RF300 system planning 4.6 EMC Directives Prevention of interference by optimum configuration Good interference suppression can be achieved by installing SIMATIC PLCs on conducting mounting plates (unpainted). When setting up the control cabinet, interference can be prevented easily by observing certain guidelines. Power components (transformers, drive units, load power supply units) should be arranged separately from the control components (relay control unit, SIMATIC S7).
RF300 system planning 4.6 EMC Directives Filtering of the supply voltage External interference from the mains can be prevented by installing line filters. Correct installation is extremely important, in addition to appropriate dimensioning. It is essential that the line filter is mounted directly at the cabinet inlet. As a result, interference is filtered promptly at the inlet, and is not conducted through the cabinet.
RF300 system planning 4.6 EMC Directives 4.6.6 Prevention of interference sources A high level of immunity to interference can be achieved by avoiding interference sources. All switched inductances are frequent sources of interference in plants. Suppression of inductance Relays, contactors, etc. generate interference voltages and must therefore be suppressed using one of the circuits below.
RF300 system planning 4.6 EMC Directives 4.6.7 Equipotential bonding Potential differences between different parts of a plant can arise due to the different design of the plant components and different voltage levels. If the plant components are connected across signal cables, transient currents flow across the signal cables. These transient currents can corrupt the signals. Proper equipotential bonding is thus essential.
RF300 system planning 4.6 EMC Directives 4.6.8 Cable shielding Signal cables must be shielded in order to prevent coupling of interference. The best shielding is achieved by installing the cables in steel tubes. However, this is only necessary if the signal cable is routed through an environment prone to particular interference. It is usually adequate to use cables with braided shields. In either case, however, correct connection is vital for effective shielding.
RF300 system planning 4.6 EMC Directives The shielding bus should be connected to the control cabinet enclosure in a manner allowing good conductance (large-area contact) and must be situated as close as possible to the cable inlet. The cable insulation must be removed and the cable clamped to the shielding bus (high-frequency clamp) or secured using cable ties. Care should be taken to ensure that the connection allows good conductance.
5 Readers 5.1 5.1 Overview The reader ensures inductive communication with the transponders, and handles the serial connection to the communication modules/interface modules and 8xIQ-Sense module. Communication between the transponder and reader takes place over inductive alternating fields. The transmittable data volume between reader and transponder depends on: • the speed at which the transponder moves through the transmission window of the reader. • the length of the transmission window.

6 Transponders 6.1 6.1 Overview Transponders consist predominantly of logic, FRAM and/or EEPROM. If a transponder moves into the transmission window of the reader, the necessary power for all of the circuit components is generated and monitored by the power supply unit. The pulse-coded information is prepared in such a way that it can be processed further as pure digital signals. The handling of data, including check routines, is performed by the logic, which also manages the various memories. 6.2 6.2.
