Standard IP technology
2.1 Intended use
The RFU630-041xx is an intelligent RFID read/write device (UHF) from the
RFU63x product family. The stationary device automatically identifies wirelessbased data cards (transponders) on stationary and moving objects. The device
also supports data card management.
The device is a compact read and write unit that uses a maximum of 4 external
antennas to process all current, passive transponders in accordance with
ISO/IEC 18000-6C and EPCglobal UHFC1G2 in the regionally-dependent UHF car‐
rier frequency range. The device does not contain any integrated antennas.
Intelligent process logic enables processing 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 via its host interface. The computer coordinates further processing.
The device receives corresponding commands for data card management (write,
read, etc.) via its host interface.
Device variants refer to the region assignment (operating permit and carrier fre‐
quency range), see Device overview, page 7.
Intended use of the device also includes compliance with all information in this

3.3 microSD memory card (optional accessory)
Function
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 4Dpro device parameter sets.
The function is triggered by saving the internal parameter set with the “per‐
manent” option. The function is used, among other things, to conveniently
transmit the parameter set to an exchange unit of the same type in the event
of an error. Optional external media include a memory card which can be
plugged into the device or the CMC600 parameter storage module, which
can be used in the optional connection module, e.g., CDB650-204 or
CDM420-0006.
•
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/RFU63x. The memory card has no write protection that can be
activated.

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 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.
NOTICE
Possible data loss or irreparable damage to the memory card!
The “microSD” LED lights up green when a memory card which is ready for
operation is inserted into the device. In this state, the device can either read
data from the card or write data to the card. Access to the card itself is not
signaled by the device (compare electronic camera with memory card).
The “microSD” LED lights up yellow when, for example, a function which
requires a memory card has been started manually with SOPAS ET and the
card is not ready for operation (e.g., not inserted, contacts are contaminated,
or no free storage space).
To avoid damaging the memory card, make sure there is no power to the
b
device when you insert or remove it.
If parameter values are changed with the “permanent” option in the
b
device using the SOPAS ET configuration software while the memory
card is inserted or if functions are started which access the memory
card (e.g., logging of data), do not remove the memory card and do not
switch off the supply voltage.
In order to remove the memory card in a controlled manner while work‐
b
ing with SOPAS ET when the device is switched on, select the Remove SD
card function under Analysis/SD card and wait for confirmation from
SOPAS ET.

If necessary, stable mounting equipment with sufficient load-bearing capac‐
ity and appropriate dimensions for the device. Weight of the device (without
cables): see Technical data, page 5, device dimensions: see Device view,
page 1.
•
Make sure there is no electrically conductive material between transponder
and device.
4.4 Mounting the device
1.Select a suitable mounting location for the device. This depends on the
lengths of cable chosen for the external antennas.
2.Optional: Attach the separately ordered SICK mounting accessories to the
device. Otherwise, use suitable screws to mount the device on the bracket
provided by the user. Observe the maximum screw-in depth of the blind hole
thread here, see Device view, page 1.
3.The mounting location and position of the external antenna(s) depend on
their antenna fields and the transponders used.
4.Align the surface of the external antenna(s) to the data card on the object.
While doing so, take into account the shape, alignment, and dimensions of
the antenna fields. Avoid as far as possible any large metal surfaces posi‐
tioned to the front. If this is not possible, do not mount the antenna(s) plane
parallel with the surface.
4.5 Mounting the CDB650-204 connection module
Mount the CDB650-204 connection module in the vicinity of the device.
b
When using the serial data interfaces (RS-232), the recommended length of
cable between the devices is max. 5 m.
Mount the CDB650-204 in such a way that the device can be accessed at all
times, see the CDB650-204 connection module operating instructions.
5Electrical installation
•
The electrical installation must only be performed by electrically qualified persons.
•
Standard safety requirements must be met when working on electrical systems.
•
Electrical connections between the RFU630 and other devices may only be
made or separated when there is no power to the system. Otherwise, there is
a risk of damaging the devices.
•
In the case of open end connecting or extension cables, make sure that bare
wire ends do not touch. This creates a risk of short-circuits if the supply volt‐
age is switched on. Wires must be appropriately insulated from each other.
•
The wire cross-sections in the supply cable from the user’s power system
must be selected in accordance with the applicable national standards.
•
All circuits connected to the device must be designed as SELV circuits.
Supply voltage
•
Supply voltage DC 18 V to 30 V:
°
When the device is connected to the optional SICK CDB650-204 or
CDM420-0006 connection module using a SICK cable.
°
When the device is operated without a connection module using a SICK
cable. 2 A fuse protection at the start of the feeding supply circuit.
•
Optional 12 V to 30 V DC supply voltage when the device is operated without
a connection module using SICK supply cable part no. 6048319
(2 x 0.25 mm2, 10 m). 2.5 A fuse protection.
•
The voltage supply via a power supply unit must be capable of buffering a

Metal surface
5.Ensure there is no electrically conductive material (e.g., metal, 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 read and write field of the RFA630-x00 antenna
The environment can influence the UHF field or antenna(s), making it impossible
to provide a “clear” demarcation of the sensing range. Application-specific reflec‐
tions can result in both overreaches and “holes”. For estimation purposes, the
device can also output diagnostic data that provides an indication of the read and
write quality in addition to the read results. This data can be used to achieve opti‐
mum read results when setting up the system.
The quality of the transponder and the material of the object (plastic, wood,
metal) 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

was obtained in a reproducible environment (absorber chamber) for illustrative
purposes. The diagram may therefore only have limited applicability to your spe‐
cific application.
brief power failure of 20 ms.
•
The voltage supply or power supply unit must satisfy SELV requirements in
accordance with the currently applicable EN 60950-1. (SELV = Safety Extra
Low Voltage).
Required input voltage on connection module
Voltage drops in the supply circuit affect the connection cable from the connec‐
tion module (CDB650-204 or CDM420-0006) to the device (decrease dependent
on the length) as well as – to a certain extent – the connection module itself. In
order to compensate for this loss when operating the device at the lower end of
the supply range (18 V DC), the following, higher input voltage must be applied to
the connection module:

WARNING
Risk of injury and damage caused by electrical current!
As a result of equipotential bonding currents between the device and other
grounded devices in the system, faulty grounding of the device can give rise
to the following dangers and faults:
•
Dangerous voltages are applied to the metal housings.
•
Devices will behave incorrectly or be destroyed.
•
Cable shielding will be damaged by overheating and cause cable fires.
Remedial measures
•
Only skilled electricians should be permitted to carry out work on the
electrical system.
•
If the cable insulation is damaged, disconnect the voltage supply imme‐
diately and have the damage repaired.
•
Ensure that the ground potential is the same at all grounding points.
•
Where local conditions do not meet the requirements for a safe earthing
method, take appropriate measures (e.g., ensuring low-impedance and
current-carrying equipotential bonding).
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the device due to possible short-circuit!
The supply voltage input for the device is designed with internal circuit protec‐
