operation without a cover of dust.
The device may only be operated in such a way that adequate protection against UV
light is ensured.
The device may not be operated in areas influenced by processes that generate high
electrostatic charges.
The device must be installed so that it is mechanically protected.
The grounding of the plug (8-pin) on the reader must be via its supply cable.
The device may only be operated with accessories specified or supplied by the
manufacturer. All the points above also apply to the accessories (cables and
connectors) and to the antennas (exception: the housing of ANT 1 does not need to be
installed with impact protection).
The device sockets incl. the metal parts of the connecting cable must have a shrink-on
sleeve pulled over them, in other words, all metal parts apart from the securing sockets
of the housing must be fully covered and be inaccessible.
After disconnecting the connections (antenna cable, signal/supply cable), before the
plugs are inserted again, they must be checked for contamination and if necessary
cleaned.

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.

Note
Use of the antennas in hazardous areas
The antennas ANT 1, ANT 12, ANT 18 and ANT 30 are approved for use in hazardous
locations. For more information, refer to the section "
Use of the reader in hazardous areas
(Page
163)".
ANT 1
The ANT 1 is an antenna in the mid performance range and can be used to the customer's
advantage in production and assembly lines due to its manageable housing shape. The
antenna dimensions make it possible to read/write large quantities of data dynamically
from/to the transponder during operation. The antenna cable can be plugged in.
ANT 3
The ANT 3 is designed for use in small assembly lines. The extremely compact design of the
antenna allows extremely accurate positioning. The antenna cable can be plugged in.
ANT 3S
Due to its slimline and compact design, the ANT 3S can still be precisely positioned in
cramped conditions. Areas of application are, for example, tool identification. The antenna
cable can be plugged in.
ANT 8
The ANT 8 is primarily envisaged for tool identification applications. The extremely small
design of the antenna allows extremely accurate positioning. The antenna cable can be
connected at the reader end and screwed to the antenna.
The antenna ANT 8 has currently only been tested and released for use in conjunction with
the mobile reader RF350M and the reader RF350R - second generation.
ANT 12
The ANT 12 is primarily envisaged for tool identification applications. The very small size of
the antenna means that highly exact positioning is possible using the plastic nuts included in
the scope of delivery. The antenna cable can be plugged in.
ANT 18
The ANT 18 is designed for use in small assembly lines. Due to its small, compact
construction, the antenna can be easily positioned for any application using two plastic nuts
(included in the package). The antenna cable can be connected at the reader end.

Features of the RF300 transponders
The RF300 transponders (RF3xxT) stand out particularly for their extremely fast data
exchange with the RF300 readers (RF3xxR). With the exception of the RF320T transponder,
all of the RF300 transponders have 8 to 64 KB of FRAM memory, which has an almost
unlimited capacity for reading and writing.

Memory configuration of the RF300 transponders
1) Physically identical memory When the OTP area is used, the corresponding user area (FF00-FF13) can no longer
be modified (read only).

7.1 Memory configuration of the RF300 transponders
SIMATIC RF300
System Manual, 07/2017, C79000-G8976-C345-07 235
EEPROM area
The memory configuration of an RF300 transponder always comprises an EEPROM that has
20 bytes for user data (read/write) and a 4-byte unique serial number (UID, read only). For
reasons of standardization, the UID is transferred as an 8 byte value through a read
command to address FFF0 with a length of 8. The unused 4 high bytes are filled with zeros.
Note
Write speed
The EEPROM user memory (address FF00
-FF13, or FF80-
FF90) requires significantly more
time for writing (approx. 11 ms/byte) than the high
-speed FRAM memory. For time-critical
applications with
write functions, it is advisable to use FRAM transponders (e.g. RF330T,
RF340T, RF350T, RF360T, RF370T, RF380T).
FRAM area
Depending on the tag type, high-speed FRAM memory is available. (8 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB).
This area does not exist for the RF320T.
In the case of RF3xxT transponders with FRAM memory, the data carrier initialization
command (INIT) is only effective on this memory area but not on the EEPROM area (FF00-
FF13).
OTP area
The EEPROM memory area (address FF00-FF13) can also be used as a so-called "OTP"
memory (One Time Programmable). The 5 block addresses FF80, FF84, FF88, FF8C and
FF90 are used for this purpose. A write command to this block address with a valid length (4,
8, 12, 16, 20 depending on the block address) protects the written data from subsequent
overwriting.
Note
Seamless use of the OTP area
When the OTP area is used, it must be ensured that the blocks are used starting from Block
0 consecutively.
Examples:
3 blocks (with write command), Block 0, 1, 2 (FF80, length = 12): valid
2 blocks (consecutive), Block 0 (FF80, length =4), Block 1 (FF84, length = 4): valid
2 blocks (consecutive), Block 0 (FF80, length =4), Block 2 (FF88, length = 4): Invalid
1 Block, Block 4 (FF90, length = 4): Invalid

