Simpler Process Control via Read-Write Modules with IO-Link Connectivity
An OEM producer of automated conveyor systems needs a unique technology to detect the position of items as they pass through the warehouse. They also require local control of two-way conveyor diverters to guide things to their destination.
What can be the best solution?
IO-Link-enabled high-frequency (HF) read-write modules (RWMs) and RFID tags are suitable for this challenge. IO-Link-enabled RWMs can satisfy both requirements.
The features of the solution:
•Ideal communication velocity due to very rapid •data transfer in IO-Link mode
•Detection distance: up to 60mm
•M18- and M30-threaded metal housings
•Integral M12 connectors
The function of this solution:
As an item with an RFID tag passes through the warehouse, IOLink-powered high-frequency read-write modules (RWMs) monitor its position and read predefined data saved in the tag. The local logic capability enables an RWM to start a conveyor diverter, guiding the item without reference to a centralized PLC-based control system.
Operation modes of IO-Link RWMs:
IO-Link RWMs is configurable to operate in one of two discrete modes:
•IO-Link mode
•standard I/O mode (SIO mode)
Note: We can change RWMs modes either remotely, using the IO-Link protocol itself, or locally, using a pre-configured RFID tag (a Master Tag).
