High reading reliability:Automatic setting of theexposure time, adaptation bysegmented lighting for criticalsurfaces.

Intelligence in the sensor:Verifier system reduces datatransmission.

Flexible connection:RS-232 and Ethernet TCP/IPinterface.

Quick in the process:Object speeds of up to 7 m/s.

Compact integration:Illumination, optics, evaluationand interfaces in an industriallycompatible housing.

Easy handling:The system is configured andready for use within a fewminutes – with PC software ordirectly on the sensor.

Multicode reader type O2IThe compact all-rounder.

The compact unit is installed using thesuitable mounting set and connectedto the controller (PLC) via the processinterface.Parameter setting is done via anEthernet cable using a common PC.

Powerfulidentification.

In addition to thData Matrix codeECC200, the ifmmulticode readerhandles further2D and 1D codes.Reading is notdependent on theorientation of thcode to the sen-sor. Even dama-ged or soiledcodes are reliablidentified, even if28 % of theinformation hasbeen damaged.

Further functionsinclude the out-put of the codeposition via theprocess interfaceadjustable total

quality parame-ters, individualillumination set-tings for eachconfiguration in agroup, integratedfault memory andaccess protectionwith password.

The professionalsoftware of themulticode readertakes the highreading reliabilityof the Data Matrixcode to a newdimension.

Top choice forprice/perfor-mance:the multicodereader provideshigh functionalityand performanceat the price of asensor.

Optimumillumination.

In addition to anautomatic expo-sure setting,manual adjust-mentis also possible.Four lightingsegments can bedeactivated andactivated manu-ally. So optimumresults areachiev-ed evenwith highly re-flective metalsurfaces.

The ifm multicode reader detectsnumerous 2D and 1D codes.The standardised 2D code can beapplied in different ways: printed onpaper, engraved by laser or dot-peened onto a metal surface.

Production control for solar modulesof the company Conergy AG:the decision in favour of the multi-code reader was taken due to its highreading rate. The compact dimensionsand the integrated lighting ensureinstallation requiring only little space.

O2I in theapplication.

There is a widerange of applica-tions for the mul-ticode reader inindustry — fromproduct trackingand productioncontrol to productidentification.They are used forthe automotive

and food indus-tries, conveying,the production ofsolar installationsas well as ma-chine tools andprint machines.

The requirementsof harsh indu-strial environ-ments are met bya stable metalhousing, a widetemperaturerange and thehigh protectionrating IP 67.

The new RFIDevaluation unitDTE100 has fourantenna connec-tions, which canalternatively beused as digitalI/Os. The anten-nas are connectedvia standardisedM 12 connectors.

The standard pinassignment of theI/O connectionsensures that

common sensorsor actuators aredirectly connec-ted and poweredfrom the RFIDevalu-ation unit.

LF and HFtransponder.

In addition to LFtransponders withup to 2-Kbitmemory, theprod-uct portfo-lio of ifm electro-nic also covers HFtran-sponderswith16 Kbits as FRAMversion which canbe rewritten anunlimited numberof times.

All connections are for standard M12connectors. Current is also directlysupplied via an M12 connection.The wide range of accessories suchas Profibus connection cables andterminating resistors facilitate thesystem set-up.

UHF RFID system forworldwide use.

Efficient control of processes with RFID.

The DTE100 RFID system can beoperated with different antennas with125 KHz (LF) or 13.56 MHz (HF).

Inductive RFIDtechnology

The RFID system(Radio FrequencyIDentification)from ifm elec-tron-ic generatesan electromagne-tic field for rea-ding and writingof data.The electro-magnetic fieldemitted by theantenna inducesvoltage in thepassive ID tag(transformerprinciple).

This activates theID tag (transpon-der) which re-turns its code.Process-ing ofthe code andtransmission e.g.to the AS-Inter-face are carriedout in the read /write head.Advantage: reli-able data trans-mission indynamic readingprocesses Depen-ding onapplication,range, data volu-mes, and read /write dis-tancesdifferent

RFID frequenciesare used, e.g.125 KHz (LF),13.56 MHz (HF),868 MHz (UHF,Europe) and 913MHz (UHF, USA).
