RF600 system planning 4.1 4 Overview You should observe the following criteria for implementation planning: ● Possible system configurations ● Antenna configurations ● Environmental conditions for transponders ● The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band ● Regulations applicable to frequency bands ● EMC Directives 4.2 Possible system configurations The SIMATIC RF600 system is characterized by a high level of standardization of its components.
RF600 system planning 4.2 Possible system configurations 4.2.1 Intralogistics scenario This scenario describes the transport of material via conveyor systems that are made up of large numbers of standard elements. They are characterized by long distances, frequent branches (separators, infeed and outfeed), standardized transport containers and high movement speeds. The installation space available for identification technology is limited, and the high number of read points demands a low-cost solution.
RF600 system planning 4.2 Possible system configurations Intralogistics (separator) ① ② ③ Power supply using Power over Ethernet Distributed small gate Trigger by light barrier on DI Figure 4-2 ④ ⑤ ⑥ Separator setting by means of DQ Individual read point Mobile data acquisition Scenario: Intralogistics (separator) In this example scenario, items must be distributed to the correct storage location in a transport container via a separator.
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 After the sorter, the goods are loaded onto pallets - each pallet is fitted with a transponder. These transponders also contain user data that provides information about the sender and receiver of the goods. Based on the data read by the SIMATIC RF650R reader, there is a check to make sure that the correct pallets for the specific receiver are available at the outgoing goods gate. Light barriers are installed to control the reader.
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 F680R 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. ① 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: ● External characteristics of cable. These includes the cable length, diameter and design. ● As a result of the physical principle, the cable loss is also frequency-dependent.
RF600 system planning 4.4 Environmental conditions for transponders 4.4 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 4.5 The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band Reducing the effect of reflections/interference on transponder identification ● 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%. ● Increasing the number of antennas: More antennas (3 or 4) in a suitable antenna configuration can prevent gaps in reader coverage. 4.5.
RF600 system planning 4.5 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. 4.5.
RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points 4.6 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. 4.6.
RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points ● distance between antenna and transponder, ● reflections, ● 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 4.6 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 4.6 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 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points Adjust antennas Follow the steps below to optimize the antenna alignment: 1. Position the object fitted with a transponder and to be identified at the required read point. 2. Align the reader or the antenna so that its front points in the direction of the object (transponder) to be identified. Keep to the minimum distances between antennas and transponders to avoid antenna errors.

Note Transponder is not identified If no transponder is identified, first increase the radiated power as described in the following section. Then repeat the antenna adjustment. Also check the polarization of your antenna. If the transponder always has the same alignment, the antenna polarization should be adapted accordingly.
RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points Detect activation power Follow the steps below to detect the activation power: 1. In the "Settings - Activation power" menu item, select the connected antenna and click the "Start measurement" button. 2. In the "Min. power" column of the transponder list, you can see the required activation power. The value "Min.
RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points 4.6.3 Dealing with field disturbances 4.6.3.1 Types and approaches to solutions The superposition of radio waves and reflection by conductive materials (in particular metal) can lead to weakening or strengthening of the antenna field at certain points in space.
RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points ● Reader ↔ 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 ● Reader ↔ transponder influence: A reader communicates with a transponder that is also in the identification area of another reader.
RF600 system planning 4.6 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. Ideally, you should make the channel assignments manually in STEP 7 Basic / Professional (TIA Portal) or in the WBM. This allows you to reduce reader-to reader influence and if applicable field obliteration.

RF600 system planning 4.9 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 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) What interference can affect RFID? Table 4- 16 Interference sources: Causes and remedies Interference source Cause Remedy Switched-mode power supply Interference emitted from the current infeed Replace the power supply Interference injected through the cables connected in series Cable is inadequately shielded Better cable shielding The reader is not connected to ground.
RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-17 Equipotential bonding (EBS = Equipotential bonding strip) 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.
RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-18 Cable shielding 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.
RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-20 Interruption of shielded cables If intermediate connectors, which do not have a suitable shield connection are used, the shield must be continued by fixing cable clamps at the point of interruption. This ensures a large-area, HF-conducting contact.

Transponder 7.1 Overview 7.1.5 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.
Transponder 7.1 Overview 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.
Transponder 7.1 Overview 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.
Transponder 7.1 Overview 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. ① ② Antenna RF615A, RF620A, RF640A, RF642A, RF650A or RF680A Transponder Figure 7-5 Suboptimal transponder alignment Note Exceptions The suboptimal transponder alignment does not apply to the transponders RF625T and RF630T. You will find additional information on this in the sections dealing with the transponders.
Transponder 7.1 Overview 7.1.5.2 Effects of the materials of the mounting surfaces on the range Effects due to antenna mounting For the RF640A, RF642A, RF650A, RF660A and RF680A antennas, the antenna gain and therefore the maximum read/write range does not depend on the selected material of the mounting surface. In contrast to this, the antenna gain of the RF615A and RF620A antennas and therefore the maximum read/write range of transponders depends on the mounting surface of the antenna.
