Page 31: Application Areas Of Rf300
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.
Page 32: System Configuration
System overview 3.3 System configuration 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.
Page 33 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.
Page 34: Example Of Container And Cardboard Container Handling: Use Of Iso Transponders
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. These cartons are marked with low-cost transponder labels and sorted to small or large packaging workstations (according to the delivery note) by being guided or transported via the corresponding conveyor system.

Page 39 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 (L ≠ L ). To obtain as large a transmission window as possible, make sure that the transponder only crosses the reader in the x direction.
Page 40: Width Of The Transmission Window
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 S and S .
Page 41: Impact Of Secondary Fields
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 (S ) generally always exist. They should, however, only be used during configuration in exceptional cases, since the read/write distances are very limited.

For this, values from approx. 0.5 W to approx. 2.0 W can be set in 0.25 W increments. Depending on the setting, the change to the transmission output power increases the performance in the lower operating distance (low performance) or in the upper limit distance (high performance).

Page 100: What Does Emc Mean
Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) The description is intended for "qualified personnel": ● Project engineers and planners who plan system configurations with RFID modules and have to observe the necessary guidelines. ● Fitters and service engineers who install the connecting cables in accordance with this description or who rectify defects in this area in the event of interference.
Page 101: Basic Rules
Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) EMC measures usually consist of a complete package of measures, all of which need to be implemented in order to ensure that the plant is immune to interference. Note The plant manufacturer is responsible for the observance of the EMC directives; the plant operator is responsible for radio interference suppression in the overall plant.
Page 102: Propagation Of Electromagnetic Interference
Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) ● Route the signal cables as close as possible to chassis surfaces. ● Twist the feed and return conductors of separately installed cables. ● Routing HF cables: avoid parallel routing of HF cables. ●...
Page 103 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: ●...

Page 106: Cabinet Configuration
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.
Page 107 Planning the RF300 system 4.5 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) As a rule: ● The effect of the interference decreases as the distance between the interference source and interference sink increases. ● The interference can be further decreased by installing grounded shielding plates. ●...
Page 108 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.
Page 109: Prevention Of Interference Sources
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.
Page 110: Equipotential Bonding
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.
Page 111: Cable Shielding
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.
Page 112 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.
