Selection criteria for SIMATIC RF200 components
Assess your application according to the following criteria, in order to choose the right
SIMATIC RF200 components:
● Static or dynamic data transfer
● Data volume to be transferred
● Speed in case of dynamic transfer
● Ambient conditions such as relative humidity, temperature, chemical impacts, etc.
4.1.2
Transmission window and read/write distance
The reader generates an inductive alternating field. The field is strongest close to the reader;
however, a read/write distance of "zero" between reader and transponder is not
recommended.
The strength of the field decreases in proportion to the distance from the reader. The
distribution of the field depends on the structure and geometry of the antennas in the reader
and transponder
A prerequisite for the function of the transponder is a minimum field strength at the
transponder, which is still barely achieved at distance Sg from the reader.

4.1 Fundamentals of application planning
From the diagrams above, it can also be seen that operation is possible within the area
between Sa and Sg. The active operating area reduces as the distance increases, and
shrinks to a single point at distance Sg. Only static mode should thus be used in the area
between Sa and Sg.

Width of the transmission window
Determining the width of the transmission window
The following approximation formula can be used for practical applications:
% y/
B:
Width of the transmission window
L:

Tracking tolerances
The width of the transmission window (B) is particularly important for the mechanical tracking
tolerance. The formula for the dwell time is valid without restriction when B is observed.

Operation in static mode
If working in static mode, the transponder can be operated up to the limit distance (Sg). The
transponder must then be positioned exactly over the reader:

Note
Note that in a metallic environment the values for the limit distance are reduced.
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.

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.
The dwell time is calculated thus:

4.1 Fundamentals of application planning
The dwell time can be of any duration in static mode. The dwell time must be sufficiently long
to allow communication with the transponder.
The dwell time is defined by the system environment in dynamic mode. The volume of data
to be transferred must be matched to the dwell time or vice versa. In general:
tv ≥ tK
4.1.7
tV::
Dwell time of the data memory within the field of the reader
tK:
Communication time between transponder and communication module
Communication between communication module, reader and transponder
Communication between the communication module, reader and transponder takes place
asynchronously through the RS422 interface. Depending on the communication module
(ASM) used, transfer rates of 19200 baud, 57600 baud or 115200 baud can be selected.
Calculation of the communication time for interference-free transfer
The communication time for fault-free data transfer is calculated as follows:
tK = K + tByte ⋅ n
(n >1)
If the transmission is interrupted briefly due to external interference, the reader automatically
continues the command.
Calculation of the maximum amount of user data
The maximum amount of user data is calculated as follows:
tk:
Communication time between communication module, reader and transponder
tv:
Dwell time
n:
Amount of user data in bytes
nmax:
Max. amount of user data in bytes in dynamic mode
tbyte:
Transmission time for 1 byte
K:
Constant; the constant is an internal system time. This contains the time for power
buildup on the transponder and for command transfer

In dynamic mode, the values for K and tbyte are independent of the transmission speed. The
communication time only includes the processing time between the reader and the
transponder and the internal system processing time of these components. The
communication times between the communication module and the reader do not have to be
taken into account because the command for reading or writing is already active when the
transponder enters the transmission field of the reader.
The values shown above must be used when calculating the maximum quantity of user data
in dynamic mode. They are applicable for both writing and reading.

Impact of secondary fields
Secondary fields in the range from 0 mm to 30% of the limit distance (Sg) generally always
exist.
They should only be used during configuration in exceptional cases, however, since the
read/write distances are very limited. Exact details of the secondary field geometry cannot be
given, since these values depend heavily on the operating distance and the application.
When working in dynamic mode, remember that during the transition from the secondary
field to the main field the presence of the tag is lost temporarily. It is therefore advisable to
select a distance > 30% of Sg.

Note
Effect on inductive fields by not maintaining the minimum distances of the readers
If the values fall below those specified in the "Minimum distance from reader to reader" table,
there is a risk of the function being affected by inductive fields. In this case, the data transfer
time would increase unpredictably or a command would be aborted with an error.
Adherence to the values specified in the "Minimum distance from reader to reader" table is
therefore essential.
If the specified minimum distance cannot be complied with due to the physical configuration,
the SET-ANT command can be used to activate and deactivate the HF field of the reader.
The application software must be used to ensure that only one reader is active (antenna is
switched on) at a time.

