The communication modules (interface modules) are links between the RFID components
(reader and transponder) and the higher-level controllers (e.g. SIMATIC S7), or PCs or
computers.
8.2 Introduction
RF310R, RF340R, RF350R and RF380R readers are connected to the controller via the
following interface/communication modules:
● ASM 452
● ASM 456
● ASM 473
● ASM 475
● RF170C
● RF180C
● RF182C
● 8xIQ-Sense
Function blocks, interface modules/communication modules and readers
Function blocks are used for integration into the SIMATIC. Using these, the input parameters
are transferred to the reader using the "init_run"(RESET) command.
You can find more detailed information on the software parameterization in Product
Information "FB 45 and FC 45 input parameters for RF300 and ISO transponders"
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/33315697) or the Function Manual FB
45 (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/21738808) from edition A3

8.3 ASM 452
8.3.1 Features
Area of application
The ASM 452 interface module is a MOBY module for operating MOBY and RF300
components with RS422 over PROFIBUS DP-V1 on
● Any computers and PCs
● Any PLCs
When operating the interface module on a SIMATIC S7, function blocks are made available
to the user.
Figure 8-1 Interface module ASM 452
The ASM 452 is the result of consistent development of the familiar ASM 450/451 interface
modules. Optimal data throughput can be achieved even in large-scale PROFIBUS
configurations thanks to the use of acyclic data traffic on PROFIBUS DP V1. The minimum
cyclic data load of the ASM 452 on the PROFIBUS provides the user with the guarantee that
other PROFIBUS nodes (e.g. DI/DO) can still be processed at great speed.
The ASM 452 is an interface module for communication between PROFIBUS and the
RF310R with RS422 interface. Through the ASM 452, the data on the RF300 transponder
can be physically addressed ("Normal" addressing). In SIMATIC S7, FC 45 is available for
this purpose.

8.5.1 Features
Field of application
The ASM 473 interface module is an RF300 module for SIMATIC S7. It can be plugged into
the ET 200X distributed I/O station and DESINA. ET 200X is operated by the user over
PROFIBUS DP V1. An S7-300 or S7-400 with integrated PROFIBUS connection can be
used as the controller.
ASM 473 supplements the SIMATIC S7 interface module ASM 475. The IP67 degree of
protection means that it can be installed and operated in the process without the need for an
additional protective housing.
To operate the ASM 473, an ET 200X basic module BM 141/142 with the order number
6ES7141-1BF11-0XB0 or 6ES7142-1BD21-0XB0 or a BM 143 is required.
The transponder data are accessed by means of physical addressing of the transponder.
For operation in a SIMATIC S7, the function FC 45 is available. The hardware of the ASM
473 is configured with an object manager (OM) that is integrated in the SIMATIC Manager.
Figure 8-11 Interface module ASM 473
Other features:
● Up to 7 ASM 473 interface modules can be operated simultaneously in an ET 200X
station.
● Any other I/O modules from the ET 200X spectrum can be operated with the ASM 473.

Depending on the PROFIBUS master, up to 123 ET 200X modules can be run on one
PROFIBUS branch.
Hardware configuration
The ASM 473 is integrated in the hardware configuration of the SIMATIC Manager by calling
Setup.exe in the directory daten\S7_OM on the "RFID Systems Software & Documentation"
CD. Currently, the ASM 473 cannot be integrated in masters of other manufacturers.
Reader connection system
A reader always occupies the two M12 connection sockets X3 and X4 on the ASM 473. A
prefabricated cable makes it easy to connect the reader. The standard version of the
connecting cable is 2 m in length. Other cable lengths are available on request.
For customers who want to assemble their own cables, an ASM cable connector with screw-

