Technical Data RF240R – Short Form

Remarks: The RF240R manual does not yet exist, even in German language. The

RF240R manual, once completed, will contain detailed information about field-data,

range for certain tags, and information about how to implement the RF240R in a

production site with communication modules. This detailed information may not be much

relevant for RF240R FCC approval.

Below given are short system overview and technical data which are required in order to

run the RF240R for testing and to check the reader’s function.

RF200 System overview

SIMATIC RF200 is an inductive identification system, based on the standard ISO 15693,

which was specially designed for industrial production for controlling and optimization

material flow.

Contrary to SIMATIC RF300, SIMATIC RF200 is designed for RFID applications for

lower demands on performance (data volume, data transfer speed, diagnostics).

SIMATIC RF200 is an entry-level RFID system.

Component Description Communication Modules Integration of an RFID Identification system into a PLC (e. g. SIMATIC S7) is achieved by a communications module. Reader The reader achieves the communication with the tag and provides the tag with energy by the reader’s magnetic field. The reader also interfaces to various modules (i.e. SIMATIC S7 via ASM 475). Tag The RFID-tag stores all data relevant for production and is used as a substitute for optical barcode-tags.
