Danger of burns

SIMATIC RFID products comply with the salient safety specifications acc. to IEC, VDE, EN, UL and CSA. If you have questions about the permissibility of the installation in the planned environment, please contact your service representative.

Do not open the device when when the power supply is on. Unauthorized opening of and improper repairs to the device may result in substantial damage to equipment or risk of personal injury to the user.

Alterations to the devices are not permitted.

Failure to observe this requirement shall constitute a revocation of the radio equipment approval, CE approval and manufacturer's warranty.

Make sure that the readers can be disconnected from the power supply with a switch or a fuse. The function of the switch or fuse must be clearly recognizable.

Note that some outer components of the reader are made of metal. Depending on the environmental conditions temperatures can occur on the device that are higher than the maximum permitted operating temperature.

Safety information

Security information

Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.

In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept.

Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate security measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.

Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into account. For more information about industrial security, please visit Link: (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity

Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.

3.2 SIMATIC RF300

SIMATIC RF300 is an inductive identification system specially designed for use in industrial production for the control and optimization of material flow.

Thanks to its compact dimensions, RF300 is the obvious choice where installation conditions are restricted, especially for assembly lines, handling systems and workpiece carrier systems. RF300 is suitable for both simple and demanding RFID applications and it stands out for its persuasive price/performance ratio.

In applications without command control, the transponders are read automatically. The type of data acquisition and transfer is preset in the reader using parameters.

RF300 in conjunction with ISO transponders provides a cost-effective solution for mediumperformance applications.

The high-performance components of RF300 in conjunction with the RF300 transponders provide advantages in terms of high data transmission speeds and storage capacities.

With the current delivery stage an innovative second generation of the readers RF310R, RF340R, RF350R and RF380R is available. These readers apart from additional performance characteristics are 100% compatible with the RF300s of the first generation. The second generation of the RF380R comes later.

Additional performance features:

● Additional transponder protocol ISO 14443 (air interface) for MDS E transponders

● Automatic detection of different transponder types (RF300, ISO 15693, ISO 14443)

● Emulation of MOBY I write/read devices (SLG 4x) in conjunction with RF300

transponders for simplified migration

● Setup help integrated in the reader

The setup help serves the simple optimization of the reader-transponder positioning during installation/commissioning. Further installation or software are not necessary. The setup help becomes active directly after turning the device on.

● Improved 5-color LED display
