Technical Data RF240R – Short Form
Remarks: The RF240R manual does not yet exist, even in German language. The
RF240R manual, once completed, will contain detailed information about field-data,
range for certain tags, and information about how to implement the RF240R in a
production site with communication modules. This detailed information may not be much
relevant for RF240R FCC approval.
Below given are short system overview and technical data which are required in order to
run the RF240R for testing and to check the reader’s function.
RF200 System overview
SIMATIC RF200 is an inductive identification system, based on the standard ISO 15693,
which was specially designed for industrial production for controlling and optimization
material flow.
Contrary to SIMATIC RF300, SIMATIC RF200 is designed for RFID applications for
lower demands on performance (data volume, data transfer speed, diagnostics).
SIMATIC RF200 is an entry-level RFID system.
Component Description
Communication Modules Integration of an RFID Identification system into a PLC (e. g. SIMATIC S7) is
achieved by a communications module.
Reader The reader achieves the communication with the tag and provides the tag
with energy by the reader’s magnetic field. The reader also interfaces to
various modules (i.e. SIMATIC S7 via ASM 475).
Tag The RFID-tag stores all data relevant for production and is used as a
substitute for optical barcode-tags.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada. L'utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée
seulement aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur du dispositif doit être prêt à accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
