DTM426 DTM427 2 Safety instructions General • The unit described is a subcomponent for integration into a system. – The system architect is responsible for the safety of the system. – The system architect undertakes to perform a risk assessment and to create documentation in accordance with legal and normative requirements to be provided to the operator and user of the system.
DTM426 DTM427 3 Intended use The read/write head reads and writes ID tags without contact. The data is made available as process data via the CAN-bus interface.
DTM426 DTM427 4 Items supplied • Read/write head • 2x hexagonal nut The device is supplied without installation and connection accessories. Available accessories: www.ifm.com. The optimum function is not ensured when using components from other manufacturers.
DTM426 DTM427 5 Function 5.1 ID tags ID tags are passively operated without a battery. The energy required for operation is provided by the read/write head. The energy is provided via an inductive coupling. The integrated antenna coil in the read/write head generates a magnetic field which partly penetrates the antenna coil of the ID tag.
DTM426 DTM427 6 Installation 6.1 Notes on the unit installation When mounting several RFID units adhere to the minimum distances between the systems. Flush mounting of a read/write head in metal reduces the read/write distance. Device performance can be affected if positioned in the immediate vicinity of powerful HF emission sources such as welding transformers or converters.
DTM426 DTM427 DTM427 Operating mode Distance side (A) Distance front (B) For reading and writing ≥ 65 mm ≥ 180 mm 6.6 Positioning of the ID tags The sensing face marks the centre of the integrated antenna coil of the read/write head.

DTM426 DTM427 9 Operation 9.1 J1939 interface The RFID read/write heads have a standardised SAE J1939 interface. All measured values and parameters can be accessed via the J1939 protocol. The individual configuration can be saved in the internal permanent memory. Structure of the SAE J1939 protocol The SAE J1939 protocol uses a 29-bit CAN identifier (extended frame format CAN 2.0B).
DTM426 DTM427 9.1.1 Proprietary protocol in PDU format 1 The parameters of the device are listed in a table that is accessed per 16-bit index. To access the sensor parameters in reading or writing the proprietary PDU format 1 message is used. PDU format (PF) corresponds to the value 0xEF.
