Technical Data RF260R – Short Form
Remarks: The RF260R manual does not yet exist, even in German language. The
RF260R manual, once completed, will contain detailed information about field-data,
range for certain tags, information about how to implement the RF260R in a production
site with communication modules. This detailed information may not be much relevant
for RF260R FCC approval.
Below given are short system overview and technical data which are required in order to
run the RF260R 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.
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.
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.
