3.6 Planning an installation location for RFID tags
Installation location for the RFID tag
Observe the following when selecting the RFID tag installation location:
● You will need at least one RFID tag for each machine operated in fail-safe mode with the
enabling button.
● The installation surface of the RFID tag must have a level foundation.
● The installation surface must be non-metallic.
When mounting on metallic base, a spacer is required.
● Select an installation location that is clearly visible for the signs of the RFID tags with an
associated ID.
Influence on communication
Note the following:
● The use of an MDS D100 directly on metal is not permitted.
Metal influences the field data and thus the communication.
● Flush installation of a MDS D100 in metal reduces the field data.
● Metallic objects must not reduce the effective range.
● A test is necessary in critical applications.
You can find more information in the manual "MOBY D, System Manual, Edition 11/2006".
Function of the RFID tag
The HMI device uses the RFID tag to log onto a machine within a protected area.
Effective range of the RFID tag
The radius of the effective range of an RFID tag is a maximum of 5 cm.
