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.
Prescribed Usage

3.2 3.2 RF 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.
3.2.1 RF 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
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).
Readers The reader ensures inductive communication, supplies power to the transponders, and handles the
connection to the various PLCs (e.g. SIMATIC S7).
Transponders 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.
