Comment
This cable has an 8-pin M12 connector at one end and the other cable end is 'open'. There
are 8 color-coded single cores there for connecting to external devices. There are different
cable lengths in the product range (3 m to 50 m). Long cables can be reduced if necessary.
Note
For long cables: Adapt supply voltage and data rate accordingly
Note that with long cables in particular, the supply voltage of 24 V DC must always be
applied. Note also that the data rate on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced.
(See "Configuration Manual RF620R/RF630R")

Planning application
5.1.2.1
Minimum mounting clearances of two readers
The RF620R has a circular polarized antenna. At 500 mW ERP radiated power, due to the
opening angle of the antennas, their fields can overlap considerably. It is no longer possible
to clarify in which antenna field access to the data of a tag is performed.
In order to avoid this, always keep a minimum distance of 3 m between two readers with the
maximum radiated power of 500 mW ERP.

Dense Reader Mode (DRM)
The readers can also interfere with each other (secondary fields), if the channels (Reader
TX, Transponder TX) overlap. In order to prevent a transponder channel overlapping with a
reader channel, we recommend that the Dense Reader Mode (DRM) is used.

Antenna diagram for RF620R (ETSI)
The following radiation diagrams show the directional radiation pattern of the internal
antenna of the RF620R (ETSI) reader. For the spatial presentation of the directional
characteristics, the vertical plane (Azimuth section) as well as the horizontal plane (elevation
section) must be considered. This results in a spatial image of the directional radiation
pattern of the antenna with its main and auxiliary fields.

5.1.2.4
Interpretation of directional radiation patterns
The following overview table will help you with the interpretation of directional radiation
patterns.
The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can
read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation
patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with
regard to a transponder.
The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi value and a second
dBi value.

Example
As one can see from the section Antenna diagram for RF620R (ETSI) (Page 100), the
maximum antenna gain is 0 dB. In the Azimuth diagram, the antenna gain falls by 3°dB at
approximately ¹ 39°. Therefore the dBr value is -3. The antenna range is only 50% of the
maximum range at ¹ 39° from the Z axis within the horizontal plane.
5.1.2.5
Antenna/read point configurations
The RF620R reader has an internal circular polarized antenna. You can cover one read point
with this antenna. When several RF620R readers are used, the readers are addressed via
the SIMATIC level.

Note
LED not lit yellow?
If the LED does not light up yellow even though a tag is located within the field, common
causes are:
• Incorrect configuration in the init_run command, or init_run command was not executed
(see "Configuration Manual RF620R/RF630R")
• Parameter assignment is incorrect (black list, RSSI threshold)
• Antenna is switched off
• A tag is used, that is not compatible with the reader protocol (EPC Global Class 1 Gen 2).
• Tag is defective
• Reader or antenna has a defect
• Tag is not in the field of radiation of the transmit antenna

Comment
This cable has an 8-pin M12 connector at one end and the other cable end is 'open'. There
are 8 color-coded single cores there for connecting to external devices. There are different
cable lengths in the product range (3 m to 50 m). Long cables can be reduced if necessary.
Note
For long cables: Adapt supply voltage and data rate accordingly
Note that with long cables in particular, the supply voltage of 24 V DC must always be
applied. Note also that the data rate on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced.
(See "Configuration Manual RF620R/RF630R")
5.2.1.5
Grounding connection
The RF630R can be electrically connected to the ground potential through a contact washer.
The tightening torque must be increased in this case to ensure that electrical contact is made
(2.7 Nm).
WARNING
Hazardous voltage due to lightning strikes
Death or serious injury may occur as a result of lightning strikes to antennas mounted
outside buildings.
If the reader is operated with antennas mounted outside buildings, it is imperative that the
reader is electrically connected to the ground potential.

Planning application
5.2.2.1
Minimum mounting clearances of two antennas of different readers
At 500 mW ERP radiated power, due to the opening angle of the antennas, their fields can
overlap considerably. It is no longer possible to clarify in which antenna field access to the
data of a tag is performed.
In order to avoid this, always keep a minimum distance of 3 m between two antennas of
different RF630R readers with the maximum radiated power of 500 mW ERP.
Dense Reader Mode (DRM)
The readers can also interfere with each other (secondary fields), if the channels (Reader
TX, Transponder TX) overlap. In order to prevent a transponder channel overlapping with a
reader channel, we recommend that the Dense Reader Mode (DRM) is used.
5.2.2.2
Antenna/read point configurations
You can connect up to two external antennas to the RF630R reader. The standard setting is
that two antennas are connected when the reader is started.
You have 3 possibilities for aligning the antennas and covering the read point.

One RF630R reader with two antennas and two read points
If you connect two external antennas to the device and align them in different directions, you
can read tags at two different read points. With this technique, a particular antenna must be
switched off application-dependently to be able to establish which tags have been read from
which antenna. Note the minimum distances between the antennas for the antenna
configuration (see section Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas (Page 45)
One RF630R reader with two antennas and one read point
If you connect two external antennas to the device and align them in the same direction
(portal configuration), you can read tags at one read point. With this method, the reader
automatically switches between the two antennas while the tags are being read. Note the
minimum distances between the antennas for the antenna configuration (see section
Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas (Page 45) .

