1 Capacitive proximity switches

2 Capacitive proximity switches Introduction Capacitive proximity switches are used in machines, installations and vehicles for monitoring the levels of liquids, pastes and bulk material. These materials can even be detected through non-metallic dividing walls. In addition, capacitive proximity switches are suitable as limit switches, contact-free position switches, for monitoring and positioning, as pulse generators for counting purposes, distance and speed measurement, and much more. Operating principle The electrodes at the device s sensing face permit the sensor to detect the dielectric conditions in its close surroundings. Depending on the distance between the target (or material) to be detected and the capacitive proximity switch, the capacitance in the measuring zone changes. The capacitance is dependent not only on the above-mentioned distance, but also on the dielectric constant (e r ) of the target, as well as its shape. As the proximity switch approaches the target, the capacitance increases. When the set threshold value is reached, the transistor-oscillator is activated. By means of the built-in electronics, a changeable, electrical current is generated which, depending on the execution of the device, is available as a linear current signal or as a binary voltage at the output. Using capacitive proximity switches, electronic circuits and PLCs, as well as relays or contactors can be controlled directly. Capacitive proximity switches are enclosed in synthetic or metal housings and potted in epoxy resin. They are, moreover, insensitive to dirt and shock. Detailed data sheets for these products can be found on the CONTRINEX website:

Series and parallel connection Capacitive 2-wire proximity switches with binary output can be used in series or parallel connection, similar to mechanical contacts. Attention has to be paid to the device-specific voltage drop, i.e. the residual voltage U d, which multiplies in the case of series connection according to the number of devices. In the case of parallel connection of sensors with thyristor output, the first switching output takes the whole load current. Adjustment of the operating distance Equipped with a 20-turn potentiometer, these Contrinex switches allow for adjustment of the operating distance, which can be either longer than or shorter than the rated operating distance. Under favorable conditions, an operating distance of up to the maximum given value can be set. Mounting As with inductive sensors, two kinds of mounting are distinguished for capacitive switches: embeddable or non-embeddable. Sensors for embeddable installation in metal or other materials can be arranged side by side, and are particularly suitable for the contact-free detection of solid bodies or liquid levels through non-metallic dividing walls (max. wall thickness 4 mm). When mounting two or more sensors for non-embeddable installation side by side in metal or other materials, some free space must be provided. Non-embeddable sensors are particularly suitable for applications where the medium to be detected comes into contact with the sensing head (e.g. level monitoring of bulk material, pastes or liquids).

18 RFID components Introduction RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is used in numerous automation and logistics domains. It allows objects to be identified by means of electronic labels (transponders or tags). The transponder memory contains a unique preset number as well as a zone in which complementary data relative to the object, either for tracing its history or for programming the parameters of the operations to which it will be subjected, can be inscribed by means of a read/write module. The advantages of RFID technology compared to classic systems, such as bar codes or laser marking, reside in the fact that, on the one hand, the transponder information can be read or written even if there is no direct line of vision between it and the read/write module and, on the other, transponder information can be supplemented, modified or deleted. ConIdent RFID system As a general rule, a CONTRINEX radio frequency identification (ConIdent ) system comprises: a transponder consisting of an integrated circuit connected to an antenna, a read/write module, an interface device, which establishes the connection between a field bus and several read/write modules, software: configuration and test, programming libraries. By means of an RS485 point-to-point connection, it is possible to work directly with the read/write module without using an interface device, should the need arise. The ConIdent interface device can be equipped with a built-in swiveling read/write module with two antennas, one frontal and one lateral. In addition, three remote read/write modules may be connected to it. The other alternative is to replace the built-in read/write module by a supplementary connection possibility. Detailed data sheets for these products can be found on the CONTRINEX website:

19 Profibus DeviceNet RS485 power supply interface device read/write module RS485 point-to-point read/write module tagged object 18 bit laser ROM 3 words 3 words Fig. 1 software tag 128 words usable memory of 120 words, 16 bit each word data protection 120 words Operating principle Transponders are passive, i.e. they have no built-in battery. The operating energy required is transmitted by the read/write module in the form of a carrier (electromagnetic wave). During communication between the transponder and the read/write module, this carrier is modulated by the data exchanged. RS485 point-to-point Fig. 2 electronic circuit read/write module antenna energy data transponder antenna integrated circuit Transponder memory The transponder s integrated circuit consists of a memory which, generally speaking, can be read only, read/write, or even writable once, then read only (One Time Programmable, OTP). ConIdent transponders are all of the type read/write. Users have 120 words, each of 16 bit, at their disposal for recording data relative to the tagged object. It should be emphasized that, if users so wish, memory zones of their choice can be read and/or write protected by a personal identification number (PIN) or by protection bits. Fig. 3 PIN and configuration 16 bit 2 bit 2 words Read/write module and interface device In the absence of a command from the user, the ConIdent read/write module tries to detect the presence of a transponder cyclically by attempting to read an identification number. This is its default operating mode. When the read/write module s field is deactivated, or when, after the execution of a command, the read/write module is waiting for the reply request from the interface device, it is in the wait mode. The ConIdent interface device successively and periodically interrogates the various read/write modules connected to it, in order to determine their state. At each interrogation, it registers the state of the read/write module. Due to the sampling, there is a time delay between, on the one hand, the transponder s physical presence and the read/write module s transponder present state and, on the other, between the read/write module s transponder present state and the status of this same module at the interface level. Before a command can be executed, in addition to the transponder s physical presence, the condition transponder present has to be met, both at the interface level as well as by the read/write module itself.

