Introduction 1 Introduction SIMATIC RF200 is a compact RFID system in the SIMATIC RFID product family. The product range comprises cost-efficient RF readers that are ideal for use in small assembly lines or in intralogistics. SIMATIC RF200 RFID readers only support the RFID standard ISO 15693 and are therefore ideal for operation with the extensive range of ISO 15693 transponders.

System overview 3 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. SIMATIC RF200 is characterized by particularly favorable prices.

Planning the RF200 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.3 Width of the transmission window Determining the width of the transmission window The following approximation formula can be used for practical applications: B: Width of the transmission window L: Length of the transmission window Tracking tolerances The width of the transmission window (B) is particularly important for the mechanical tracking tolerance.
Planning the RF200 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.4 Impact of secondary fields Secondary fields in the range from 0 mm to 30% of the limit distance (Sg) generally always exist. They should, however, only be used during configuration in exceptional cases, since the read/write distances are very limited. Exact details of the secondary field geometry cannot be given, since these values depend heavily on the operating distance and the application.
Planning the RF200 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning Secondary fields without shielding The following graphic shows typical primary and secondary fields, if no shielding measures are taken. ① ② Main field Secondary field Figure 4-4 Secondary field without shielding In this arrangement, the reader can also read tags via the secondary field. Shielding is required in order to prevent unwanted reading via the secondary field, as shown and described in the following.
Planning the RF200 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning Secondary fields with shielding The following graphic shows typical primary and secondary fields, with metal shielding this time. The metal shielding prevents the reader from detecting tags via the secondary field.
Planning the RF200 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.5 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.
Planning the RF200 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.6 Operation in static and dynamic mode Operation in static mode If working in static mode, the transponder can be operated up to the limit distance (Sg). The transponder must then be positioned exactly over the reader: Figure 4-7 Operation in static mode Note Note that in a metallic environment the values for the limit distance are reduced.
Planning the RF200 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.7 Dwell time of the transponder The dwell time is the time in which the transponder remains within the transmission window of the reader. The reader can exchange data with the transponder during this time. The dwell time is calculated as follows: tV: Dwell time of the transponder L: Length of the transmission window vTag: Speed of the transponder (tag) in dynamic mode 0.
Planning the RF200 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.8 Communication between communication module, reader and transponder Aids for calculating the data transmission times User-friendly calculation tools are available for the communications modules ASM 456, RF160C, RF170C and RF180C to calculate data transfer times. The calculation tools can be found on the DVD "Ident Systems Software & Documentation", article number 6GT20802AA20.

Planning the RF200 system 4.3 Installation guidelines The following sections describe the impact on the operation of the RFID system when mounted in the vicinity of metal. 4.3.2 Table 4- 18 Reduction of interference due to metal Interference due to metal rack Representation Description 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.
Planning the RF200 system 4.3 Installation guidelines Table 4- 19 Flush-mounting of transponders and readers Representation Description Problem: Flush-mounting of transponders and readers is possible in principle. However, the size of the transmission window is significantly reduced. The following measures can be used to counteract the reduction of the window: Remedy: Enlargement of the non-metallic spacer below the transponder and/or reader.
Planning the RF200 system 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. There is normally no interaction as long as the minimum distance D and metal-free areas a, b are maintained. However, interaction may take place if an iron frame is positioned unfavorably. Longer data transfer times or sporadic error messages at the communication module are the result.
Planning the RF200 system 4.3 Installation guidelines 4.3.4 Impact of metal on the transmission window In general, the following points should be considered when mounting RFID components: ● Direct mounting on metal is allowed only in the case of specially approved transponders. ● Flush-mounting of the components in metal reduces the field data; a test is recommended in critical applications.
Planning the RF200 system 4.3 Installation guidelines 4.3.4.1 RF210R The RF210R can be flush-mounted in metal. Please allow for a possible reduction in the field data values. To avoid reduction in the case of d), the distance a should be ≥ 10 mm.

Note that the antenna splitter is a purely passive device that splits the power at the input to two outputs and therefore halves it. This is possible both in PC mode (RS-232) and CM mode (RS-422).

Planning the RF200 system 4.3 Installation guidelines Metal-free space To guarantee perfect functioning of the individual installation versions, all larger metal parts in the vicinity of the antennas must be removed.

Planning the RF200 system 4.3 Installation guidelines ● The metal parts must not form closed loops or circuits. If necessary, these must be electrically interrupted at one point. ● The metal parts in the immediate vicinity of the antenna must be grounded in a mesh with a good HF connection. ● Since the write/read device is installed in a metal housing, and the antennas can couple into the cables to the write/read device, it must be installed at a distance of at least 500 mm from the antennas.
Planning the RF200 system 4.3 Installation guidelines 4.3.5.3 Installation options with the antenna multiplexer (2-6 antennas) You can operate up to six antennas on one reader via the multiplexer. The data is processed sequentially. Antenna switchover is performed in time-multiplex mode, so by connecting several antennas together, the processing time / activation time per antenna is lengthened accordingly.
