RF600 system planning 4.2 Possible system configurations Features of the scenario Intralogistics (material flow) Figure 4-1 Scenario: Intralogistics (material flow) The conveyor transports the transport containers past the antennas. The transponders attached to the transport containers are always evenly aligned. The transponders in this scenario are transponders of the type SIMATIC RF630L. The conveyor belt has a maximum width of approximately 80 cm in this example. The maximum transport speed is 2 m/s.
RF600 system planning 4.2 Possible system configurations Intralogistics (separator) ཱ Trigger by light barrier on DI Distributed small gate Figure 4-2 ི ཱི Separator setting by means of DQ Individual read point Scenario: Intralogistics (separator) In this example scenario, items must be distributed to the correct storage location in a transport container via a separator. The transponders attached to the transport containers are always evenly aligned.
RF600 system planning 4.2 Possible system configurations 4.2.2 Scenario for workpiece identification A typical characteristic of modern manufacturing scenarios is their multitude of variations. The individual data and production steps are stored in the transponder of a tool holder or product. These data are read by the machining stations during a production process and, if necessary, tagged with status information. This can be used to dynamically identify which production step is the next in the series.
RF600 system planning 4.2 Possible system configurations identification quality of the wanted transponders while reducing the identification of unwanted transponders. 4.2.3 Goods tracking scenario In this scenario, a gate consisting of a SIMATIC RF650R reader and four antennas checks the goods passing through the gate. All stored goods are equipped with transponders. A traffic light indicates whether the goods may leave the warehouse.
RF600 system planning 4.2 Possible system configurations 4.2.4 Scenario incoming goods, distribution of goods and outgoing goods The scenario consists of an RFID system with three readers. The SIMATIC RF650R reader with its four antennas identifies the incoming/outgoing products at the incoming/outgoing goods gates of a factory building hall through which pallets are delivered. Each pallet is fitted with a transponder.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Features of the scenario In this example scenario, the SIMATIC RF685R reader is controlled by a light barrier and monitors a conveyor belt; the conveyor belt transports the goods towards two output gates that are assigned to different recipients. Each item has a transponder that is always fitted at the same position and with the same alignment on the item.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 4.3.1 Antenna configuration example The following figure shows an example of an application with an antenna configuration of the RF650R. The antennas are positioned at the height at which the transponders to be identified are expected. The maximum width of the portal recommended for reliable operation is 4 m. The diagram shows a configuration with three antennas. Up to four antennas can be used depending on the local conditions.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 4.3.2 Possibilities and application areas for antenna configurations Some basic antenna configurations and possible fields of application are shown below. With the various configurations, please note that up to four external antennas can be connected to the RF650R and RF680R readers, while one external antenna can be connected to the RF615 and RF685R readers. The RF615R and RF685R readers also have an internal antenna.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Antenna configuration 2 Description/ application areas This arrangement of antennas is appropriate when the transponders to be read are only located on one side of the items to be identified, e.g. when pallets are to be identified and it is known on which side the transponders to be read are located.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Antenna configuration 4 Description/ application areas Preferred for the identification of goods at loading gates: Similar to configuration 2, but with additional reading reliability when the transponder is at an angle to the vertical.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Antenna configuration 6 Description/ application areas Preferred for the identification of goods at loading gates: Similar to configuration 4, but the reliability of transponder identification is improved as a result of the four antennas at separate locations, so the transponder position is not critical. Transponder Antenna configuration 7 Description/ application areas This tunnel configuration is suitable for conveyor belt applications.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 4.3.3 Transponder orientation in space The alignment of the transponder antenna to the antenna of the reader influences the reading range. For maximum performance and to achieve the maximum read range, the transponder antenna should therefore be aligned parallel to the reader antenna: Parallel transponder alignment Large reading range The probability of identification of the transponders is at a maximum.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 4.3.4 Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas Specified minimum spacing of antennas The following diagram shows the specified minimum and maximum spacings for mounting antennas: Between the antenna and liquids or metals, a minimum distance of 50 cm should be kept to. The distance between the antenna and the floor should also be at least 50 cm.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 4.3.5 Reciprocal influence of read points Antenna alignment and resulting antenna spacing The minimum distance required between antennas that use the same frequency and that are connected to different readers depends on the maximum transmit power set and the antenna alignment. The following minimum distances apply with maximum transmit power.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Antenna spacing with portal configuration In the portal configuration, multiple antennas are connected to one reader. In this case, the antennas must not exceed the maximum distance to one another.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Factors Description Reflection characteristics of the environment In a multiple-reflection environment (e.g., in rooms with reflecting surfaces, machinery, or concrete walls), the reading range can be significantly higher than in a low-reflection environment. Number of transponders in the antenna The typical ranges always relate to a transponder installed field at the maximum possible distance from the antenna.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 4.3.8 Operation of several readers within restricted space 4.3.8.1 Using more than one reader When mounting the readers make sure that there is a minimum clearance of 0.5 m between the readers to avoid them influencing each other. Avoiding problems When several RFID readers are used, there is a danger that RFID transponders can also be read out by other readers.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 4.3.8.3 Frequency hopping This technique is intended to prevent mutual interference between readers. The reader changes its transmission channel in a random or programmed sequence (FHSS). Procedure for FCC Frequency hopping is always active in the FCC country profile. With 50 available channels the probability is low that two readers will be operating on the same frequency. In China, one reader operates on at least 2 channels, e.g. sixteen 2 watt channels.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Purpose of this chapter This section will help you to select the suitable antenna or the suitable cable taking into account all important criteria and to make the relevant settings in the configuration software/WBM of the SIMATIC RF600 system. Correct and safe integration into the SIMATIC RF600 system is only possible following adaptation of all required parameters. 4.3.9.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Environmental conditions NOTICE Damage to the device In line with the application, you must take into consideration the mechanical loads (shock and vibration) as well as environmental demands such as temperature, moisture, UV radiation. The device could be damaged if these factors are not considered.
