Legal information
Warning notice system
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 only to property damage 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 product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation for the specific task, in particular its warning notices and
safety instructions. Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of
identifying risks and avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

3.2 SIMATIC RF300
3.2.1 RF300 system overview
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.

System overview
3.2 SIMATIC RF300
Low-performance applications
With the cost-effective IQ-Sense interface, RF300 provides an especially favorable solution
concept for low-performance applications.
Medium-performance applications
RF300 in conjunction with ISO tags provides a cost-effective solution for mediumperformance applications.
High-performance applications
The high-performance components of RF300 provide advantages in terms of high data
transmission rates and storage capacities.
File handler functionality
In addition to standard addressing, the ASM 456 interface module in conjunction with the
FC 56 offers a file handler functionality. The required parameters correspond to those of
MOBY I which are described in the FC56 documentation
com
(http://support.automation.siemens.
/WW/view/en/18690683).
Available ASMs can be found in an overview table in Chapter "System integration,
Introduction (Page 209),Table 8-1).
