The low-cost communications modules ASM 456 and SIMATIC RF160C are stand-alone PROFIBUS DP slaves for the operation of MOBY D, SIMATIC RF200 / RF300 / RF600 RFID systems as well as the MV400 optical reader devices via PROFIBUS DP on:

• SIMATIC S7 (including FB/FC software)
• SINUMERIK
• PC, IPC, non-Siemens PLC
• SIMOTION (with integrated software library)

Thanks to their high degree of protection and ruggedness, they are particularly suitable for machine-level use. The modular structure with different PROFIBUS connection systems allows them to be used in all applications. The uniform plug-in connection system ensures rapid commissioning.
