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 of the product range of MOBY D (MDS Dxxx).

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 S7-300, PROFIBUS, PROFINET and TCP/IP (XML).

IO-Link

For simple identification tasks (e.g. reading the identification number, "read-only") the RF210/RF220/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 two master modules, one for the SIMATIC ET 200eco PN (IP67) distributed I/O system at the field level and one for SIMATIC ET 200S (IP20) in the control cabinet. Both support seamless integration in the established PROFINET and PROFIBUS fieldbuses, and therefore also into the world of Totally Integrated Automation.

Both 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 master

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 2000 byte 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.

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).
