Mounting on metal
Direct mounting of the MDS D139/D339 on metal is not allowed. A distance of ≥ 30 mm is
recommended. This can be achieved using spacers (see "Ordering data (Page 303)").

Flush-mounting
It is possible to mount the MDS D139/D339 in metal. With large antennas, for example ANT
D5, this leads to a reduction of ranges.

Note
Going below the distances
If the distances (a and h) are not observed, a reduction of the field data results. It is possi
ble
to mount the MDS with metal screws (M5). This has no tangible impact on the range. It is
recommended that a test is performed in critical applications.
8.13.4
Cleaning the mobile data memory
Note
Do not clean the transponder with mechanical tools, sand
-blasting or pressure hose. These
cleaning methods result in damage to the transponder.
Clean the transponder only with the cleaning agents listed in the section "Chemical
resistance of the MDS".

contour.
The mounting instructions of the MDS and the conditions associated with the application
(e.g. peripheral speed, temperature, and use of coolant) must be observed during
the
installation.
Mounting information for adhesion
● Drill installation hole
● The adhesive surfaces must be dry, free from dust, oil, stripping agents and other
impurities
● Apply adhesive according to the manufacturer's processing instructions
● Press in transponder using your fingers; with antenna side to the outside (see figure
above)
● Remove residues of adhesive
● Allow to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions

The MDS should not protrude out of the locating hole; it must be flush with the outside
contour.
The mounting instructions of the MDS and the conditions associated with the application
(e.g. peripheral speed,
temperature, and use of coolant) must be observed during the
installation.

Installation instructions
The transponder MDS D522 special version is designed to be mounted once.
Note the following instructions when mounting the MDS D522 in a workpiece to avoid
damaging the transponder:
● Prepare the workpiece according to the following drawing.
● Using the accompanying mounting aid, press the transponder with uniform and evenly
distributed pressure into the drilled hole until the transponder locks in place. Make sure
that the transponder does not become tilted.

Going below the distances
If the distances (a and h) are not observed, a reduction of the field data results. It is possible
to mount the MDS with metal screws (M3 countersunk head screws). This has no tangible

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 7 ASMs can be operated on each ET 200M.
Error messages and operating statuses are indicated by LEDs.
Since there is electrical isolation between the read/write device and the SIMATIC S7-300
bus, a configuration that is immune to interference is possible.

The ASM 475 with the article number 6GT2002-0GA10 is a module that can be set in the
parameters. 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 block FB 45.
ASM 475 and FB 45 form a unit that is used for reading the data of the MDS simply and at
optimal speed.

You can identify the error code in different ways:
● Directly on the reader/interface module by counting the flashing pattern of the red error

● In the Ident profile with the output variable "Status"
● with FB 45 / FB 55 variable "error_MOBY".

Overview
Extended diagnostic functions with SIMATIC RF300
With SIMATIC RF300, extended diagnostics 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
Counter values are deleted.
All counter values are deleted after reading out (= execute
"SLG STATUS" command).
Explanations:
● "FZP": counts interference pulses when communication with a transponder is not taking
place (e.g. electromagnetic interference caused by contactors, motors, etc.). Counter
values can, however, also be generated when a transponder 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-transponder communication. This can be caused by unsuitable
reader/transponder positioning (e.g. transponder on field boundary, several transponders
in the antenna field) or external EMC 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.
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
communications module and the reader. Faults of this type can be caused by contact
problems on the connector or the cable connection.

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.
MDS STATUS (mode 1), corresponds to UDT 260 (only for RF300 transponders)

Note
Counter values are deleted.
All counter values are deleted when the transponder exits the antenna field or when the
antenna is switched off.
Explanations:
● "LFD" is a measured value for the field strength that is determined in the transponder.
The lower the value, the higher the field strength.
● "FZP" counts interference 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.
MDS STATUS (mode 03), corresponds to UDT 230

lock_state byte 0 ... FF Lock state, OTP information:
One bit is used per block (4 x 4 bytes or 2 x 8 bytes)
(bit = 1: block is locked)

locked,
e.g. for the Philips SL2 ICS20 (MDS D124, D160 or

This chip provides a usable memory with 112 bytes
EEPROM from address 0000 - 006F (total OTP area
"0060 ... 006F"). In this memory, the locked area corre-
sponds to the addresses 0060 ... 0063 or 0060 ... 0067
