SIMATIC RF600 has been specially developed for the requirements of industry. It enables economical and reliable use of RFID in production, materials management and logistics.
Cost savings and improvement in process quality through application of UHF RFID with maximum reliability in the industrial environment:
Application of a uniform RFID system throughout the entire production process and supplier chain as a result of inexpensive transponders and wide ranges (no technology gaps).
Maximum availability even in applications with a complex radio environment such as high reader density, strongly reflecting metal environments, dynamic surroundings.
Permanent RFID identification of products thanks to disposable transponders matched to the application, e.g. heat-resistant, high degree of protection.
Wide transponder portfolio and customized versions for cost-optimized use.
Flexibility due to compact designs and remote antennas.
Safe and selective individual acquisition or bulk identification is possible.
High reading speed: Even fast-moving transponders are reliably detected.
Simplified engineering, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance through seamless integration into Totally Integrated Automation (TIA):
Integrated bus connection to an automation system, such as SIMATIC, SIMOTION or SINUMERIK via communication modules with PROFIBUS and PROFINET.
Direct interfacing to IT systems via Ethernet.
Integrated processing logic allows data preprocessing in the reader and saves costs for external PCs, software modules, etc.
Simple S7 software integration via ready-to-use function blocks.
Extensive diagnostic functions.
High degree of investment protection thanks to
Open standards EPCglobal Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C or ISO 18000-6B.
Software compatibility between the RFID systems of Siemens.
Standardized communication interfaces.
Openness through connection possibilities to various bus systems from different manufacturers and PC environments via communication modules.
