GENERAL VIEW
LED INDICATORS
green
READY
The READY LED is ON after the power up
sequence has completed.
amber
RF
The RF LED illuminates when RF power is being
transmitted by the antenna.
amber
COM
The COM (communications) LED flashes ON and
OFF when data is being transmitted between the
antenna and a tag.
When in Continuous Read mode, the COM LED
will remain ON and will turn OFF briefly only while
data is being read from or written to a tag.
CONNECTIVITY
M12 8 pin Male Connector (Data and Power Supply)
DIGITAL I/O (-S T29 MODELS )
DIMENS IONS
M12 8-pin Female Connector (Digital I/O)
This connector is available on BIS M-620-068-A01-00-
ST29 processor. See the BIS M-62_ processor manual
for details.
INS TALLATION GUIDELINES
•
RF performance and read/write range can be negatively
impacted by the proximity of metallic objects and liquids.
Avoid mounting the Balluff antenna within 15 cm (6
inches) of any metallic object or wet surface.
•
Do not route cables near other unshielded cables or near
wiring carrying high voltage or high current. Cross cables
at perpendicular intersections and avoid routing cables
near motors and solenoids.
•
Avoid mounting the Processor near sources of EMI
(electro-magnetic interference) or near devices that
generate high ESD (electro-static discharge) levels.
Always use adequate ESD prevention measures to
dissipate potentially high voltages.
•
If electrical interference is encountered (as indicated by a
significant reduction in read/write performance), relocate
the Processor to an area free from potential sources of
interference.
INS TALLATION
The BIS M-620-068-A01-00-S__ Processor is designed for
point-to-point RFID applications, where the distance from
host to Processor is less than 15 meters (50 feet). The
Processor connects directly to a serial communications port
on a host computer via an RS232-compatible serial interface
cable.
1. Select
a
suitable
location
for
the
BIS
M
Processor/Antenna.
2. Mount the BIS M Antenna to the BIS M Processor, either
Directly or Remotely, as described in the BIS M-37_
Installation Guide included with the antenna.
3. Mount the Processor and antenna to your mounting
fixture using
M5 (or #10)
diameter screws (
not included
)
and secure them with appropriate washers and nuts.
Tighten screws to
1.7 Nm or 15 lbs per inch ± 10%
.
4. Connect the BCC0ETJ M12 8-pin female connector to
the M12 8-pin male interface connector on the BIS M-
620-068-A01-00-S__. Connect the BCC0ETJ 9-pin
female D-sub connector to an RS232 COM port on the
host computer.
Tighten the cable’s two locking
thumbscrews.
5. Connect the power supply to the VDC (red) and GND
(black) wires on the BCC0ETJ cable.
6. Apply power to the Processor after all cable connections
have been made. The LEDs on the unit will flash. The
READY LED is ON whenever power is applied to the
Balluff.
7. On the host computer, set the COM port parameters to:
9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no
handshaking.
To verify operations, download the Balluff Dashboard
™
Configuration Tool from
. The Balluff
Dashboard
™ Configuration Tool allows users to configure
and control their BIS M-620-068-A01-00-S__ Processors and
send RFID commands for testing purposes.
COMPLIANCE
Only Balluff BIS M-370_ family antennas are certified for use
with the BIS M-620-068-A01- Processors.
This product is intended to be installed by Qualified
Personnel only.
This product must not be used in explosive environments.
See the BIS M-62_ processor Manual for the Declaration of
Conformity.
