DTI515 DTI516 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.
DTI515 DTI516 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.
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. 3.1 Application area The device safety is rated for use under the following operating conditions: •...
DTI515 DTI516 4 Function 4.1 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.

DTI515 DTI516 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.
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 ISO 15693 ID tag is organised in data blocks. The [Data block size] parameter specifies the size of a data block.
DTI515 DTI516 Example If the data hold time is set to 500 ms, the UID is transmitted via IO-Link for at least 500 ms. This also applies if the ID tag is no longer within the range of the device.

DTI515 DTI516 9 Operation The device supports several operation modes that are selected with the command value in the process data output image: Operating mode Command value Description [Read UID] 0x00 Operating mode Read UID (Ò / 21) [Auto-read data] 0x01 Operating mode Auto read data (Ò / 22)
DTI515 DTI516 The shorter the data length set for [Auto-Read/Write Data Length], the less time is needed for reading. The time that the ID tag remains in the device’s detection range is correspondingly shorter. Byte Process data output Process data input...

DTI515 DTI516 Max. 28 bytes become defined in the process data output image (bytes 0 to 27). For memory areas with a data length of < 28 bytes the remaining data is ignored and not written to the ID tag.
DTI515 DTI516 9.5 Operating mode Read data In the [Read data] operating mode, large amounts of data can be read with a single read operation. The data is sequentially transferred from the device to the controller. Transfer data from the device to the controller: u Use the controller to set the following values in the process data output: The command value 0x03 , the address (16 bits) and the data length (16 bits).
