Description
Communications
module
A communications module is used to integrate the RF identification system in
controllers/automation systems.
Reader The reader ensures inductive communication and power supply to the tran-
sponder, and handles the connection to the various controllers (e.g. SIMATIC
S7) through the communications module (e.g. ASM 456).
Transponder The transponder stores all data relevant for production and is used, for exam-
ple, instead of barcode.
