  1. TURCK–RFID for industrial Applications

  2. -Team René Steiner Thorsten Enthöfer Patrick Bosselmann Walter Hein Productspecialist Produktmanager Business Development Manager

  3. Evaluation of different technologies • 2D-Code has advantages vs. Barcode • RFID has big advantages vs. 2D-Code and Barcode • Disadvantage: higher price • Advantage: enhanced functions, performance and efficiency Quelle: FrauenhoferIML􀂉

  4. General advantages of RFID • Long life span in continous use and almost maintenance-free readers and/or tags • transponders can be used also into rough environments (water, dirt, dust)/depending to frequency • Line of sight connection is not necessary, the identification is working also through doors, walls, glass and such a thing. With metallic articles special conditionshave to be considered • The identification system can hardly be manipulated • RFID systems can be rewritten and reprogrammed, in order to the new application

  5. Comparison RFID vs. Barcode

  6. RFID in industrial environments Average field interferences vs. frequency possible industrial interferences from engines, drives etc.

  7. RFID – Frequencies • LF: 100...135 kHz (depending on countries/regions) • HF: 13,56 MHz • UHF (1): 433 MHz • UHF (2): 840...955 MHz (depending on countries/regions) • UHF (3): 2400...2483 MHz (“Microwave”) Air interfaces with different working frequencies possible: Th application defines the working frequency!

  18. System overview

  19. Interface modules • If modularity, flexibility, and extension is important: • Up to16-channels in protection degree IP67 or IP20 • For use without protection (IP67) or in cubicles (IP20) • Plug in connectors (IP67) or screw/cage clamp connection (IP20) for interconnection of field bus, power supply and R-W-H • LED-indication of status und diagnose • For space limited integrations: • 2-channels, compact & fix • For use without protection (IP67) • Plug in connectors for interconnection of field bus, power supply and R-W-H • LED-indication of status und diagnose

  20. Interface modules • A-Module • 16kByte memory/channel for managing high amount of data • Storage of R-W-Commands in the module to reduce processing time • Use of the by the PNO standardized PIB (Proxy- Ident - Function block) for easy integration in PROFIBUS-DPV1 networks • Handling of up to 32kByte data • S-Module • For R-W-Commands of up to 8 Bytes / execution, e.g. if only the UID is required • Easy integration in any kind of network because the data are handled as I/O data • Fastest processing time because of minimal complexity

  21. PLC PIB* PIB PIB PLC PIB* BLident – flexibilitiy in integration Interface - two solutions so far • Standard Gateway with functionblock (PIB) in the PLC • Siemens S7 – DPV0 • Siemens S7 – DPV1 • Progammable Gateway with functionblock (PIB) in the Gateway

  22. BLident – flexibilitiy in integration • Functionblock (PIB) for PLC

  23. PIB PIB PLC BLident – flexibilitiy in integration Interface - Simple Solution • RFID-Simple-Modul will be detected as an I/O-Modul! • Simple I/O-Communication, 8-Bytes-In and 8-Bytes-Out Data • No functionblock needed, neither in the PLC nor in the Gateway! Advantage: BLident can be used independently of the PLC which the customer might be using!

  24. BLident – flexibilitiy in integration • New Products: 2RFID-S (Mapping)

  25. HF data carriers

  26. UHF data carriers * • Solid housing: • Specific for each major frequency band (region-selective) • High protection classes IP67/68 • For rugged applications, even outdoors • 3 different housing styles • Direct on-metal application possible* • EPCglobal Gen 2 communications protocol • max. 64 byte user memory • List prices between 8 € and 25 € • Smart Labels: • Not region-specific (wideband UHF-RFID) • Customized print possible • EPCglobal Gen 2 communications protocol • max. 64 byte user memory • List price about 0,38 € or less

  27. HF Read-Write-Heads

  28. UHF – Read-Write-Heads • Special features • Typically 3 m range of air communication • Integrated diagnosis LEDs to display the quality of the air interface communications • Output power configurable to adjust range of communication • Based on EPCglobal Gen 2 standard communication protocol • Common features with HF: • Active, i.e. antenna and electronics in one housing • Protection class IP67 • Read and write „on-the-fly“

  29. UHF for industrial applications, summary Interface modules for most common field busses and Ethernet derivates Data carriers in robust IP 67 versions Data cables with integrated power supply Active R-W-H with integrated diagnostic indication in IP67

  30. HF and UHF in parallel use • HF (13,56 MHz) and UHF (865…928 MHz) connected to the same IM! • The R-W-H defines the frequency! • Mix possible! • Available SPS 2010 HF UHF

  31. Summary system properties • Robust, safe, and trouble-free function • By degree of protection IP67 and active antennas • Safe investment and interoperable • By using the Standards ISO 15693 (HF) and ISO 18000-6C/Gen 2 (UHF) • Simple integration and extension by modularity • Up to 16-channel interfaces • Flexibility by mixing HF and UHF • one interface module for both frequencies • High variety of interfaces resulting in easy integration • PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, CANopen, Ethernet Modbus-TCP, PROFINET IO, EtherNet/IP • Fast processing • By programmable Gateways with SPS-Funktionality • Easy extension to Remote I/O • By adding I/O and interface moduls

  32. TURCK Ray Tracer • A software tool simulates the application of UHF systems considering the actual customer‘s operating conditions. • The RFID application, i.e. the selection of system components and the installation parameters will be checked considering the conditions of the environment, respectively. • Very high conformity of the simulation predictions with the system performance in reality yields reliability when planning an UHF RFID installation.

  33. antenna of r/w head UHF area of coverage RFID antenna coverage • Technically speaking: Ray Tracing determines the UHF-RFID areas of coverage • Coverage highly depends on the surrounding environment! • Advantage of computer simulation: Planning, adjusting and optimizing an UHF system considering the application conditions at the customer, before the actual on-site testing and rollout are initiated

  34. Simulation of coverage for UHF P [dBm] • Computer calculation, based on ray tracing algorithms • Propagation of electromagnetic fields, emitting from the read-write-head

  35. Simulation of coverage for UHF P [dBm] • The size and area of coverage of the RFID transmission zone depend from obstacles in the environment and the properties of the read-write-head and the tag. • Advantage: Adjusting and configuring the UHF system to on-site application conditions prior to roll-out.

  36. TURCK Ray Tracer • Operation of the software will be limited to trained TURCK personnel only. • Decentralized operation in different TURCK braches desired to support UHF system integrations close to on-location. • Central coordination, software maintenance and updates from TURCK Mülheim. • Plans for further development of Ray Tracer for easier use.
