SIMATIC RF380R is a reader with an integral antenna for the top-end performance range and its compact construction makes it ideal for use in assembly lines in which long ranges are required (e.g. bodyshop/paintshop in the automotive industry). This reader is also particularly suitable for dynamic applications, in which the transponder does not stop during the read/write process (e.g. baggage conveyors in airports).

This reader has both an RS422 and an RS232 interface with a 3964R transmission procedure for connection to RFID communication modules (see Communication modules) as well as to non-Siemens controllers or the PC.

The RF380R is also available as a Scanmode variant (automatic read mode, without command control). This automatic read-only mode does not require a special command control, but supplies the autonomously read transponder data directly to the connected host system.

Due to the high degree of protection and the use of high-quality materials, the SIMATIC RF380R facilitates problem-free operation even under the harshest industrial conditions. It is connected via an 8-pole M12 plug-in connector.

The reader can process the high-speed RF300 transponders and the ISO-15693-compatible transponders (see RFID overview).
