1 IMPORTANT NOTE This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful inteference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 4 FOUP Read/Write Station – Stand Alone, Release 1.
2 PRODUCT OVERVIEW 2.1 SA FOUP Read – Write Station The unit is composed of a RF tag reader, a barcode reader, an optical sensor, and a 240x128 pixel display with integrated touch screen (10x6 touch areas). It is used to read information from barcodes and write this information to the RF tag. Therefore a FOUP must be placed on the unit, which is detected by an optical sensor.
2.2 Component RF Tag Reader The Transponder Reader System is a high-frequency identification system that uses FM transmission. The basic item is a transponder that works as a forgery-proof electronic identity disk. The reading unit of the system sends an energy impulse via the antenna. The capacitor of the passive, battery-free transponder is charged by this impulse. After that, the transponder returns a signal with the stored data. The total reading cycle takes less than 100 ms.
3 INSTALLATION 3.1 Installation Environment This device is designed for use in an indoor industrial environment only. Installation is only permitted in an environmental indoor climate with a constant temperature of between 0°C and +50°C / 32°F and 122°F, humidity between 25% and 80%, and a maximum temperature of +50°C / 122°F. Do not install or use this device in or near water. Never spill liquids of any kind onto the device. Should spillage occur, unplug the device and have it checked by a technician.
Do not position the device in a location where it can suffer from vibration or shock. When the device is installed, the installation location must be adequately illuminated. Do not install the device during periods of lightning. Ensure the installation location complies with FCC requirements for human exposure to radio frequency. When determining the assembly location, consider the length of the antenna cable that will be used, and the reading and writing range.
4 CONNECTIONS 4.1 Power Connection Built-in male plug, plastic (power supply) PIN 1 2 3 4 5 Signal +24V 0V NC NC NC 4 5 3 1 2 The device can be connected to an interior DC power circuit or to a DC adapter. 4.2 RJ-45 Connector (Ethernet interface) The interface is used to connect the device to LAN network for update the software only. Therefore a FTP program transmits the new files to the flash memory of the station. 9 FOUP Read/Write Station – Stand Alone, Release 1.
5 APPLICATION FLOW To transfer the FOUP data from barcode label to the RF tag, the FOUP have to be placed on the unit. The optical sensor detects the FOUP and the station will be switched to operation mode. There are different modes to transfer the data from barcode to RF tag. The Manual Mode for reading the barcode and reading and writing the tag independently from each other. Automatic Mode and Full Automatic Mode are used to read the barcode and then copy the data to the tag automatically.
