4.3 Operating principle
The read/write heads are used for contactless data exchange with tags. For this the controller
sends commands and data via the interface to the read/write head and receives the corres-
ponding response data from the read/write head. The reading of the IDs of all RFID tags in the
read area or the writing of an RFID tag with a specific production date are examples of typical
commands. To communicate with the tag, the data of the read/write head is coded and trans-
ferred via an electromagnetic field, which at the same time supplies the tags with power.
A read/write head contains a transmitter and a receiver, an interface to the interface and a
coupling element (coil and dipole antenna) for communicating with the tag. Electromagnetic
wave propagation is used for the transmission between read/write head and tag on devices for
the UHF range.
IC
Read/write head Data carrier
UHF: electromagnetic wave
Fig.3: Operating principle of UHF-RFID
The antenna of the read/write head generates electromagnetic waves. This produces a trans-
mission window as a so-called air interface in which the data exchange with the tag takes place.
The size of the transmission window depends on the combination of read/write heads and
tags, as well as on the relevant environmental conditions.
Each read/write head can communicate with a number of tags. This requires the read/write
head and the tag to operate in the same frequency range. Depending on the power and fre-
quency used, the device ranges vary from a few millimeters up to several meters. The specified
maximum read/write distances only represent typical values under laboratory conditions
without allowing for the effect of materials. The achievable distances may vary due to compon-
ent tolerances, the mounting situation in the application, ambient conditions and the effect of
materials (particularly metal and liquids).

Product Description
Functions and operating modes
14 Hans Turck GmbH & Co. KG | T [phone] | F [phone] | [email protected] | www.turck.com
4.4 Functions and operating modes
The devices operate with an integrated or external antenna (TN-UHF-Q300…) or only with an
external antenna (TN-UHF-Q180L300…). The devices enable passive UHF tags to be read or
written in single and multitag operation. For this the devices form a transmission zone that
varies in size and range according to the tags used and the operating conditions of the
application. Refer to the data sheets for the applicable maximum read/write distances. The
devices can be fully tested, configured and parameterized from a PC using the specified
software tools.
The integrated RFID interfaces transfer data between the RFID level and the controller level.
The devices can be used as an EtherNet/IP device, Modbus TCP Turck slave, or PROFINET RT
device. The devices can also be used as masters in the Modbus TCP fieldbus system.
The device enables the execution of different commands such as Inventory (single-tag and
multitag applications), read, write and password protection. Additional functions are provided
for optimizing the speed, the self triggering of the system, as well as for backup and restore op-
erations. In every write or read cycle, up to 128 bytes can be transferred on each channel to the
controller. The data must be fragmented in order to transfer more than 128 bytes.
Sensors and actuators can be connected to the configurable digital channels. Up to four 3-wire
PNP sensors or two PNP DC actuators with a maximum output current of 0.5 A per output can
be connected. The total output current of all devices connected to the DXP channels must not
exceed max. 1 A.
The device can perform autonomous controller and diagnostics functions in order to reduce
the workload of the controller. The devices can be programmed using the IEC61131-3 compli-
ant CODESYS 3 programming software.
4.4.1 Operating frequency
The Turck UHF system uses nationally specified transmission frequencies for the communica-
tion between the tags and read/write heads. These national operating frequencies for UHF are
the frequency ranges that are individually specified by the national regulation bodies.
The operating frequency of the devices in the UHF band is for example 865…868 MHz for
Europe and 902…928 MHz for the USA. The BL ident read/write heads in the UHF band can
therefore only be used in the countries they are intended for and must not be put into opera-
tion outside of these regions. As the BL ident UHF tags do not radiate their own radio waves,
these are suitable for use worldwide.
Turck offers different tag variants that are specially designed and optimized for national fre-
quency bands in order to achieve as large a communication range as possible. Wide-band
multi-range tags for international use are also available as an alternative.
The various Turck read/write heads support the following operating frequencies:
n865…868 MHz (e.g. for Europe, Turkey and India)
n866…868 MHz (e.g. for Russia)
n902…928 MHz (e.g. for USA and Canada)
n920…925 MHz (e.g. for China and Singapore)
n902…907.5 MHz and 915...928 MHz (e.g. for Brazil)
n917…920.8 MHz (e.g. for Korea)
The relevant national 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 more detailed information please contact the regulation authorities of the country where
you wish to use the UHF RFID system.
HF RFID systems can be run parallel to UHF RFID systems in an installation.

4.4.2 Combination of UHF read/write heads and tags
The UHF read/write heads form a transmission zone for which the size depends on the combin-
ation of read/write head and tag. The listed maximum read/write distances only represent typ-
ical values under laboratory conditions without the effect of materials. The achievable dis-
tances may be different due to component tolerances, mounting location in the application,
ambient conditions and the effect of materials (particularly metal).
For this reason, the application must be tested in all cases under real conditions (particularly
with read and write operations in motion).
4.4.3 Multiprotocol function
The devices can be used in the following three Ethernet protocols:
nModbus TCP
nEtherNet/IP
nPROFINET
The Ethernet protocol used must be selected in the CODESYS project.
Manual protocol selection
The protocol must be defined manually in the CODESYS program. After that only read access to
the device is allowed with the other protocols. Manual protocol selection thus also provides an
additional permanent locking feature.
4.4.4 Data transfer to the PLC
In every write or read cycle, up to 128 bytes can be transferred on each channel. The data must
be fragmented in order to transfer more than 128 bytes. The amount of data transferred per
read or write cycle can be set as follows for different Ethernet protocols:
PROFINET EtherNet/IP Modbus TCP
n8 bytes
n16 bytes
n32 bytes
n64 bytes
n128 bytes
(default setting)
n16 bytes
n64 bytes
n128 bytes
(default setting)
n128 bytes (permanently set)
Adjustable fragment size:
n8 bytes
n16 bytes
n32 bytes
n64 bytes
n128 bytes
(default setting)
4.4.5 RFID channels – operating modes
Two different data interfaces can be selected for the RFID channels:
nUHF compact: Transfer of up to 128bytes possible, recommended for single tag applications
nUHF extended: Transfer of more than 128bytes possible, recommended for multi-tag applic-
ations

4.4.7 Loop counter function
The loop counter function is provided for rapid command processing. The loop counter func-
tion only requires two PLC cycles to execute a command repeatedly (flow chart see [}220]).
This increments the loop counter to execute a command repeatedly. At least four PLC cycles
are required in conventional command processing. In order to execute a command repeatedly
with conventional command processing, a command has to be reset and then set again. The
loop counter function is provided for special commands. If the command was successfully ex-
ecuted, the command code is output in the response data.
4.4.8 CODESYS OPC UA server
The device can exchange data with any OPC UA clients via the integrated CODESYS OPC UA
server.
The device can be connected via OPC UA to higher-level systems such as MES, ERP or Cloud
systems. The data transfer is defined according to the Micro Embedded Device Server protocol
of the OPC Foundation for supporting OPC UA in field devices. For this data transfer, the integ-
rated OPC UA server of the interface communicates with the OPC UA client of the higher-level
system.
