System overview 3.2 SIMATIC RF300 Note ISO15693 is only possible with MLFB 6GT2801-xxBxx readers. Conventions The RF310R, RF340R and RF380R readers are equipped with an integral antenna, whereas the RF350R reader is operated over an external antenna. In this system manual, the term "Reader" is used throughout even where it is actually referring to the antenna of the reader. 3.2.
System overview 3.3 System configuration 3.3 System configuration 3.3.1 Overview The SIMATIC RF300 system is characterized by a high level of standardization of its components. This means that the system follows the TIA principle throughout: Totally Integrated Automation. It provides maximum transparency at all levels with its reduced interface overhead. This ensures optimum interaction between all system components.
System overview 3.3 System configuration In this scenario, it is an advantage that the tag can be directly secured to metal on the metal pallets. The small-dimensioned SIMATIC RF310R reader is integrated in the conveyor elements in such a manner that it can communicate with the tags from below. Thus, it is not necessary to align the pallets or to attach several tags. The data of the entire production order (5000 bytes) is stored on the tag.
System overview 3.3 System configuration 3.3.3 Example of container and paper board container handling: Use of ISO tags Containers of varying sizes are conveyed to picking workstations in a delivery center. There, the individual goods are removed and packed in cartons according to the delivery note.
System overview 3.3 System configuration In this scenario, it is an advantage that the RF380R reader can read and write the tags at different distances on the containers without a great deal of mechanical or control system effort due to the reading range. During the picking process, the goods are immediately placed in different containers or packed in cartons depending on the destination (small packaging or large packaging station). The containers are equipped with the MDS D100 ISO tag.

RF300 system planning 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, be placed at any position, and cross the transmission window.
RF300 system planning 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 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. In dynamic mode, the operating distance (Sa) is of primary importance.
RF300 system planning 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 a reader. The reader can exchange data with the transponder during this time.
RF300 system planning 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.8 Communication between communication module, reader and transponder Communication between the communication module, reader and transponder takes place asynchronously through the RS422 interface.

RF300 system planning 4.5 Installation guidelines 4.5 Installation guidelines 4.5.1 Overview The transponder and reader complete with their antennas are inductive devices. Any type of metal, in particular iron and ferromagnetic materials, in the vicinity of these devices will affect their operation.
RF300 system planning 4.5 Installation guidelines Flush-mounting Flush-mounting of transponders and readers Problem 1RQ PHWDOOLF VSDFHU 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: 6KHHW 0HWDO 5HDGHUV 0HWDO Remedy: Enlargement of the non-metallic spacer below the transponder and/or reader.
RF300 system planning 4.5 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.

RF300 system planning 4.7 EMC Directives 4.7.2 What does EMC mean? The increasing use of electrical and electronic devices is accompanied by: ● Higher component density ● More switched power electronics ● Increasing switching rates ● Lower power consumption of components due to steeper switching edges The higher the degree of automation, the greater the risk of interaction between devices.
RF300 system planning 4.7 EMC Directives 4.7.3 Basic rules It is often sufficient to follow a few elementary rules in order to ensure electromagnetic compatiblity (EMC). The following rules must be observed: Shielding by enclosure ● Protect the device against external interference by installing it in a cabinet or housing. The housing or enclosure must be connected to the chassis ground. ● Use metal plates to shield against electromagnetic fields generated by inductances.
RF300 system planning 4.7 EMC Directives Line and signal filter ● Use only line filters with metal housings ● Connect the filter housing to the cabinet chassis using a large-area low-HF-impedance connection. ● Never fix the filter housing to a painted surface. ● Fix the filter at the control cabinet inlet or in the direction of the source. 4.7.
RF300 system planning 4.7 EMC Directives Interference sources In order to achieve a high level of electromagnetic compatibility and thus a very low level of disturbance in a plant, it is necessary to recognize the most frequent interference sources. These must then be eliminated by appropriate measures.
RF300 system planning 4.7 EMC Directives Coupling paths A coupling path has to be present before the disturbance emitted by the interference source can affect the system. There are four ways in which interference can be coupled in: *DOYDQLF FRXSOLQJ SDWK , 1 7 ( 5 ) ( 5 ( 1 & ( 5),' 5HDGHU &DSDFLWLYH FRXSOLQJ SDWK 5),' 5HDGHU ,QGXFWLYH FRXSOLQJ SDWK 5),' 5HDGHU 6 2 8 5 & ( , 1 7 ( 5 ) ( 5 ( 1 & ( 6 , 1 .
RF300 system planning 4.7 EMC Directives 4.7.5 Cabinet configuration The influence of the user in the configuration of an electromagnetically compatible plant encompasses cabinet configuration, cable installation, ground connections and correct shielding of cables. Note For information about electromagnetically compatible cabinet configuration, please consult the installation guidelines for SIMATIC PLCs.
RF300 system planning 4.7 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 4.7 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 4.7 EMC Directives 4.7.6 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 4.7 EMC Directives 4.7.7 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 4.7 EMC Directives 4.7.8 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 4.7 EMC Directives &DEOH WLH 5HPRYH SDLQW Figure 4-27 Connection of shielding bus The shielding bus must be connected to the PE busbar. If shielded cables have to be interrupted, the shield must be continued via the corresponding connector housing. Only suitable connectors may be used for this purpose.

5 Readers Overview The reader ensures inductive communication with the transponders, and handles the serial connection to the communication modules or the 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.
