2.1Intended use
The RFU610-106xx is an intelligent UHF read/write device from the RFU61x prod uct family. The device is used for the automated, fixed identification of passive,
wireless-based data cards (transponders) on moving or stationary objects and their management.
As a compact read/write device, the RFU610-106xx has an internal antenna that is integrated into the housing. The device processes all standard passive transponders in accordance with ISO/IEC 18000-63 and EPCglobal UHF C1G2 in the regional UHF carrier frequency range. Thanks to its intelligent process logic, the device can be used either as a stand-alone solution or as part of a group in a network. The device sends the read results to a higher-level computer for further processing via its host interface. The device also receives commands for data card management (write, read, etc.) via this interface.

|
|
|
(e.g., not plugged in, contacts contaminated, or |
|
|
|
without free storage space for writing). |
3.3 microSD memory card (optional accessory)
The device can execute the following functions on the plug-in memory card:
•Automated, additional storage of the internal parameter set to an external storage medium (cloning function), if available. This is done in the framework of the recommended safety concept for the device parameter sets. The func tion is triggered by saving the internal parameter set with the “permanent” option. The function is used,among other things, to conveniently transfer the parameter set to an replacement device of the same type in the event of an fault.
•Continuous recording of diagnostic read data after the first manual start, e.g., via SOPAS ET. Recording is resumed after a device restart when the function is set permanently.
The first 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.
Only use types approved by SICK to ensure reliable function of the memory card, see www.sick.com/RFU61x. The memory card has no write protection that can be activated.
Inserting the memory card
The card slot can be accessed on the device behind the plastic foil, see Device description, page 1.
Maintaining enclosure rating IP67: see Safety information, page 1.
1.Switch off the supply voltage to the device.
2.Loosen both screws on the cover.
3.Carefully fold up the cover.
4.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.
5.Screw the cover back on.
6.Switch the supply voltage for the device back on.
7.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 parameter set that cannot be interpreted by the device, the device saves its currently valid internal parameter set to the card (provided there is sufficient storage space) and starts with the internal parameter set.
°If the card contains a parameter set that can be interpreted by the device, the device 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.
NOTE
Possible data loss or irreparable damage to the memory card!
The device does not signal access to the card.
•Only use memory card when the device power is off.
•Do not remove the memory card or switch off the supply voltage while the SOPAS ET configuration software is making changes to the parame ter values with the “permanent” option or starting functions in the device that access the memory card (e.g., logging data).
•To remove the memory card safely during operation, select the Remove card function under Analysis Tools/MicroSD memory card and wait for SOPAS ETto provide confirmation.
4Mounting
4.1 Scope of delivery
•Device in the version ordered. Electrical connections fitted with protective caps or plugs. Without connecting cables. Without brackets.
•Regional printed Quickstarts: see Device overview, page 6. Other lan guage versions may be available in PDF format on the RFU610-106xx prod uct page online at: www.sick.com/RFU61x.
4.2 Auxiliary equipment required
•2 x M5 screws for mounting the device on a mounting device (bracket) sup plied 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.
4.3 Installation requirements
•The permissible ambient conditions for operating the device must be observed, e.g., assigned region, ambient temperature, ground potential: see Technical data (excerpt), page 5 and see Electrical installation,
page 2.
•The device must be mounted using the 2 M5 blind tapped holes provided, see Device description, page 1.
•Stable mounting equipment with sufficient load-bearing capacity and appro priate dimensions for the device. Weight approx. 313 g (without cables), see Device description, page 1.
•No electrically conductive material between transponder and device.
4.4 Mounting the device
1.Select a suitable mounting location for the device. The mounting location and position depend on the antenna field of the device and the transpon ders used.
2.Perform one of the following steps:
°Mount the device on the bracket provided by the customer using the
2 screws. Screw the M5 screws no more than 7 mm deep into the blind tapped holes, see Device description, page 1.
°Mount the device on the SICK mounting accessories ordered sepa rately.
3.Align the surface of the internal antenna of the device (front face) to the data card on the object. While doing so, take into account the shape, align ment, and dimensions of the antenna fields. Avoid as far as possible any large metal surfaces positioned to the front. If this is not possible, do not mount the antenna plane parallel with the surface.
Figure 2: Selection of the approach angle with a large metal surface on the front. e.g., 10°
1 Metal surface
4.Ensure there is no electrically conductive material (e.g., metal or liquids) or persons between the device and the transponder during the write or read process. This will absorb or reflect the generated UHF field and thereby reduce the sensing range.
Sensing range of the reading and writing field
The UHF field of the internal antenna is influenced by its environment, making it impossible to provide a “clear” demarcation of the sensing range. Application-spe cific reflections can result in both overreaches and “holes”. In addition to the read results, the RFU device can also output diagnostic data that provide an indication of the write and read quality. This data can be used to achieve optimum read results when setting up the system.
The quality of the transponder and the material of the object also determine the sensing range. The quality of the transponder is determined by the antenna gain, the integrated transponder chip and the related sensitivity, and the reflected energy.
The radiation pattern shown here for the internal antenna of the device was obtained in a reproducible environment (absorber chamber) for illustrative pur poses. It may therefore only have limited applicability to your specific application.
