Since the specific VSWR value of the antenna does not agree with the value required by
the system, you must have this value checked. Therefore contact your antenna vendor or
an EMC laboratory.
2. Compare the technical specifications of your cables and connectors with the values
required by the system.
For example, you can use cables of type "LMR-195" from the company "TIMES
MICROWAVE SYSTEMS". Suitable cables have e.g. an outer diameter of 5 mm. The
company offers various designs of cables depending on the requirements. Numerous
connectors are also available for their cables.

3. Parameterize the following values depending on the used reader (see section Overview of
parameterization of RF600 reader (Page 198)):
– Parameterize the RF660R via configuration software
Antenna gain: 8.5 dBi
Cable loss: 4 dB (due to adaptation and damping losses of the connectors)
– Parameterize the RF660R via the XML command "antennaConfig"
In the XML command "antenneConfig", the following must be set for the antenna port
that is used:
(antenna number="1 ... 4"), antenna gain (gain="8.5") and cable loss (cableLoss="4.0").
Cable loss: 4 dB (due to adaptation and damping losses of the connectors)
– Parameterizing RF630R via SIMATIC commands
Since according to ETSI EN 302 208 V1.2.1 the maximum permissible radiated power
is 2 W ERP, none of the transmitting power settings available to the user
(distance_limiting) can lead to the required maximum permissible radiated power value
being exceeded. The exact radiated power of the reader, together with the antenna
cables and antenna used, are the result of the value used in distance_limiting 0-F and
the calculation given in Chapter "Radiated power setting with RF630R".
4. in the configuration software of the RF660R reader:
5. You must subsequently have your desired system requirements measured and verified
according to EN 302 308 in an absorber chamber.
You may only use your SIMATIC RF600 system with the new third-party components when
this has been carried out.

Tags in different sizes and types
7.1.2
Mode of operation of transponders/tags
The tag/transponder mainly comprises a microchip with an integral memory and a dipole
antenna.
The principle of operation of a passive RFID transponder is as follows:

Draft Version 02.06.2010
205
Transponder/tags
7.1 Overview
● Diversion of some of the high-frequency energy emitted by the reader to supply power to
the integral chip
● Commands received from reader
● Responses are transmitted to the reader antenna by modulating the reflected radio waves
(backscatter technique)
Figure 7-1
Mode of operation of transponders
The transmission ranges achieved vary in accordance with the size of the tag and the
corresponding dipole antenna. In general the following rule applies: The smaller the tag and
therefore the antenna, the shorter the range.
7.1.3
Transponder classes and generations
The transponder classes are distinguished by the different communication protocols used
between the reader and transponder. Transponder classes are mostly mutually incompatible.
The following transponder classes are supported by the RF 600 system:
● ISO 18000-6B with full ISO profile (RF660R, RF610M)
● EPC Global Class 1, Gen 1 with full EPC Global Profile (RF660R, RF610M)
● EPC Global Class 1 Gen 2 with full EPC Global Profile (ISO 18000-6C)

Electronic Product Code (EPC)
The Electronic Product Code (EPC) supports the unique identification of objects (e.g. retail
items, logistical items or transport containers). This makes extremely accurate identification
possible. In practical use, the EPC is stored on a transponder (tag) and scanned by the reader.
There are different EPC number schemes with different data lengths. Below is the structure
of a GID-96-bit code (EPC Global Tag Data Standards V1.1 Rev. 1.27) :
● Header: This identifies the EPC identification number that follows with regard to length,
type, structure and version of the EPC
● EPC manager: This identifies the company/corporation
● Object class: Corresponds to the article number
● Serial number: Consecutive number of the article
The Siemens UHF transponders are all suitable for working with EPC and other number
schemes. Before a transponder can work with a number scheme, the relevant numbers must
first be written to the transponder.

Features
The SIMATIC RF680L Smartlabel is passive and maintenance-free. It functions based on the
UHF Class 1 Gen 2 technology and is used for saving the electronic product code (EPC) of
96 bits/240 bits. The label also has a 512 bit user memory.
The SIMATIC RF680L (special version) is a heat-resistant Smartlabel with a limited service
life. Its target use is the direct identification of objects in high-temperature applications.
Thanks to its antenna geometry, the transponder can be read from any direction. However,
the range is reduced if it is not aligned in parallel with the antenna.

