SIMATIC RF625T
7.6.1
Characteristics
The SIMATIC RF625T transponder is a passive, maintenance-free data carrier with a round
design. 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.

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 maximum read range of 100 % is achieved by mounting the transponder on a flat metallic
carrier with a diameter of at least 150 mm.
You will find more detailed information on reading ranges in the section "Electrical data
(Page 324)".
7.6.3.4
Influence of conducting walls on the reading range
If there are conducting walls or restrictions in the vicinity that could affect the radio field, a
distance of approx. 10 cm is recommended. In principle, walls have least influence if the
polarization axis is orthogonal to the wall.

Ideally, align the data carrier parallel with the transmitting antenna or the reader. If the data
carrier including the (metallic) carrier plate is tilted, the reading range will be reduced. The
following diagrams show the effects on the reading range depending on the carrier material
and the angle of inclination of the transponder.

Reduction of range to about 70% at the band limits 902 MHz or 928 MHz; acquisition is guaranteed at 915 MHz due to
frequency hopping procedure.

When these minimum clearances are not kept to, there is a reduction in the maximum possible read and write ranges of
the transponders.

Characteristics
The SIMATIC RF630T transponder is a passive (i.e. battery-free) and maintenance-free,
cylindrical data carrier. It operates based on the UHF Class 1 Gen 2 technology and is used
to save the "Electronic Product Code" (EPC) of 96 bits/240 bits. The transponder also has a
512-bit user memory.
Application areas include the mounting of metallic components (e.g. engine assembly in the
automobile industry) as well as RF identification of tools, containers and metal frames.
The RF630T is small and rugged and suitable for industrial applications with IP68/IPX9K
degree of protection. It is highly resistant to oil, grease and cleaning agents.
The SIMATIC RF630T is mounted directly onto metal surfaces to ensure optimum
functioning and its typical detection range is 1.5 m.

Optimum antenna/transponder positioning with plane mounting of the transponder on
metal
The maximum reading range is achieved when the reader antenna is positioned at right
angles to the mounting surface. In the case of parallel mounting directly above the
transponder, detection is not possible.
Positioning of the RF660A antenna in combination with the RF670R/RF630R reader
The RF670R and RF630R reader can operate with an RF660A antenna which can be

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 centrally 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.

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 vertical to the conducting wall.

WARNING
Ignitions of gas-air mixtures
When using the RF640T transponder, check to ensure that the temperature class is
observed in respect of the requirements of the area of application
Non-compliance with the permitted temperature ranges while using the transponder can
lead to ignitions of gas-air mixtures.
WARNING
Ignitions of gas-air mixtures
The maximum transmitting power of the transmitter used to operate the transponder must
not exceed 2 W.
Non-compliance with the permissible transmitting power can lead to ignitions of gas-air
mixtures.
7.8.3.8
Use of the transponder in hazardous areas for dusts
The equipment is suitable for dusts whose ignition temperatures for a dust layer of 5 mm are
higher than 210 °C (smoldering temperature). With the ignition temperature specified
according to IEC 61241-0 and IEC 61241-11 according to the type of ignition protection iD,
the smoldering temperature of the dust layer is referenced in this case.

Use of the transponder in the Ex protection area
TÜV NORD CERT GmbH, appointed center no. 0044 as per Article 9 of the Directive
94/9/EC of the European Council of 23 March 1994, has confirmed the compliance with the
essential health and safety requirements relating to the design and construction of
equipment and protective systems intended for use in hazardous areas as per Annex II of

The essential health and safety requirements are met in accordance with standards
EN 60079-0: 2009, EN 60079-11: 2007 and IEC 61241-11: 2006.
This allows the RF640T transponder to be used in hazardous areas for gases, for the device
category 2 G and equipment group IIC, or alternatively in hazardous areas for dusts, for the
device category 2 D and equipment group IIIB.
NOTICE
Readability of the serial number on the type plate
When using the transponder, make sure that the serial number can be read. The serial
number is lasered and can be hidden by paint or other materials making it illegible.
The customer is responsible for making sure that the serial number of a transponder for the
hazardous area can be read at all times.

Note
Transponder labeling
The labeling of the front of the transponder shown above is an example and can vary
between batches produced at different times.
This does not affect the hazardous area marking.
Temperature class delineation for gases
The temperature class of the transponder for hazardous atmospheres (gases) depends on
the ambient temperature and the radiated power of an antenna in the 865 - 868 MHz
frequency band within the hazardous area.
WARNING
Ignitions of gas-air mixtures
When using the RF640T transponder, check to ensure that the temperature class is
observed in respect of the requirements of the area of application
Non-compliance with the permitted temperature ranges while using the transponder can
lead to ignitions of gas-air mixtures.
WARNING
Ignitions of gas-air mixtures
The maximum transmitting power of the transmitter used to operate the transponder must
not exceed 2 W.
Non-compliance with the permissible transmitting power can lead to ignitions of gas-air
mixtures.
Temperature class assignment for gases and a radiated power less than 100 mW ERP
If the radiated power of an antenna radiating into the hazardous area or located in the
hazardous area and operating in the 865 - 868 MHz frequency band cannot exceed the
value 100 mW, the temperature class assignment is as follows:
