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.

5 Function

5.1 ID tags

The 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.

The device supports ID tags according to ISO 15693.

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.

6.2 Avoiding interference

The device generates a modulated electrical field with a frequency of 13.56 MHz.

Avoid interference with data communication:

▶ Do not operate any devices in the vicinity that use the same frequency band.
▷ Such devices are for example frequency converters and switched-mode power supplies.

If there are other devices in the same frequency band in the vicinity:

▶ The mounting distances between the devices should be as large as possible.
▶ Use the devices in alternating operation.
▶ Switch the HF field of the device on/off.

9 Operation

9.1 J1939 interface

The RFID read/write heads have a standardised SAE J1939 interface. All measured values and parameters can be accessed via the J1939 protocol. The individual configuration can be saved in the internal permanent memory.

Structure of the SAE J1939 protocol

The SAE J1939 protocol uses a 29-bit CAN identifier (extended frame format CAN 2.0B). A J1939 message has the following structure:

J1939 message
29-bit CAN identifier			Data
Priority	Parameter Group Number (PGN)	Source address	User data of the message
28...26	25...8	7...0	0...8 bytes

Parameter Group Number (PGN)
Ext. Data Page	Data Page	PDU Format (PF)	Target address / group extension (PS)
25	24	23...16	15...8

PDU format 1 (specific)
00h - EFh	Target Address (DA)
23...16	15...8

PDU format 2 (global)
F0h - FFh	Group Extension (GE)
23...16	15...8

PDU format 1

This format defines a message which is sent to a defined device. In this case the PDU-specific byte (PS) is the target address (DA) of the device. If the value of the PDU format field (PF) is between 0x00 and 0xEF, it is a PDU format 1 message.

For proprietary messages (manufacturer-specific) the PDU format value 0xEF is defined.

Ext. data page bit = 0 and data page bit = 0.

PDU format 2

This format defines a message which is sent globally. In this case the PDU specific byte (PS) corresponds to the group extension (GE). If the value of the PDU format field (PF) is between 0xF0 and 0xFF, it is a PDU format 2 message.

For proprietary messages (manufacturer-specific) the area PDU format (PF) and group extension (GE) 0xFF00 - 0xFFFF is defined.

Ext. data page bit = 0 and data page bit = 0.

9.1.1 Proprietary protocol in PDU format 1

The parameters of the device are listed in a table that is accessed per 16-bit index. To access the sensor parameters in reading or writing the proprietary PDU format 1 message is used. PDU format (PF) corresponds to the value 0xEF. In this case the PDU-specific byte (PS) is the target address (DA) of the device which is to receive the message. If more than 4 bytes are transferred, the J1939 transport protocol must be used.

Address control unit / master: 0x14

9.4 ID tag data access

9.4.1 Read data from ID tag

The data is read by the ID tag by sending a "read parameter" frame with the following information:

• Data address
• Data length

CAN identifier	8-byte data frame
ID29 bits	Parameter index2 bytes		Read/Write1 byte	Status1 byte	ID tagData address		ID tagData length
	0x01	0xA0	0x00	0x00	LSB	MSB	LSB	MSB

Example

Read 8 bytes of data from ID tag address 4.

Requirement: Master → ECU

CAN identifier	8-byte data frame
0CEFEB14	0x01	0xA0	0x00	0x00	0x04	0x00	0x08	0x00

Response: Master ← ECU

CAN identifier	8-byte data frame
0xCEF14EB	0x01	0xA0	0x00	0x00	Data[0]	Data[1]	Data[2]	...

For successful reading and writing, the ID tag must be in the detection range of the read/write head. In the event of data read and write errors, the status byte responds with 0x0B.

9.4.2 Write data to ID tag

The data is written to the ID tag by sending a "write parameter" frame with the following information:

• Data address
• Data length
• Data

CAN identifier	x-byte data frame

	0x01	0xA0	0x00	0x00	LSB	MSB	LSB	MSB	Data[0]	Data[x]

Example

Write 4 bytes of data (0xAA,0xBB,0xCC,0xDD) to ID tag address 2.

For successful reading and writing, the ID tag must be in the detection range of the read/write head. In the event of data read and write errors, the status byte responds with 0x0B.

9.5 Settings

9.5.1 Device address (0x2000) and baud rate (0x2001)

Valid values for the device address are: 0 to 253.

Preferably use the preset device address. Via "address claiming" the device address can be changed. Valid values for the baud rate are: 250 kBits/s, 500 kBits/s.

Default settings of the device:

▷ Device address (ECU): 235

▷ Baud rate: 250 kBits/s

Use the set device address only once in the CAN network.

▶ Use “address claiming” in the CAN network to avoid conflicts. (→ Address claiming ☐ 20)

Only after resetting the read/write head will a changed device address and baud rate become effective.

▶ Reset the read/write head with the reset command or hardware reset. (→ Reset read/write head ☐ 20)

9.5.2 Address claiming

The read/write head supports "dynamic address claiming".

By default, the device address is 235. With the device address, the sensor logs in to the network during start-up. Unless there is an address conflict with other network participants, the sensor starts communication automatically.

Arbitrary address capable (CA)

If the set address of the device is already used in the network, the participant with a higher priority will be accepted by the network. The rejected network participant with a lower priority will be assigned another valid device address.

9.5.3 Reset read/write head

By writing the value "1" to the parameter index 0x2002 the read/write head is reset.

After writing the value, the read/write head is reset immediately. No response frame is sent from the read/write head.

10 Maintenance, repair and disposal

The unit is maintenance-free.

▶ Contact ifm in case of malfunction.
▶ Do not open the housing as the unit does not contain any components which can be maintained by the user. The unit must only be repaired by the manufacturer.
▶ Clean the device using a dry cloth.
▶ Dispose of the unit in accordance with the national environmental regulations.

ID tag

An ID tag is used to identify objects. A read/write device is used to read the ID tag via a high-frequency radio signal. An ID tag consists of an antenna, an analogue circuit for receiving and transmitting (transceiver), a digital circuit and a non-volatile memory.
