3. Errors and Omissions
Information presented by Omron Companies has been checked and is believed to be accurate;
however, no responsibility is assumed for clerical, typographical or proofreading errors or omissions.

Introduction
Observe the following precautions to ensure safe use of the Product.
1. Installation and Storage Environment
Do not install the Product near any equipment that generates a large amount of heat (such as
heaters, transformers, and large-capacity resistors).
If multiple Reader/Writers are installed near each other, communications performance may decrease
due to mutual interference. Refer to Mutual Interference of Reader/Writers in RF Tag Installation Precautions
in Section 8 Appendices and check to make sure there is no mutual interference between Reader/
Writers.
2. Installation and Removal
Never use an AC power supply. Doing so may result in rupture.
Wire the Product correctly. Incorrect wiring may result in rupture or burning.
Connect the Ethernet Cable to a host device (e.g., Switching Hub or PLC) that supports STP and
ground the host device to 100 or less.
The communications range is adversely affected if there is any metal material around the RF Tag.
Transmission will not be possible if the front and back panels are mistakenly reversed and the Unit is
mounted to a metallic surface.

V680-D8KF67M
V680S-D2KF67M/-D8KF67M
V680S-D2KF68M/-D8KF68M
The transmission distance will be reduced when the Unit is not mounted to a metallic surface.

The maximum communications range can be obtained when the Antenna faces the RF tag directly.
When the RF tag is installed at a tilt, the communications range is reduced. Consider the effect of the
RF tag at tilt when installing the RF Tag.
Provide the mounting distances between plural RF tags to prevent them from malfunctions due to
mutual interference.
if the central axis of an antenna and RF tag shifts, a communications range will fall.
Do not touch the product immediately after usage at high temperatures, Doing so may occasionally
result in burning.
3. Application Methods
Do not bend the Cable to a bending radius of 40 mm or less. Doing so may break the wires.
If an error is detected in the Product, immediately stop operation and turn OFF the power supply.
Consult with an OMRON representative.
4. Cleaning
Do not clean the Product with paint thinner, benzene, acetone, or kerosene.
5. Disposal
Dispose of the Product as industrial waste.
Precautions for Safe Use

Introduction

2. Installation
This Product uses a frequency band of 13.56 MHz to communicate with RF Tags. Some transceivers,
motors, inverters, switch-mode power supplies, and other devices generate electrical noise that will
affect these communications. If any of these devices are located in the vicinity of the Product, they
may affect communications with RF Tags, and may possibly damage the RF Tags. Prior to using the
Product in the vicinity of any of these devices, perform a test to determine whether the Product can
be used under the resulting influence.
Connect the control signal to the positive and negative sides of the power supply.
The control signal is used to change the operation mode of the Reader/Writer.
Refer to Connector in Section 2 Names and Functions of Components for the connection methods.
p.29
Do not exceed the rated voltage range. Doing so may result in Product destruction or burning.
Tighten the mounting screws to a torque of 1.2 N·m.
Tighten the Cable connector to a torque of 0.39 to 0.49 N·m.
Mount the two-way Branch Cable with an M4 screw.
3. Application Methods
Do not drop the Product.
Do not pull on the Cables with excessive force.
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the Product.
If you use the products in an environment that will subject them to oil, confirm that the oil that is used
will not adversely affect the resins used in the products.
4. Maintenance
Perform inspections both daily and periodically.
Refer to Maintenance and Inspection in Section 7 Troubleshooting for the items to inspect.

Section 1 Features
Stable Operation
When the Reader/Writer communicates with an RF Tag, it diagnoses the communications leeway and
reports the result. You can check the communications leeway to appropriately install the Reader/Writer
and RF Tags to achieve stable operation of your OMRON RFID System.
For details, refer to Using Communication Diagnostic and the RF Analyzer in Section 2 Names and Functions of Components.
p.54
If you use the RFID System under installation conditions that provide a high communications leeway,
you can reduce communications troubles during system operation and achieve stable line operation.

Section 1 Features
Simple Connection with EtherNet/IP
The Reader/Writer communicates with the host device through EtherNet/IP. EtherNet/IP is an industrial
multi-vendor network that uses Ethernet. The EtherNet/IP specifications are open standards managed
by the ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association). EtherNet/IP is used by a wide range of industrial
devices.
Because EtherNet/IP uses standard Ethernet technology, various general-purpose Ethernet devices
can be used in the network. You can easily increase the number of Reader/Writers by using a
Switching Hub.
To connect more than one Reader/Writer, all devices must be set to a unique IP address.
EtherNet/IP has mainly the following features.
High-speed, High-capacity Data Exchange through Tag Data Links (Cyclic Communications)
The EtherNet/IP protocol supports implicit communications, which allows cyclic communications called
tag data links with EtherNet/IP devices.
Tag Data Links (Cyclic Communications) at a Specified Communications Cycle for Each
Application Regardless of the Number of Nodes
Tag data links (cyclic communications) operate at the cyclic period that is specified for each
application, regardless of the number of nodes. Data is exchanged over the network at the refresh
cycle that is set for each connection. The communications refresh cycle will not increase even if the
number of nodes is increased, i.e., the concurrency of the connection’s data is maintained.
Because the refresh cycle can be set for each connection, each application can communicate at its
ideal refresh cycle. For example, interprocess interlocks can be transferred at high speed, while the
production commands and the status information are transferred at low speed.

Section 1 System Configuration
 About the Ethernet communication abnormality
If an Ethernet network is configured into a loop as shown below, broadcast packets are accumulated in the band, and
the communication is disabled. Therefore, do not configure the Ethernet network into a loop.
When a large amount of broadcast packets or multicast packets flow into the Ethernet network, Reader/Writers may
stop its operation. Please do not send a large amount of packet. Please separate the Reader/Writers from the network
segment that broadcast or multicast packets flow.
