15 Introduction 1 Introduction 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).

25 RF200 system planning 4 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.1 Selection criteria for SIMATIC RF200 components 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. 4.1.2 Transmission window and read/write distance 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 Sg from the reader.

4.1 Fundamentals of application planning SIMATIC RF200 26 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 The picture below shows the transmission window of the SIMATIC RF210R and SIMATIC RF220R readers between transponder and reader: Sa Operating distance between transponder and reader Sg Limit distance (maximum clear distance between upper surface of the reader and the tran- sponder, at which the transmission can still function under normal conditions) L Diameter of a transmission window SP Intersection of the axes of symmetry of the transponder Figure 4-1 RF210R/RF220R transmission window

4.1 Fundamentals of application planning SIMATIC RF200 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 27 The figure below shows the transmission window of the SIMATIC RF240R and SIMATIC RF260R readers between transponder and reader: Sa Operating distance between transponder and reader Sg Limit distance (maximum clear distance between upper surface of the reader and the tran- sponder, at which the transmission can still function under normal conditions) L Length of a transmission window M Field centerpoint Figure 4-2 RF240R/RF260R transmission window The transponder can be used as soon as the intersection (SP) of the transponder enters the area of the transmission window.

4.1 Fundamentals of application planning SIMATIC RF200 28 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 From the diagrams above, it can also be seen that operation is possible within the area between Sa and Sg. The active operating area reduces as the distance increases, and shrinks to a single point at distance Sg. Only static mode should thus be used in the area between Sa and Sg. 4.1.3 Width of the transmission window Determining the width of the transmission window The following approximation formula can be used for practical applications: B: Width of the transmission window L: Length of the transmission window Tracking tolerances The width of the transmission window (B) is particularly important for the mechanical tracking tolerance. The formula for the dwell time is valid without restriction when B is observed.

4.1 Fundamentals of application planning SIMATIC RF200 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 29 4.1.4 Impact of secondary fields 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 Sg. ① Main field ② Secondary field Figure 4-3 Gap in the field resulting from secondary fields

4.1 Fundamentals of application planning SIMATIC RF200 30 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 Secondary fields without shielding The following graphic shows typical primary and secondary fields, if no shielding measures are taken. ① Main field ② Secondary field Figure 4-4 Secondary field without shielding In this arrangement, the reader can also read tags via the secondary field. Shielding is required in order to prevent unwanted reading via the secondary field, as shown and described in the following.

The metal shielding prevents the reader from detecting tags via the secondary field. ① Main field ② Secondary field Figure 4-5 Secondary field with shielding

The figure below shows the active area for various directions of transponder motion: Transmission window Direction of motion of the transponder Detection area L x W Figure 4-6 Detection areas of the reader for different directions of transponder motion

4.1 Fundamentals of application planning SIMATIC RF200 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 33 4.1.6 Operation in static and dynamic mode Operation in static mode If working in static mode, the transponder can be operated up to the limit distance (Sg). The transponder must then be positioned exactly over the reader: Figure 4-7 Operation in static mode Note Note that in a metallic environment the values for the limit distance are reduced. Operation in dynamic mode When working in dynamic mode, the transponder moves past the reader. The transponder can be used as soon as the intersection (SP) of the transponder enters the circle of the transmission window. In dynamic mode, the operating distance (Sa) is of primary importance. [Operating distances, see Chapter Field data of transponders and readers (Page 36)] Figure 4-8 Operation in dynamic mode

4.1 Fundamentals of application planning SIMATIC RF200 34 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 4.1.7 Dwell time of the transponder The dwell time is the time in which the transponder remains within the transmission window of a reader. The reader can exchange data with the transponder during this time. The dwell time is calculated thus: tV: Dwell time of the transponder L: Length of the transmission window vTag: Speed of the transponder (tag) in dynamic mode 0,8: Constant factor used to compensate for temperature impacts and production toler- ances The dwell time can be of any duration in static mode. The dwell time must be sufficiently long to allow communication with the transponder. The dwell time is defined by the system environment in dynamic mode. The volume of data to be transferred must be matched to the dwell time or vice versa. In general: tV:: Dwell time of the data memory within the field of the reader tK: Communication time between transponder and communication module

The calculation tools can be found on the DVD "RFID Systems Software & Documentation", article number 6GT2080- 2AA20. Figure 4-9 User interface of the calculation tool for command processing time

