Due to their compact design and the integrated antenna, SIMATIC RF200 readers are suitable for mounting in confined spaces, e.g. in small assembly lines or in intralogistics.

The high IP67 degree of protection of the SIMATIC RF200 reader enables it to be used in harsh industrial environments.

Each SIMATIC RF200 reader has a multicolor LED which indicates the function and status of the reader on-site, as well as the presence of a transponder.

The interface to the automation level can be implemented by means of communication modules. For quick and easy cabling, pre-assembled cables with M12 plug-in connectors are available in various lengths.

Transponders compliant with ISO 15693 are used as mobile data carriers.

Transponders suitable for a wide variety of different requirements can be selected from an extensive range: For example, low-cost SmartLabels in rugged credit card format, or screw-fit transponders that can be attached by robots.

The transponders are attached to the object to be identified, e.g. by means of screws, adhesive or pre-assembled spacer.