Configuring instructions
7.8.4.1
Temperature dependence of the transmission window
The guidelines in the section "Planning the RF300 system" apply to configuration of heat-
resistant data memories, with the exception of the limit distance and field length at
temperatures above 85 °C. At temperatures above 85 °C, the length of the transmission
window is reduced by up to 10%.
7.8.4.2
Temperature response in cyclic operation
At ambient temperatures (Tu) up to 110 °C, cyclic operation is not necessary, i.e. up to this
temperature, the transponder can be in constant operation.
Note
Calculation of the temperature curves
Calculation of the temperature curves or of a temperature prof
ile can be carried out on
request by Siemens AG. Exact knowledge of the internal temperature facilitates
configuration for time
-critical applications.
You can also carry out the calculation with the aid of the "SIMATIC RF Temperature
Calculator" on the "Id
ent Systems Software & Documentation" DVD (refer to the section
"
DVD "Ident Systems Software & Documentation" (Page 435)").
Ambient temperatures > 110 °C
Note
Cancellation of warranty
The internal temperature of the data memory must not exceed the critical threshold of 110
°C. Each heating phase must be followed by a cooling phase. No warranty claims will
otherwise be accepted.
Some limit cycles are listed in the table below:

The internal temperature of the tag follows an exponential function with which the internal
temperature and the operability of the tag can be calculated in advance. This is particularly
relevant to temperature-critical applications or those with a complex temperature profile.
Ambient temperatures > 220°C
Note
Cancellation of warranty
The data memory must not be exposed to ambient temperatures > 220 °C. No warranty
claims will otherwise be accepte
d.
However, the mechanical stability is retained up to 230 °C!

Features of the ISO transponders
The transponders (MDS D) that are compatible with ISO 15693 represent a cost-effective
alternative to RF300 transponders. The performance that can be achieved with this
(transmission speed, memory size), however, is considerably less than with RF300
transponders.
You will find more information on transmission speeds in the section "Communication
between communications module, reader and transponder (Page 50)".

System Manual, 07/2017, C79000-G8976-C345-07 277
Memory areas
Depending on the manufacturer of the transponder chip, the memory configuration of an ISO
transponder consists of varying sizes of user memory.
The typical sizes are 112 bytes, 256 bytes, 992 bytes EEPROM or 2000 bytes FRAM. Each
ISO transponder chip has an 8-byte long unique serial number (UID, read only). This UID is
transferred as an 8 byte value through a read command to address FFF0 with a length of 8.
OTP area
For the OTP area, a 16-byte address space is always reserved at the end of the memory
area. The blocks are divided up depending on the chip (see technical specifications). Note
that the corresponding addresses for the user data are therefore not available to the
application when the OTP area is used.
A total of 4 block addresses ("mapped" addresses) are provided:
FF80
FF84
FF88
FF8C
A write command to this block address with a valid length (4, 8, 12, 16 bytes depending on
the block address) protects the written data from subsequent overwriting.
Note
Exception Fujitsu chip (MDS D4xx and MDS D5xx)
The Fujitsu chip MB89R118 (MDS D4xx) has 8
-byte blocks, which means that only 2 block
addresses have to be addressed: FF80 and FF88 with the length 8 and 16 bytes).
The Fujitsu chip MB89R112 (MDS D5xx) has 32 byte blocks
and can therefore not be
addressed in the OTP area.
Note
Restriction to the use of the OTP
Observe the following restrictions when using OTP:
The OTP write/lock command can only be sent in static operation.
The OTP write/lock command can not be sent as a chained command.
The Fujitsu chip MB89R112 (MDS D5xx) has 32 byte blocks and can therefore not be
addressed in the OTP area.
Note
Use of the OTP area is not reversible
If you use the OPT area, you cannot undo it, because the OPT area can only be wri
tten to
once.

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 441)").

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.

Figure 8-15 Flush-mounting of the MDS D139/D339 in metal with spacer
Note
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 (M5). This has no tangible impact on the range. It is
recommended that a test is performed in critical applications.
8.7.4
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 chemical cleansing agents listed in Chapter
Chemical
resistance of the readers and transponders
(Page 97).
