SOLUTION & PARTNERSHIP

RFID technology is capable of detecting objects within a range of a few cm (HF frequency band 13.56 MHz) or several meters (UHF frequency band 860-960 MHz). Detection is reliable even in contaminated environments (oil, dust), bulk detection is possible, data can be modified, and medium to large volumes of data can be processed. The advantage of Siemens RFID technology is easy integration into PLC Simatic S7-300/400, S7-1200/1500, or PC.

With the advent of digitization and the concept of a digital factory, the importance of industrial localization RTLS or real-time tracking of targets (fixtures, AGVs, transport baskets, etc.) is growing. Wireless local broadband communication UWB (bandwidth 500 MHz at a frequency range of 3-7 GHz) operates with low emitted power, significantly reducing the risk of interference with other wireless communications in use. The result is extreme accuracy in the low tens of centimeters. Data obtained by tracking targets help identify bottlenecks and optimize production.

enables reading and writing of data. They are distinguished by shape, size, temperature resistance, number of writes, memory size FRAM or EEPROM, or reading distance, which is also determined by the selected read/write head.

DLAŽDICE IDENTIFIKACE RFID HLAVA P_FS10_XX_00791KRFID head RF260

enables reading and writing of data to/from the data carrier – transponder. The manufacturer categorizes them into more categories, in the HF band these are RF200 and RF300, in the UHF band then RF600.

SIMATIC RF300 is a compact, high-performance system for industrial identification operating in the HF band at a frequency of 13.56 MHz, with user memory up to 64 kB and protection up to IP68/IPX9K.

It has an unlimited number of writes, can be mounted directly on metal, temperature resistance up to 220 °C with ATEX certification for zone 2. It supports ISO 15693, ISO 18000-4 standards, works with high transfer rates up to 8 kB/s, and handles a reading distance up to 200 mm. The antenna is integrated or external, easy integration into PLC S7-300, ET200S, S7-1200/1500, ET200SP, programmed using STEP7 V5 or TIA STEP 7, integration into PC, RS422.

HALVA 600 P_IK10_XX_30728KRFID head RF685

SIMATIC RF600 operates in the UHF band at a frequency of 860–960 MHz and offers long-distance reading (in meters). The latest models are equipped with an antenna with automatic polarization, a larger integrated LED display. Robust design with IP65 protection finds use not only in industrial applications. A great advantage is the integrated PROFINET interface and compact design.

The manufacturer offers several variants. Very often RS422, PROFIBUS or PROFINET interfaces, which can be integrated directly into the RFID head in new models. Recently, the IO-Link interface, which is cost-competitive wherever there are no large distances between the head and the IO-Link interface in the decentralized peripheral (ET200SP), is also available.
