The RFID system SIMATIC RF200 is, thanks to its compact and low-cost reader, particularly suitable for use in industrial production in the areas of small assembly lines and intralogistics.
With RF200, identification tasks of medium-performance in the HF range (13.56 MHz, ISO 15693) can be implemented extremely cost effectively. RF200 readers can be operated with all ISO transponders of the product range of MOBY D (MDS Dxxx).
The communication modules that can be used for all MOBY and SIMATIC RF systems (ASM 456, ASM 475, SIMATIC RF1xxC) are available for connecting to SIMATIC S7-300, PROFIBUS, PROFINET and TCP/IP (XML).
The SIMATIC RF200 identification system offers the following features:
- 13.56 MHz operating frequency (operation according to ISO 15693).
- Passive (without battery), maintenance-free transponder (MDS Dxxx) with memory capacities up 2000 byte FRAM.
- Rugged, compact components with IP67 degree of protection.
- Simple integration in SIMATIC, PROFIBUS, PROFINET and TCP/IP with the help of tried and tested function blocks (FC44, FC45, FB45).
The RFID system SIMATIC RF200 is primarily used for non-contact identification of containers, pallets and workpiece holders where the demands on performance (data transmission rate, memory volume) satisfy the ISO 15693 standard.
The main application areas for SIMATIC RF200 are:
- Assembly and handling systems, assembly lines (identification of workpiece carriers), especially small assembly lines.
- Production logistics (material flow control, identification of containers and other vessels), intralogistics.
- Parts identification (the transponder is attached to the products or pallets).
- Conveyor systems (e.g. suspended monorail).
- Price-optimized and compact, space-saving components.
- Operation with the attractively priced and battery-free ISO 15693 transponders of MOBY D for low investment and operating costs.
- Flexible and economic solutions thanks to the complete and scalable portfolio for the field of industrial identification.
- Simplified engineering, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance through seamless integration into Totally Integrated Automation:
- Integrated bus connection to an automation system, such as SIMATIC, SIMOTION or SINUMERIK, via communication modules with PROFIBUS and PROFINET
- Simple S7 software integration via ready-to-use function blocks
- High degree of investment protection thanks to:
- Open ISO 15693 standard
- Software compatibility between the RFID systems of Siemens AG
- Standardized communications interfaces.
- Openness through connection possibilities to different bus systems from different manufacturers and PC environments via communication modules.
- Worldwide Service and Support.
