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.
Antennas 6.3 Antenna RF640A SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 05/2012, J31069-D0171-U001-A13-7618 227 The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi/dBic value and a second dBi/dBic value. Deviation from maximum antenna gain [dBr] Read/write range [%] 0 100 -3 70 -6 50 -9 35 -12 25 -15 18 -18 13 Example As can be seen in Directional radiation patterns in the ETSI frequency band (Page 218), the maximum antenna gain in the vertical plane is 3.45 dBi (6.45 dBic). In this plane, and with the polarization axis of the transponder parallel to the axis of symmetry of the antenna, the antenna gain drops to about 0.5 dBic at +50° or 310°. Therefore the dBr value is -6. The antenna range is only 50% of the maximum range at + 50° or 310° 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 (Page 218) and the associated representation of the reference system (Page 217)). 6.3.8 Technical data Table 6- 12 General technical specifications RF640A Feature SIMATIC RF640A Dimensions (L x W x H) 185 x 185 x 45 mm Color Pastel turquoise PA 12 (polyamide 12) Material Silicone-free Frequency range 865 to 928 MHz Plug connection 30 cm antenna connection coaxial cable with RTNC coupling, fixed connection to antenna An antenna cable is required for connection to the reader, e.g.: 6GT2815-0BH30 Max. radiated power according to ETSI • RF620R, RF630R: < 610 mW ERP • RF640R, RF670R: ≤1300 mW ERP Max. radiated power according to CMIIT • RF620R, RF630R: ≤650 mW ERP • RF640R, RF670R: ≤ 1300 mW ERP Max. radiated power according to FCC • RF620R, RF630R: ≤ 1070 mW EIRP • RF640R, RF670R: ≤2700 mW EIRP

Deviation from maximum antenna gain [dBr] Read/write range [%] 0 100 -3 70 -6 50 -9 35 -12 25 -15 18 -18 13 Example As can be seen in Directional radiation pattern in the ETSI frequency band (Page 241), the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal plane is 6 dBi. In this plane and with the parallel polarization axis at +70° or 300°, the antenna gain dropped to about 0 dBi. Therefore the dBr value is 6. The antenna range is only 70° of the maximum range at + 50° or +300° from the Z axis within the horizontal plane (see values shown in red in the directional radiation pattern: Characteristic of the vertical plane of the antenna and the associated representation of the reference system). 6.4.9 Technical data Table 6- 17 General technical specifications RF642A Feature SIMATIC RF642A Dimensions (L x W x H) 185 x 185 x 45 mm Color Pastel turquoise PA 12 (polyamide 12) Material Silicone-free Frequency range 865 to 928 MHz Plug connection 30 cm coaxial cable with RTNC coupling An antenna cable is required for connection to the reader, e.g.: 6GT2815-0BH30

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 RF620R/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 6.5.5 Parameter settings of RF660A for RF640R/RF670R Operation within the EU, EFTA, or Turkey 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 RF660A 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 RF660A antenna gain of 7 dBi (9 dBic) and the cable loss associated with the antenna cable (see table (Page 251)), the radiated power of the reader is correctly configured and the radiated power at the antenna is not exceeded.

Enhanced compliance with global standards. 7.1.4 Electronic Product Code (EPC) The Electronic Product Code (EPC) supports the unique identification of objects (e.g. retail items, logistical items or transport containers). This makes extremely accurate identification possible. In practical use, the EPC is stored on a transponder (tag) and scanned by the reader. There are different EPC number schemes with different data lengths. Below is the structure of a GID-96-bit code (EPC Global Tag Data Standards V1.1 Rev. 1.27) : +HDGHU (3&0DQDJHU 2EMHFW&ODVV 6HULDO1XPEHUELW ELW ELW ELW34 ● Header: This identifies the EPC identification number that follows with regard to length, type, structure and version of the EPC ● EPC manager: This identifies the company/corporation ● Object class: Corresponds to the article number ● Serial number: Consecutive number of the article The Siemens UHF transponders are all suitable for working with EPC and other number schemes. Before a transponder can work with a number scheme, the relevant numbers must first be written to the transponder.

The polarization axis runs as shown in the diagram below. If the tag is centrically mounted on a flat metal plate, which may either be almost square or circular, it can be aligned in any direction since the transmitting and receiving RF660A antennas operate with circular polarization. 3RODUL]DWLRQD[LV6TXDUHPHWDOVXSSRUW&LUFXODUPHWDOFDUULHUSODWHr Figure 7-20 Optimum positioning of the transponder on a (square or circular) metal carrier plate Table 7- 11 Reading range with metallic, plane carriers without spacer Carrier plate material Reading range Metal plate at least 300 x 300 mm Typ. 3 m Table 7- 12 Reading range with metallic, plane carriers with spacer Carrier plate material Reading range Metal plate at least 300 x 300 mm Typ. 7 m The use of spacers on metallic surfaces is therefore recommended.
