The RF182C communication module is designed for easy assembly. Mounting position, mounting dimensions Mounting position There are no restrictions regarding the mounting position for the RF182C. Mounting dimensions and spacing Table 3- 1 Mounting dimensions of base module with connection block M12, 7/8'' (without...
Note Functional ground (PE) If a grounded metal mounting surface is used, the bottom mounting screw of the RF182C module already establishes a reliable grounding connection. This eliminates the need for a separate grounding cable. If you use the fixing screw as grounding connection, the thread of the fixing screw or the contact facing of the fastening nut on the base must be unpainted.
Page 15
Fix the base unit onto a level surface using the screws. The base unit must be screwed to the surface (3 Nm tightening torque) at both fixing points (front, top and bottom). Figure 3-1 Mounting the I/O module RF182C communication module Operating Instructions, 10/2010...

Notes for wiring ● If you are wiring your structure, then you must take into account the impact of cable length on supply voltage to the RF182C. Example: When using a 10 m long cable with a diameter of 1.5 mm , the voltage drop is 2.5 V with...
Connecting 4.4 Wiring an RF182C to a controller with Ethernet connection Wiring an RF182C to a controller with Ethernet connection A connection from Ethernet to an M12 connection can be easily implemented. Self-assembly of an Ethernet M12 cable ● You will need a pre-assembled PROFINET/Ethernet cable with M12 connectors at both ends twice the required length.
Connecting the RF182C to functional ground (PE) Features ● You have to connect the RF182C to the functional ground (PE). For this purpose, a grounding screw for one grounding cable is provided on the communication module. ● If a grounded metal mounting surface is used, the bottom mounting screw of the RF182C module already establishes a reliable grounding connection.
Page 34
Connecting 4.5 Connecting the RF182C to functional ground (PE) Connecting the RF182C to functional ground (PE) Standard grounding via the fixing screw Optional grounding via a grounding cable 1. Mount the module on the grounded, metallic base as 1. Isolate the grounding cable and secure the cable lug.
An IP address may be present only once within a network. It must be parameterized in the RF182C. In the user application in the PC, the IP address is specified when establishing a connection.
Page 36
Port assignment via web server The assignment of the ports can be changed via the web server. If no connection could be established with the RF182C, check the port setting via the web server. The default port setting is: 10001/10002.
(Page 41). ● Optionally, a configuration message frame (comDevSetConfig) can be sent to the RF182C to change the communication mode stored in the RF182C by default. The client that configures the RF182C first also defines the RF182C settings. Further configurations during operation are not possible. The module must be de- energized or restarted by means of a "Reset"...
Page 38
5.2 Data communication between client and RF182C ● If no configuration message frame is sent and the default port setting was not changed via the web server, the RF182C is operated in the default setting. The default values are shown in the following figure:...
Page 39
If, in case of an error, no response is sent in answer to the heartbeat message frame from the RF182C, the client must then initiate further actions (disconnect/connect/parameterize the reader).
Therefore, you must first assign the IP address data (IP address and subnet mask) to the RF182C so that it can be used in the Ethernet network. An IP address can be assigned to the RF182C using the PST tool or via the web server.
Assigning the IP address 5.4.1 Overview There are two ways of assigning an IP address to the RF182C communication module: ● Using the "Primary Setup Tool V4-0" ● Via the web server of the communication module Both alternative procedures are described in brief below.
Page 42
No contact with web server RF182C If the web server of the communication module does not open, you should make sure that all cables are correctly connected and check whether the RF182C communication module has powered up. 2. Check the IP address of the PC and the address of the subnet mask in the "Communication"...
Page 43
Parameterizing 5.4 Assigning the IP address 3. In the "Settings" tab you will find the settings that are currently valid on the RF182C device. Here you can change the IP address, subnet mask, default router or the port numbers of the individual readers.
Page 44
5.4 Assigning the IP address Resetting to factory settings Via the "Reset" menu, you can reset all settings to the factory settings. 1. To do this, click on the button "Reset RF182C to factory settings". Note Soft reset If serious communication errors occur, you can also execute a so-called "soft reset" using the "Reset 182C"...
A window opens that indicates that a device was found in the network. If no RF182C communication module is shown, make sure that all cables are connected properly and check if the RF182C communication module has started. Check the IP address of the PC and the subnet mask.
Page 46
– If you want to change the data under "Assign IP Parameters", check the adjacent option. – Click the button "Assign Name" to explicitly assign a name to the device, e.g. RF182C. 4. If you want to transfer the changed data to the communication module, select the higher- level folder and select "Module >...
Page 47
You can now address the device using a browser or user program. Note IP address stored on connection block The IP address is stored on the connection block. Therefore, if you replace the base module, no new IP address has to be assigned. RF182C communication module Operating Instructions, 10/2010...
Do not switch on the RF182C communication module yet. 2. Remove all other network cables from your PC/notebook and make sure that the RF182C is the only network device connected to your PC/notebook.
The structure of the XML commands of this section can also be found in a text file (RF182C_XML_Commands.txt). You can find this file on the RFID CD "Software & Documentation". Follow the link "CM > ASM > RF182C > Tools". Thus you can transfer the basic structure of the commands to your application program by means of copy and paste.