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Antenna cable loss In order to be able to transmit the available UHF power from the RF600 reader to the antenna or antennas, the antenna cable loss should not exceed a value of approx. 5 dB. Dependency of the cable loss The cable loss depends on two important factors: Ⴠ External characteristics of cable. These includes the cable length, diameter and design. Ⴠ As a result of the physical principle, the cable loss is also frequency-dependent.
RF600 system planning 4.4 Minimum distances and maximum ranges 4.4 Minimum distances and maximum ranges The following section describes the configuration of the antenna and transponder relative to each other. The aim of the section is to help you achieve the maximum ranges listed here in a typical electromagnetic environment. One of the main focuses of the section is the effect of the mounting surface of the transponder on the read/write distance.
RF600 system planning 4.4 Minimum distances and maximum ranges With the antenna types with linear polarization (RF620A and RF642A), the polarization axes of the antenna and of the transponder must be aligned parallel to each other to achieve a maximum range. NOTICE Reduction of the maximum read/write range when using linear antennas If the alignment of the polarization axes of linear antennas (RF620A or RF642A) and transponders is not parallel, this reduces the read/write range.
RF600 system planning 4.4 Minimum distances and maximum ranges Linear antennas To achieve the maximum range with linear antennas, make sure that the polarization axes of the antenna and transponder are parallel to each other. Changing the transponder angle within the x-y plane leads to a reduction of the range.
RF600 system planning 4.4 Minimum distances and maximum ranges Suboptimal transponder alignment for all antenna types If the angle is changed within the y-z plane, this causes a reduction in range for all antenna types. ཱ Antenna RF615A, RF620A, RF640A, RF642A, RF650A or RF680A Transponder Figure 4-13 Suboptimal transponder alignment Note Exceptions The suboptimal transponder alignment does not apply to the transponders RF625T and RF630T.
RF600 system planning 4.4 Minimum distances and maximum ranges Effects due to transponder mounting The maximum read/write range of the transponders depends on the material of the mounting surface. The specified ranges apply when mounted on non-metallic surfaces, such as paper or card, with the RF640L, RF642L, RF625T, RF630T, RF640T and RF645T when mounted on metal. Mounting on plastic can reduce the maximum read/write range considerably depending on the type of plastic (up to 70%).
RF600 system planning 4.4 Minimum distances and maximum ranges The following tables summarize the ranges with the RF610R and RF615R readers, as well as the RF680R and RF685R readers, since the ranges achieved are identical with these readers. Note that the RF610R reader does not have an external antenna connector and the RF680R reader does not have an internal antenna.

RF600 system planning 4.4 Minimum distances and maximum ranges 4.4.4 Minimum distances between antennas and transponders The antennas listed here are all far field antennas. For this reason, a minimum distance between antennas and transponders must be maintained to ensure reliable transponder data access: Table 4- 9 4.4.
RF600 system planning 4.5 Environmental conditions for transponders 4.5 Environmental conditions for transponders Basic rules The transponder must not be placed directly on metal surfaces or on containers of liquid. The on-metal transponders designed specifically for use in metallic environments are an exception to this. For physical reasons, a minimum distance must be maintained between the transponder antenna and conductive material. A minimum distance of 5 cm is recommended.
RF600 system planning 4.6 The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band Reducing the effect of reflections/interference on transponder identification Ⴠ Reducing the transmit power: To minimize interference, we recommend that the transmit power of the reader is reduced until it is sufficient for an identification rate of 100%. Ⴠ Increasing the number of antennas: More antennas (3 or 4) in a suitable antenna configuration can prevent gaps in reader coverage. 4.6.
RF600 system planning 4.6 The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band This effect depends very much on the transmitted power, the components being used (cable, antenna) and the distance from the metallic surface to the antenna. In this case, repositioning/realigning the antenna or reducing the radiated power can remedy the situation. 4.6.
