1.3 Overview
MOBY D is an RF identification system based on the ISO/IEC 15693 standard in the
13.56 MHz range. ISO/IEC 15693 creates a common basis for tags and Smartlabels from
different manufacturers for the first time.
Application areas typically encompass the following:
● Replacement for electronic barcode
● Supplement to barcode or delivery note in harsh environments
● Warehouse and distribution logistics
● Product identification
MOBY D can be directly connected to a PC with Windows 9x Professional, 2000
Professional und NT Professional over a serial (RS 232) interface and is supported by a
powerful C library.
It is integrated into SIMATIC S7 and PROFIBUS DP-V1 using the well-proven MOBY
interface modules
● ASM 452
● ASM 456
● ASM 473
● ASM 475
● SIMATIC RF170C
● SIMATIC RF180C
● SIMATIC RF182C
An easy-to-operate interface is available to the S7 user.
With the MOBY D write/read device, the standardized, low-cost write/read transponders
(Smartlabels based on ISO/IEC 15693) are processed at distances of up to 650 mm
(depending on the size of transponder and antenna).
