Readers
Readers ensure fast, secure data transfer between mobile data memories and higher-level
systems (PLCs, PCs, etc.). The data, energy included, are transmitted inductively across an
electromagnetic alternating field or by radio. This principle enables contact-free data
transmission, ensures high industrial compatibility and works reliably in the presence of
contamination or through non-metallic materials.
RFID systems
SIMATIC RF identification systems control and optimize material flow and production
sequences. They identify reliably, quickly and economically, use non-contact data
communication technology, and store data directly on the product. They are also resistant to
contamination.
Static mode
In static mode, the transponder is positioned at a fixed distance (maximum: limit distance)
exactly over the read/write device.

Transmission distance
Distance between communication module (read/write device) and transponder (mobile data
memory)
Transponder
An invented word from transmitter and responder. Transponders are used on the product,
the product carrier, the object, or its transport or packaging unit, and contain production and
manufacturing data, i.e. all application-specific data. They follow the product through
assembly lines, transfer and production lines and are used to control material flow.
Because of their wireless design, transponders can be used, if necessary, at individual work
locations or manufacturing stations, where their data can be read and updated.
