ANT513 2 Safety instructions • 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.
ANT513 WARNING Operation of this device can cause radio interference in residential areas. w The device emits high-frequency electromagnetic waves that may interfere with the operation of electronic devices in the vicinity, including pacemakers, hearing aids and defibrillators. u Due to human exposure regulations, a minimum distance of 20 cm must be maintained between the device and persons.
ANT513 3 Intended use The read/write head reads and writes ID tags without contact. For use, the read/write head must be connected to the DTE10x evaluation unit. The data is converted into digitally coded values and provided to the evaluation unit.
ANT513 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.
ANT513 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.

ANT513 Some ID tags are not recognised by the device if an incorrect password has been saved with the IO-Link parameter [ID tag password] and - the [Auto-read data”/“Auto-write data] operating mode is used or - the [ID tag history] records the user data.
ANT513 • [ID tag history] with the setting [Auto-Read] • Operating mode [Auto-read data] or [Auto-write data] • Automatic detection of the data block size (to activate, set the ID tag type to [auto]) Use dynamic operation: u Disable the listed functions for dynamic operation.
ANT513 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.
