Safety Guidelines

This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring to property damage only have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to the degree of danger.

Danger

indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

Warning

indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

Caution

with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

Caution

without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.

Notice

indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into account.

If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property damage.

Qualified Personnel

The device/system may only be set up and used in conjunction with this documentation. Commissioning and operation of a device/system may only be performed by qualified personnel. Within the context of the safety notes in this documentation qualified persons are defined as persons who are authorized to commission, ground and label devices, systems and circuits in accordance with established safety practices and standards.

System overview 3.2 RF 300

3.2RF 300

SIMATIC RF 300 is an inductive identification system specially designed for use in industrial production for the control and optimization of material flow. Thanks to its compact components it is particularly suited to small assembly lines and conveyor systems with restricted space for installation. The rugged components feature an attractive price/performance ratio.

3.2.1RF 300 application areas

SIMATIC RF 300 is used primarily for contactless identification of containers, pallets and workpiece carriers in a closed production loop, i.e. the data carriers (transponders) remain in the production chain and are not shipped out with the products. Thanks to the compact enclosure dimensions of both the transponders and readers, SIMATIC RF 300 is particularly suitable for (small) assembly lines where space is at a premium.

The main application areas of SIMATIC RF 300 are:

•Assembly and handling systems, assembly lines (identification of workpiece carriers)

•Production logistics (material flow control, identification of containers and other vessels)

•Parts identification (e.g. transponder is attached to product/pallet).

•Conveyor systems

Communication modules

Readers

Transponders

A communication module (interface module) is used to integrate the RF identification system in PLC/automation systems. In the case of SIMATIC RF 300, the reader is connected to an S7 automation system either via the 8xIQ-Sense module or an equivalent MOBY interface module (e.g. ASM 475).

The reader ensures inductive communication, supplies power to the transponders, and handles the connection to the various PLCs (e.g. SIMATIC S7).

Transponders (mobile data memories) are used, for example, in place of barcodes and can contain all product-specific data in addition to the product number.
