Siemens RF260R User Manual

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.
