Safety Information
2.2
Intended use
The RFH620 RFID device is an intelligent sensor for the automatic recognition and
decoding of 13.56 MHz, ISO 15693 compliant RFID transponder signals e.g. placed on
objects in a conveyor system.
The RFID device enable the bi-directional communication with a host for, e.g., further
processing.
The intended use of the RFID device results from the following description of the
function:
¾
In a reading station/situation the RFH620 could be installed in a holder, either on
the side of a conveyor system (side reading) or under it (reading from below)
¾
In a writing station/situation the RFH620 gets the date to be written from the host
system
¾
The LED’s in the front antenna panel could be switch by either the system
depending on the reading result or by the host via command language.
¾
The RFID device transfers the reading data via the host interface to a superordinate
host computer for further processing.
¾
The RFH620 could be configured/operated using the SOPAS-ET configuration
software that runs on a standard client PC provided by the customer or via
command language. Communication takes place using RS-232 or Ethernet.
Any warranty claims against SICK AG shall be deemed invalid in the case changes to
the RFH620, such as opening the housing, this includes modifications during
installation and electrical installation or changes to the SICK software.
