Sick RFU620 UHF RFID read/write device

Click2Contact

The Sick RFU620 UHF RFID read/write unit offers a solution for the identification of containers, boxes or the correct aisle. It supports universal use even in extreme applications such as on stackers and in deep-freeze stores, or simply as a Kanban station.

The device is suitable for medium ranges and limited installation space. Numerous filter functions and a range of connection variants enable the creation of versatile identification solutions.

Like the RFU630, the device operates within a frequency range of 860-960 MHz. Unlike this device, however, it is optimised for applications in which UHF transponders meeting the worldwide ISO/IEC standards must be reliably identified at medium ranges and in close physical proximity to one another. The SOPAS user interface offers tools for rapid, flexible and simple integration.

The device is suitable for container and storage space identification in intralogistics. The compact housing is particularly useful on forklifts as the read/write unit offers a space-saving location between the lifting forks.

The interface and fieldbus standards common in these sectors (including RS232/422, Ethernet TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, CANopen, Profibus DP and Profinet IO) are supplemented with the integration option of Power over Ethernet (PoE). There is therefore no need for an additional power supply when setting up, for example, simple RFID Kanban stations.

The device is ready for operation with a single cable connection to a PoE network. In information terms, it also offers the familiar amount of future orientation - particularly as the read/write device is compatible with IDpro, the company’s cross-technology platform and portfolio strategy for auto-ID system solutions.

The Sick visualisation platform detects and stores all the captured data in a database and offers comprehensive search and statistical functions for their evaluation.
