Introduction
Introduction
Always observe the following precautions to prevent operation failures, malfunctions, and adverse effects on
performance and equipment.
1. Installation Environment
Do not install the V680-CA1D, V680-CA2D, or V680-H01 in any of the following locations.
•Locations exposed to direct sunlight
•Locations exposed to corrosive gases, dust, metallic powder, or salts
•Locations not within the specified operating temperature range
•Locations subject to rapid changes in temperature (with no condensation)
•Locations not within the specified humidity range
•Locations subject to direct vibration or shock outside the specified ranges
2. ID Tag Installation
•The product communicates with Tags using the 13.56-MHz frequency band. Some transceivers,
motors, monitoring devices, power supplies (e.g., power supply IC), and devices in similar RFID
systems generate noise that can affect communications with the Tags. If such devices are located
near the Tags, always test operation in advance to confirm whether the system will be affected.
•Observe the following precautions to minimize the effects of normal noise.
(1) Ground all metal objects in the vicinity to 100 Ωor less.
(2) Do not use the system near high-voltage or high-current lines.
Do not install the system near radio astronomy or medical equipment, which may be adversely
affected.
3. Power Supply and Grounding
•Be sure to use the power supply voltage specified in this manual.
•Do not reverse the polarity of the power supply terminals.
•Ground the ground terminal to 100 Ωor less.
4. Wiring
•Always turn OFF the power before performing wiring or connecting/disconnecting cables.
•Do not wire the lines of the RFID System alongside high-tension lines or power lines.
•To prevent damage from static electricity, use a wrist strap or another device for preventing electro-
static charges when touching terminals or signal lines.
5. Cleaning
•Do not clean the product with thinners, benzene, or other organic solvents.

Product Overview
Example of V680-CA2D System Configuration
The V680-CA2D contains a serial interface based on RS-232C enabling connection of up to ten Control-
lers to a single host device such as a general-purpose personal computer or Programmable Controller
(PLC). The RS-485 cable can be extended up to a total length of 300 m.
When connecting the Controller and host device together using an RS-232C/485 Adapter and two-wire communica-
tions, change to receiving mode within 5 ms after the command has been completely sent to the Controller from the
host device. Otherwise, communications with the Controller may not be possible.

Product Overview
Operation Overview
An overview of the operation is described using an example of sorting containers or other objects with Tags
depending on the information contained in the Tags.
(1) When the command is sent to the Controller from the host device, the antenna waits for a Tag to
arrive.
(2) When the Tag enters the antenna's communications area, the data in the memory area specified in
the READ command is returned to the host device as a response.
(3) The host device performs processing (e.g., sorting) based on this data.

Installation Environment
Controller
The V680-CA1D and V680-CA2D Controllers are highly reliable control devices that can withstand
harsh environments. To increase the reliability of the system and ensure full functionality, however,
install the Controller according to the instructions below.
• Installation Site
Do not install the Controller in the following locations.
• Locations exposed to ambient temperatures that are not within the range between −10°C and 55°C
or where there are radical temperature changes resulting in condensation
• Locations exposed to humidity that is not within a range between 35% and 85%
• Locations subject to corrosive gas, flammable gas, dust, salt, or metal powder
• Locations that will expose the Controller to direct vibration or shock
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight
• Locations exposed to water, oil, or chemicals sprays
• Mounting in Panel
The Controller can be used at an ambient temperature range between −10°C and 55°C. Be sure to
observe the following precautions.
• Make sure that the Controller is provided with sufficient ventilation space.
• Do not install the Controller close to heaters, transformers, or large-capacity resistors that radiate
excessive heat.
• If the ambient temperature exceeds 55°C, be sure to install a forced-ventilation fan or cooler to keep
the temperature below 55°C.
• If power lines or high-tension lines with large currents (e.g., for driving motors) are located close to
the Controller, to reduce the affect of noise be sure to test the Controller thoroughly and check the
Controller's wiring conditions.
Be sure to observe the above precautions before installing the Controller and carefully test the Controller before actual
use.
