Chapter 1
Introduction
RFID Definition RFID (radio frequency identification) is a method to communicate information from one point
to another point by the use of electromagnetic waves (radio waves). RFID has unique
characteristics that make it attractive for use in industrial systems.
For example, you must load a shipping carton with various goods to meet the specific
purchase order of a customer. You can fill a tag with the specific items that the customer
wants and attach the tag to the carton. Then, as the carton moves to the filling stations, each
station places the required objects into the carton. If the tag does not require an item, the
station is skipped.
Each filling station has an RFID transceiver. The transceiver reads and writes to the tag. When
the tag approaches the RFID transceiver, the transceiver reads the contents of the tag. Based
on the information that is received, the packaging process adds items (or skips this step) and
then writes to the tag that one or more items were added. The carton moves to the next filling
station.
This scenario is a common use of RFID technology. The Bulletin 58UHF product line is unique
because of its conformance to the open international standards: ISO 18000-63 standard
Type C (EPCglobal Gen2).
International Standard
Compliance
Use the EPCglobal Gen2 (ISO 18000-63) standard. This standard is for transceivers and tags
that operate within the 860…960 MHz radio frequency range. Passive tags are tags that
receive their power from the transceivers signal to function. These tags respond by
backscattering this information to the transceiver. You can use different tag options from
multiple vendors as long as the tags follow the same standard that is previously listed.
The EPCglobal Gen2 (ISO 18000-63) standard specifies the requirements for the signaling layer
of communications between transceivers and tags. This standard also specifies requirements
for the operating procedures, for commands between transceiver and tag, and for air
interference.
FCC Information (58UHF-TR-100-SR15US and 58UHF-TR-200-LR50US
Models)
Each country has their specific frequency band requirements.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
conditions:
1. This device must not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that can
cause undesired operation.

System Setup Figure 1 shows a simple RFID system. This user manual describes the setup, installation, and
programming that is required for this system to run.
Figure 1 - RFID System
Tags attach to objects that must be tracked. The tags hold important information about the
object. An RF transceiver reads and/or writes information to the tags when the tag moves
within the transmission envelope of the transceiver (dotted ellipse). The physical size of the
transceiver directly relates to the size of the transmission field. The larger the transceiver, the
longer and wider the antenna field.
The transceivers connect to a PLC through an Ethernet connection and have an external power
source.

Star Topology The star topology consists of a number of devices that connect to the central switch. When
you use this topology, only one Ethernet connection can be made to the Bulletin 58UHF
transceiver interface block.

Linear Topology The linear topology uses the embedded switching capability to form a daisy-chain style
network that has a beginning and an end. Linear topology simplifies installation and reduces
wiring and installation costs, but a break in the network disconnects all devices downstream
from the break. When you use this topology, both Ethernet connections are used. The network
connection to Link 1 or Link 2 is irreverent.
Figure 4 - Linear Topology
Device Level Ring (DLR)
Topology
A DLR network is a single-fault tolerant ring network that is intended for the interconnection of
automation devices. DLR topology can tolerate a break in the network. If a break is detected,
the signals are sent out in both directions. When you use this topology, both Ethernet
connections are used. The network connection to Link 1 (E1) or Link 2 (E2) is irreverent.
We recommend that you use no more than 50 nodes on one DLR, or linear, network. If your
application requires more than 50 nodes, we recommend that you segment the nodes into
separate, but linked, DLR networks.
Smaller networks provide:
• Better management of traffic on the network.
• Ease of maintenance.
• A lower likelihood of multiple faults.
Additionally, on a DLR network with more than 50 nodes, network recovery times from faults
are higher. The maximum cable length between devices cannot exceed 100 m (328 ft).
For more information on DLR network design and configuration, see publication ENET-AP007.

Set the Network Address Before you use the 58UHF transceiver in an EtherNet/IP™ network, configure an IP address,
subnet mask, and optional gateway address. This section describes these configuration
requirements and the procedures to provide them. Use the BootP/DHCP utility (version 2.3 or
greater), which ships with RSLogix 5000® software to set the address.
IP network addresses have a format of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. You must know what values are used
for the network. Default mode for this device is DHCP.

Set IP Address See step 1…step 7 for how to set the IP address for the 58UHF transceiver.
1. The default setting is DHCP, so the PLC cannot detect the 58UHF transceiver first.
2. Connect your PC to the 58UHF module by the Ethernet cable. Set the IP address of the
Ethernet port of your PC the same as the segment of static IP address that you want to
set (for example, 192.168.1.200).
3. Select BootP-DHCP-Tool.exe and start the program. Select Interface.
Select the IP Address of the Ethernet port of your PC that connects to the 58UHF module
and click OK.
4. The Boot DHCP window appears. After a few seconds, if the tool detects the MAC
address of the connected 58UHF module, the MAC address appears in the Discovery
History field. Select the MAC address, then click Add Relation.

Chapter 4 EtherNet/IP Addressing
5. The New Entry window appears. Set the Client IP Address the same as the Ethernet port
segment of your PC and the PLC (for example, 192.168.1.123). Click OK.
6. The new relation appears in the Entered Relation field of the Boot DHCP window. If
applied correctly, the IP address appears in the Discovered History field after a few
seconds.
a. Click the MAC address in the Entered Relations field.
b. The Disable BOOTP/DHCP button appears. Click the button; the success message
appears at in the Errors and Warnings field.

7. After you disable the BOOTP/DHCP, connect the PLC to the 58UHF module via the
Ethernet port. Open the RSLinx® window, right-click the PLC Ethernet, select Properties,
and add the static IP address of the 58UHF module.
If the IP address of the Ethernet port is the same segment (for example, 192.168.1.123),
you see the 58UHF module icon.
