2.1 Intended use
The RFU630-131xx read/write device is an intelligent SICK 4Dpro sensor from the
RFU63x product family. The device is used for the automated, fixed identification
of wireless-based data cards on moving or stationary objects and their manage‐
ment.
As a compact reading/writing unit, the RFU630-131xx has an internal antenna
and the option of connecting up to 3 additional external antennas. It processes all
standard passive transponders in accordance with ISO/IEC 18000-6C and
EPCglobal UHF C1G2 in the regional UHF carrier frequency range. Thanks to its
intelligent process logic it can be used either as a stand-alone solution or as part
of a group in a network. The RFU630-131 xx sends the read results to a higher-
level computer for further processing via its host interface. Or it receives com‐
mands for data card management (write, read, etc.) via this interface.
Intended use also includes compliance with all information in this Quickstart and
the supplementary RFU63x/65x RFID read/write device (UHF) operating instruc‐
tions.

•No electrically conductive material between transponder and RFU630.
3.4 Mounting the RFU630
1. Select a suitable mounting location for the RFU630. The mounting location
and position depend on the antenna fields of the RFU630 and/or the exter‐
nal antennas and the transponders used.
2. Optional: Attach the separately ordered SICK mounting accessories to the
RFU630.
Otherwise, mount the RFU630 on the bracket provided by the customer
using the enclosed 4 or 3 screws. Screw the M6 screws max. 11 mm,
M5 max. 8 mm into the blind tapped holes. see Device layout, page 4.
3. Align the surface of the integrated antenna of the RFU630 (front face) and,
where applicable, the additional external antennas, to the data card on the
object. While doing so, take into account the shape, alignment, and dimen‐
sions of the antenna fields. Avoid as far as possible any large metal surfaces
positioned to the front. If this is not possible, do not mount the antenna(s)
plane parallel with the surface.

4. Ensure that there are none of the following possible interference factors
between the RFU630 and the transponder during the write or read process:
°Electrically conductive material (e.g. liquids)
°persons
This also applies for any external antennas used.
The interference factors will absorb or reflect the generated UHF field and
thereby reduce the sensing range.

Measured antenna gain in dBic at 866.5 MHz, RHCP (right-hand circularly polar‐
ized)
1Horizontal plane (azimuth)
2Vertical plane (elevation)
The UHF field of the antenna(s) is influenced by its environment, making it impos‐
sible to provide a “clear” demarcation of the sensing range. Application-specific
reflections can result in both overreaches and “holes”. In addition to the read
results, the RFU630 can also output diagnostic data that provide an indication of
the write and read quality. This data can be used to achieve optimum read results
when setting up the system.
The quality of the transponder and the material of the object (plastic, wood,
metal, etc.) also determine the sensing range. The quality of the transponder is
determined by the antenna gain, the integrated transponder chip and the related
sensitivity, and the reflected energy.
The radiation pattern shown here for the internal antenna of the RFU630 was
obtained in a reproducible environment (absorber chamber) for illustrative pur‐
poses. The diagram may therefore only have limited applicability to your specific
application.
3.5 Mounting the CDB650-204 connection module
bMount the CDB650-204 connection module in the vicinity of the device.
When using the serial data interfaces (RS-232), the recommended length of
cable between the devices is max. 5 m.
Mount the CDB650-204 in such a way that the device can be accessed at all
times, see the CDB650-204 connection module operating instructions.
4 Electrical installation
•The electrical installation must only be performed by electrically qualified persons.
•Standard safety requirements must be met when working on electrical systems.
•Electrical connections between the RFU630 and other devices may only be
made or separated when there is no power to the system. Otherwise, there is
a risk of damaging the devices.
•In the case of open end connecting or extension cables, make sure that bare
wire ends do not touch. This creates a risk of short-circuits if the supply volt‐
age is switched on. Wires must be appropriately insulated from each other.
•The wire cross-sections in the supply cable from the user’s power system
must be selected in accordance with the applicable national standards.
•All circuits connected to the device must be designed as SELV circuits.
Supply voltage
•Supply voltage DC 18 V to 30 V:
°When the device is connected to the optional SICK CDB650-204 or
CDM420-0006 connection module using a SICK cable.
°When the device is operated without a connection module using a SICK
cable. 2 A fuse protection at the start of the feeding supply circuit.
•Optional 12 V to 30 V DC supply voltage when the device is operated without
a connection module using SICK supply cable part no. 6048319
(2 x 0.25 mm2, 10 m). 2.5 A fuse protection.
•The voltage supply via a power supply unit must be capable of buffering a
brief power failure of 20 ms.
•The voltage supply or power supply unit must satisfy SELV requirements in
accordance with the currently applicable EN 60950-1. (SELV = Safety Extra
Low Voltage).
Required input voltage on connection module
Voltage drops in the supply circuit affect the connection cable from the connec‐
tion module (CDB650-204 or CDM420-0006) to the device (decrease dependent
on the length) as well as – to a certain extent – the connection module itself. In
order to compensate for this loss when operating the device at the lower end of
the supply range (18 V DC), the following, higher input voltage must be applied to
the connection module:
Cable-dependent input voltages
Cable part no. 6052286 6051194 6051195
Length of cable 2 m 3 m 5 m
CDB650-204 input voltage 19.0 V 19.5 V 20.3 V
Device input voltage 18.0 V 18.0 V 18.0 V
Cable voltage drop 1.0 V 1.5 V 2.3 V
1) Wire cross-section for supply voltage: 0.14 mm2, AWG 25/26
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage caused by electrical current!
As a result of equipotential bonding currents between the device and other
grounded devices in the system, faulty grounding of the device can give rise
to the following dangers and faults:
•Dangerous voltages are applied to the metal housings.
•Devices will behave incorrectly or be destroyed.
•Cable shielding will be damaged by overheating and cause cable fires.
Remedial measures
•Only skilled electricians should be permitted to carry out work on the
electrical system.
•If the cable insulation is damaged, disconnect the voltage supply imme‐
diately and have the damage repaired.
•Ensure that the ground potential is the same at all grounding points.
•Where local conditions do not meet the requirements for a safe earthing
method, take appropriate measures (e.g., ensuring low-impedance and
current-carrying equipotential bonding).
For measures for eliminating hazards, see the “Electrical installation” chapter in
the RFU63x/65x RFID read/write device (UHF) operating instructions in the Inter‐
net at: www.sick.com/RFU63x.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the device due to possible short-circuit!
The supply voltage input for the device is designed with internal circuit protec‐
tion to provide reverse polarity protection. The internal functional earth, which
also corresponds to the negative pole of the supply voltage for the device, is
connected directly to the metal housing of the device due to reasons relating
to high frequency.
If the supply voltage is polarity-reversed, this will not cause any damage pro‐
vided that the following conditions are met for the device:
The device is not connected in an electrically conductive manner, either via
other cables or via its housing, to other peripheral devices which use the
same reference potential.
NOTE
The USB interface of the device is used in industrial environments only as a
service interface for temporary use (e.g. for configuration, troubleshooting).
Permanent use in real operation of the system as a host interface is not
intended.

