It operates based on the UHF Class 1 Gen 2 technology and is used to save the "Electronic Product Code" (EPC) of 96 bits/128 bits. The transponder also has a 512-bit user memory. Fields of application are industrial asset management, RF identification of tools, containers and metallic equipment. The Disk Tag is small and rugged and suitable for industrial applications with degree of protection IP68. It is highly resistant to oil, grease and cleaning agents. Ideally, the SIMATIC RF625T is mounted directly on a flat metal surface of at least 150 mm diameter where it achieves a typical sensing distance of 1.5 m.

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[LV6TXDUH0HWDOFDUULHU&LUFXODUPHWDOFDUULHUSODWHr Figure 7-27 Optimum positioning of the transponder on a (square or circular) metal plate Table 7- 16 Reading range on flat metallic carrier plates Carrier plate material Reading range Metal plate of at least Ø 150 mm 100 % Metal plate Ø 120 mm Approx. 70 % Metal plate Ø 85 mm Approx. 60 % Metal plate Ø 65 mm Approx. 60 % On rectangular carrier plates, the reading range depends on the mounting orientation of the transponder You will find more detailed information on reading ranges in the section "Electrical data (Page 324)".

Non-compliance with the permitted temperature ranges while using the transponder can lead to ignitions of gas-air or dust-air mixtures. NOTICE Damage to the surface of the housing The values specified for the IP x9K test are maximum values and must not be applied continuously. Protracted loading of the transponder can lead to damage to the surface of the housing due to high pressures. 7.8.6.5 Chemical resistance of the RF640T transponder The following table gives an overview of the chemical composition of the data memory made from polyamide 12.
