SIMATIC RF260R is a reader with an integrated antenna. Its compact design makes it ideal for use in assembly lines.

This reader has either:

• An RS-422 interface with transmission procedure 3964R for connection to the RFID communication modules ASM 456, ASM 475, SIMATIC RF160C, RF170C, RF180C and RF182C,
• or an RS232 interface with a 3964R transmission procedure or ASCII protocol for connection to S7-1200, PC-based systems or third-party controllers,
• or a standardized IO-Link interface for connection to IO-Link master modules from Siemens or third parties.

Thanks to its high degree of protection and rugged design, the SIMATIC RF260R reader enables problem-free use even under the toughest industrial conditions. Connection is by means of either an 8-pin M12 plug-in connector (RS422/RS232 version) or a 4-pin M12 plug-in connector (IO-Link version).

The reader is operated with ISO 15693-compatible transponders.
