All switched inductances are a frequent source of interference in plants.  Suppression of inductance Relays, contactors, etc. generate interference voltages and must therefore be suppressed using one of the circuits below. Even with small relays, interference voltages of up to 800 V occur on 24 V coils, and interference voltages of several kV occur on 230 V coils when the coil is switched. The use of freewheeling diodes or RC circuits prevents interference voltages and thus stray interference on conductors installed parallel to the coil conductor. 9DOYHV%UDNHV5HOD\FRLOV&RQWDFWRUV Figure 4-13  Suppression of inductance    Note All coils in the cabinet should be suppressed. The valves and motor brakes are frequently forgotten. Fluorescent lamps in the control cabinet should be tested in particular.

If the plant components are connected across signal cables, transient currents flow across the signal cables. These transient currents can corrupt the signals. Proper equipotential bonding is thus essential.  •  The equipotential bonding conductor must have a sufficiently large cross section (at least 10 mm2). •  The distance between the signal cable and the associated equipotential bonding conductor must be as small as possible (antenna effect). •  A fine-strand conductor must be used (better high-frequency conductivity). •  When connecting the equipotential bonding conductors to the centralized equipotential bonding strip, the power components and non-power components must be combined.  3RZHUVXSSO\3/&(8(8(8'ULYH,QFRUUHFW,QFRUUHFW&DELQHW &DELQHW Figure 4-14  Equipotential bonding 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 device faults.

The best shielding is achieved by installing the cables in steel tubes. However, this is only necessary if the signal cable is routed through an environment prone to particular interference. It is usually adequate to use cables with braided shields. In either case, however, correct connection is vital for effective shielding.   Note An unconnected or incorrectly connected shield has no shielding effect.  As a rule: •  For analog signal cables, the shield should be connected at one end on the receiver side •  For digital signals, the shield should be connected to the enclosure at both ends •  Since interference signals are frequently within the HF range (> 10 kHz), a large-area HF-proof shield contact is necessary   Figure 4-15  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.

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.  6KLHOGWXUQHGXSVLGHGRZQWKURXJKrDQGFRQQHFWHGWRFRQQHFWRUKRXVLQJ5XEEHUVOHHYH Figure 4-17  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.
 RF 300 System Manual, 05/2005, (4)J31069 D0166-U001-A1-7618, --  5-1 Readers  5The reader ensures inductive communication with the transponders, and handles the serial connection to the communication modules/interface modules and 8xIQ-Sense module.  Communication between the transponder and reader takes place over inductive alternating fields.  The transmittable data volume between reader and transponder depends on: •  the speed at which the transponder moves through the transmission window of the reader. •  the length of the transmission window. •  the transponder type (FRAM, EEPROM).

If a transponder moves into the transmission field 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 control unit, which also manages the various memories.

Active surface See active field 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 memory Mobile data memories which operate without batteries. Power is supplied to the data memory across an electromagnetic alternating field. CE mark Communauté Européenne (product mark of the European Union) Data transmission rate Unit of measurement for the volume of data transmitted within a unit of time, e.g. bytes/s 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.
Glossary    RF 300 Glossary-2  System Manual, 05/2005, (4)J31069 D0166-U001-A1-7618, -- 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. 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  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. IQ-Sense interface Simple interface on the IQ-Sense module, using a standard design for all types of sensors, enabling integrated data exchange between the sensor and control system. Limit distance The limit distance is the maximum clear distance between the upper surface of the read/write device and the transponder, at which the transmission can still function under normal conditions. 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 memory (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.
 Glossary RF 300 System Manual, 05/2005, (4)J31069 D0166-U001-A1-7618, --  Glossary-3 Programmable logic controller (PLC) The programmable logical controllers (PLCs) of the SIMATIC S5 systems 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 Reader/writer See write/read device 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. 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. Static mode In static mode, the transponder is positioned at a fixed distance (maximum: limit distance) exactly over the read/write device.  Telegram cycles The transfer of a read or write command takes place in three cycles, known as telegram 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 memory) Transmission window Area in which reliable data exchange between transponder and read/write device is possible due to a particular minimum field strength.