8.6.1 Features
Area of application
The ASM 475 interface module acting as the link between all RF300 systems and SIMATIC
S7-300 performs the functions of a communication module. It can be operated centrally in
the S7-300 or decentrally in an ET200M.
As many as eight ASM 475 interface modules can be plugged into one SIMATIC S7-300
rack and operated. In a configuration with several racks (max. four), the ASM 475 can be
plugged into and operated on any rack. This means that as many as 32 ASMs can be
operated in the maximum configuration of a SIMATIC S7-300. The ASM can also be
operated in the ET 200M distributed I/O on PROFIBUS. Operation in an S7-400 environment
is therefore problem-free. Up to 8 ASMs can be operated on each ET200M.
Error messages and operating states are indicated by LEDs.
A configuration that is resistant to interference is possible due to electrical isolation between
the read/write device and the SIMATIC S7-300 bus.
Figure 8-17 Interface module ASM 475
The ASM 475 with the order number 6GT2002-0GA10 is a parameterizable module. The
basic functions of the module are then already specified when the module is configured in
HW Config (e.g. standard addressing).
The data in the MDS is accessed direct by means of physical addresses using the ASM 475.
Operation in a SIMATIC S7 is controlled by the function FC 45.
ASM 475 and FC 45 form a unit that is used for reading the data of the MDS easily and at
optimal speed.

8.10.5 Addressing
The address range of the 8xIQ-Sense module is 16 bytes I/O.
This is independent of the choice of channel profiles on the connected device
(i.e. the IQ profile IDs in HW Config).
Access to memory areas
A direct association exists between the number of the channel to which the IQ-Sense device
is connected (terminal) and the input and output data area of the module. Based on the
address range, the following addresses can be used to access the memory areas:
Address = module initial address + (channel no. x 2)
Example
Module initial address = 280
I/O address for channel 3: 286

9.2.1 Overview
Extended diagnostic functions with SIMATIC RF300 @ FB 45-Tabellen müssen noch hier reinverlinkt
werden
With SIMATIC RF300, extended diagnostic functions are available which simplify
commissioning and maintenance.
This diagnostics data is accessed using the SIMATIC function blocks via the SLG Status and
MDS Status commands. These two commands can each be called in various modes
(subcommands) for which corresponding data structures (UDTs) are defined.

Note
All counter values are reset after reading (= SLG STATUS command executed).
Explanations:
● "FZP": Counts interference pulses when communication is not taking place with a
transponder. (e.g. EMC interference caused by contactors, motors, etc.). However,
counter values can also be generated when a tag is located at the edge of the field even
when there is no external interference.
● "ABZ", "CFZ", "SFZ" and "CRCFZ" are counters for protocol errors which may occur
during reader-tag communication. This can be caused by unsuitable reader/tag
positioning (e.g. tag on field boundary, several data carriers in the field) or an external
electromagnetic interference.
To ensure clear diagnosis of the quality of communication, it is recommended that an SLG
STATUS command (mode 06) is executed following receipt of the presence command to
reset the error counter.

9.2 Diagnostics functions
SIMATIC RF300
System Manual, 11/2009 - Zwischenstand 17.09.2009, A5E01642529-04 251
The protocol error counters are not mutually independent. If a code error (CFZ) occurs, this
will cause a signature (SFZ) or CRC- (CRCFZ) error.
● "BSTAT" is the status for the most recently executed command. A value other than 0
means that the previous command was repeated by the reader due to faults (see above).
● "ASMFZ" signals line-conducted communication interference between the communication
module (ASM) and the reader. Faults of this type can be caused by contact problems on
the connector or the cable connection.
9.2.3 Transponder diagnostics with MDS Status
The MDS STATUS command can be used to scan the status and diagnostics data of the
transponder that is located within the antenna field.

Note
All counter values are reset when the tag exits the field or when the antenna is switched off.
Explanations:
● "LFD" is a value for the field strength that is determined in the transponder. The lower the
value, the higher the field strength.
● "FZP" counts fault pulses when communication with a transponder is not taking place
(e.g. electromagnetic interference caused by contactors, motors, etc.). Counter values
can also be generated when a transponder is located at the edge of the field even when
there is no external interference.
● "FZA" counts errors that can occur during reader-to-transponder communication. This can
be caused by unsuitable reader/transponder positioning (e.g. transponder on field
boundary, several data carriers in the field) or external electromagnetic interference.
● "ANWZ" is the value for the time that the transponder remains in the field before the MDS
STATUS command (mode 02) is executed. A time step is 10 ms. The maximum time that
can be recorded is therefore 2.5 s.
