Reference system
The half-power beam width of the antenna is defined by the angle between the two -3 dB
points (corresponding to half the power referred to the maximum power). 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.

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.

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)).

Connecting an antenna to the reader
The SIMATIC RF642A 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.
Strain relief
The antenna cable is provided with strain relief as shown in the following diagram:

Since the RF642A antenna has linear polarization, it is necessary to consider the alignment
of the transponders with regard to the polarization axis of the antenna.
The polarization axes of antenna and transponder must always be parallel. The symbol on

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 RF642A 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 RF642A 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) with an antenna gain of
7 dBi
The antenna must be commissioned by qualified personnel. Antennas with a gain >6 dBi
may be commissioned, as long as the effective radiated power of 4000 mW EIRP
(36 dBm EIRP) is not exceeded.
To comply with FCC and IC-FCB requirements, 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 (≤ 7 dBi)
• Cable loss ak dB (≥ 1 dB)
P(dBm) ≤ 30 dBm - (Gi - 6 dBi) + ak

points (corresponding to half the power referred to the maximum power). Which range (in %)
corresponds to the dB values in the patterns can be obtained from this table .
Note that the measurements presented graphically below were carried out in a low-reflection
environment. Deviations can therefore occur in a normally reflecting environment.

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 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).

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 up to 2000 mW ERP
(or 33 dBm ERP, 3250 mW EIRP, 35 dBm EIRP).

6.5 RF660A antenna
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 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 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 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

points vertically up or down.
The radiating/receiving angle of the antenna is defined by the angle between the two -3 dB

7.1 Overview
7.1.2
Mode of operation of transponders/tags
The tag/transponder mainly comprises a microchip with an integral memory and a dipole
antenna.
The principle of operation of a passive RFID transponder is as follows:
● Diversion of some of the high-frequency energy emitted by the reader to supply power to
the integral chip
● Commands received from reader
● Responses are transmitted to the reader antenna by modulating the reflected radio
waves (backscatter technique)

Mode of operation of transponders
The transmission ranges achieved vary in accordance with the size of the tag and the
corresponding dipole antenna. In general the following rule applies: The smaller the tag and
therefore the antenna, the shorter the range.
7.1.3
Transponder classes and generations
The transponder classes are distinguished by the different communication protocols used
between the reader and transponder. Transponder classes are mostly mutually incompatible.
The following transponder classes are supported by the RF 600 system:
● EPC Global Class 1 Gen 2 with full EPC Global Profile (ISO 18000-6C)

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) :

● 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.

Transponder characteristics when rotated orthogonally to the polarization axis (within the
tag plane)
If the transponder is positioned orthogonally to the transmitting antenna, it normally cannot
be read. Therefore the data carrier is preferably to be aligned parallel to the transmitting
antenna. The following figure illustrates this situation.

Reading range when mounted on flat metallic carrier plates
The transponder generally has linear polarization. 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.

The use of spacers on metallic surfaces is therefore recommended.
On rectangular carrier plates, the reading distance depends on the mounting orientation of
the transponder A 90° rotation of the transponder about the axis of symmetry may result in
greater reading distances
7.5.3.5
Influence of conducting walls on the reading range
If there are conducting walls or restrictions in the vicinity that could shade the radio field, a
distance of approx. 10 cm is recommended between the transponder and the wall In
principle, walls have least influence if the polarization axis is orthogonal to the conducting
wall. A spacer must be used in any case.

Reading range when mounted on ESD carrier materials
The transponder is generally designed for mounting on non-conductive objects which
provide the conditions for the maximum reading ranges The conductive or dissipativesurface
of ESD materials limits the reading range depending on the surface resistance. Generally,
dissipative materials with a surface resistance of 1 x 105 to 1 x 1011 ohm and conductive
materials with 1 x 103 to 1 x 105 ohm are available.

Figure 7-22
Schematic representation of how the reading range depends on the surface resistance of the ESD material
In the representation above, the two reading points with regard to the dependence of the
reading range in % on the surface resistance are shown At the same time a linear
dependence between the reading points is to be expected, however with measurement
inaccuracies. The darker the hatching, the greater the probability that the reading point is
found in the hatched area.

Communication with multiple transponders
The RF600 system is multitag-capable. This means that the reader can detect and write to
several transponders almost simultaneously. The minimum distance between the
transponders is ≥ 50 mm.

Mounting instructions
CAUTION
Level mounting
Please note that both the transponder and the spacer must be mounted on a level surface.
CAUTION
The screw fixing element was tested with the types of screws, spring washers and plain
washers indicated below. Depending on the application area, the user must use similar,
correspondingly certified screws, spring washers and plain washers (e.g. for the food
processing industry).
EJOT screws can be additionally etched and passivated in some areas of the food
processing industry, e.g if they made of stainless steel A2. In other areas without special
requirements, the screws can be, for example, zinc plated and blue passivated.
Note
In case of high mechanical loads (such as shocks or vibration), the transponder must be
fixed onto the spacer by means of screws.
