Page 6: Introduction
BSG TID-05-T30-01-005 Introduction RFID-based tool identification is an ever more important topic today when it comes to opti- mizing production processes and reducing costs. Easy Tool-ID represents a cost-effective and simple solution for covering the basic functions of tool identification. Principle of tool identification using RFID All tool-relevant data is stored without contact on a data carrier embedded in the tool holder. -
Page 7: Figure 2: Basic Path Of A Tool In Production
A simple but highly effective alternative is to enter the tool data into the screen at the ma- chine automatically. Balluff has developed a solution called "Easy Tool-ID", enabling you to read tool data from the RFID chip and enter the data machine-specific into the screen at the push of a button. -
Page 8: The Easy Tool-Id System
BSG TID-05-T30-01-005 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. -

Page 12: Safety Notes
BSG TID-05-T30-01-005 The Easy Tool-ID System 4.5. Safety Notes Installation and operation Installation and operation may only be performed by trained technical personnel. Unauthorized intervention and improper use shall void warranty and liability claims. Use and testing When using the Easy Tool-ID system, you must follow the applicable safety regulations. In particu- lar, measures must be taken so that no person or object is put in danger if the identification sys- tem has a defect. -
Page 13: Balluff Standard Data Mapping
The Easy Tool-ID System 4.6. Balluff Standard Data Mapping To transfer the correct data, you need to have the Balluff standard data mapping on the pre- setter. This mapping determines the location at which the RFID data carrier stores the infor- mation and in which format it is stored. -
Page 14: Usage
BSG TID-05-T30-01-005 The Easy Tool-ID System 4.7. Usage The Easy Tool-ID system can be used once it is provided with power and connected to the HMI via USB. To do so, place a tool with RFID data carrier into the tool holder. Note Make sure that the tool has been put in the holder correctly. -
Page 15: Status Indicators
BSG TID-05-T30-01-005 The Easy Tool-ID System 4.8. Status Indicators The system's status can be indicated by the LEDs on the microcontroller. These are visible on the tool stand from the outside. There are 3 LEDs in total: • ON (blue): Once the system is connected to the HMI or a computer via USB, the blue LED lights up and stays lit. -
Page 16: Troubleshooting
Check whether the configuration was prepared according to the specifications • Verify that the data were correctly written on the RFID data carrier • Reinstall the configuration if necessary Note If none of the aforementioned measures remedies the error, Balluff Service will be happy to help you. https://www.balluff.com/local/de/support/... -
