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. These transponders with limited service life are ideally suited to high-temperature applications (e.g. the painting of vehicle bodies) as well as applications in production logistics. The RF680T is rugged and suitable for industrial applications with IP68/IPX9K degree of protection. It is highly resistant to oil, grease and cleaning agents. The SIMATIC RF680T is mounted directly onto metal and non-metal carrier plates to ensure optimal operation and has a typical detection range of 4 m. SIMATIC RF680T transponder Features Application Applications with high temperatures (up to +220 °C) Typical application areas: ⢠Paint shops and their preparatory treatments, incl. drying ovens ⢠Electrophoretic deposition area ⢠Primer coat incl. drying oven ⢠Top coat area incl. drying oven ⢠Washing areas at temperatures > 85 °C Frequency range 865 ... 928 MHz (ETSI and FCC) Air interface according to ISO°18000-6C Polarization Linear Temperature range up to 220 °C Memory EPC 96 bit/240 bit Add-on-memory 64 bytes Reading / writing range typically 3 m in conjunction with: ⢠RF640R/RF670R reader and ⢠RF660A antenna typically 3.6 m in conjunction with: ⢠RF640R with integrated antenna Typically 1.4 m/2 m in connection with: ⢠RF620R/RF630R reader and ⢠RF660A antenna SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 05/2012, J31069-D0171-U001-A13-7618 361 Transponder/tags 7.9 SIMATIC RF680T SIMATIC RF680T transponder Features Typically 1.4 m/2 m in connection with: ⢠7.9.2 7.9.3 RF620R with integrated antenna Installation Suitable for direct mounting on conductive and non-conductive materials.

Baud rates are also used to specify how fast a reader can read information. Data transmission rate Unit of measurement for the volume of data transmitted within a unit of time, e.g. bytes/s, see also Baud dB See Decibel dBm Dimensional unit for the transmitted power in the logarithmic relation to 1 mW (Milliwatt). 0dBm = 1mW, +23dBm = 200mW, +30dBm = 1W. dBr dB(relative); a relative difference to a reference value Decibel (dB) Unit of measurement for the logarithmic relationship between two variables. Dense Reader Mode (DRM) In this mode, tag readability is increased through the application of interference-reducing measures. DRM is only defined for Gen 2 and does not function with other tag types. Detuning UHF antennas are tuned to receive a particular electromagnetic wavelength from the reader. If the antenna is too close to metal or a metallic material, it can be detuned, making the performance deteriorate. Distant field communication RFID antennas emit electromagnetic waves. If a tag is more than a full wavelength away from the reader's transmitting antenna, it is in a "distant field". If it is within a full wavelength, this is known as the "near field". The wavelength of UHF-RFID systems is approx. 33 cm. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 05/2012, J31069-D0171-U001-A13-7618 409 Glossary The distant field signal is attenuated with the square of the distance from the antenna, whereas the near field signal is attenuated with the cube of the distance from the antenna. Passive RFID systems based on distant field communication (UHF and microwave systems) have a greater read range than systems based on near field communication (typically lowfrequency and high-frequency systems). Dwell time The dwell time is the time in which the transponder dwells within the sensing range of a reader. The reader can exchange data with the transponder during this time. Dynamic mode In dynamic mode, the data carrier moves past the reader at a traversing rate which depends on the configuration. Various checking mechanisms ensure error-free data transfer even under extreme environmental conditions. EAN European article number. Standardized barcode used in Europe, Asia and South America. Is administered by EAN International. EBS Equipotential Bonding Strip Effective Isotropic Radiated Power See EIRP Effective Radiated Power See ERP. EIRP Effective Isotropic Radiated Power; unit of measurement for the transmission power of antennas (referred to an isotropic radiator) mainly used in the USA. EIRP is specified in Watt, and is not equal to ERP. (0dbi = - 2.14 dBm) Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of an electrical or electronic device to operate satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment without affecting or interfering with the environment over and above certain limits. SIMATIC RF600 410 System Manual, 05/2012, J31069-D0171-U001-A13-7618 Glossary EMC See Electromagnetic compatibility EMC directive Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility This guideline relates to any electrical or electronic equipment, plant or system containing electric or electronic components. EPC See EPC global EPC global Electronic Product Code. Standardized number system for identifying articles with a data width of either 64, 96 or 256 bits. Equipotential bonding Potential differences between different parts of a plant can arise due to the different design of the plant components and different voltage levels. It is necessary to compensate for these differences by equipotential bonding: this is done by combining the equipotential bonding conductors of power components and non-power components on a centralized equalizing conductor (EBS = Equipotential Bonding Strip). ERP Effective Radiated Power; unit of measurement for the transmission power of antennas (referred to an ideal dipole) mainly used in Europe. ERP is specified in Watt, and is not equal to EIRP.

SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 05/2012, J31069-D0171-U001-A13-7618 411 Glossary FCC Federal Communications Commission (USA) FHSS Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum; frequency change procedure. FM Frequency modulation; data are present in the changes in the frequency of the carrier frequency. Frequency hopping Frequency hopping technique Automatic search for free channels. In frequency hopping, data packets are transferred between the communication partners on constantly changing carrier frequencies. This makes it possible to react to interference from devices transmitting signals in the same frequency range (channel). If an attempt to send a data packet is unsuccessful, the packet can be transmitted again on a different carrier frequency. By default the RF600 uses this procedure (FCC) only in the USA and Canada. Frequency modulation See FM. Frequency Shift Keying See FSK FSK Modulation, Frequency Shift Keying; data are present in the changes between two frequencies.

There are various subdefinitions of this standard for the various approved frequency ranges for RFID. For example, the range 865 ... 868 MHz is described in ISO 18000-6. LAN Local Area Network LBT Listen Before Talk; the reader only transmits when the channel is free. License plate 10-digit code that is saved on every RFID tag. The code of the license plate establishes a connection between the item of baggage and the baggage processing system of the airport. As soon as the license plate has been read by the reader, a message is automatically sent to the baggage processing system. This message contains important data regarding the flight and destination of the item of baggage. Using this data, the item of baggage can be successfully sorted by the baggage processing system of the airport. Limit distance The limit distance is the maximum clear distance between reader antenna and transponder at which the transmission can still function under normal conditions. Mass recording The capability of a reader to record several or many transponders quasi-simultaneously and to read the code. Contrary to the multi-tag capability, the reader is not able to specifically address individual tags. MDS Mobile data memory, see Transponder. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 05/2012, J31069-D0171-U001-A13-7618 413 Glossary MES Manufacturing Execution System Metal-free area Distance/area which must be maintained between the transponder and metal in order to prevent interference during data transfer between the transponder and reader. Mobile Data Memory (MDS) Mobile data memory, see Transponder Modulation Modulation is a procedure with which one or more characteristics (e.g. phase, amplitude, frequency) of a carrier oscillation are modified according to the response of a modulating oscillation. Multi-tag capability Multi-tag capability means that a reader can communicate simultaneously with different data carriers. Therefore the reader can specifically address a transponder with its UID (see also mass recording). Near field communication RFID antennas emit electromagnetic waves. If a tag is more than a full wavelength away from the reader's transmitting antenna, it is in a "distant field". If it is within a full wavelength, this is known as the "near field". The wavelength of UHF-RFID systems is approx. 33 cm. The distant field signal is attenuated with the square of the distance from the antenna, whereas the near field signal is attenuated with the cube of the distance from the antenna. Passive RFID systems based on near field communication (typically low-frequency and highfrequency systems) have a greater read range than systems based on distant field communication (typically UHF and microwave systems). Passive tag If electromagnetic waves from the reader reach the tag antenna, the energy is converted by the antenna into electricity which provides the tag chip with current. The tag is able to return information stored on the chip. Passive tags do not usually have a battery. A battery is required if the tag has a RAM, but the battery is only used to save information in the RAM. In particular, the battery is not used for data exchange between reader and transponder. SIMATIC RF600 414 System Manual, 05/2012, J31069-D0171-U001-A13-7618 Glossary Passive tag/transponder A tag without its own power supply.

