Warning!
Before beginning installation work
Switch device off.
Protect device from accidentally switching it on.
Determine whether device is free of voltage.
Grounding and short-circuiting
Cover or enclose adjacent parts which remain under voltage.
The instructions provided for mounting the device must be followed.
Only personnel qualified per EN 50 110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 Section 100) are permitted to handle and
operate this device/system.
In regards to the installation, please ensure that you follow the statical discharge procedure on your
person prior to touching the device.
The function earth (FS) must be connected to the protective earth (PE) or the potential equalization.
The establishment of this connection is the responsibility of the installer.
Connection and signal cables must be installed in such a way that inductive and capacitive
interspersions may not impact the automation functions.
Automation technology equipment and their operating elements must be installed in such a way
that they are protected from accidental operation.
In order to prevent undefined states in the automation equipment caused by cable and wire
breakage on the signal side, respective safety measures must be implemented on the hardware and
software side when establishing the I/O-connection.
Please ensure the safe isolation of low voltage in connection with a 24 V supply. Use only power
supply units which meet the requirements per IEC 60 364-4-41 or rather HD 384.4.41 S2
(VDE 0100 Section 410).
Fluctuations or rather deviations of the power supply voltage from the nominal value may not
exceed tolerances listed in the technical data otherwise operating failures and dangerous situations
can not be excluded.
Emergency-Off equipment per IEC/EN 60 204-1 must remain in effect in all operating modes of the
automation equipment. Release of the Emergency-Off equipment must not cause a restart.
Built-in devices for enclosures or cabinets must only be operated and maintained when installed;
tabletop devices or portables only when the housing is closed.
Measures must be taken to ensure that an interrupted program can be restarted according to
specifications following voltage drops and failures. Here, no dangerous operating states including
brief ones must occur; if necessary force Emergency-Off.
External measures must be taken at locations where failures of the automation equipment may
cause damage to persons and property; these external measures must ensure or rather force safe
operation even when failures or interferences occur (e.g. with the help of independent limit
switches, mechanical locks, etc.).
The electrical installation must be completed according to relevant specifications (e.g.cable
diameters, fuses, connection of earth conductor).
Only qualified personnel is permitted to complete all work related to transportation, installation,
start-up and maintenance. (Adhere to IEC 60 364 or rather HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and national
accident prevention rules).
All covers and doors must be closed during operation.

2.2 Compatibility
All technical data refers to the BL ident® system, i.e. the combinations of BL ident® data carriers, read/
write heads and fieldbus modules. Different values may apply to data carriers of other vendors.
2.3 Transmission frequency
The TURCK BL ident® system operates at nationally specified transmission frequencies in the UHF range
(840...960 MHz) between the data carriers and the read/write heads. These national transmission
frequencies for UHF are specified by the relevant national regulation authorities according to the
frequency ranges individually allocated.
UHF systems in this frequency range achieve a longer read/write range than HF systems, of typically
several meters. The operating frequency of devices in the UHF band is, for example, 865...868 MHz in
Europe and 902...928 MHz in the USA. BL ident® read/write heads for the UHF band can only be used in
the specified countries and must not be put into operation outside of these regions. As BL ident® UHF
data carriers are passive devices, they do not radiate any of their own radio waves and are therefore
suitable for worldwide use.
TURCK offers data carrier variants that are specially designed and optimized for specific national
frequency bands in order to achieve as large a communication range as possible.
Alternatively broad-band multi-range data carriers are available for international use.
The various TURCK read/write heads support the following transmission frequencies:
865...868 MHz (e.g.for Europe)
902...928 MHz (e.g. for USA/Canada)
840...845 MHz and 920...925 MHz (e.g. for China)
902...907.5 MHz and 915...928 MHz (e.g. for Brazil)
917...920.8 MHz (e.g. for Korea)

These national transmission specifications for UHF such as frequency range, output and the status of
any national regulations can be obtained from the Internet at:
http://www.gs1.org/docs/epcglobal/UHF_Regulations.pdf
For further information please contact the relevant authorities in the country in which you wish to use
the UHF RFID system.
2.4 Approval of data carriers and read/write heads
The read/write heads mostly require an approval from a national regulation body, depending on the
specific national regulations (in Europe and India, however, no approval is required). A corresponding
approval of the data carriers is not required.
2.5 General information on the UHF data carriers
The UHF data carrier memory hierarchy is divided into four logical areas acc. to ISO 18000-6C (also
called domains) and can take several blocks – each block consisting of 2 bytes.
Domain 0 – reserved area: This bank includes (depending on the data carrier type) the passwords
for accessing the memory and for deactivating the data carrier. The passwords for deactivating are
stored in the memory addresses 00hex to 1Fhex. The passwords for access are stored in the memory
addresses 20hex to 3Fhex. Memory access is normally executed with special protocol commands.
Domain 1 – EPC (electronic product code) or UII (unique item identifier): This bank contains the es-
sential identification data of the transponder. The 16-bit checksum (CRC) is located in the first data
word (from address 00hex). The second data word (= 2 bytes) contains specific data carrier control
information (protocol control byte, from address 10hex). The actual data range of the UIIs starts at
address 20hex. The data carriers are identified within the BL ident® system via the first eight bytes of
the data range, i.e. from address 04hex to 0Chex.
Domain 2 – TID (tag identification): This bank contains one of three values for identifying the class
code (E0hex, E2hex or E3hex) in accordance with ISO/IEC 15963, contained in the memory addresses
00hex to 07hex. If the class ID is E0hex, the TID contains a 48-bit serial number.
The composite 64-bit data carrier ID is assigned once within all data carrier classes that are defined
in ISO/IEC 15963 and are write protected by the manufacturer. If the class ID is E2hex, the TID contains
a 12-bit data mask ID and a 12-bit data carrier model number defined by the manufacturer.
The use of memory addresses above 1Fhex is defined in the EPCglobal data standards, Version 1.5
and higher. If the class ID is E3hex, the TID contains an 8-bit manufacturer ID, followed by a 2-byte
user memory for different data lengths, the 48-bit serial number, the 1-bit XTID and the 15-bit XTID
header data. The composite 80-bit data carrier ID is assigned once within all data carrier classes that
are defined in ISO/IEC 15963 and are write protected by the manufacturer.
Domain 3 – User area: This bank is optional and contains a memory area of varying size for use as
required by the user.
Attention
Possible damage to the data carriers!
Incorrect writing to the reserved area (bank address = 00) or to the first four bytes of the UII
memory (bank address = 01) of the data carrier memory may cause the data carrier to
permanently malfunction.
