RFU63x – compact, industrial, intelligent
Vehicle body identication in auto manufacturing Pallet detection in warehouse and distribution centers
The RFU63x sets new standards for automatic identication with RFID.
Through its combination of high-performance hardware and intelligent software,
the RFU63x is capable of solving the most demanding auto ID tasks in industrial
automation. The RFU63x fullls industry standards such as EPCglobal and
ISO/IEC 18000-6C and reads/writes to conventional passive storage media.
This ensures long-term investment security.
Thanks to the IDpro platform from SICK, the RFU63x can be easily inte-grated into
customary factory and logistics automation eldbus levels.
The SOPAS user interface makes it possible to quickly and exibly adapt the device
to the necessary application-specic tasks.
With a high output power and receiver sensitivity, greater scanning ranges can be reached. Through
the integrated anti-collision feature, several transponders located simultaneously in a eld can be
captured. The robust and industry-suitable design allows the use with forklift trucks and in indoor or
outdoor areas, among others.

Product description
The RFU63x is an ultra-high frequency
(UHF) RFID solution for industrial en-
vironments. Via integrated application
management software, the RFU63x is
able to solve common industrial applica-
tions without any external “middleware”
and can, therefore, be used as a stand-
alone solution. This is possible due to
an integrated lter and data manage-
ment system. With IDpro compatibility,
the RFU63x is easy and cost-efcient to
integrate in common industrial environ-
ments. Different options for parameter
cloning between systems (e.g., integrat-
ed MicroSD card feature) reduce main-
tenance time. The integrated feedback
LED can be used to read diagnostic or
process feedback.
At a glance
• UHF RFID read/write unit for indus-
trial applications
• With or without integrated antenna,
depending on the type (up to four
external antennas can be connected)
• Standard-compliant transponder
interface (ISO/IEC 18000-6C/EPC
G2C1)
• Supports common industrial data
interfaces and eldbuses
• MicroSD memory card for device
parameter cloning
• Several diagnostic and service op-
tions available
Your benets
• Intelligent technology allows stand-
alone usage
• Highest reading/writing performance
• Flexible integration in common indus-
trial eldbuses via IDpro compatibility
• Less maintenance time due to an
integrated cloning back-up system
using microSD memory card
• Easily adapts to application require-
ments via SOPAS parameter setting
tool
• Free usable feedback LED quickly
provides read results and diagnostic
information directly to the user
Interrogators (write /read units)