4.3.1
Overview
The transponder and reader complete with their antennas are inductive devices. Any type of
metal in the vicinity of these devices affects their functionality. Some points need to be
considered during planning and installation if the values described in the "Field data
(Page 28)" section are to retain their validity:
● Minimum spacing between two readers or their antennas
● Minimum distance between two adjacent data memories
● Metal-free area for flush-mounting of readers or their antennas and transponders in metal
● Mounting of multiple readers or their antennas on metal frames or racks
The following sections describe the impact on the operation of the RFID system when
mounted in the vicinity of metal.

Reduction of interference due to metal
Interference due to metal rack
0HWDOUDFN
Problem
1RQPHWDOOLFVSDFHU
A metal rack is located above the
transmission window of the reader.
This affects the entire field. In
particular, the transmission window
between reader and transponder is
reduced.

Flush-mounting
Flush-mounting of transponders and readers
Problem
1RQPHWDOOLFVSDFHU
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.
[!PP
PP
The transponder and/or reader are
10 to 20 mm higher than the metal
surround.
5HDGHU
(The value x ≥ 100 mm is valid, for
example, for RF260R. It indicates
that, for a distance x ≥ 100 mm, the
reader can no longer be significantly
affected by metal.)
Remedy:
Increase the non-metallic distance
a, b.
The following rule of thumb can be
used:
5HDGHU
•
Increase a, b by a factor of 2 to 3
over the values specified for
metal-free areas
•
Increasing a, b has a greater
effect for readers or
transponders with a large limit
distance than for readers or
transponders with a small limit
distance.

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.

Introduce one or more iron struts in order to shortcircuit the stray fields.
Insert a non-metallic spacer of 20 to 40 millimeter
thickness between the reader and the iron frame. This
will significantly reduce the induction of stray fields on
the rack:

Effects of metal on different transponders and readers
Mounting different transponders and readers on metal or flush-mounting
Certain conditions have to be observed when mounting the transponders and readers on
metal or flush-mounting. For more information, please refer to the descriptions of the
individual transponders and readers in the relevant section.
4.3.4
Impact of metal on the transmission window
In general, the following points should be considered when mounting RFID components:
● Direct mounting on metal is allowed only in the case of specially approved transponders.
● Flush-mounting of the components in metal reduces the field data; a test is
recommended in critical applications.
● When working inside the transmission window, it should be ensured that no metal rail (or
similar part) intersects the transmission field.
The metal rail would affect the field data.
The impact of metal on the field data (Sg, Sa, L) is shown in a table in this section. The
values in the table describe the reduction of the field data in % with reference to non-metal
(100% means no impact).

4.3 Installation guidelines
4.3.5
Installation and connection of 2 to 6 antennas with one reader
If several antennas need to be operated on one reader, this can be achieved by using the
antenna splitter or the antenna multiplexer RF260X.
Note that the antenna splitter is a purely passive device that splits the power at the input to
two outputs and therefore halves it. This is possible both in PC mode (RS-232) and CM
mode (RS-422). You can cascade the antenna splitters in such a way that up to 4 antennas
can be connected at the same time.
The antenna multiplexer RF260X works only in PC mode (RS-232) in time division multiplex
mode. This means that each antenna operates with full power for a certain time before the
device moves on automatically to the next antenna. The antenna multiplexer normally
operates in scan mode or buffered read mode which add the information about the antenna
number to the reply of the transponder. With the antenna multiplexer, you can connect up to
6 antennas.

