|
|
|
The LED flashes once for the 'INACTIVE' status, rebooting is not necessary in this |

Note
LED not lit yellow?
If the LED does not light up yellow even though a tag is located within the field, common causes are:
•Incorrect configuration in the init_run command, or init_run command was not executed (see "Configuration Manual RF620R/RF630R")
•Antenna is switched off
•A tag is used, that is not compatible with the reader protocol (EPC Global Class 1 Gen 2).
•Tag is defective
•Reader or antenna has a defect
•Tag is not in the field of radiation of the transmit antenna

Comment
This cable has an 8-pin M12 connector at one end and the other cable end is 'open'. There are 8 color-coded single cores there for connecting to external devices. There are different cable lengths in the product range (3 m to 50 m). Long cables can be reduced if necessary.
Note
For long cables: Adapt supply voltage and data rate accordingly
Note that with long cables in particular, the supply voltage of 24 V DC must always be applied. Note also that the data rate on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced. (See "Configuration Manual RF620R/RF630R")

5.2.2Planning application
5.2.2.1Minimum mounting clearances of two antennas of different readers
At 500 mW ERP radiated power, due to the opening angle of the antennas, their fields can overlap considerably. It is no longer possible to clarify in which antenna field access to the data of a tag is performed.
In order to avoid this, always keep a minimum distance of 3 m between two antennas of different RF630R readers with the maximum radiated power of 500 mW ERP.
Dense Reader Mode (DRM)
The readers can also interfere with each other (secondary fields), if the channels (Reader TX, Transponder TX) overlap. In order to prevent a transponder channel overlapping with a reader channel, we recommend that the Dense Reader Mode (DRM) is used.

5.2.2.2Antenna/read point configurations
You can connect up to two external antennas to the RF630R reader. The standard setting is that two antennas are connected when the reader is started.
You have 3 possibilities for aligning the antennas and covering the read point.
One RF630R reader with two antennas and two read points
If you connect two external antennas to the device and align them in different directions, you can read tags at two different read points. With this technique, a particular antenna must be switched off application-dependently to be able to establish which tags have been read from which antenna. The reader also provides a mode for this purpose in which the antennas can be switched on and off cyclically (both antennas must be connected). Note the minimum distances between the antennas for the antenna configuration (see Chapter Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas (Page 49) .
One RF630R reader with two antennas and one read point
If you connect two external antennas to the device and align them in the same direction (portal configuration), you can read tags at one read point. With this method, the reader automatically switches between the two antennas while the tags are being read. Note the minimum distances between the antennas for the antenna configuration (see Chapter Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas (Page 49) .
One RF630R reader with one antenna and one read point
If you connect an external antenna to the device, you can read tags at one read point.

5.2.3.1Mounting/Installation
Requirement
WARNING
Ensure that the wall or ceiling can hold four times the total weight of the device.
CAUTION
Emitted radiation
The transmitter complies with the requirements of Health Canada and the FCC limit values for subjecting persons to HF radiation, provided that a minimum spacing of 26 cm exists between antenna and person. When the antennas are installed, you must therefore ensure that a minimum spacing of 26 cm is maintained between personnel and antennas.
Mounting/installing the device
You can mount the reader directly onto a flat surface.
The positions of the fixing holes for the device are shown in the section Dimension drawings (Page 134).

5.2.4Configuration/integration
The RS422 system interface is provided for integrating the device into system environments/networks. The system interface transfers data to SIMATIC controllers or PCs with the appropriate interface.
Apart from transmitting communication data from the reader to the controller and vice versa, the RS422 interface also supplies power to the reader (24 V DC).

Figure 5-7 Overview of configuration of the RF630R reader
The RF630R reader can alternatively be connected to a SIMATIC controller via the ASM 456, ASM 475, RF170C and RF180C interface modules/communication modules.
The RF630R reader can alternatively also be connected directly to the PC via the RF182 communication module.
For further details on the interface modules used, see Chapter RF660R (Page 309) .
Further information about commissioning the readers can be found in the Configuration Manual "RF620R/RF630R" in the "Commissioning" section.
