System overview SIMATIC RF200 is an inductive identification system that is compatible with the ISO 15693 standard and was specially designed for use in industrial production for the control and optimization of material flows. In contrast to SIMATIC RF300, SIMATIC RF200 is intended for RFID applications where performance requirements are not very high, for example with regard to data volume, transfer rate or diagnostics options.

RF200 system planning 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning From the diagrams above, it can also be seen that operation is possible within the area between S and S . The active operating area reduces as the distance increases, and shrinks to a single point at distance S .
RF200 system planning 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.4 Permissible directions of motion of the transponder Detection area and direction of motion of the transponder The transponder and reader have no polarization axis, i.e. the transponder can come in from any direction, assume any position as parallel as possible to the reader, and cross the transmission window.
RF200 system planning 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning Note Note that in a metallic environment the values for the limit distance are reduced. Operation in dynamic mode When working in dynamic mode, the transponder moves past the reader. The transponder can be used as soon as the intersection (SP) of the transponder enters the circle of the transmission window.
RF200 system planning 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning The dwell time can be of any duration in static mode. The dwell time must be sufficiently long to allow communication with the transponder. The dwell time is defined by the system environment in dynamic mode. The volume of data to be transferred must be matched to the dwell time or vice versa.

RF200 system planning 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.8 Impact of secondary fields Secondary fields in the range from 0 mm to 30% of the limit distance (S ) generally always exist. They should only be used during configuration in exceptional cases, however, since the read/write distances are very limited.

RF200 system planning 4.3 Installation guidelines Note Effect on inductive fields by not maintaining the minimum distances of the readers If the values fall below those specified in the "Minimum distance from reader to reader" table, there is a risk of the function being affected by inductive fields. In this case, the data transfer time would increase unpredictably or a command would be aborted with an error.
RF200 system planning 4.3 Installation guidelines 4.3.2 Reduction of interference due to metal Interference due to metal rack Problem A metal rack is located above the transmission window of the reader. This affects the entire field. In particular, the transmission window between reader and transponder is reduced.

RF200 system planning 4.3 Installation guidelines Mounting of several readers on metal frames or racks Any reader mounted on metal couples part of the field to the metal frame.

Glossary Automation system (AS) A programmable logical controller (PLC) of the SIMATIC S7 system, comprising a central controller, a CPU and various I/O modules. Battery-free data storage unit Mobile data storage units which operate without batteries. Power is supplied to the data storage unit across an electromagnetic alternating field.

Glossary Dynamic mode In dynamic mode, the data carrier moves past the read/write device at a traversing rate which depends on the configuration. Various checking mechanisms (listen-in check, CRC, ECC, etc.) ensure error-free data transfer even under extreme environmental conditions. A serial connection (up to 1000 m) is used to connect the read/write device directly to an interface module, PC, or any other system.

Glossary Length of a transmission window in the x direction Length of a transmission window in the y direction Centerpoint of a field of a transmission window Metal-free area Distance/area which must be maintained between the transponder and metal in order to prevent interference during data transfer between the transponder and read/write device.

Glossary RFID systems SIMATIC RF identification systems control and optimize material flow and production sequences. They identify reliably, quickly and economically, use non-contact data communication technology, and store data directly on the product. They are also resistant to contamination. Operating distance between transponder and reader Secondary fields The strength of the secondary fields, which exist in addition to the transmission window, is usually lower than that of the transmission window and depends on the metallic environment.

Glossary Transponder An invented word from transmitter and responder. Transponders are used on the product, the product carrier, the object, or its transport or packaging unit, and contain production and manufacturing data, i.e. all application-specific data. They follow the product through assembly lines, transfer and production lines and are used to control material flow.
