BF-IDU03
RFID-Reader
Setup and Operation
The BF-IDU03 device will operate when the BIS V control unit receives read or write commands
from the connected PLC. See the manual of BIS V control units for how to send commands to
the control unit.
The transmission power may be set up with Service Software e.g. "Balluff UHF Manager" up to
the specified maximum to control the read and write range of the device.
Status Indicators
The device will show its status using the 4 LEDs at the corners of the housing. In normal
operation state the meaning of these lights are as follows:
►
Green light "Power" indicates that the device is connected to the control unit and ready to
operate.
►
Red light "Status" (permanent) indicates that the device's temperature is outside limits,
probably because the ambient temperature is too high or the device is defective.
►
Red light "Status" (flashing) indicates that the devices settings are not initialized correctly.
Please contact Service.
►
Blue light "RF active" indicates that the device has turned radio frequency transmission on
and tries to scan for tags or write or read data over the air.
►
Orange light "Tag present" indicates that at least one UHF EPC Global tag could be found by
the device. The light will stay on for at least 3 seconds after a successful scan.