4.3.5.2
Antenna installation
Configuring instructions
The antenna installation described below enables detection of transponders moving
horizontally through the installation. Depending on the installation (antennas exactly opposite
each other or offset in parallel), the label is aligned in parallel with the antennas or arbitrarily.
The size of the sensing range depends on the label alignment:
Note
Remember that the entire acquisition range of the antenna is larger than the transmission
window in which the transponder is normally configured. This means there can be label
alignments where even labels outside the transmission window will be identified. Labels
aligned in parallel with the antennas, for example, can also be detected at larger distances
beside or outside the antenna range.
For this reason, goods with labels must not be stored within a distance of up to 0.5 m from
the installation. If this cannot be complied with, the antennas must be shielded.
To achieve three-dimensional detection of the labels in the sensing range, the following
requirements must be met:
• The gate width must be less than or equal to 800 mm.
• The antenna size of the labels should be at least the size of an ISO card (85 mm x 54
mm).
• The distance from label to label must be greater than 100 mm. The distance from label to
label can be reduced if the gate width is correspondingly reduced. This applies especially
for distances under 50 mm.
• There should be no more than 16 labels within the sensing range of the antennas at the
same time.
The number of labels can be increased if the gate width is correspondingly reduced and
the maximum speed suitably adapted.
• The maximum speed of the labels must not exceed 1 m/s. (This depends on the number
and alignment of the labels, the number of data blocks to be processed, the data protocol
required and the label type).
• To the front and sides of the antenna, there must be a distance of more than 150 mm to
metal parts.
• There must be no interference to the write/read device from other electrical equipment in
the surrounding area.
Note
The RF290R reader is not capable of multitag operation in the CM mode.

Installation information
The cables on the antennas and the antenna splitter are 3.3 m or 10.5 m long. The
write/read device must be installed in the vicinity of the antennas. If there are greater
distances between the write/read device and the antennas, the antenna cable can be
increased by 7.2 m with the extension (6GT2 691-0DH72). This results in shorter ranges.

Metal-free space
To guarantee perfect functioning of the individual installation versions, all larger metal parts
in the vicinity of the antennas must be removed.

Metal-free space, view from above (based on the example of a tunnel arrangement on a

Metal in the vicinity of the antennas
If metal in the vicinity of the antennas cannot be avoided, the following must be noted:
● There must be a minimum allround gap of 100 mm between the antenna and metal.
Serious loss of sensing range must be expected above 50 mm. There is no discernible
influence at distances greater than 150 mm from the metal.
● The influence of the metal depends heavily on its size and shape. Thin metal rods have
less influence on the magnetic field than large surfaces.
● Larger metal surfaces (edge length > 50 mm) in parallel with the antennas or labels result
in a short-circuit of the magnetic lines of force. As a result, the labels cannot be read.
● Metal parts under the conveyor belt change the direction of the magnetic lines of force.
Serious loss of sensing range must be expected as a result. Horizontally aligned labels
cannot be read in such cases.
● The metal parts must not form closed loops or circuits. If necessary, these must be
electrically interrupted at one point.

RF200 system planning
4.3 Installation guidelines
● The metal parts in the immediate vicinity of the antenna must be grounded in a mesh with
a good HF connection.
● Since the write/read device is installed in a metal housing, and the antennas can couple
into the cables to the write/read device, it must be installed at a distance of at least 500
mm from the antennas.
Notes on installing and laying the antenna cable
To suppress possible interference, an EMC hinged ferrite choke must be fitted to the
antenna cables (as well as the antenna cable between the reader and the antenna splitter).
The coaxial cable must be wound tightly at least four times through the EMC ring core. The
maximum distance between the connecting plug for the reader or the antenna splitter and
the ring core must be 100 mm.
The antenna cable must always be run vertically from the antennas. A minimum distance of
200 mm to the antennas must be observed as the cables continue. Otherwise, performance
losses must be expected.
There must be a distance of at least 300 mm between antenna cables and parallel power
cables.
Unrequired cable length must be secured in a bundle with a diameter of 100 to 150 mm.
If the standard antenna cable is too short, it can be increased by 7.20 m with the extension.
Slight range losses must be expected here.
To achieve optimal read ranges, the antenna cable should not be shortened or lengthened.

Installation options with the antenna multiplexer (2-6 antennas)
You can operate up to six antennas on one reader via the multiplexer.
The data is processed sequentially.
Antenna switchover is performed in time-multiplex mode, so by connecting several antennas
together, the processing time / activation time per antenna is lengthened accordingly.

