2046831

Overview

The SICK 2046831 is an RFID transponder designed for UHF identification in industrial environments. It features a compact, rugged housing with IP67 protection, suitable for tight spaces and shock/vibration resistance. The device supports supply voltages between 9 and 32 volts. It enables conversion of Ethernet messages to CAN messages and vice versa, complying with CAN 2.0b specification. Multiple CAN frames can be transmitted per TCP transmission. LEDs on the housing cover indicate signal receipt and transmission status.

Feature Summary

• Compact and flexible design resistant to shock and vibration
• IP67 standard housing for reliable operation in tough environments
• Integrated process logic for direct data processing
• Configurable via SOPAS ET for CAN/ETH settings

Applications

• IoT applications directly on workpieces or components
• Continuous identification along the value chain
• Remote self-supporting unit connection with trigger sensors
• Industrial automation systems requiring robust RFID identification

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific variant suffix against the official SICK ordering list to ensure correct interface and antenna configuration. Confirm that the device meets the required IP67 rating and voltage range (9-32V) for the target application environment. Check compatibility with existing SOPAS ET configuration tools and network protocols before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a compact UHF RFID read/write device with integrated logic. Ensure the installation space accommodates the small form factor. Verify that the control system supports the necessary Ethernet/CAN interfaces and that the operating temperature range aligns with environmental conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK RFU61x series of UHF RFID devices. It is part of the machine vision and identification portfolio, specifically designed for short sensing ranges. The series rounds out the UHF product line by enabling continuous identification, offering versatility due to its small size and direct connection options for trigger sensors.

Replacement Considerations

Check SICK's official cross-reference documentation for compatible upgrades within the RFU61x family. Ensure any substitute maintains the same IP67 rating, voltage input range, and interface compatibility (Ethernet/CAN). Verify that the replacement supports the required SOPAS ET configuration methods.
