DTI600 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.
DTI600 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.
DTI600 4 Items supplied • Read/write head 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.
DTI600 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. A voltage is generated by induction that supplies the data carrier with energy.
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.
DTI600 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.

DTI600 6.4.3 Installation with fixing bars E80337 6.5 Mounting distances Operating mode Distance side (A) Distance front (B) For reading and writing >0.6 m >0.4 m Interference in data communication is avoided if there are no other RFID UHF devices in the vicinity. If there are other RFID UHF devices in the vicinity: u The mounting distances between the devices should be as large as possible.
DTI600 6.6 Positioning of the ID tags Fig. 2: Position the ID tag u Align the ID tag on the antenna central axis. w The distance “D” is indicated in the data sheet. ID tags are also detected on the back of the device. To avoid this:...
DTI600 7 Electrical connection The device must be connected by a qualified electrician. Device of protection class III (PC III). The electrical supply must only be made via PELV/SELV circuits. u Disconnect power before connecting the device. ATTENTION The IP rating indicated in the data sheet is only guaranteed if the M12 connectors are firmly screwed.

DTI600 9 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 9.1 Parameter 9.1.1 Data block size The memory area of an ID tag is organised in data blocks. The parameter specifies the size of a data block.
DTI600 9.1.4 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.

DTI600 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.