Digital output (DO):
At the relay output, a NO contact is available. The output is electrically isolated from the
reader electronics and therefore needs to be supplied externally.
NOTICE
Reader may be damaged
If you exceed the maximum permitted voltage of 24 V / 1 A at the relay output, the reader
may be damaged. Make sure that the voltage does not exceed 24 V.
The output is intended only for switching resistive loads. If it is used to switch inductive
loads, the reader may be damaged. Make sure that if inductive loads occur, the relay
contacts are protected by an external suppressor circuit.

The antenna splitter is a power distributor with electrical isolation between the input (IN) and
the two outputs (OUT1, OUT2). At the operating frequency of 13.56 MHz, the impedance at
all inputs and outputs is 50 ohms.
The device is used to connect 2 to 4 antennas to a reader. Gate, C and tunnel arrangements
are therefore possible (see section "Configuration options").

Principle of operation
You can operate up to six antennas on one reader by using the multiplexer RF260X. The
data is processed sequentially.
Antenna switchover is performed in time-multiplex mode, so by connecting several antennas
together, the processing time / activation time per antenna is lengthened accordingly.

If a longer antenna cable is required between the RF290R and SIMATIC RF260X
multiplexer, a 7.2 m long cable (e.g. 6GT2691-0DH72) must be used to extend it, see
Ordering data (Page 113).
The excess length must then be rolled up bifilar and fastened to minimize interference
from external sources.

Parameterization
Parameter settings can be performed using the tool "RF290R-Set" (V9.5.2).
This tool is primarily used for parameterization and commissioning, and is not designed for
productive operation.
The relevant parameters of the RF260X can be set in the "Configuration" menu under
"SystemParameters > CFG15: Antenna Multiplexing" ①
Figure 7-3
Menu "Configuration" MOBYDSet"
● For operation with RF260X, you need to activate the "Multiplexing" function ②.
● The number of occupied channels must be specified under "Number of Output Channels"
②.
● In "Multiplexer Valid Times" ③, the maximum time available for the antenna to read a
transponder is entered. Following this time, the device switches to the next antenna
automatically. If the read was successful, the time may be significantly shorter than
specified here.

Note
Changing the parameter assignment
• Note that if you change the parameter settings of the reader or the RF260X in scanner
mode, this may lead to frame collisions. These collisions result when the frame is sent
while a transponder is present.
• The "Transponder response time" (setting: "CFG2: COM interface") during operation of
the RF260X must be higher than the total delay time for all the connected antennas
(CFG15: MUX-VALD-TIME × Number of Output Channels ≤ Transponder Response
Time)
7.2.8
RF260X commands
Using the tool "RF290R-Set" (V9.5.2), certain commands can also be sent to the RF260X. In
the "Commands" menu under "RF260X", the following commands can be sent:
● Detect (detection of the RF260X by the reader)
● Channel Select (set to a static channel)
● CPU-Reset (restart the RF260X software)
● Software Version (read out software and hardware versions)

Glossary
Automation system (AS)
A programmable logical controller (PLC) of the SIMATIC S7 system, comprising a central
controller, a CPU and various I/O modules.
Battery-free data storage unit
Mobile data storage units which operate without batteries. Power is supplied to the data
storage unit across an electromagnetic alternating field.
Byte
A group of eight bits forms a byte
CE marking
CommunautĂŠ EuropĂŠenne (product mark of the European Union)
Communication modules
Communication modules ensure the integration of the MOBY and SIMATIC RF identification
systems into SIMATIC, SINUMERIK, SIMOTION, PROFIBUS, PROFINET and TCP/IP.
Once supplied with the corresponding parameters and data, they handle data
communication. They then make the corresponding results and data available.
Corresponding software blocks (FBs/FCs for SIMATIC) guarantee simple and quick
integration into the application.
Data transmission rate
Unit of measurement for the volume of data transmitted within a unit of time, e.g. bytes/s
Detection area
Area with minimum field strength containing the transmission window, as well as the areas in
which the field strength is no longer sufficient for data exchange.
Dwell time
The dwell time is the time in which the transponder dwells within the transmission window of
a read/write device. The read/write device can exchange data with the transponder during
this time.

