SIMATIC RF220R is an M30 reader with integrated antenna. Its compact design makes it ideal for use in small assembly lines which require a slightly higher range.

This reader has either:

• An RS 422 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, in two versions:
  • 8-byte process image according to IO-Link V1.0. Up to 4 readers can be connected in parallel to each Siemens IO-Link master.
  • 32-byte process image according to IO-Link V1.1. Depending on the type of Siemens IO-Link master, up to 4 readers can be connected.

Thanks to its high degree of protection and rugged design, the SIMATIC RF220R 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.
