High-speed Processing Comparable to ON/OFF-sensor Operation

The V670 Series performs high-speed data communications with battery-free Tags. Reading and writing of Tag data can be performed at speeds allowing operation that seems like ON/OFF-sensor operation. Even in production lines for small items
with short processing times for each process, the communications time does not affect the tact time. It is also now possible to handle more data in processes where, until now, the amount of data has been limited to reduce processing time.

Reliable Reading and Writing during Operation

A short communications processing time means that data is read and written reliably without stopping the Tags. This means that reading and writing can be performed while Tags and Antennas are moving. Even in cases where Tags are mounted to moving pallets, changes to conveyance control to allow access are unnecessary. Simplified conveyance control contributes to cost reductions in installations.

* The speeds given above are the maximum movement speeds in good conditions. When designing the system, give consideration to the actual installation conditions. Also, be sure to thoroughly evaluate the operating environment before use.

Compact and Slim

The Compact Tags boast streamlined dimensions of 8 x 16 x t3.5 mm (V670-D13F01). Tags both with and without mounting holes are available to suit the application. Also, the mounting direction of the Tags can be changed to allow, for example, mounting on the top of narrow pallets or on the side of slim pallets. Using the V670-A81 Attachment makes it possible to mount Tags on metal surfaces. The Compact Antenna boasts dimensions of M18 x 43 mm (V670-H51). The Antenna is mounted with the screws of the Controller and so fine adjustment of the communications distance can be performed with ease.

Narrow Pitch Mounting

High Resistance to the Environment

The Tags and Antennas all conform to the IP67 (IEC) degree of protection. In particular, the Compact Antenna (V670-H51Q) uses a Fluoroplastic case, and also conforms to IP67g (JEM; water resistance and oil resistance). PPS resin, which is high in chemical resistance, is used in the case material for the Compact Tag (V670-D13F01/D13F01H) enabling use in harsh environments subject to chemicals, oils, and coolants.

Reduced Maintenance with No Battery or Tag Replacement

The V670 Series uses a FeRAM (ferroelectric RAM) with a service life of 1,000 million times and so there is essentially no restriction on the memory service life. Even if the memory were accessed once a second, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it
would still last more than 10 years. In production lines for miniature devices where pallets are reused with a high frequency, or in applications where data is frequently rewritten, maintenance such as battery replacement or Tag replacement is unnecessary.

Communications Control with a Broad Range of Functions

V670-series products are equipped with a wide variety of communications functions that allow host devices to easily perform communications control for the Tags. Using the auto repeat and repeat input trigger functions, repeated communications with several Tags can be performed automatically with a single command. Using the tag specification function, in cases where data is written to individual Tags or where more complex commands are used, such as applications where writing is performed after reading, consideration of the timing with which Tags enter the communications range is not required.

	Communications are performed whenever a Tag enters the communications range. Communications are performed only once with the same Tag.
	The V670 communicates only with the Tags that it communicated with previously or with the other Tags, depending on the specification.
	Each time the rising edge of the input signal is detected, the existence of a Tag is confirmed and communications are performed. If there is no Tag, an error is generated.

Simple Control with High-Speed Response Achieved with Self-execution Mode

In self-execution mode, the V670 repeats communications according to previously set conditions, discriminates data, and turns ON output accordingly. Control for simple sorting can be performed just using the Controller, without connecting a host device. The time required for exchanging commands and responses is eliminated, enabling the time from communications to result output to be significantly reduced. This makes it possible to perform control for lines and installations requiring high-speed responsiveness.
