Table 4: Overview of product features and functions of the device
Product feature/func‐
tion
Characteristic
Security and ease of
use
•
Rugged, compact metal housing, CE marking (Europe)
•
Automatic self-test at system start
•
Diagnostic tools for device setup and (remote) device monitoring
•
Output of the read result as well as error messages in IO-Link
format
•
Future-proof due to firmware update via data interface
•
Supply voltage via IO-Link.
•
Low power consumption
•
Large ambient temperature range. For details,
•
Standardized, simple commissioning and operation thanks to the
integrated IO-Link interface
•
Backup of the configuration data of the device in the IO-Link master
(data storage)
Convenient opera‐
tion/configuration
•
Device configuration for demonstrating the operating principle of
the device in the SICK SiLink2 IO-Link master with SOPAS ET config‐
uration software
•
Device configuration for operational use via the system control
(PLC) using an IO-Link master and the type-specific IO-Link device
description file (IODD) of the device in the configuration tool of the
PLC
•
Optional function blocks for easier integration of the device into PLC
programs
•
Status and process feedback indicators via LEDs
Write/Read trigger
•
Via PLC
•
Alternatively: Local, object-related triggering on site by external trig‐
ger sensor, e.g. with photoelectric sensor
Radio interface(s)
•
Integrated antenna
Transponder Process‐
ing
•
The RFU610-107xx base model supports all standard passive
transponders compatible with EPCglobal UHF Class 1 Generation
2 or ISO/IEC-18000-6C
•
Reading, writing, and multiple overwriting of the data on the trans‐
ponders, depending on the application
•
Within a process chain, the device supplying the data is a partial
component for the complete visualization of data
Transponder Manage‐
ment
•
Decoding of the UII. Supports GS1 TDS and other industry-specific
standards such as VDA55xx.
Data processing
•
Ensuring through various filter criteria that the desired transponder
is output.
Data communication
•
IO-Link interface (IO-Link V1.1 according to standard IEC 61131-9)
for data exchange with the PLC
Electrical Interfaces
•
IO-Link interface: IO-Link Port Class A, supply voltage and data
transmission
•
1 digital input for external trigger sensor
Connectivity (Design)
•
1 x male connector, M12, 4-pin, A-coded, 1 x female connector, M8,
4-pin, coded, 1 x USB (female connector, type Micro-B)
