface of the integrated antenna on

the device (front face) and where applicable the
external antenna of the transponder to the object.
Avoid any large metal surfaces positioned to the
front as far as possible.

4. Ensure that no electrically conductive objects,

such as metal objects, are positioned between
the device/external antenna and the transponder
during the read/write process. This would attenu-

ate the generated HF eld and thereby reduce the

scanning range of the device.

Scanning range of the read/write eld on the device

The maximum scanning range for communication
between the device and transponder depends on
various factors. Primarily, the dimensions of the

transponder's antenna positively aects the scanning

range. An additional factor for the scanning range
is the quality of the transponder, for example, the

CDB620-001 connection module

 Mount the CDB620-001 connection module in

the vicinity of the device. If you are using the
serial data interfaces (RS-232), we recommend
a max. distance of 3 m. Mount the CDB620-001
in such a way that the device remains acces­sible at all times. See also  CDB620-001
connection module operating instructions (part
no. 8012119). - See “Sources for additional

information” on page 5

.

Step 2: Electrical installation

• The electrical installation must only be per-

formed by electrically qualied persons.

• Standard safety requirements must be met when
working in electrical systems.

• Electrical connections between the device and
other devices may only be created or disconnected
when there is no power to the system. Otherwise,
the devices may be damaged.

• When using connecting or extension cables with an
open end, make sure that bare wire ends are not
touching (risk of short-circuit when the supply volt­age is switched on). Wires must be appropriately
insulated from each other.

• Wire cross-sections in the supply cable from the
customer's power system must be designed in
accordance with the applicable standards. 0.8 A
protection at the start of the feeding supply circuit
when the device is operated without a connection
module using a SICK cable.

• The power supply via a power supply unit must be

capable of buering a brief power failure of 20 ms.

• All circuits connected to the device must be de­signed as ES1 circuits. The power supply or power
supply unit must satisfy ES1 requirements in ac­cordance with the currently applicable EN 62368-1.
(ES 1 = electrial source class 1).

NOTE

Risk of damage to the device due to possible short-

circuit!

The supply voltage input in the device is designed with
internal circuit protection to provide reverse polarity
protection. The internal functional earth, which also
corresponds to the negative pole of the device has a
direct connection to the metal housing of the device
due to reasons relating to high frequency.

If the supply voltage has the incorrect polarity, this will
not cause any damage provided that the device is not
connected (by

• either other cables or

• its housing)

to other peripheral devices that use the same ground­ing point.

WARNING

Risk of injury and damage caused by electrical

current!

The device is designed to be operated in a system
with professional grounding of all connected devices
and mounting surfaces to the same ground potential.
As a result of equipotential bonding currents between
the device and other grounded devices in the system,
faulty grounding of the device can have the following

consequences:

• Metal housings are vulnerable to dangerous cur­rents

• Malfunction and destruction of devices

• Damage to the cable shields caused by heating,

resulting in cable res.

 Ensure that the ground potential is the same at all

grounding points. See the “Electrical installation”
chapter in the  RFH630 technical information for
measures to eliminate hazards.

 If the cable insulation is damaged, disconnect the

power supply immediately and have the damage
repaired.

1. Connect the communication interface (e.g., Ether­net) of the device directly to the PC.

Function

The device saves its congured parameter values as

a parameter set in its internal permanent memory
on request. A optional plug-in memory card can be
used for additional parameter cloning on an external
device. If the card is available, the device also saves
the internal parameter set on this. To start clon­ing, save the parameter set in the device using the
SOPAS ET option “Save parameter permanently”. It is
used, among other things, to conveniently transfer the
parameter set to an exchange unit of the same type in
the event of an error.

As an alternative to the memory card, you can use the
optional CMC600 parameter storage module, which
can be used in the optional connection module, e.g,
CDB620-001 or CDM420-0001.

If both the memory card and the parameter storage
module are available, the device adopts the param­eter set from the CMC600 parameter storage module
on restarting.

The rst time a parameter set is stored, we recom­mend that an empty memory card is used (if neces­sary, check and delete the contents of the card on the
PC using a card reader).

The memory card is not included with delivery.

on the Internet at www.sick.com/RFH6xx.
The memory card has no write protection that can be
activated.

Inserting the memory card

 To avoid damaging the memory card, make sure

there is no power to the device when you insert or
remove it.

The card slot can be accessed on the device behind
the aluminum cover. - See ß, “Device layout” on
page 5.

Maintaining the IP 67 enclosure rating: - See “Safety
information” on page 1.

1. Turn o the supply voltage to the device.

2. To remove the cover, unscrew both Allen screws
(A/F 2).

3. Making sure it is in the correct position (with the
contacts pointing to the front and down – see the
symbol on the device), insert the memory card
into the card slot until it locks into place.

4. Screw the aluminum cover back on.

5. Turn on the supply voltage to the device.

Fig. 8: Inserting the memory card

6. Once it is switched on, the device automatically
detects the presence of a memory card and,
depending on the card's content, behaves as

follows:

• If the card is empty or if it contains a parame-

ter set that cannot be interpreted by the device,
the device saves its currently valid internal
parameter set to the card and starts with this
parameter set.

• If the card contains a parameter set that can

be interpreted by the device, the device per­manently overwrites the currently valid internal
parameter set with this external parameter set.
The goal is for the internal parameter set and
the parameter set saved externally to always
be identical.

Only use types approved by SICK to ensure reliable
function of the memory card. See SICK product page
