and narrow-pitch mounting. Greater flexibility with mounting location and operating conditions allows use in a much wider range of applications.
High-speed Processing Comparable to ON/OFF-sensor Operation
●Auto Repeat Function
Communications are performed whenever a Tag
enters the communications range. Communications
are performed only once with the same Tag.

●Tag Specification
The V670 communicates only with the Tags that
it communicated with previously or with the other
Tags, depending on the specification.
Antenna
If the Tag specification is for different Tags, the system will wait for
the Tag not yet communicated with before performing communications.

●Repeat Input Trigger
Each time the rising edge of the input signal is detected, the
existence of a Tag is confirmed and communications are per-
formed. If there is no Tag, an error is generated.

*FeRAM: Ferroelectric RAM
The V670 Series performs high-speed data
communications with battery-free Tags. Reading
and writing of Tag data can be performed at speeds
allowing operation that seems like ON/OFF-sensor
operation. Even in production lines for small items
with short processing times for each process, the
communications time does not affect the tact time. It
is also now possible to handle more data in
processes where, until now, the amount of data has
been limited to reduce processing time.
Reliable Reading and Writing during Operation
A short communications processing time means that
data is read and written reliably without stopping the
Tags. This means that
reading and writing can be
performed while Tags and
Antennas are moving.
Even in cases where Tags
are mounted to moving
pallets, changes to con-
veyance control to allow
access are unnecessary.
Simplified conveyance
control contributes to cost
reductions in installations.
Communications Control with a Broad Range of Functions
V670-series products are equipped with a wide variety of communica-
tions functions that allow host devices to easily perform communica-
tions control for the Tags. Using the auto repeat and repeat input trig-
ger functions, repeated communications with several Tags can be per-
formed automatically with a single command. Using the tag specifica-
tion function, in cases where data
is written to individual Tags or
where more complex commands
are used, such as applications
where writing is performed after
reading, consideration of the tim-
ing with which Tags enter the
communications range is not re-
quired.
Simple Control and High-speed Response
Achieved with Self-execution Mode
In self-execution mode, the V670 repeats communications according
to previously set conditions, discriminates data, and turns ON output
accordingly. Control for simple sorting
can be performed just using the Control-
ler, without connecting a host device. The
time required for exchanging commands
and responses is eliminated, enabling the
time from communications to result out-
put to be significantly reduced. This
makes it possible to perform control for
lines and installations requiring high-
speed responsiveness.
Compact and Slim
The Compact Tags boast stream-
lined dimensions of 8 x 16 x t3.5 mm
(V670-D13F01). Tags both with and
without mounting holes are available
to suit the application. Also, the
mounting direction of the Tags can
be changed to allow, for example,
mounting on the top of narrow pallets
or on the side of slim pallets. Using
the V670-A81 Attachment makes it possible to mount Tags on
metal surfaces. The Compact Antenna boasts dimensions of M18
x 43 mm (V670-H51). The Antenna is mounted with the screws of
the Controller and so fine adjustment of the communications dis-
tance can be performed with ease.
Narrow-pitch Mounting
High Resistance to the Environment
The Tags and Antennas all conform to the IP67 (IEC) degree of
protection. In particular, the Compact Antenna (V670-H51Q)
uses a fluororesin case, and also conforms to IP67g (JEM; water
resistance and oil resistance). PPS resin, which is high in chemi-
cal resistance, is used in the case material for the Compact Tag
(V670-D13F01/D13F01H) enabling use in harsh environments
subject to chemicals, oils, and coolants.
Reduced Maintenance with No Battery or Tag Replacement
The V670 Series uses a FeRAM (ferroelectric RAM) with a serv-
ice life of 1,000 million times and so there is essentially no re-
striction on the memory service life. Even if the memory were ac-
cessed once a second, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it would
still last more than 10 years. In production lines for miniature de-
vices where pallets are reused with a high frequency, or in appli-
cations where data is frequently rewritten, maintenance such as
battery replacement or Tag replacement is unnecessary.
