The Easy Tool-ID System
4.1. System Overview
The Easy Tool-ID system is a special tool stand with RFID function. An integrated microcon-
troller can be used to read out data that is stored on an RFID data carrier, and then the data
can be forwarded to an HMI via USB. It is used primarily for identifying tools and is connect-
ed to the respective machine tools.
The microcontroller can be configured using configuration software (see Section 5) and
adapted to the input mask of the HMI. The system is therefore independent of the machine
controller and can be used on nearly all machine tools.
The Easy Tool-ID system simulates an external keyboard and handles data entry which
would otherwise need to be entered manually by the operator.