RF600 system planning 4.7 Planning and installation of UHF read points 4.7 Planning and installation of UHF read points Due to their comparatively large effective range, RFID UHF systems (frequency band 865 928 MHz) have different requirements in terms of planning, commissioning and operation compared with the HF systems commonly used up to now in automation (frequency band 13.56 MHz). This section describes important rules for preparation and implementation of the RFID UHF systems. 4.7.
RF600 system planning 4.7 Planning and installation of UHF read points Ⴠ distance between antenna and transponder, Ⴠ reflections, Ⴠ noise level in the channel used and in neighboring channels The RSSI value is important for the automatic evaluation of the read point and for filtering. A simple comparison of the RSSI values of two transponders is nevertheless not possible because the values are influenced by the transponder tolerances and the non-homogeneous antenna field.
RF600 system planning 4.7 Planning and installation of UHF read points Properties of the transmitting antenna Depending on their design, UHF RFID antennas provide different properties. They differ in the polarization and antenna gain. The direction of the electrical field component of an electromagnetic wave and the alignment of the antenna decide the polarization of the radiation. A distinction is made between linear and circular polarization of an antenna.
RF600 system planning 4.7 Planning and installation of UHF read points 4.7.2 Implementation of UHF RFID installations The use of UHF RFID systems requires careful planning and preparation to avoid problems during commissioning and operation. 4.7.2.
RF600 system planning 4.7 Planning and installation of UHF read points Dynamic identification Dead spots cannot be excluded. To be able to compensate for dead spots, we recommend that you give preference to dynamic identification rather than static identification. Dynamic identification means that the transponders are read while they are moving (e.g. on the conveyor belt). If static identification is necessary, the antenna field can e virtually dynamized with the RF685R antenna or RF680A.
RF600 system planning 4.7 Planning and installation of UHF read points 4.7.2.3 Setting up read points The read point setup described in this section is performed using the Web Based Management (WBM) and applies to the RF600 readers. You can find a detailed description of the WBM in the configuration manual "SIMATIC RF600 (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/ps/15081/man)".

RF600 system planning 4.7 Planning and installation of UHF read points Ⴠ Reader ർ reader influence: Several readers influence or disturb each other during transponder identification. Approaches to solutions: – "Interconnect" neighboring readers so that they do not send at the same time – Enable intermissions ("Settings - General" menu item) – Channel management Ⴠ Reader ർ transponder influence: A reader communicates with a transponder that is also in the identification area of another reader.
RF600 system planning 4.7 Planning and installation of UHF read points Channel management To operate the readers, depending on the country profile, you have between four and fifty send channels available.

RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.10.2 What does EMC mean? The increasing use of electrical and electronic devices is accompanied by: Ⴠ Higher component density Ⴠ More switched power electronics Ⴠ Increasing switching rates Ⴠ Lower power consumption of components due to steeper switching edges The higher the degree of automation, the greater the risk of interaction between devices.
RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.10.3 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 Ⴠ 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.
RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Ⴠ Feed the connected shield through to the module without interruption. Ⴠ Use braided shields, not foil shields. Line and signal filter Ⴠ Use only line filters with metal housings Ⴠ Connect the filter housing to the cabinet chassis using a large-area low-HF-impedance connection. Ⴠ Never fix the filter housing to a painted surface. Ⴠ Fix the filter at the control cabinet inlet or in the direction of the source. 4.10.
RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 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.
RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Interference source Cause Remedy HF interference over the antennas caused by another reader x Position the antennas further apart. x Erect suitable damping materials between the antennas. x Reduce the power of the readers. Please follow the instructions in the section Installation guidelines/reducing the effects of metal 4.10.
RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) The better the equipotential bonding in a plant, the smaller the chance of interference due to fluctuations in potential. Equipotential bonding should not be confused with protective earthing of a plant. Protective earthing prevents the occurrence of excessive contact voltages in the event of equipment faults whereas equipotential bonding prevents the occurrence of differences in potential. 4.10.
RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-22 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.

Readers 5.2 SIMATIC RF610R NOTICE For long cables: Adapt the power supply and transmission speed Note that even with long cables, the supply voltage of 24 VDC must always be guaranteed. Note also that the transmission speed on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced. SIMATIC standard cables (e.g. 6GT2891-4FN10) have a loop resistance of 160 mOhm / meter. This results in a voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the 24 V cable for every 10 meters of connecting cable and with a power requirement of 500 mA.
Readers 5.2 SIMATIC RF610R Dense Reader Mode (DRM) The readers can also interfere with each other (secondary fields), if the channels (Reader TX, Transponder TX) overlap. In order to prevent a transponder channel overlapping with a reader channel, we recommend that the Dense Reader Mode (DRM) is used. Note Protective cap If you only use the internal antenna of the reader, we recommend that you close the external, unused antenna connector on the reader using the protective cap.
