Product Description

The Allen-Bradley 56RF-TR-4040 is a high-frequency RFID Transceiver, also known as an RFID antenna. It is a key component of an RFID system, responsible for reading data from and writing data to RFID tags. This specific model is part of the Bulletin 56RF family, designed for use with compatible RFID interface blocks (like the 56RF-IN-IPS12 you asked about previously).

Product Specifications

• Manufacturer: Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation)
• Part Number Breakdown:
  • 56RF: The Bulletin series for high-frequency (HF) 13.56 MHz RFID systems.
  • TR: Denotes that the device is a Transceiver (antenna).
  • 4040: Indicates the dimensions of the transceiver’s face, which is 40 mm x 40 mm.
• RFID Frequency: 13.56 MHz (High Frequency). This is the operating frequency for communication with compatible RFID tags.
• Protocol: It supports communication with ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 M1 standard tags.
• Antenna Type: Integrated, square antenna.
• Enclosure Rating: IP67 and IP69K. This means the transceiver is fully protected from dust and can withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial and sanitary environments.
• Operating Voltage: 24V DC.
• Connectivity: It connects to an RFID interface block via an M12 connector.
• Detection Range: The read/write distance is typically a few centimeters, depending on the type of tag used and environmental factors.

Product Advantages

• Compact Size: The small 40 mm x 40 mm footprint allows for easy integration into tight spaces on machinery, conveyor systems, or assembly fixtures where larger antennas would not fit.
• Durable and Reliable: The IP67 and IP69K ratings ensure the transceiver can be mounted directly on the machine in harsh industrial conditions, including areas that are frequently washed down or exposed to debris.
• High-Frequency Performance: The 13.56 MHz frequency is excellent for applications requiring reliable, short-range read/write operations, which is common in manufacturing for part tracking and quality control.
• Standardized Protocol Support: The support for common ISO standards (ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3) ensures compatibility with a wide range of commercially available RFID tags, offering flexibility in tag selection.

Precautions

• Mounting and Placement: The transceiver’s performance is sensitive to its surroundings. It’s crucial to avoid mounting it near metal objects, as they can interfere with the RFID signal and reduce the read/write range. Maintain a minimum distance from other metallic parts as specified in the product’s manual.
• Cable and Connector: Use the correct M12 cable and ensure the connection is secure. A damaged or improperly connected cable can lead to communication errors.
• Environmental Factors: While the device is durable, extreme temperatures or sources of strong electromagnetic interference can affect its performance.
• System Compatibility: This transceiver is designed to work as part of an Allen-Bradley RFID system. It must be paired with a compatible 56RF-IN interface block for proper operation and communication with a PLC.

Product Applications

The 56RF-TR-4040 transceiver is primarily used in industrial automation for close-proximity RFID applications.

• Tooling and Fixture Identification: A robotic arm can read a tag on a tool to verify it’s the correct one for the job before beginning an operation.
• Assembly Line Tracking: A product or part on a conveyor belt can be identified at various stations to ensure all steps of the manufacturing process are completed in the correct order.
• Work-in-Progress (WIP) Tracking: Tags on a product carrier or pallet are read to track its location and progress through a factory.
• Quality Control: At inspection stations, the transceiver can verify that a product has passed all previous quality checks before moving to the next stage.
