The LED can be lit in green, red or yellow. The meaning of the indication changes in accordance with the color and state (on, off, flashing) of the LED: Green LED Red LED Yellow LED Meaning Off Off Off The device is starting up. Flashing Off Off The device is ready. The antenna is switched off. On Off Off The device is ready. The antenna is switched on. Off Off On "With presence": At least one tag is in the field. "Without presence": Communication with a tag is active. Off Flashing Off Reader is not active, a serious error has occurred. In addition, this LED also indicates the fault status through the number of flashing pulses. Reboot (operating voltage Off → On is necessary). The LED flashes once for the 'INACTIVE' status, rebooting is not necessary in this case. For more detailed information on the flash codes of the reader see Chapter Error messages and flash codes for RF620R/RF630R (Page 330) Note LED not lit yellow? If the LED does not light up yellow even though a tag is located within the field, common causes are: • Incorrect configuration in the init_run command, or init_run command was not executed (see "Configuration Manual RF620R/RF630R") • Antenna is switched off • A tag is used, that is not compatible with the reader protocol (EPC Global Class 1 Gen 2).• Tag is defective • Reader or antenna has a defect • Tag is not in the field of radiation of the transmit antenna

The tightening torque must be increased in this case to ensure that electrical contact is made (2.7 Nm). Ground connection (a) Hexagon-head screw (b) Plain washer (c) Cable lugs DEGF (d) Contact washer: Use contact washers according to the Siemens standard SN 70093-6-FSt-flNnnc-480h for ground connection, Siemens item No.: H70093-A60-Z3 5.2.2 Planning application 5.2.2.1 Minimum mounting clearances of two antennas of different readers At 500 mW ERP radiated power, due to the opening angle of the antennas, their fields can overlap considerably. It is no longer possible to clarify in which antenna field access to the data of a tag is performed. In order to avoid this, always keep a minimum distance of 3 m between two antennas of different RF630R readers with the maximum radiated power of 500 mW ERP. Dense Reader Mode (DRM) The readers can also interfere with each other (secondary fields), if the channels (Reader TX, Transponder TX) overlap. In order to prevent a transponder channel overlapping with a reader channel, we recommend that the Dense Reader Mode (DRM) is used.
Readers 5.2 RF630R reader SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 12/2009, J31069-D0171-U001-A9-7618 127 5.2.2.2 Antenna/read point configurations You can connect up to two external antennas to the RF630R reader. The standard setting is that two antennas are connected when the reader is started. You have 3 possibilities for aligning the antennas and covering the read point. One RF630R reader with two antennas and two read points If you connect two external antennas to the device and align them in different directions, you can read tags at two different read points. With this technique, a particular antenna must be switched off application-dependently to be able to establish which tags have been read from which antenna. The reader also provides a mode for this purpose in which the antennas can be switched on and off cyclically (both antennas must be connected). Note the minimum distances between the antennas for the antenna configuration (see Chapter Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas (Page 49) . One RF630R reader with two antennas and one read point If you connect two external antennas to the device and align them in the same direction (portal configuration), you can read tags at one read point. With this method, the reader automatically switches between the two antennas while the tags are being read. Note the minimum distances between the antennas for the antenna configuration (see Chapter Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas (Page 49) . One RF630R reader with one antenna and one read point If you connect an external antenna to the device, you can read tags at one read point.

As long as the antenna is receiving signals from further tags, the reader continues to transmit on the same transmitter antenna until all responding tags have been identified. Subsequently, or if no tags respond, the reader activates another antenna as the transmitter antenna. After all the antenna have transmitted at least once and no tag has responded, or when the settling time is excessively long, the reader activates frequency hopping (in the USA) or channel selection (in Europe).
