Features of the RF300 reader
The reader provides inductive communication with the transponders and serial connection to
the communications modules.
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 used (RF300- / ISO 15693- (MDS D)/ ISO 14443 transponder (MDS
E)),
● the memory type (FRAM, EEPROM; with RF300 transponders).
ISO 15693 functionality
With all readers of the RF300 family, you can use ISO 15693 transponders. Note that the
readers for RF300, ISO 15963 or ISO 14443 operation must have parameters assigned. The
parameter assignment done with the aid of the RESET frame (INIT-Run).
For more detailed information on software parameter assignment refer to the manuals.
● Function manual "Ident profile and Ident blocks
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/106368029)",
● Product Information "FB 45 and FC 45 input parameters for RF300 and ISO transponders

ISO 14443 functionality
With all readers of the second generation of the RF300 family, you can use ISO 14443
transponders. The RF300 readers of the second generation therefore replace the MOBY E
readers SLG 72 and SLG 75. Note that the readers for RF300, ISO 15963 or ISO 14443
operation must have parameters assigned. The parameter assignment done with the aid of
the RESET frame (INIT-Run).
The following commands are supported in ISO 14443 operation of the readers:
● READ
● WRITE
● MDS-STATUS (mode 3)
● INIT
● REPEAT
Special ISO 14443 commands such as "INCREMENT", "DECREMENT" or "SET-VALUE"
are not supported.

Orientation of fields of the SIMATIC RF382R Scanmode
For many applications it may be best to operate the reader so that the tags move from left to
right (or from right to left) at a certain distance in front of the narrow edge of the reader. With
this direction of movement, the horizontal reader field is used, see figure below.
You also have the option of moving the tags up and down (or down and up) past the narrow
edge of the reader. With this direction of movement, uses the vertical reader field is used.

System Manual, 07/2016, C79000-G8976-C345-0x 185
Maximum field strength
The reader creates the maximum field approximately 13 mm below the upper reader edge.
For the largest possible reading range the tags you want to read should move in this range.
This applies regardless of whether the horizontal or the vertical field is used.

The area of the maximum field strength and, therefore, the maximum range is identified by a
laser icon:
