Safety instructions
General
Observe the operating instructions. Non-observance of the instructions, operation which is not in accordance with use as prescribed below, wrong installation or incorrect handling can affect the safety of operators and machinery.
The installation and connection must comply with the applicable national and international standards. Responsibility lies with the person installing the device.
The device must only be installed, connected and put into operation by a qualified electrician as the safe function of the device and machinery is only guaranteed when installation is correctly carried out.
Disconnect the device externally before handling it.
In case of malfunction of the device or uncertainties please contact the manufacturer. Any tampering with the device can seriously affect the safety of operators and machinery. This is not permitted and leads to the exclusion of any liability and warranty claims.
Radio equipment
In general, radio equipment must not be used in the vicinity of petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting operations.
- Do not transport and store any flammable gases, liquids or explosive substances near the device.
Interference of electronic and medical devices
Operation of the device can affect the function of electronic devices that are not correctly shielded.
- Disconnect the device in the vicinity of medical equipment.
- Contact the manufacturer of the corresponding device in case of any interference.
Because of the requirements for electromagnetic interference emissions, the device is intended for use in industrial environments. The device is not suitable for use in domestic areas.
The device may only be used
under the operating conditions specified in the data sheet.
Functions and features
In combination with the IO-Link master the read/write head DTI600 is used for non-contact reading and writing of RFID tags that conform to the system (ID tags).
The data is available as process data at the IO-Link interface.
Function
Operating principle
The ID tags are operated passively, i.e. without battery. The energy required for operation is supplied by the read/write head.
The physical principle of the energy transfer is based on inductive coupling.
The integrated antenna coil in the read/write head generates a magnetic field which partly penetrates the antenna coil of the ID tag. A voltage is generated by induction that supplies the data carrier with energy.
Overview
Art. no.: DTI600
Function: read/write head
Type designation: DTRHF HLRWIOUS03
Operating frequency: 13.56 Mhz
Type: rectangular
Max. transmitter power: 2 watts
Installation
General installation instructions
When mounting several read/write heads adhere to the minimum distances between the systems.- Installing a read/write head in or on metal reduces the read and write distance.
- The immediate vicinity of powerful HF emission sources such as welding transformers or converters can affect operation of the read/write heads.
- Information on the available mounting accessories is available on our website at www.ifm.com.
Notes on ID tag mounting
- Installation of the ID tags in and on metal reduces the read and write distances.
- For positioning the ID tags the read/write heads are marked with an antenna symbol on the active face. It designates the middle of the integrated antenna coil and has to correspond with the middle of the ID tag.
- The orientation of the read/write head axis must correspond with the axis of the ID tag coil.
Avoiding interference
The device generates a modulated electrical field with a frequency of 13.56 MHz.
To avoid interference of the data communication no other devices generating interference emission in this frequency band must be operated in its vicinity. Such devices are for example frequency converters and switched-mode power supplies.
Mechanical design
- Sensing face
- Connection (can be rotated by 270°)
Fixing
For installation, the following optional accessories are available.
The device can be mounted without the accessories. For installation, please use the threaded sleeves on the back of the device. The necessary screws are not supplied with the device.
Installation with angle bracket E80335
Installation with mounting device E80336
The mounting device is used to mount the device to a clamp. The following clamps can be used:
- E21110 with a rod diameter of 12 mm
- E20795 with a rod diameter of 14 mm
