SIMATIC RF200 Siemens

Область применения

The RFID system SIMATIC RF200 is primarily used for non-contact identification of containers, pallets and workpiece holders where the demands on performance (data transmission rate, memory volume) satisfy the ISO 15693 standard.

The main application areas for SIMATIC RF200 are:

• Assembly and handling systems, assembly lines (identification of workpiece carriers), especially small assembly lines.
• Production logistics (material flow control, identification of containers and other vessels), intralogistics.
• Parts identification (the transponder is attached to the products or pallets).
• Conveyor systems (e.g. suspended monorail).

Обзор

The RFID system SIMATIC RF200 is, thanks to its compact and low-cost reader, particularly suitable for use in industrial production in the areas of small assembly lines and intralogistics.

With RF200, identification tasks of medium-performance in the RF range (13.56 MHz, ISO 15693) can be implemented extremely cost effectively. RF200 readers can be operated with all ISO transponders.

The communication modules that can be used for all MOBY and SIMATIC RF systems (ASM 456, ASM 475, SIMATIC RF1xxC) are available for connecting to SIMATIC S7, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP and TCP/IP (XML).

IO-Link

For simple identification tasks (e.g. reading an identification number) the RF210R/RF220R//RF240R/RF250R/RF260R readers are available in an interface version for IO-Link. With the help of this standardized interface it is extremely easy and economical to integrate the data automatically read by the reader into the automation level. The SIMATIC RF200 readers can be connected to the controllers of many well-known suppliers of automation solutions through an appropriate IO-Link master module.

Siemens offers IO‑Link master modules for S7-1200, ET 200S, ET 200SP, ET 200AL und ET 200eco PN In this way, IO-Link is seamlessly integrated into the established PROFINET and PROFIBUS field buses and into the world of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA Portal).

The Siemens master modules allow up to four SIMATIC RF200 IO-Link readers to be connected.

The essential features of IO-Link are:

• Ease of use: No RFID-specific programming is necessary, ideal for RFID beginners.
• Particularly low channel costs per reading point (reader + IO-Link master interface).
• Openness through standardization: Many well-known manufacturers offer IO-Link masters.

The SIMATIC RF200 identification system offers the following features:

• 13.56 MHz operating frequency (operation according to ISO 15693).
• Passive (without battery), maintenance-free transponders (MDS Dxxx) with memory capacities up to 8 KB FRAM.
• Rugged, compact components with IP67 degree of protection.
• Easy integration into SIMATIC, PROFIBUS, PROFINET and TCP/IP.
• Reader versions with RS422, RS232 or IO-Link.

Дизайн

Due to their compact design and the integrated antenna, SIMATIC RF200 readers are suitable for mounting in confined spaces, e.g. in small assembly lines or in intralogistics.

The high IP67 degree of protection of the SIMATIC RF200 reader enables it to be used in harsh industrial environments.

Each SIMATIC RF200 reader has a multicolor LED which indicates the function and status of the reader on-site, as well as the presence of a transponder.

The interface to the automation level can be implemented by means of communication modules. For quick and easy cabling, pre-assembled cables with M12 plug-in connectors are available in various lengths.

Transponders compliant with ISO 15693 are used as mobile data carriers.

Transponders suitable for a wide variety of different requirements can be selected from an extensive range: For example, low-cost SmartLabels in rugged credit card format, or screw-fit transponders that can be attached by robots.

The transponders are attached to the object to be identified, e.g. by means of screws, adhesive or pre-assembled spacer.

Функции

All of the SIMATIC RF200 readers are suitable for reliable reading and writing tasks in the HF range of 13.56 MHz. The SIMATIC RF200 IO-Link readers are designed for simple identification tasks.

The readers are connected (via an RS422 interface) to the automation level (e.g. SIMATIC S7) by means of communication modules over standard fieldbuses (e.g. PROFIBUS or PROFINET).

User-friendly function blocks are available for the S7 programming.

In the event of an error, the S7 application receives a detailed error message from the communication module via the function block.

In addition, there are the SIMATIC RF240R, RF250R and RF260R readers with an RS232 interface for connection to to the PC or to SIMATIC S7-1200.

The SIMATIC RF210R, RF220R, RF240R, RF250R and RF260R readers are available as versions with IO-Link interface.

Интеграция

A wide range of communication modules, function blocks, as well as high-performance drivers and function libraries permits easy and quick integration into the application.

And best of all: SIMATIC RF200 is part of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) and can be integrated easily and cost-effectively into the SIMATIC world.

The IO-Link versions of the RF200 readers are integrated into the control level with the help of standardized IO-Link masters.