Programmable Logic Controllers See PLC Protocol A combination of rules which manage communications systems. Pulse duration modulation See PDM Radio Frequency Identification See RFID. Read rate Number of tags which can be read within a defined time. The read rate can also be used for the maximum rate at which data can be read from a tag. The unit is bits per second or bytes per second. Reader (also interrogator) Readers transfer data between mobile data memories (transponders) and the higher-level systems. The data, including the energy required for processing and sending back, are transmitted to the transponder across an electromagnetic alternating field. This principle enables contact-free data transmission, ensures high industrial compatibility and works reliably in the presence of contamination or through non-metallic materials. Reader talks first A passive tag communicates in the read field of a reader with the reader. The reader sends energy to the tags which only reply when they are explicitly requested. The reader is able to find tags with a specific serial number commencing with either 1 or 0. If more than one tag responds, the reader can scan all tags commencing with 01 and subsequently with 010. This is referred to as "walking" on a binary tree, or "tree walking". Reading range The distance within which a reader can communicate with a tag. Active tags can cover a greater distance than passive tags because they use a battery to send signals. SIMATIC RF600 416 System Manual, 05/2012, J31069-D0171-U001-A13-7618 Glossary Reciprocity Reciprocity means that a two-way relationship exists between the transmit and receive case of a passive antenna. RFID Radio Frequency Identification; a method of identifying items using electromagnetic waves. The reader supplies energy to the tag and communicates with it. RFID systems SIMATIC RF identification systems control and optimize material flow and production sequences. They identify reliably, quickly and economically, use non-contact data communication technology, and store data directly on the product. They are also resistant to contamination. RH circular Right hand circular polarization RSSI threshold value The "Received Signal Strength Indication" (RSSI) is an indicator of the receive field strength of the transponders. When the field strength with which the transponder is received undershoots the set RSSI threshold, the reader ignores the signal of this transponder. The RSSI threshold value can be activated to limit areas of the antenna fields to those in which transponders should still be accessed. This can be used to avoid undesirable effects, such as range overshoot when reading transponder data. RTNC Connector designation (Reverse TNC). Industrial coaxial connector with screw coupling, can be used for frequencies of up to 2 GHz. The mechanical design of the RTNC connector is not compatible with the TNC connector. RTTE Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment SCM Supply Chain Management SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 05/2012, J31069-D0171-U001-A13-7618 417 Glossary Secondary fields In addition to the main sensing range (antenna's main direction of transmission) there are secondary fields. These secondary fields are usually smaller than the main fields. The shape and characteristics of the secondary field depend on the metallic objects in the surroundings. Secondary fields should not be used in configuring. SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage Sensing range Area in which reliable data exchange between transponder and reader is possible due to a particular minimum field strength. SSB Single Sideband Modulation. SSB is similar to AM (amplitude modulation), however, only one sideband is sent instead of two sidebands. This saves 50% of the spectrum required in the HF channel without affecting the signal/data rate. For RFID applications, an HF carrier must also be sent to supply energy to the tag. Sending a carrier is many times not required for other SSB applications, since the HF carrier itself does not contain any data. Static mode In static mode the transponder is positioned at a fixed distance (maximum: limit distance) exactly above the reader. Tag See transponder Tag talks first A passive tag communicates in the read field of a reader with the reader. When a tag reaches the field of a reader, it immediately indicates its presence by reflecting a signal. TARI Abbreviation of Type A Reference Interval. Duration (period) for representation of a bit with content 0. TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol SIMATIC RF600 418 System Manual, 05/2012, J31069-D0171-U001-A13-7618 Glossary Telegram cycles A passive tag communicates in the read field of a reader with the reader. When a tag reaches the field of a reader, it immediately indicates its presence by reflecting a signal. Transmission of a read or write command is implemented in three cycles. They are called "Telegram cycles". One or two bytes of user data can be transferred with each command. The acknowledgment or response transfer (status or read data) takes place in three further cycles. TNC Connector designation (Threaded Neill Concelman). Industrial coaxial connector with screw coupling, can be used for frequencies of up to 2 GHz. Transceiver (transmitter/receiver) Combination of transmitter and receiver. A unit which can both send and receive electromagnetic waves. Transmission distance Distance between communication module and transponder Transponder An invented word from transmitter and responder. Transponders are used on the product, the product carrier, the object, or its transport or packaging unit, and contain production and manufacturing data, i.e. all application-specific data. They follow the product through assembly lines, transfer and production lines and are used to control material flow. Because of their wireless design, transponders can be used, if necessary, at individual work locations or manufacturing stations, where their data can be read and updated. Tree walking See Reader talks first. UHF Ultra-high frequency; frequency range from 300 MHz to 3 GHz. UHF RFID tags usually operate between 866 MHz and 960 MHz. This corresponds to a wavelength of approx. 33 cm. UID User IDentifier; the UID is an unambiguous number in the transponder, assigned by the manufacturer. The UID is unambiguous, and can usually also be used as a fixed code. The UID is used to specifically address a transponder SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 05/2012, J31069-D0171-U001-A13-7618 419 Glossary Ultra High Frequency See UHF.
