1-1 Features The Intelligent Flag III provides innovative electronic ID flags which replace con-
ventional mechanical flags and Kanbans and also improve quality control and
production process control systems. The host interface conforms to DeviceNet
(CompoBus/D), one of the global standard buses, and it can be used for
constructing a more widely applicable system.
The Intelligent Flag III is the successor to the Intelligent Flag and Intelligent Flag
II, and retains essential functions such as data reading, data writing, bit setting,
and bit clearing.
Data reading is now enabled for up to 24 bits, which is 1.5 times more than the
existing Intelligent Flag series. Data can now be written in units of either eight or
16 bits. Moreover, access addresses (00Hto FFH) for Data Carriers can now be
set from remote Masters.
A single read/write head is now equivalent to anywhere from eight to 24 sensors.
The space required for flags or Kanbans can be greatly reduced because only
one Data Carrier is required.
With the longer transmission distance of up to 100 mm, precise positioning as
required for older sensors is not necessary. Furthermore, there is no need to be
concerned about mutual interference during installation.
Since the Intelligent Flag III has no mechanical parts, such as the cylinders used
in conventional mechanical flags, there is no need to be concerned with service
life or mechanical failures.
The Intelligent Flag III is compatible with V600 Data Carriers, so it can be used
for expanding an existing line.
Sets with Amplifiers, Sensors, and Data Carriers conform to EN standards (EMC
instructions: EN50081-2, EN50082-2).

1-3 System Configuration
The Intelligent Flag III conforms to DeviceNet (CompoBus/D), an open network,
and can be connected with special-purpose connectors as a Slave. Usability has
been improved by making the Amplifiers and Sensors also connectible by one-
touch connectors.
All V600 Data Carriers can be used.