4.2 Field data of transponders and readers SIMATIC RF200 36 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 Aids for calculating the field data You will also find a tool for calculating field data on the DVD "RFID Systems, Software & Documentation". Using this tool, among other things you can calculate the operating distance (Sa), limit distance (Sg) and transmission window (L). Figure 4-10 User interface of the calculation tool for field data acquisition 4.2 Field data of transponders and readers The following tables show the field data for all SIMATIC RF200 components of transponders and readers. This makes the correct selection of a transponder and reader particularly easy. All the technical specifications listed are typical data and are applicable for an ambient temperature between 0 °C and +50 °C, a supply voltage between 22 and 27 VDC and a metal-free environment. Tolerances of ±20 % are permitted due to production or temperature conditions. If the entire voltage range at the reader of 20 VDC to 30 VDC and/or the entire temperature range of transponders and readers is used, the field data is subject to further tolerances. Note Transmission gaps If the minimum operating distance (Sa) is not observed, a transmission gap can occur in the center of the field. Communication with the transponder is not possible in the transmission gap.

In this case, the data transfer time would increase unpredictably or a command would be aborted with an error. Keeping to the values specified in the "Minimum distance readers or antennas" table is therefore essential. If the specified minimum distance cannot be complied with due to the physical configuration, the SET-ANT command can be used to activate and deactivate the HF field of the reader. The application software must be used to ensure that only one reader is active (antenna is switched on) at a time.

4.3 Installation guidelines SIMATIC RF200 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 47 4.3 Installation guidelines 4.3.1 Overview The transponder and reader complete with their antennas are inductive devices. Any type of metal in the vicinity of these devices affects their functionality. Some points need to be considered during planning and installation if the values described in the "Field data (Page 37)" section are to retain their validity: ● Minimum spacing between two readers or their antennas ● Minimum distance between two adjacent data memories ● Metal-free area for flush-mounting of readers or their antennas and transponders in metal ● Mounting of multiple readers or their antennas on metal frames or racks The following sections describe the impact on the operation of the RFID system when mounted in the vicinity of metal. 4.3.2 Reduction of interference due to metal Interference due to metal rack Problem A metal rack is located above the transmission window of the reader. This affects the entire field. In par- ticular, the transmission window between reader and transponder is reduced. Remedy: The transmission window is no longer affected if the transponder is mounted differently.

4.3 Installation guidelines SIMATIC RF200 48 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 Flush-mounting Flush-mounting of transponders and readers Problem Flush-mounting of transponders and readers is possible in principle. However, the size of the transmis- sion window is significantly reduced. The following measures can be used to counteract the reduction of the window: Remedy: Enlargement of the non-metallic spacer below the transponder and/or reader. The transponder and/or reader are 10 to 20 mm higher than the metal surround. (The value x ≥ 100 mm is valid, for example, for RF260R. It indicates that, for a distance x ≥ 100 mm, the reader can no longer be significantly affected by metal.) Remedy: Increase the non-metallic distance a, b. The following rule of thumb can be used: • Increase a, b by a factor of 2 to 3 over the values specified for metal-free areas • Increasing a, b has a greater effect for readers or transpond- ers with a large limit distance than for readers or transponders with a small limit distance.

4.3 Installation guidelines SIMATIC RF200 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 49 Mounting of several readers on metal frames or racks Any reader mounted on metal couples part of the field to the metal frame. There is normally no interaction as long as the minimum distance D and metal-free areas a, b are maintained. However, interaction may take place if an iron frame is positioned unfavorably. Longer data transfer times or sporadic error messages at the communication module are the result. Mounting of several readers on metal racks Problem: Interaction between readers Remedy Increase the distance D between the two readers. Remedy Introduce one or more iron struts in order to short- circuit the stray fields. Remedy Insert a non-metallic spacer of 20 to 40 millimeter thickness between the reader and the iron frame. This will significantly reduce the induction of stray fields on the rack: 4.3.3 Effects of metal on different transponders and readers Mounting different transponders and readers on metal or flush-mounting Certain conditions have to be observed when mounting the transponders and readers on metal or flush-mounting. For more information, please refer to the descriptions of the individual transponders and readers in the relevant section.

4.3 Installation guidelines SIMATIC RF200 50 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 4.3.4 Impact of metal on the transmission window In general, the following points should be considered when mounting RFID components: ● Direct mounting on metal is allowed only in the case of specially approved transponders. ● Flush-mounting of the components in metal reduces the field data; a test is recommended in critical applications. ● When working inside the transmission window, make sure that no metal rail (or similar part) intersects the transmission field. The metal rail would affect the field data. ● With readers with a large antenna surface (e.g. RF260R) for reasons of communication reliability, when the transponders are flush mounted in metal, a metal-free space around the transponders is recommended. This metal-free space should match the size of the antenna surface. The impact of metal on the field data (Sg, Sa, L) is shown in a table in this section. The values in the tables describe field data reduction and show the reduced range as a percentage. The range relates to use in a non-metallic environment. A value of 100% means no influence on the range.

