3 For Your Safety

The product is designed according to state of the art technology. Residual hazards, however,
still exist. Observe the following warnings and safety regulations in order to prevent danger to
persons and property. Turck accepts no liability for damage caused by failure to observe these
warnings and safety instructions.

3.1 Intended use

The devices are designed only for use in industrial areas.
The passive BL ident® tags are designed for contactless write and read operations from several
BL ident® HF read/write heads with an operating frequency of 13.56 MHz. The tags are suitable
for mounting in metal. The achievable read/write distances may vary according to factors such
as component tolerances, mounting locations, ambient conditions and the effect of materials.
For this reason, the application must be tested in all cases under real conditions (particularly
with read and write operations in motion).
The device must only be used as described in these instructions. Any other use is not in accor­dance with the intended use; Turck accepts no liability for any resulting damage.

3.2 Obvious misuse

The devices are not safety components and must not be used for the protection of persons and
property.

3.3 General safety notes

■

The device must only be fitted, installed, set, operated and maintained by trained personnel.

■

Only use the device in compliance with the applicable national and international regulations,

standards and laws.

■

The device only fulfills the EMC requirements for industrial applications and is not suitable for

use in residential areas.

Product Description

4 Product Description

The TW-R…-M-B146 tags have 146 bytes of EEPROM memory and can be read or written with
BL ident read/write heads as well as Turck handhelds. The tags are available with a diameter of
10 mm or 12 mm.

4.3 Operating principle

BL ident tags are passive, i.e. they operate without the use of a battery and are powered by
the magnetic or electromagnetic field generated by the read/write head. If the tag enters the
transmission field of the read/write head, it is activated for writing and reading the data. The
tag does not generate its own field for this, but the field of the read/write head simply changes
through load modulation. For this, a load resistor is switched on and off in the cycle of the trans­ferred data and the mutual inductance of the HF tag is consequently changed. These changes
are detected by the read/write head and evaluated.

4.4 Functions and operating modes

The passive BL ident HF tags can be written and read by HF read/write heads at an operating
frequency of 13.56 MHz. The tags have a 146 byte EEPROM memory. Refer to the data sheets for
the maximum achievable read/write distances. The memory areas of the tag can be password
protected from write and read access.

4.5 Technical accessories

The tags can only be written or read with the appropriate read/write heads and handhelds.
Information about compatible devices is provided in the relevant product data sheet.
An overview of other RFID system components is provided in the RFID engineering manual.

5 Mounting

The tags can be fitted flush to the mounting environment. An undermount installation (1 mm
in metal) will reduce the read/write distance by approx. 30 %.

5.1 Aligning tags to the read/write head

 Align tags to the read/write head as shown in Fig. 3.

Fig. 3: Aligning tags to the read/write head (example: TNSLR-Q42TWD-H1147)

 Take read/write distances into account. Refer to the product data sheet for the values for

recommended distance (A), maximum distance (B) and the length of the transmission zone

(C) at the recommended distance.

 Position the tag so that it moves past the edges of the read/write head housing during a read

or write operation (see Fig. 4, green areas).

 Fill the hole with an adequate quantity of adhesive material or potting material.

NOTE

Turck can provide on request a recommendation for adhesives that meet FDA and EU
requirements for accidental contact with food. This recommendation does not release
the user from an examination regarding the suitability of a particular adhesive for the
relevant application.

 Push the tag correctly aligned in the hole. The tags cannot be correctly aligned in the hole at

a later time.

 Let the adhesive cure in order prevent the tags from turning.
 Optional: Fill any recess or cavity with adhesive.
 Optional: Spread the adhesive to produce a flush surface.

6 Operation

NOTE

The achievable read/write distances may vary according to factors such as component
tolerances, mounting locations, ambient conditions and the effect of materials. For this
reason, the application must be tested in all cases under real conditions (particularly
with read and write operations in motion).

7 Setting – Protecting Tags with a Password

NOTE

The following describes the password function with the BL…-2RFID-A and BL…2RFID­S RFID electronic modules. The use of the password function with the TBEN… compact
RFID interfaces is described in the operating instructions of the relevant interfaces.

The password function enables the memory areas of the tags to be protected from write and
read access.

The password function consists of different commands that are executed via a Get command.
The password must consist of 4 bytes. Information on the individual commands are provided in
this chapter.

The assignment of a password is only possible in Standard access mode.

NOTE

The password function only offers basic access protection. The function contains no
encryption and does not meet the requirements of increased access protection. The
password function is not suitable for safety-related applications.

7.1 Component and rmware version

In order to use the password function, the RFID components used must have at least the follow­ing firmware versions:

7.2 BLxx-2RFID-A module – Overview of commands

The commands required for the password function are sent to the BLxx-2RFID-A module via a
Get command.
For this the following entries must be made with all commands:

■

CMDREF[x].CMD = 0x62

■

Refer to the descriptions of the individual commands for the values for CMDREF[x].length.

7.2.1 Set Transceiver PWD command

The Set Transceiver PWD command sets a password in the read/write head via a Get command.
The password is stored temporarily in the memory of the read/write head. After the power sup­ply of the read/write head is reset, the password must be set again in the read/write head.

If an incorrect password is sent, this causes a timeout (unknown error, error code E1FE8100).
