SIMATIC RF630R

The UHF RFID reader SIMATIC RF630R has been specially designed for the requirements in production. The reader can be used with one or two external antennas (SIMATIC RF620A/640A/642A/660A). The device is integrated into automation systems via the RS422 system interface. Connection to PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and Industrial Ethernet or directly to SIMATIC S7-300 is supported (via communication modules SIMATIC RF170C/180C/182C or ASM 456/475).

Special functions are available for the difficult environmental conditions encountered in production environments, such as reflections and dead zones resulting from metal or superimposed radio fields due to a high reader density. In this manner, process stability is substantially increased by automatic adaptation of the transmit power and intelligent filtering of the reading results.

The SIMATIC RF-DIAG software is available for fast and simple commissioning and diagnostics.

The reader is easily configured by selecting pre-defined profiles and using the well-known FB45 and FB55 function blocks. These can also be found on the DVD "RFID Systems Software & Documentation" which can be ordered separately. Further information on configuration, runtime response of the SIMATIC RF630R, and integration with SIMATIC PLCs can be found in the associated documentation.
