7.4 Near Field Communication (NFC)
NFC (Near Field Communication) refers to a standard for wireless data transfer between different devices
over short distances.
The ejector functions as a passive NFC tag that can be read or written by a read or write device which has
NFC activated, such as a smartphone or tablet. Access to the ejector parameters via NFC also works when
the supply voltage is not connected.
There are two options for communicating via NFC:
•
Read access only can be obtained via a website viewed in a browser. For this, no additional app is
needed. It requires only that NFC and the Internet connection are enabled.
•
Another option for communication is the "Schmalz ControlRoom" control and service app. This per-
mits not only read access, but also active reconfiguration of the parameters via NFC. The Schmalz
ControlRoom app is available at the Google Play Store.
For the best data connection, place the
reading device on the NFC symbol in
the middle of the ejector.
The reading distance is very short for NFC applications. Determine the position of the NFC an-
tenna in the reading device used. If parameters of the device are modified via IO-Link or NFC,
then the power supply must subsequently remain stable for at least three seconds to prevent
data loss (error E01).
