Simatic RF200
This is a compact, High Frequency RFID system, and particularly suitable for applications in small assembly lines and intralogistics. The reader follows the ISO 15693 standard, and it can be used with all supporting transponders.
A brief overview of the technical specs is:
The system is fit for assembly & handling systems, parts identification, conveyer technology, etc. The installation is highly simple, and requires little programming input for implementation, thanks to the S7 software’s ready-to-use functional blocks.
Simatic RF600
The Simatic RF600 is an ultra-high-frequency RFID system, and records tags with absolute reliability. It can be incorporated within the existing automation system with fluidity, thanks to the RJ45 Ethernet interface and the XML protocol in use. The RF600 has the following to offer:
The system possesses a high level of reliability thanks to the adaptive high-end antenna. The antenna allows simplified project planning, as the polarization no longer need to be taken into account. At the same time, the associated LED display allows fast diagnostics to take place and keep the user up-to-date regarding the error & acquisition status.
The demand for security and classified entry into assembly lines is greatly increasing. Manufacturers are looking for ways to increase traceability within their workplace and one of the best ways to do so is through electronic access management systems.
The Simatic RF1000 is an RFID-based solution that’s designed to allow versatile implementation of an Electronic Access Management System, limiting access to critical areas of the plant floor.
The technical specs are:
Typical applications of the system are controlled machine access, segregation of different access rights, and traceability within a zone. The overall design is sturdy, while integration into existing infrastructure (HMI panels) is very simple and secure.
Transponders
Each RFID system requires its transponder to ensure the user’s application runs smoothly. Technical parameters such as read range, temperature, frequency, etc. are decisive while selecting transponders. Siemens has a comprehensive portfolio of transponders that can adapt to every application.