20 The read/write module retains the identification number of the last transponder detected in its memory until it is again interrogated by the interface. Fig. 4 RWM1: read/ write module interface device reply As soon as a command has been passed to a read/write module, the latter s state and its status at the interface level are reset. When a command is sent to the read/write module, it takes a certain time for it to be executed. The interface device calculates the maximum duration for this operation, starts an internal timer that informs it when the duration has ended, and RWM1: read/ write module Fig. 5 interface device reply detection status interrogation status RWM1 acyclic commands for RWM1 detection status interrogation status RWM1 acyclic commands for RWM1 no transponder RWM1 RWM2 no transponder no transponder RWM1 RWM2 transponder physically present RWM3 no transponder transponder present RWM1 transponder present execution OK transponder number memorized transponder physically present transponder number memorized no transponder resumes its other tasks. When the time is up, the interface device interrogates the read/write module concerned. After termination of the task, the read/write module itself waits for the request from the interface device to give its reply and to resume its cyclic activity of detecting transponders. It should be noted that a command being RWM2 transponder physically present RWM3 RWM3 transponder present RWM1 RWM2 RWM3 transponder present execution OK no transponder transponder physically present time transponder number memorized no transponder time processed by the read/write module cannot be interrupted. All requests received during the execution of a command are thus ignored. On the other hand, it is possible to put a command on hold at the interface level. Software The ConIdent RFID system is supplied with software which comprises a set of commands that permit configuration of the interface device and the read/write modules, a set of commands for intervening in the usable memory of transponders, a set of commands for configuring transponder data protection, a set of commands allowing control over interface inputs/outputs, a set of help tools for programming and system testing. Delivery program ConIdent transponders are available either encapsulated in synthetic material or in stainless-steel housings, open or closed at the back. ConIdent read/write modules are available in four different versions: metal devices with read/write head of PBTP one-piece stainless-steel devices (read/write head included) swiveling read/write head with two antennas integrated in the interface device hand-held device The all-metal, impervious transponders and read/write modules are a CONTRINEX specialty which permit operation in very rough conditions that other RFID systems are unable to resist. The ConIdent interface devices are available in three different executions, all for connection to RS485 bus, Profibus and DeviceNet. Detailed data sheets for these products can be found on the CONTRINEX website:

21 Read/write distances The read/write distance depends on various factors. The first is the relationship between the antenna diameters of the transponder and the read/write module. The larger these diameters, the greater the read/ write distance. In order to obtain the best results, the most appropriate read/write module is specified for each ConIdent transponder. The second factor is the transponder type. Compared to a metal one, a synthetic transponder gives a superior read/write distance. Finally, the third factor is the environment in which the transponder operates. In an electromagnetically neutral environment, the read/write distance is greater than in a metallic environment where differences occur depending on whether the transponder is embeddable (shorter read/write distances) or non-embeddable (longer read/write distances).

38 Software ConIdent software Software for configuring and programming the ConIdent RFID system The ConIdent software, downloadable from on the one hand allows users to configure their systems and, on the other, to structure the range of commands so that the application covers their needs. The ConIdent software allows singlephase commands to be sent to read/write modules in the absence of tags, or to interface devices: Control of the read/write module state and the presence of a transponder Reading of firmware version of the read/write module Number of times that the read/write module has to try to access the transponder Deactivating the read/write module s antenna Activating the read/write module s antenna Choice of active antenna in the case of the read/write module integrated in the interface device Data transfer rate of the read/write module with the PC or interface device Memorization of transponder's password in the read/write module The ConIdent software also gives access to two-phase commands, i.e. commands that concern the read/write module in the presence of a transponder. The first phase is the command passed to the reader/write module and the second phase is the latter s reply. With respect to the first phase, the following commands are available: Reading a given amount of transponder data starting from a specified address Writing a range of data onto a transponder starting from a specified address Comparison of data contained at a specified address on a transponder with the data introduced by the user Addition of data contained at a specified address on a transponder with data introduced Access to the transponder s protected part Modification of the transponder s password 22 Detailed data sheets for these products can be found on the CONTRINEX website:

39 The R/W Module tab screen also allows, on request or after modification, all the memory positions of the transponder which may be present in front of the read/write module to be seen. The Interface tab allows the same commands as those found under the R/W Module tab with, in addition, specification of the interface device's address with which the user wants to work and specification of the address of the read/write module connected to this interface device. The following can also be found: Reading of interface device's firmware version Reading the state of the interface device's outputs Modification of the state of the interface device's outputs Reading the state of the interface device's input The "Interface" tab screen also allows, on request or after modification, all the memory positions of transponders that may be present in front of the read/write module connected to the interface device to be seen. Finally, a Test List tab allows users to assure the conformity and appropriateness of a list of commands that they intend to send to the system
