Introduction
Scope of validity of this document
Registered trademarks
Further information
SIMATIC RF200 is a compact RFID system in the SIMATIC RFID product family. The
product range comprises cost-efficient RF readers that are ideal for use in small assembly
lines or in intralogistics. SIMATIC RF200 RFID readers only support the RFID standard ISO
15693 and are therefore ideal for operation with the extensive range of ISO 15693
transponders.
The readers of the RF200 product family are available with the following interfaces:
● RS-422 for connecting to the communications modules
● RS-232 with a simple ASCII protocol for connection to PCs and third-party controllers
● IO-Link for connection to IO Link masters from Siemens and third-party controllers
Readers with an internal antenna have a particularly compact design
(RF210R/RF220R/RF240R/RF260R). RF250R and RF290R are designed for operation with
external antennas either to achieve longer distances or larger field sizes (RF290R with ANT
D5/D6/D10) or to allow installation where there is very little space (RF250R with ANT
3/8/12/18/30).
This documentation is valid for all variants of the SIMATIC RF200 system and describes the
devices shipped as of July 2015.

SIMATIC RF200 is an inductive identification system that is compatible with the ISO 15693
standard and was specially designed for use in industrial production for the control and
optimization of material flows.
In contrast to SIMATIC RF300, SIMATIC RF200 is intended for RFID applications where
performance requirements are not very high, for example with regard to data volume,
transfer rate or diagnostics options. SIMATIC RF200 is characterized by particularly
favorable prices.

4.1.1
Selection criteria for SIMATIC RF200 components
4.1.2
Transmission window and read/write distance
Assess your application according to the following criteria, in order to choose the right
SIMATIC RF200 components:
● Static or dynamic data transfer
● Data volume to be transferred
● Speed in case of dynamic transfer
● Ambient conditions such as relative humidity, temperature, chemical impacts, etc.
The reader generates an inductive alternating field. The field is strongest close to the reader;
however, a read/write distance of "zero" between reader and transponder is not
recommended.
The strength of the field decreases in proportion to the distance from the reader. The
distribution of the field depends on the structure and geometry of the antennas in the reader
and transponder
A prerequisite for the function of the transponder is a minimum field strength at the
transponder, which is still barely achieved at distance S
from the reader.

4.1 Fundamentals of application planning
Secondary fields in the range from 0 mm to 30% of the limit distance (Sg) generally always
exist.
They should, however, only be used during configuration in exceptional cases, since the
read/write distances are very limited. Exact details of the secondary field geometry cannot be
given, since these values depend heavily on the operating distance and the application.
When working in dynamic mode, remember that during the transition from the secondary
field to the main field the presence of the tag is lost temporarily. It is therefore advisable to
select a distance > 30 % of S
.
