About this document
The purpose of this Quickstart is to allow you to commission the RFU630-131xx
RFID read/write device (UHF) quickly and easily and to achieve initial read results
with transponders.
The Quick Start Guide is valid for all the regional radio device variants listed:
.
In the following, the Quick Start Guide refers to the RFU630-131xx (UHF) RFID
read/write device simply as “device”. If variants are to be differentiated in the
regional assignment, the respective device name RFU630-131
xx
is specified (xx =
regional assignment).
The Quickstart describes the commissioning process for an application with
one
device in an ambient temperature range 0 °C to +60 °C.
Commissioning is carried out as an example for the RFU630-13100 device vari‐
ant (Europe region and other countries if necessary,
). The basis is the basic parameter setting of the device. The optional
CDB650-204 connection module handles the industrial-standard signal distribu‐
tion for the device. Other connection modules are available.

for obtaining more information, page 9
in this Quick Start Guide.
More detailed information on mounting and electrically installing the device as a
stand-alone unit than provided in this Quickstart is available in the RFU63x/65x
RFID read/write device (UHF) operating instructions. The operating instructions
add the following information to the Quick Start Guide:
•
Requirements and notes for mounting and electrical installation at operating
ambient temperatures below 0 °C
•
For applications in widely distributed systems: Notes on the suppression of
ground potential equalizing currents
•
Electrical wiring plans for the CDB650-204 and CDM420-0006 connection
modules in relation to the connected RFU630-131xx

Safety information
•
This chapter is dedicated to the safety of commissioning personnel and the
operator of the system in which the device is integrated.
•
Read this Quickstart carefully to familiarize yourself with the device and its
functions before commissioning the device. The Quickstart is considered a
part of the device and must be kept in an accessible location in the immedi‐
ate vicinity of the device at all times!
•
The radiated power of the optional external antenna(s) used must not
exceed the maximum value permitted for each specific country,
Electromagnetic radiation
WARNING
Health hazard as a result of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation!
The
RFU630-13100
device (Europa region and possibly other countries) is
designed for operation in accordance with ETSI EN 302208. During operation
with the integrated antenna and/or the external
RFA630-x00
antennas (Europa
region and possibly other countries), the human exposure regulations cov‐
ered by EN 50364 must be observed.
•
Limit human exposure to electromagnetic fields. Suitable safety dis‐
tances must be maintained during both short-term and long-term work
in the radiation range of the antennas. Minimum distances to be main‐
tained between the antenna and the human body during long-term
transmission:
°
30 cm at maximum antenna radiation power of 2 W ERP
°
15 cm at reduced radiation power of 1 W ERP
°
10 cm at radiation power of 0.5 W ERP
The
RFU630-13101
device (USA region and possibly other countries) satisfies
the limit values of the FCC for exposure to radiation in an uncontrolled envi‐
ronment.
•
During operation with the integrated antenna and/or the external
RFA630-x01
antennas (USA region and possibly other countries), a safety
distance of at least 30 cm must be maintained between the antenna
and the human body.

Conditions for specified enclosure rating
•
To ensure compliance with the IP67 enclosure rating of the device during
operation, the following requirements must be met. If these requirements
are not met, the device does not fulfill any specified enclosure rating.
°
The joint side cover for the USB interface and the memory card slot is
screwed tightly onto the device. Recommended tightening torque for
the cover screws: 40 Ncm ± 5 Ncm.
°
The cables plugged into the electrical M12 and TNC connections are
screwed tight.
°
Any unused M12 connections must be sealed with screw-on protective
caps (for male connectors) or plugs (for female connectors) as sup‐
plied.
°
Unused connections for external antennas must be sealed with metal
screw-on protective caps as supplied.
°
Only operate the device without a cover for a short period while insert‐
ing or removing the memory card or temporarily using the USB inter‐
face. During this time, protect the device against moisture and dust.
•
Opening the screws of the device housing will invalidate any warranty claims
against SICK AG. For further warranty provisions, see the General Terms and
Conditions of SICK AG, e.g. on the delivery note of the device.
Standard IP technology
NOTE
SICK uses standard IP technology in its products. The emphasis is
placed on availability of products and services.
SICK always assumes the following prerequisites:
•
The customer ensures the integrity and confidentiality of the data
and rights affected by its own use of the aforementioned products.
•
In all cases, the customer implements the appropriate security
measures, such
as network separation, firewalls, virus protection,
and patch management.
2.1 Intended use
The RFU630-131xx RFID read/write device (UHF) is an intelligent 4Dpro sensor
from the RFU6xx product family. Version (working range): Long Range.
The stationary device automatically identifies wireless-based data cards
(transponders) on stationary and moving objects. The device also supports data
card management.
The compact read/write device has an (internal) antenna integrated in the hous‐
ing and additionally allows up to 3 external antennas to be connected. The device
processes the data of all standard passive transponders in accordance with
ISO/IEC 18000-6C and EPCglobal UHF C1G2 in the regional UHF carrier frequency
range.
Intelligent process logic enables processing either as a stand-alone solution or as
part of a group in a network with several devices. The device sends the read
results to a higher-level computer (e.g. PLC) via its host interface. The computer
coordinates further processing of the data in the process.
The device receives corresponding commands for data card management (write,
read, etc.) via its host interface.
Device variants refer to the region assignment,
NOTE
The device approval was granted for a specific region. The region assignment
cannot be changed.
•
Only use the device in the region and the country for which it has been
approved.
•
When reselling the device, inform the buyer of the fixed region assign‐
ment.
•
Should the device be passed on to a third party, these operating instruc‐
tions and the Quick Start Guide should be handed over with it.
•
For country-specific particulars to consider when operating the device,
see Operational restrictions, page 8
.
Intended use also includes compliance with all information in this Quickstart and
the supplementary RFU63x/65x RFID read/write devices (UHF) operating instruc‐
tions.