Characteristics
The SIMATIC RF620T Transponder is passive and maintenance-free, based on the UHF Class
1 Gen2 technology for storing 96-bit electronic product codes (EPC)
The container tag for industrial applications is rugged and highly resistant to detergents. It is
designed for easy attachment onto plastic, wood, glass, e.g. containers, palettes, and trolleys
The optimum functionality/range of the RF620T on metal is achieved by means of the spacer.
Since the plastic is food safe, it is also suitable for use in the food-processing industry.
This container tag is designed for the frequency bands 868 MHz (Europe) and 915 MHz (USA)
and can be operated in combination with our UHF system RF660.

Directional radio pattern of the transponder on non-metallic surfaces
Preferably, align the data carrier parallel to the transmitting antenna. If, however, the data
carrier including the metallic carrier plate is tilted, the reading range will be reduced.
Rotation about the polarization axis

Rotation of the transponder about the polarization axis
Generally the range does not change when the transponder without carrier material is rotated
about the polarization axis.

Transponder characteristics when rotated orthogonally to the polarization axis (within the

If the transponder is positioned orthogonally to the transmitting antenna, it normally cannot be
read. Therefore the data carrier is preferably to be aligned parallel to the transmitting antenna.
The following figure illustrates this situation.

The use of spacers on metallic surfaces is therefore recommended.
On rectangular carrier plates, the reading distance depends on the mounting orientation of the
transponder A 90° rotation of the transponder about the axis of symmetry may result in greater
reading distances
7.5.3.5
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 orthogonal to the conducting wall. A spacer
must be used in any case.

Reading range when mounted on ESD carrier materials
The transponder is generally designed for mounting on non-conductive objects which provide
the conditions for the maximum reading ranges The conductive or dissipativesurface of ESD
materials limits the reading range depending on the surface resistance. Generally, dissipative
materials with a surface resistance of 1 x 105 to 1 x 1011 ohm and conductive materials with
1 x 103 to 1 x 105 ohm are available.

In the representation above, the two reading points with regard to the dependence of the
reading range in % on the surface resistance are shown At the same time a linear dependence
between the reading points is to be expected, however with measurement inaccuracies. The
darker the hatching, the greater the probability that the reading point is found in the hatched

CAUTION
The screw fixing element was tested with the types of screws, spring washers and plain
washers indicated below. Depending on the application area, the user must use similar,
correspondingly certified screws, spring washers and plain washers (e.g. for the food
processing industry).
EJOT screws can be additionally etched and passivated in some areas of the food processing
industry, e.g if they made of stainless steel A2. In other areas without special requirements,
the screws can be, for example, zinc plated and blue passivated.
Note
In case of high mechanical loads (such as shocks or vibration), the transponder must be fixed
onto the spacer by means of screws.

Characteristics
The SIMATIC RF630T transponder is a passive (i.e. battery-free) and maintenance-free,
cylindrical data carrier. It operates on the basis of the UHF Class 1 Gen 2 technology and is
used for storing 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
positioned as shown.

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.

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 orthogonal to the conducting wall.

It is recommendable to align the transponder parallel to the transmitting antenna. If, however,
the transponder including the metallic carrier plate is tilted, the reading range will be reduced.

Transponder characteristics when rotated orthogonally to the polarization axis (within the

If the transponder is positioned orthogonally to the transmitting antenna, it normally cannot be
read. Therefore the transponder is preferably to be aligned parallel to the transmitting antenna.
The following figure illustrates this situation.

Reading range when mounted on plane metallic carrier plates
The transponder generally has linear polarization. The polarization axis runs as shown in the
diagram below. If the transponder is centrally mounted on a plane metal plate, which may
either be almost square or circular, it can be aligned in any direction if the transmitting and
receiving antennas operate with circular polarization (such as RF660A and RF620R).

On rectangular carrier plates, the reading distance depends on the mounting orientation of the
transponder A 90° rotation of the transponder about the axis of symmetry may result in greater
reading distances
7.9.3.5
Influence of conducting walls on the reading range
If there are conducting walls or restrictions in the vicinity that 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 orthogonal to the conducting wall.

