    In summary, planning for RFID systems should always allow for a minimum separation between the antennas. See section 4.1. Minimum separations between two RFID systems If synchronizing the systems is not possible, interference can be prevented by proper shielding. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 4 of 27 N11200-0e-ID-B.doc...
  • Page 5: Synchronizing Rfid Long Range Readers Using The Digital In-/Outputs

    The latter passes the signal to the next reader after finishing its read cycle. The last reader then passes the signal back to the Master. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 5 of 27 N11200-0e-ID-B.doc...
  • Page 6: Design Notes

    When the distances between antennas cannot be greater than 2 m, an additional shield must be installed between them. See section: 4. Possible disturbances caused by mutual interference of the RFID systems. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 6 of 27 N11200-0e-ID-B.doc...
  • Page 7: Configuring The Reader Parameters For Synchronizing

    System Manual for the ID ISC.LR200 Reader. The calculated Transponder Response Time taking into account the above conditions must be set in all readers (configuration block CFG2 Byte6+7). FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 7 of 27 N11200-0e-ID-B.doc...
  • Page 8 RFID complex which is set as the Timeout time in the reader (CFG11: Buffered Read Mode - Synchronisation-TIMEOUT). Synchronization-Timeout = (TRT + 20 ms)* number of synchronized readers. The calculated synchronization timeout is always rounded up to the next ten milliseconds. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 8 of 27 N11200-0e-ID-B.doc...
  • Page 9 The processing time or cycle time of the RFID complex and the Synchronization-Timeout to set would therefore be 3 x (110 ms + 20 ms) = 330 ms ! Summary: Set a time of 330 ms in configuration block CFG8. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 9 of 27 N11200-0e-ID-B.doc...
  • Page 10: Determining The Maximum Speed Of The Transponder In The Antenna

    Near a single loop antenna and with the transponder oriented parallel to the antenna conductor, the read zone length of the antenna corresponds to the spacing of the antenna conductors in the loop. For an ID ISC.ANT800/600 antenna mounted horizontally, this is approx. 0.80 m. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 10 of 27 N11200-0e-ID-B.doc...
  • Page 11 Fig. 2: Read zone length of the ID ISC.ANT800/600 antenna, transponder parallel to antenna = 0.8 m = 0.33 s (from Example 1) The maximum permissible traverse velocity is thus: = 0.8 m / 0.33 s = 2.42 m/s (8.7 km/h) B Max FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 11 of 27 N11200-0e-ID-B.doc...

    Jumpers J400 and J401. The cable length should not exceed 500 m. For longer cable runs (100 m or greater), the bus terminal must also be set using Jumper J403 on the last reader on the bus. FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 16 of 27 N11200-0e-ID-B.doc...
  • Page 17: Wiring The Digital In- And Outputs

    To avoid noise on the data lines, the resistors should be installed as close to Terminal X7 on the reader as possible. The data line should be a shielded, twisted-pair cable. Example: LiYCY (TP) 2x2x1.0 mm FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 17 of 27 N11200-0e-ID-B.doc...
