DTI515 DTI516 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.
DTI515 DTI516 3 Intended use The read/write head reads and writes ID tags without contact. The data is made available as process data via the IO-Link interface.
Operation of the unit via the IO-Link interface requires an IO-Link master. With a PC, suitable IO-Link software and an IO-Link adapter cable, communication is possible while the system is not in operation. IODD required to configure the unit is available at www.ifm.com.
DTI515 DTI516 5 Installation 5.1 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.

DTI515 DTI516 8 Parameter setting The parameters of the device are set using a software via IO-Link (for example ifm moneo configure SA). More information can be found in the IODD of the unit: www.ifm.com 8.1 Parameter 8.1.1 Data block size The memory area of an ID tag is organised in data blocks. The parameter specifies the size of a data block.
DTI515 DTI516 8.1.4 Address for automatic read/write The parameter "Address for automatic read/write" sets the start address of the memory area that is accessed in the operating modes "Auto read" and "Auto write". The address is provided in bytes. In the operating modes “Auto read" and "Auto write" the device reads and writes a specified number of data of the ID tag automatically.

DTI515 DTI516 If the ID tag remains in the detection range, the data can be written with the status bit "Cmd Start". If writing was unsuccessful, the error value is shown in the process image. The smaller the "Data Length Auto Read/Write" is set, the less time is needed for writing. That means that the dwell time of the ID tag in the detection range can be shorter.
