Operation
8.1
Operating options
The RFH5xx is configured for operative use in a system using the configuration tools of
the PLC and the type-specific IODD file. Using requests, the sequence program of the
PLC controls access to the fieldbus and the IO-Link master on the RFH5xx for reading
and writing the HF transponder.
To demonstrate its operating principle, the RFH5xx can also be set up with the SOPAS
ET configuration software.
NOTE
In addition to the existing operating instructions, use of the “IO-Link technical informa‐
tion” document is recommended:
•
The type-specific documents lists the available parameters and function of the
device in the parameterization and process data.
•
This document assists the user when setting up the device for demonstration of
operative use.
The type-specific
IO-Link technical information
can be found on the product page in the
Internet at:

Optical status indicators
RFH505 and RFH510
The two cylindrical device variants have 4 LEDs each on the bottom of the housing
above the electrical connection,
. The LEDs are arranged
symmetrically with 90° spacing and are therefore easy to see from different positions.
The display behavior of the 4 LEDs is identical.
