The SIMATIC RF280R reader has an integrated antenna. Its compact design makes it ideal for use in assembly lines. Especially suitable for longer ranges and dynamic applications.

This reader has either:

• An RS422 interface with 3964R transmission procedure for connection to the RFID communication modules (see Communication modules), or
• An RS 232 interface with ASCII protocol for connection to S7-1200, PC-based systems or third-party controllers with scan-mode functionality.

Thanks to its high degree of protection and rugged design, the SIMATIC RF280R reader enables problem-free use even under the toughest industrial conditions. It is connected via an 8-pin M12 plug-in connector.

The reader is operated with ISO 15693-compatible transponders.
