PRODUCT INFORMATION

RFU63x
Interrogators (Write/Read Units)

Intelligent technology ensures easy integration

RFU63x – compact, industrial, intelligent

The RFU63x sets new standards for automatic identication with RFID.
Through its combination of high-performance hardware and intelligent software,
the RFU63x is capable of solving the most demanding auto ID tasks in industrial

automation. The RFU63x fullls industry standards such as EPCglobal and
ISO/IEC 18000-6C and reads/writes to conventional passive storage media.
This ensures long-term investment security.

Thanks to the IDpro platform from SICK, the RFU63x can be easily inte-grated into

customary factory and logistics automation eldbus levels.
The SOPAS user interface makes it possible to quickly and exibly adapt the device
to the necessary application-specic tasks.

With a high output power and receiver sensitivity, greater scanning ranges can be reached. Through
the integrated anti-collision feature, several transponders located simultaneously in a eld can be
captured. The robust and industry-suitable design allows the use with forklift trucks and in indoor or
outdoor areas, among others.

Product description

The RFU63x is an ultra-high frequency
(UHF) RFID solution for industrial en-

vironments. Via integrated application

management software, the RFU63x is
able to solve common industrial applica­tions without any external “middleware”
and can, therefore, be used as a stand-

alone solution. This is possible due to
an integrated lter and data manage-

At a glance

• UHF RFID read/write unit for indus-

trial applications

• With or without integrated antenna,

depending on the type (up to four
external antennas can be connected)

• Standard-compliant transponder

interface (ISO/IEC 18000-6C/EPC
G2C1)

Your benets

• Intelligent technology allows stand-

alone usage

• Highest reading/writing performance

• Flexible integration in common indus-

trial eldbuses via IDpro compatibility

• Less maintenance time due to an

integrated cloning back-up system
using microSD memory card

ment system. With IDpro compatibility,
the RFU63x is easy and cost-efcient to
integrate in common industrial environ­ments. Different options for parameter
cloning between systems (e.g., integrat-

ed MicroSD card feature) reduce main-

tenance time. The integrated feedback

LED can be used to read diagnostic or

process feedback.

• Supports common industrial data

interfaces and eldbuses

• MicroSD memory card for device

parameter cloning

• Several diagnostic and service op-

tions available

• Easily adapts to application require-

ments via SOPAS parameter setting

tool

• Free usable feedback LED quickly

provides read results and diagnostic

information directly to the user