8.2.1
RF-MANAGER and PC integration of the RF600 reader
Fields of application
The RF-MANAGER is used for configuring, commissioning and operating RFID systems. It
allows you to collect RFID data, to process it and to filter it. This data can be exchanged with
an S7 PLC by means of variables or transferred to a higher-level management system.
The RF-MANAGER supports you with quick and easy creation of RFID solutions as well as
the administration of RFID systems and their hardware components. The application also
offers extensive help with the preprocessing of RFID data.
8.2.1.1
Tasks of RF-MANAGER
Tasks of RF-MANAGER
At both the planning level (ERP) and production level (MES), systems are used that generate
a large volume of information that is relevant to production or that has commercial relevance.
To increase productivity and efficiency, the individual levels must communicate with each other
to use all the information that is available optimally. The RF-MANAGER makes an important
contribution to this and is located at the PLC/PC level. It manages the connected RFID readers,
collects the supplied data and reduces them to the accuracy and quantity required by the MES/
ERP level. The most important areas are device management, data management and
business integration. RF‑MANAGER also acts as the interface between RFID data and the
MES/ERP level.
The current RF-MANAGER version supports the following readers of the SIMATIC RF600
system: RF670R, RF660R, RF620R, RF630R, RF610M.

8.2 Integration in IT networks via RF-MANAGER
RF-MANAGER Engineering System (ES)
The RF-MANAGER Engineering System is the software for handling all your essential
configuring tasks. You can use ES to create RFID projects on your PC and to parameterize
their components.
RF-MANAGER Runtime (RT)
RF-MANAGER Runtime is the software that is used to operate RFID systems. In Runtime, you
can execute the RFID projects during process operation that you created and parameterized
in the Engineering System. The RT software can run either on the same PC as the ES, or on
another Windows XP-PC of your choice. The SIMATIC Microbox PC 427B is also an option
for runtime. The runtime system can exchange data with an S7 PLC by means of variables.
In accordance with the product version or licensing of RF-MANAGER that you have selected,
you can use the runtime system to address up to 50 RFID readers. Later license extensions
for the Runtime software can also be obtained.
8.2.1.3
Connecting principle
● The RF670R/RF660R UHF reader is connected to the PC via TCP/IP.
● The RF620R and RF630R UHF readers are connected to the PC serially via a COM
interface. For this an RS232 to RS422 interface converter is needed.
● The RF610M mobile handheld terminal is connected to the RF-MANAGER via WLAN.
Tested interface converters for the operation of RF620R/RF630R
The following interface converters were used by Siemens in the test:
● Trycom IP interface converter: "TRP-C06".
● EXSYS GmbH interface converter card: "EX-42054-9-8S" with 8 interfaces.
● EXSYS GmbH interface converter card: "EX-42052-9-2S" with 2 interfaces.
Interface converters that do not work with RS232 but are connected to the PC via, for example,
Ethernet or USB are not recommended. In general, these do not meet the timing requirements
demanded by the protocol.
When using an interface converter, the following pin assignment should be observed.
8.2.1.4
Pin assignment for TRP-C06 interface converter
Pin assignment and wiring diagram for interface converter
Trycom IP interface converter: "TRP-C06" is an external unit to convert RS232 to RS422 and
vice versa. To commission the interface converter, connect the wires of the reader cable (Order
No. 6GT2891-0EH50) to the correct terminals on the interface converter and the power supply/
ground (GND).
The following graphic shows an example of a wiring diagram:

Pin assignment connector EX-42054-9-8S interface converter card
The interface converter card EX-42054-9-8S is installed in the PC. A driver is installed for each
interface so that 8 additional COM ports become available. A connector matching the 8
interfaces must be mounted on the reader cable.
The following figure gives an example of a pin assignment for a connector on an RS422 reader
cable (Order No. 6GT2891-0EH50) as well as the power supply for the reader:

Note
Same pin assignment for the interface converter card EX-42052-9-2S
For the interface converter card EX-42052-9-2S a connector with the same assignment as
shown above must be installed.
8.2.1.6
Number of readers
The maximum number of readers connected simultaneously to a single computer with serial
communications depends largely on the computer's performance.
In the system test a standard PC (see system requirements) with 8 readers was tested.
Insufficient computer performance can lead to connection interruptions or communication
errors.
On the Microbox with a serial interface, a reader with serial communications was tested.
