 Trigger Mode

When the ID Tag on a workpiece or palette moves within the communications range of the Antenna, it

is detected by a sensor or a switch. A control signal (trigger signal) is output from the PLC to the

DeviceNet Remote ID Controller, which triggers the DeviceNet Remote ID Controller to begin

communications with the ID Tag. The DeviceNet Remote ID Controller reads the Tag data and outputs

the results to the PLC.

 Auto Mode

When the ID Tag of a workpiece or palette is within the communications range of the Antenna, the

Remote ID Controller automatically begins communications with the ID Tag and outputs the result to

the PLC.
