SIMATIC RF210R is an M18 reader with integrated antenna. Its extremely compact design makes it ideal for use on small assembly lines.

This reader has either

• an RS422 interface with 3964R transmission procedure for connection to RFID communication modules (see Communication modules),
• 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 RF210R 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 version) or a 4-pin M12 plug-in connector (IO-Link version).

The reader is operated with ISO 15693-compatible transponders.
