System overview 3.2 SIMATIC RF300 3.2.3 Application areas of RF300 SIMATIC RF300 is primarily used for non-contact identification of containers, palettes and workpiece holders in a closed production circuit. The data carriers (transponders) remain in the production chain and are not supplied with the products. SIMATIC RF300, with its compact transponder and reader enclosure dimensions, is particularly suitable in confined spaces.
System overview 3.3 System configuration 3.3 System configuration 3.3.1 Overview The SIMATIC RF300 system is characterized by a high level of standardization of its components. This means that the system follows the TIA principle throughout: Totally Integrated Automation. It provides maximum transparency at all levels with its reduced interface overhead. This ensures optimum interaction between all system components.
System overview 3.3 System configuration The entire production order that is saved on the transponder can also be read manually via the WIN-LC terminal located at each workstation. This means that virtually no additional data management is required on the control computer. The production order data can also be read for servicing purposes via the mobile SIMATIC RF350M reader.
System overview 3.3 System configuration 3.3.3 Example of container and cardboard container handling: Use of ISO transponders Containers of varying sizes are conveyed to picking workstations in a delivery center. There, the individual goods are removed and packed in cartons according to the delivery note.

Planning the RF300 system 4.
Planning the RF300 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning Note Transmission window with RF380R and RF382R Note that the transmission window of the reader RF380R is not square (Lx ≠ Ly). To obtain as large a transmission window as possible, make sure that the transponder only crosses the reader in the x direction.
Planning the RF300 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning The transponder can be used as soon as the intersection (SP) of the transponder enters the area of the transmission window. From the diagrams above, it can also be seen that operation is possible within the area between Sa and Sg. The active operating area reduces as the distance increases, and shrinks to a single point at distance Sg. Only static mode should thus be used in the area between Sa and Sg.
Planning the RF300 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.4 Impact of secondary fields Secondary fields in the range from 0 mm to 30% of the limit distance (Sg) generally always exist. They should, however, only be used during configuration in exceptional cases, since the read/write distances are very limited. Exact details of the secondary field geometry cannot be given, since these values depend heavily on the operating distance and the application.
Planning the RF300 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning Secondary fields without shielding The following graphic shows typical primary and secondary fields, if no shielding measures are taken. ① ② Main field Secondary field Figure 4-4 Secondary field without shielding In this arrangement, the reader can also read tags via the secondary field. Shielding is required in order to prevent unwanted reading via the secondary field, as shown and described in the following.
Planning the RF300 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning Secondary fields with shielding The following graphic shows typical primary and secondary fields, with metal shielding this time. The metal shielding prevents the reader from detecting tags via the secondary field.
Planning the RF300 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.5 Setup help of the readers of the second generation After turning on the reader (connection to the power supply) and the following startup phase, the reader automatically changes to the "Setup" mode. During this the antenna (readerinternal or external) is turned on, in contrast to generation 1 in which the antenna is turned on by a RESET.
Planning the RF300 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.6 Permissible directions of motion of the transponder Detection area and direction of motion of the transponder The transponder and reader have no polarization axis, i.e. the transponder can come in from any direction, assume any position as parallel as possible to the reader, and cross the transmission window.
Planning the RF300 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning Operation in dynamic mode When working in dynamic mode, the transponder moves past the reader. The transponder can be used as soon as the intersection (SP) of the transponder enters the circle of the transmission window. In dynamic mode, the operating distance (Sa) is of primary importance.
Planning the RF300 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.8 Dwell time of the transponder The dwell time is the time in which the transponder remains within the transmission window of the reader. The reader can exchange data with the transponder during this time. The dwell time is calculated as follows: tV: Dwell time of the transponder L: Length of the transmission window vTag: Speed of the transponder (tag) in dynamic mode 0.
Planning the RF300 system 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.9 Communication between communications module, reader and transponder Aids for calculating the data transmission times User-friendly calculation tools are available for the communications modules ASM 456, RF160C, RF170C and RF180C to calculate data transfer times. The calculation tools can be found on the DVD "Ident Systems Software & Documentation", article number 6GT20802AA20.
Planning the RF300 system 4.2 Field data for transponders, readers and antennas Aids for calculating the field data You will also find a tool for calculating field data on the DVD "Ident Systems, Software & Documentation". Using this tool, among other things you can calculate the operating distance (Sa), limit distance (Sg) and transmission window (L). Figure 4-10 4.

Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.5.3 Basic rules It is often sufficient to follow a few elementary rules in order to ensure electromagnetic compatiblity (EMC). The following rules must be observed: Shielding by enclosure ● Protect the device against external interference by installing it in a cabinet or housing. The housing or enclosure must be connected to the chassis ground.
Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Shielding for the cables ● Shield the data cables and connect the shield at both ends. ● Shield the analog cables and connect the shield at one end, e.g. on the drive unit. ● Always apply large-area connections between the cable shields and the shielding bus at the cabinet inlet and make the contact with clamps. ● Feed the connected shield through to the module without interruption. ● Use braided shields, not foil shields.
Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) The EMC measures are applied to all three components, in order to prevent malfunctions due to interference. When setting up a plant, the manufacturer must take all possible measures in order to prevent the occurrence of interference sources: ● Only devices fulfilling limit class A of VDE 0871 may be used in a plant. ● Interference suppression measures must be introduced on all interference-emitting devices.

Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.5.5 Cabinet configuration The influence of the user in the configuration of an electromagnetically compatible plant encompasses cabinet configuration, cable installation, ground connections and correct shielding of cables. Note For information about electromagnetically compatible cabinet configuration, please consult the installation guidelines for SIMATIC PLCs.
Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Prevention of interference by optimum configuration Good interference suppression can be achieved by installing SIMATIC PLCs on conducting mounting plates (unpainted). When setting up the control cabinet, interference can be prevented easily by observing certain guidelines.
Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Filtering of the supply voltage External interference from the mains can be prevented by installing line filters. Correct installation is extremely important, in addition to appropriate dimensioning. It is essential that the line filter is mounted directly at the cabinet inlet. As a result, interference is filtered promptly at the inlet, and is not conducted through the cabinet.
Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.5.6 Prevention of interference sources A high level of immunity to interference can be achieved by avoiding interference sources. All switched inductances are frequent sources of interference in plants. Suppression of inductance Relays, contactors, etc. generate interference voltages and must therefore be suppressed using one of the circuits below.
Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.5.7 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. If the plant components are connected across signal cables, transient currents flow across the signal cables. These transient currents can corrupt the signals. Proper equipotential bonding is thus essential.
Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.5.8 Cable shielding Signal cables must be shielded in order to prevent coupling of interference. The best shielding is achieved by installing the cables in steel tubes. However, this is only necessary if the signal cable is routed through an environment prone to particular interference. It is usually adequate to use cables with braided shields. In either case, however, correct connection is vital for effective shielding.
Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-19 Connection of shielding bus The shielding bus must be connected to the PE busbar. If shielded cables have to be interrupted, the shield must be continued via the corresponding connector housing. Only suitable connectors may be used for this purpose.
5 Readers Features of the RF300 reader The reader provides inductive communication with the transponders and serial connection to the communications modules. Communication between the transponder and reader takes place over inductive alternating fields. The transmittable data volume between reader and transponder depends on ● the speed at which the transponder moves through the transmission window of the reader.