6.3 microSD memory card (optional accessory)
Function
The device can execute the following functions on the plug-in memory card:
•Automated, additional storage of the internal parameter set to an external
storage medium (cloning function), if available. This is done in the framework
of the recommended safety concept for the 4Dpro device parameter sets.
The function is triggered by saving the internal parameter set with the “per‐
manent” option. The function is used, among other things, to conveniently
transmit the parameter set to an exchange unit of the same type in the event
of an error. Optional external media include a memory card which can be
plugged into the device or the CMC600 parameter storage module, which
can be used in the optional connection module, e.g., CDB650-204 or
CDM420-0006.
•Continuous recording of diagnostic read data after the first manual start,
e.g., via SOPAS ET. Recording is resumed after a device restart when the
function is set permanently.
The first time a parameter set is stored, we recommend that an empty memory
card is used (if necessary, check and delete the contents of the card on the PC
using a card reader).
The memory card is not included with delivery.
Only use types approved by SICK to ensure reliable function of the memory card,
see www.sick.com/RFU63x. The memory card has no write protection that can be
activated.

6. Once it is switched on, the device automatically detects the presence of a
memory card and, depending on the card’s content, behaves as follows:
°If the card is empty or if it contains a parameter set that cannot be
interpreted by the device, the device saves its currently valid internal
parameter set to the card (provided there is sufficient storage space)
and starts with the internal parameter set.
°If the card contains a parameter set that can be interpreted by the
device, the device overwrites the currently valid internal parameter set
with this external parameter set.
The goal is for the internal parameter set and the parameter set saved
externally to always be identical.
NOTICE
Possible data loss or irreparable damage to the memory card!
The “microSD” LED lights up green when a memory card which is ready for
operation is inserted into the device. In this state, the device can either read
data from the card or write data to the card. Access to the card itself is not
signaled by the device (compare electronic camera with memory card).
The “microSD” LED lights up yellow when, for example, a function which
requires a memory card has been started manually with SOPAS ET and the
card is not ready for operation (e.g., not inserted, contacts are contaminated,
or no free storage space).
bTo avoid damaging the memory card, make sure there is no power to the
device when you insert or remove it.
bIf parameter values are changed with the “permanent” option in the
device using the SOPAS ET configuration software while the memory
card is inserted or if functions are started which access the memory
card (e.g., logging of data), do not remove the memory card and do not
switch off the supply voltage.
bIn order to remove the memory card in a controlled manner while work‐
ing with SOPAS ET when the device is switched on, select the Remove SD
card function under Analysis/SD card and wait for confirmation from
SOPAS ET.
7 Maintenance and care
The device does not contain any components that require maintenance.
If they are contaminated (e.g., metal dust), clean the front plates of the exter‐
nal antennas carefully using a soft, damp cloth (with a mild cleaning agent)
in order to achieve the full read and write speed.
8 Transport and storage
Transport and store the device in the original packaging, with protective plugs and
caps completely screwed-on. Do not store outdoors. To ensure that any residual
moisture present can escape, do not store the device in airtight containers. Do
not expose to any aggressive substances.
Storage conditions: Dry, dust-free, no direct sunlight, as little vibration as possi‐
ble, storage temperature –30 °C to +70 °C, relative humidity max. 90% (non-con‐
densing).
9 Repairs
Repair work on the device may only be performed by qualified and authorized ser‐
vice personnel from SICK AG.
10 Disassembly and disposal
Any device which can no longer be used must be disposed of in an environmen‐
tally friendly manner in accordance with the applicable country-specific waste dis‐
posal regulations. As it is categorized as electronic waste, the device must never
be disposed of with household waste!