Please allow for a possible reduction in the field data values.

Note that the antenna splitter is a purely passive device that splits the power at the input to two outputs and therefore halves it. This is possible both in PC mode (RS-232) and CM mode (RS-422). You can cascade the antenna splitters in such a way that up to 4 antennas can be connected at the same time. The antenna multiplexer RF260X works only in PC mode (RS-232) in time division multiplex mode. This means that each antenna operates with full power for a certain time before the device moves on automatically to the next antenna. The antenna multiplexer normally operates in scan mode or buffered read mode which with suitable parameter assignment add the information about the antenna number to the reply of the transponder. You can operate up to six antennas on one reader via the multiplexer.

A prerequisite is that there are no magnetically conducting materials (e.g. metal) in the vicinity of the antenna or the label. Figure 4-15 Possible configuration of RF290R with ANT D5/D6/D10

4.3 Installation guidelines SIMATIC RF200 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 75 4.3.5.2 Antenna installation Configuring instructions The antenna installation described below enables detection of transponders moving horizontally through the installation. Depending on the installation (antennas exactly opposite each other or offset in parallel), the label is aligned in parallel with the antennas or arbitrarily. The size of the sensing range depends on the label alignment: Note Remember that the entire acquisition range of the antenna is larger than the transmission window in which the transponder is normally configured. This means there can be label alignments where even labels outside the transmission window will be identified. Labels aligned in parallel with the antennas, for example, can also be detected at larger distances beside or outside the antenna range. For this reason, goods with labels must not be stored within a distance of up to 0.5 m from the installation. If this cannot be complied with, the antennas must be shielded. To achieve three-dimensional detection of the labels in the sensing range, the following requirements must be met: • The gate width must be less than or equal to 800 mm. • The antenna size of the labels should be at least the size of an ISO card (85 mm x 54 mm). • The distance from label to label must be greater than 100 mm. The distance from label to label can be reduced if the gate width is correspondingly reduced. This applies especially for distances under 50 mm. • There should be no more than 16 labels within the sensing range of the antennas at the same time. The number of labels can be increased if the gate width is correspondingly reduced and the maximum speed suitably adapted. • The maximum speed of the labels must not exceed 1 m/s. (This depends on the number and alignment of the labels, the number of data blocks to be processed, the data protocol required and the label type). • To the front and sides of the antenna, there must be a distance of more than 150 mm to metal parts. • There must be no interference to the write/read device from other electrical equipment in the surrounding area. Note The RF290R reader is not capable of multitag operation in the CM mode.

Installation information The cables on the antennas and the antenna splitter are 3.3 m or 10.5 m long. The write/read device must be installed in the vicinity of the antennas. If there are greater distances between the write/read device and the antennas, the antenna cable can be increased by 7.2 m with the extension (6GT2691-0DH72). This results in shorter ranges.

Serious loss of sensing range must be expected above 50 mm. There is no discernible influence at distances greater than 150 mm from the metal. ● The influence of the metal depends heavily on its size and shape. Thin metal rods have less influence on the magnetic field than large surfaces. ● Larger metal surfaces (edge length > 50 mm) in parallel with the antennas or labels result in a short-circuit of the magnetic lines of force. As a result, the labels cannot be read. ● Metal parts under the conveyor belt change the direction of the magnetic lines of force. Serious loss of sensing range must be expected as a result. Horizontally aligned labels cannot be read in such cases.

4.3 Installation guidelines SIMATIC RF200 78 System Manual, 07/2015, J31069-D0227-U001-A9-7618 ● The metal parts must not form closed loops or circuits. If necessary, these must be electrically interrupted at one point. ● The metal parts in the immediate vicinity of the antenna must be grounded in a mesh with a good HF connection. ● Since the write/read device is installed in a metal housing, and the antennas can couple into the cables to the write/read device, it must be installed at a distance of at least 500 mm from the antennas. Notes on installing and laying the antenna cable To suppress possible interference, an EMC hinged ferrite choke must be fitted to the antenna cables (as well as the antenna cable between the reader and the antenna splitter). The coaxial cable must be wound tightly at least four times through the EMC ring core. The maximum distance between the connecting plug for the reader or the antenna splitter and the ring core must be 100 mm. The antenna cable must always be run vertically from the antennas. A minimum distance of 200 mm to the antennas must be observed as the cables continue. Otherwise, performance losses must be expected. There must be a distance of at least 300 mm between antenna cables and parallel power cables. Unrequired cable length must be secured in a bundle with a diameter of 100 to 150 mm. If the standard antenna cable is too short, it can be increased by 7.20 m with the extension. Slight range losses must be expected here. To achieve optimal read ranges, the antenna cable should not be shortened or lengthened.
