7.6.1Characteristics

The SIMATIC RF625T transponder is a passive, maintenance-free data carrier with a round design. It operates based on the UHF Class 1 Gen 2 technology and is used to save the "Electronic Product Code" (EPC) of 96 bits/128 bits. The transponder also has a 512-bit user memory.

Fields of application are industrial asset management, RF identification of tools, containers and metallic equipment.

The Disk Tag is small and rugged and suitable for industrial applications with degree of protection IP68. It is highly resistant to oil, grease and cleaning agents.

Ideally, the SIMATIC RF625T is mounted directly on a flat metal surface of at least 150 mm diameter where it achieves a typical sensing distance of 1.5 m.

7.6.3.2Reading range when mounted on flat metallic carrier plates

The transponder generally has linear polarization. The polarization axis runs as shown in the diagram below. If the tag is centrically mounted on a flat metal plate, which may either be almost square or circular, it can be aligned in any direction since the transmitting and receiving RF660A antennas operate with circular polarization.

Metal plate Ø 120 mm	Approx. 70 %
Metal plate Ø 85 mm	Approx. 60 %
Metal plate Ø 65 mm	Approx. 60 %

On rectangular carrier plates, the reading range depends on the mounting orientation of the transponder You will find more detailed information on reading ranges in the section "Electrical data (Page 324)".

7.6.3.3Reading range when mounted on non-metallic carrier materials

The transponder is generally designed for mounting on metallic objects which provide the conditions for the maximum reading ranges

Table 7- 17 Reading range on non-metallic carriers

Carrier plate material	Reading range 1)
Transponder on wooden carrier	Approx. 60 %
Transponder on plastic carrier	Approx. 65 %
Transponder on plastic mineral water bottle	Approx. 70 %
Transponder without base	Approx. 50 %

1)The maximum read range of 100 % is achieved by mounting the transponder on a flat metallic carrier with a diameter of at least 150 mm.

You will find more detailed information on reading ranges in the section "Electrical data (Page 324)".

7.6.3.4Influence of conducting walls on the reading range

If there are conducting walls or restrictions in the vicinity that could affect the radio field, a distance of approx. 10 cm is recommended. In principle, walls have least influence if the polarization axis is orthogonal to the wall.

Reading range: One conducting wall

7.6.3.5Mounting in metal

It is possible to mount the transponder in metal. If there is not enough clearance to the surrounding metal, this reduces the reading range.

Ideally, align the data carrier parallel with the transmitting antenna or the reader. If the data carrier including the (metallic) carrier plate is tilted, the reading range will be reduced. The following diagrams show the effects on the reading range depending on the carrier material and the angle of inclination of the transponder.
