Scenario: Intralogistics (material flow)
The conveyor transports the transport containers past the antennas. The transponders
attached to the transport containers are always evenly aligned. The transponders in this
scenario are transponders of the type SIMATIC RF630L. The conveyor belt has a maximum
width of approximately 80 cm in this example. The maximum transport speed is 2 m/s. With
this arrangement, only a single transponder needs to be detected each time (single-tag).
In this scenario, SIMATIC RF680R and RF685R are used as readers. Due to the limited
space available and the low reading distances, the SIMATIC RF615A antennas are used in
this example. As an alternative - with greater available space and to guarantee optimum
read reliability - the SIMATIC RF650A antennas can also be used. Because the readers are
connected in a bus topology, wiring requirements are reduced.
The reader reads the information from the transponders on the transport containers and
forwards it to the SIMATIC S7 controller.
