About this Manual: This manual describes the installation and operation of the V600-series Read/Write Heads and battery- powered SRAM Data Carriers, and includes the sections described below. Please read this manual carefully and be sure you understand the information provided before attempting to install and operate the Read/Write Heads and Data Carriers.
SECTION 1 Features and System Configuration This section provides a general introduction to the V600 RFID System, including the V600-series Read/Write (R/W) Heads and Data Carriers. The V600 RFID System utilizes non-contact data transfer in which data is transmitted electromagnetically without physical contact between the devices.
Section Features Features The V600 RFID System offers powerful support to the automation of large-scale distributed control systems and multi-model small-scale production systems by means of contactless data communication. Contactless Data Data is transmitted between the Data Carrier (DC) and Read/Write (R/W) Head Transfer electromagnetically in both directions, without physical contact between the two devices.
A V600 RFID System is made up of ID Controllers, R/W Heads, and DCs. A sys- tem can be assembled to suit almost any situation with different arrangements of these components. ID Controllers and ID Sensor Units V600-CA1A/CA2A V600-CA8A/CA9A V600-CF1A V600-CB-S...

Section Data Carrier Battery Service Life With a V600-D8KR04 DC at 55°C (131°F), for example, 200 bytes of data can be accessed 3,000 times a day for 8 years or 6,500 times a day for 5 years. With a V600-D8KR12 DC at 55°C (131°F), 40 bytes of data can be accessed 2,000 times a day for 8 years or 4,500 times a day for 5 years.

Section Data Carrier Speed Calculation Method (Reference) (Unit: ms) Read/Write Lower-level transmission time Read T = 1.8N + 48.4 Write T = 4.2N + 86.5 N: Number of bytes processed Data Carrier Speed The number of bytes that can be processed using the Auto Read and Auto Write commands depends on the speed of the DC.
SECTION 4 Installation This section describes the recommended installation methods for the R/W Heads and Data Carriers (DCs), and provides details on the battery’s service life expectancy and methods to check the battery’s condition. R/W Head Installation ........... . 4-1-1 Installation Method .
Section R/W Head Installation R/W Head Installation 4-1-1 Installation Method V600-H07 R/W Head Use M4 screws and spring washers (in four places) for R/W Head installation. Tighten the screws to a torque of 0.7 to 1.2 NSm (approximately 7 to 12 kgfScm). There are no restrictions on the mounting direction or the direction of access to the DC, but if the R/W Head is to be installed near a device such as a conveyance belt, make sure there is no danger of the R/W Head being accidentally struck.
Section R/W Head Installation Note A mounting bracket is provided with the V600-H07. It is not necessary to use this bracket if a metal mounting plate larger than the 100×100 mm “footprint” of the R/W Head is used for installation. Mounting plate V600-H07 Mounting bracket...

Section R/W Head Installation When facing the same direction, V600-H07 R/W Heads should be installed at least 550 mm apart (center to center) if RD/WT commands are used, and1,200 mm apart (center to center) if auto commands are used. 550 mm min. (1,200 mm min.) 650 mm min.
Section Data Carrier Installation perpendicular. When the two are facing each other, they should be at least 300 mm apart. Proximity sensor 300 mm min. Proximity sensor 400 mm min. V600-H07 400 mm min. Proximity sensor V600-H11 R/W Head As shown in the following diagrams, a V600-H11 R/W Head should be at least 100 mm from a proximity sensor regardless of whether the two are parallel, per- pendicular, or facing each other.

Section Data Carrier Installation Mounting in a Metal The V600-D2KR16 can be either surface-mounted or flush-mounted in a metal Casing casing. If mounted as shown in the following diagrams, there will be no effect on the transmission range. Flush-mounted Surface-mounted 10 mm min.
SECTION 5 Chemical Resistance This section shows the chemicals that affect R/W Heads and Data Carriers.
Page 34
Section 5 Chemical Resistance R/W Heads and Data Carriers are constructed using both ABS resin and epoxy resin. Referring to the following charts, be sure to use only those chemicals that have no effect on the ABS or epoxy resins and avoid using those chemicals that do have an effect.