CAUTION
Emitted radiation
The transmitter complies with the requirements of Health Canada and the FCC limit values
for subjecting persons to HF radiation, provided that a minimum spacing of 26 cm exists
between antenna and person. When the antennas are installed, you must therefore ensure
that a minimum spacing of 26 cm is maintained between personnel and antennas.
Mounting/installing the device
You can mount the reader directly onto a flat surface.
The positions of the fixing holes for the device are shown in the section Dimension drawings
(Page 129).
5.2.4
Configuration/integration
The RS422 system interface is provided for integrating the device into system

Interpretation of directional radiation patterns
The following overview table will help you with the interpretation of directional radiation
patterns.
The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can
read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation
patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with
regard to a transponder.
The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi value and a second
dBi value.

Example
As one can see from the Auto-Hotspot, the maximum antenna gain is -5 dBi. In the vertical
plane, the antenna gain has dropped to approx. -11 dBi at +40° and 320°. Therefore the dBr
value is -6. The antenna range is only 50% of the maximum range at ¹ 40° from the Z axis
within the vertical plane (see values shown in blue in the directional radiation pattern:
characteristic of the vertical plane of the antenna and the associated representation of the
reference system).

Read/write ranges
The following tables show the typical read/write ranges of RF600 readers which are
connected to the RF620A antenna via the 3 m antenna cable (1 dB loss) and various types
of tags.

Tolerances

VESA 100 mounting system
A standardized VESA 100 mounting system is provided to mount the antenna. The mounting
system consists of four fixing holes for M4 screws at intervals of 100 mm.
This is therefore suitable for:
● Mounting on metallic and non-metallic backgrounds
Note
To achieve optimum wave propagation, the antenna should not be surrounded by
conducting objects. The area between antenna and transponder should also allow wave
propagation without interference.

Connecting an antenna to the reader
The SIMATIC RF640A antenna must be connected to the reader using an antenna cable.
Preassembled standard cables in lengths of 3 m, 10 m, and 20 m are available for the
connection.
The range of the antenna is limited by the cable loss. The maximum range can be achieved
with the cable 6GT2815-0BH30 (length 3 m), since this has the lowest cable loss.
Requirement
Note
Use of Siemens antenna cable
To ensure optimum functioning of the antenna, it is recommended that a Siemens antenna
cable be used in accordance with the list of accessories.

Parameter settings of RF640A for RF620R/RF630R
Operation within the EU, EFTA, or Turkey according to EN 302 208 V1.3.1
NOTICE
Limitation of the radiated power according to EN 302 208 V1.3.1
RF600 systems that are put into operation within the EU, EFTA, or Turkey (ETSI) can be
operated with an RF640A antenna with a maximum radiated power of up to 2000 mW ERP
(or 33 dBm ERP, 3250 mW EIRP, 35 dBm EIRP).
By adjusting the transmit power of up to 500 mW ERP (or 27 dBm ERP, 800 mW EIRP,
29.15 dBm EIRP) and taking into account the RF640A antenna gain of 4 dBi (6 dBic) and the
cable loss associated with the antenna cable (see table), the radiated power of the antenna
cannot be exceeded. You can make the power settings using the "distance_limiting"
parameter. You will find more detailed information on the parameters in the section
Parameter assignment manual RF620R/RF630R
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/33287195).
Operation in China
The national approval for RF600 systems in China requires a cap of 2000 mW ERP (or
33 dBm ERP, 3250 mW EIRP, 35 dBm EIRP). The possible combination of antenna gain,
cable loss, and max. 500 mW radiated power of the RF630R reader means it is not possible
to exceed 2000 mW ERP (or 33 dBm ERP, 3250 mW EIRP, 35 dBm EIRP).

Operation in the USA, Canada
NOTICE
Limitation of the radiated power to 4000 mW EIRP (36 dBm EIRP)
So that the FCC and IC-FCB requirements are met, the radiated power may not exceed
4000 mW EIRP (36 dBm EIRP). Therefore the system must satisfy the following relation:
• Conducted power P dBm of the RF600 reader (< 30 dBm)
• Antenna gain Gi dBi in the FCC frequency band (≤ 4.3 dBi)
• Cable loss ak dB (≥ 1 dB)
P(dBm) ≤ 30 dBm - (Gi - 6 dBi) + ak

NOTICE
Limitation of the radiated power according to EN 302 208 V1.3.1
RF600 systems that are put into operation within the EU, EFTA, or Turkey (ETSI) can be
operated with an RF640A antenna with a maximum radiated power of 2000 mW ERP (or 33
dBm ERP, 3250 mW EIRP, 35 dBm EIRP).
By adjusting the radiated power of up to 1300 mW ERP (or 31.15 dBm ERP,
2140 mW EIRP, 33.3 dBm EIRP), the RF640A antenna gain of 4 dBi (7 dBic) and the cable
loss associated with the antenna cable (see table), the radiated power of the reader is
correctly configured and the radiated power at the antenna is thus not exceeded.
Operation in China
By setting a max. radiated power of 1300 mW ERP (or 31.15 dBm ERP, 2140 mW EIRP,
33.3 dBm EIRP), the RF640A antenna gain of 4.3 dBi (7.3 dBic) and the cable loss
associated with the antenna cable (see table), the radiated power of the reader is correctly
configured.

The half-power beam width of the antenna is defined by the angle between the two -3 dB
points. Which range (in %) corresponds to the dB values in the patterns can be obtained
from this table (Page 226).
Note that the measurements presented graphically below were carried out in a low-reflection
environment. Deviations can therefore occur in a normally reflecting environment.
