SIMATIC RF240R is a reader with an integrated antenna. Its extra compact design makes it ideal for use in small assembly lines.

This reader has either

• an RS422 interface with 3964R transmission procedure for connection to RFID communication modules (see Communication modules),
• or an RS232 interface with ASCII protocol for connection to S7-1200, PC-based systems or third-party controllers,
• 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 RF240R reader enables problem-free use even under the toughest industrial conditions. Connection is made either with an 8-pin M12 plug-in connector (RS422/RS232 version) or a 4-pin M12 plug-in connector (IO-Link version).

The reader is operated with ISO 15693-compatible transponders.