Dynamic mode
In dynamic mode, the data carrier moves past the read/write device at a traversing rate
which depends on the configuration. Various checking mechanisms (listen-in check, CRC,
ECC, etc.) ensure error-free data transfer even under extreme environmental conditions. A
serial connection (up to 1000 m) is used to connect the read/write device directly to an
interface module, PC, or any other system.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of an electrical or electronic device to operate
satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment without affecting or interfering with the
environment over and above certain limits.
EMC Directive
Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility This guideline relates to any electrical or
electronic equipment, plant or system containing electric or electronic components.
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. It is necessary to compensate for these
differences by equipotential bonding: this is done by combining the equipotential bonding
conductors of power components and non-power components on a centralized equalizing
conductor.
ESD Directive
Directive for handling ESDs.
Frequency hopping
Frequency hopping technique Automatic search for free channels.
In frequency hopping, data packets are transferred between the communication partners on
constantly changing carrier frequencies. This makes it possible to react to interference from
devices transmitting signals in the same frequency range. If an attempt to send a data
packet is unsuccessful, the packet can be transmitted again on a different carrier frequency.
Interface modules (ASM)
See communication modules
Limit distance
The limit distance (Sg) is the maximum clear distance between the upper surface of the
read/write device and the transponder at which transmission still functions under normal
conditions.

Lx
Length of a transmission window in the x direction
Ly
Length of a transmission window in the y direction
Centerpoint of a field of a transmission window
Metal-free area
Distance/area which must be maintained between the transponder and metal in order to
prevent interference during data transfer between the transponder and read/write device.
Mobile data storage units (MDS)
See transponder
Multi-tag capability
Multi-tag capability means the ability to use several read/write devices which communicate
simultaneously with different data carriers.
Programmable logic controller (PLC)
The programmable logic controllers (PLC) of the SIMATIC S5 system consist of a central
controller, one or more CPUs, and various other modules (e.g. I/O modules).
Read/write devices (SLG)
See readers
Read/write distance
See transmission distance
Readers
Readers ensure fast, secure data transfer between mobile data storage units and higherlevel systems (PLCs, PCs, etc.). The data, energy included, are transmitted inductively
across an electromagnetic alternating field or by radio. This principle enables contact-free
data transmission, ensures high industrial compatibility and works reliably in the presence of
contamination or through non-metallic materials.

RFID systems
SIMATIC RF identification systems control and optimize material flow and production
sequences. They identify reliably, quickly and economically, use non-contact data
communication technology, and store data directly on the product. They are also resistant to
contamination.
Sa
Operating distance between transponder and reader
Secondary fields
The strength of the secondary fields, which exist in addition to the transmission window, is
usually lower than that of the transmission window and depends on the metallic environment.
Secondary fields should not be used in configuring.
Sg
See limit distance
Static mode
In static mode the transponder is positioned at a fixed distance (maximum: limit distance)
exactly above the read/write device.
Tag
See transponder
Telegram cycles
The transfer of a read or write command takes place in three cycles, known as message
frame cycles. 1 or 2 bytes of user data can be transferred with each command. The
acknowledgement transfer (status or read data) takes place in 3 further cycles.
Transmission distance
Distance between communication module (read/write device) and transponder (mobile data
storage unit)
Transmission window
Area in which reliable data exchange between transponder and read/write device is possible
due to a particular minimum field strength.

Transponder
An invented word from transmitter and responder. Transponders are used on the product,
the product carrier, the object, or its transport or packaging unit, and contain production and
manufacturing data, i.e. all application-specific data. They follow the product through
assembly lines, transfer and production lines and are used to control material flow.
Because of their wireless design, transponders can be used, if necessary, at individual work
locations or manufacturing stations, where their data can be read and updated.
Transponders consist predominantly of logic, FRAM and/or EEPROM.
If a transponder moves into the transmission window of the reader, the necessary power for
all of the circuit components is generated and monitored by the power supply unit. The
pulse-coded information is prepared in such a way that it can be processed further as pure
digital signals. The handling of data, including check routines, is performed by the logic,
which also manages the various memories.
