Siemens RF210R User Manual

Technical Data RF210R – Short Form

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada. L'utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée
seulement aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur du dispositif doit être prêt à accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.

Remarks: The RF210R manual does not yet exist, even not in German language. The
RF210R manual, once completed, will contain detailed information about field-data,
range for certain tags and information about how to implement the RF210R in a
production site with communication modules. This detailed information may not be much
relevant for RF210R FCC approval.
Below given are short system overview and technical data which are required in order to
run the RF210R for testing and to check the reader’s function.

RF200 System overview

SIMATIC RF200 is an inductive identification system, based on the standard ISO 15693,
which was specially designed for industrial production for controlling and optimization
material flow.
Contrary to SIMATIC RF300, SIMATIC RF200 is designed for RFID applications for
lower demands on performance (data volume, data transfer speed, diagnostics).
SIMATIC RF200 is a low-price RFID system.

Explanation of Technical terms

Component Description

Communications Modules Integration of an RFID Identification system is achieved by a

communications module.

Reader The reader achieves the communication with the tag and provides

the tag with energy by the reader’s magnetic field. The reader also
interfaces to various modules (i.e. SIMATIC S7 via ASM 475).

Tag The RFID-tag stores all data relevant for production and is used as a

substitute for optical barcode-tags.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
