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

This cable has an 8-pin M12 connector at one end and the other cable end is 'open'. There
are 8 color-coded single cores there for connecting to external devices. There are different
cable lengths in the product range (3 m to 50 m). Long cables can be reduced if necessary.
Note
For long cables: Adapt supply voltage and data rate accordingly
Note that with long cables in particular, the supply voltage of 24 V DC must always be
applied. Note also that the data rate on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced.

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.

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.

Maximum number of readable tags
The maximum number of readable tags depends on the following parameters:
● Size of the antenna field
● Readability of the tags
For a transmit power of 500 mW ERP, the following is read when the tag RF620T is used:
● Max. 40 tags in the antenna field (tags perpendicular to antenna at 1 m distance). If 2
antennas are used, up to 80 tags can be recognized.
● Max. 18tags per second
Note for 2-antenna operation
● If 2 antennas are connected to the SIMATIC RF630R, the antennas must be controlled
using the SET-ANT command.
● If 2 antennas are configured as a gate, both antennas should be simultaneously switched
on with the SET-ANT command. The reader multiplexes both antennas internally. The
multiplexing time is 100 ms (internal changeover time from antenna to antenna).

NOTICE
Loss of validity for type tests and certificates
Note that when either the RF620A antenna, the 3 m antenna cable or the 10 m antenna cable (order
no. 6GT2815-1BN10, cable attenuation: 2.0dB) is used, the certifications for operating the reader
outside of the validity range of ETSI (EU, EFTA, Turkey), IC (Canada), FCC (USA) become void.
NOTICE
Excessive radiated power
Note that when the 3 m antenna cable is used, the antenna attenuation for the RF660R
must be set at 1.0 dB. Otherwise, the result would be a radiated power that exceeds the
permitted range.

5.3.2.1
Increasing the probability of identification for tags - Antenna switching
To achieve a high probability of reading tags, the antenna switching function has been
implemented in the RF660R reader:
During a defined time period, the reader transmits on one antenna and receives on the other.
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).
