SIMATIC RF300
■ Overview
SIMATIC RF 300 is a non-contact identification system specially
designed for use in industrial production for the control and
optimization of the material flow. Thanks to its compact modular
structure, it is particularly suited for small assembly lines and
conveyor systems with restricted space for installation. The
rugged components stand out thanks to their attractive
price/performance ratio.
Depending on the demands on the identification system, two
versions of the system are available:
• A particularly cost-effective solution with a link to SIMATIC
S7-300 over the IQ-Sense interface for low requirements in
terms of speed and data volume
• Read/write devices for high demands in terms of speed and
data volume for connection to SIMATIC, PROFIBUS, PC or
other vendors controllers (available soon)
The SIMATIC RF300 identification system boasts the following
features:
• Operating frequency 13.56 MHz
• Passive (without battery) transponders (tags)
• Rugged, compact components
• Very high immunity to noise
• Extensive diagnostic functions
• Extremely fast data transmission (except for IQ-Sense interface)
• Simple integration into SIMATIC and the PROFIBUS DP

■ Overview (continued)
SIMATIC RF300 mobile data memory
SIMATIC RF320T
Universal, compact transponder (20 + 4 bytes EEPROM),
∅ 27 mm x 4 mm (1.06 in x 0.16 in), not suitable for mounting
directly on metal, IP67/IPX9K degree of protection 1) , temperature
range up to 85 °C (176 °F)
SIMATIC RF340T
Universal transponder (8 KB FRAM + 4 bytes EEPROM),
48 mm x 25 mm x 15 mm (1.89 in x 0.98 in x 0.59 in), IP68
degree of protection, temperature range up to 85 °C (176 °F)
SIMATIC RF300 read/write device
SIMATIC RF310R
Ideal for use on small assembly lines. Reader with integrated
antenna and IQ-Sense interface, IP65 degree of protection,
temperature up to 70 °C (158 °F), max. read/write distance of
35 mm (1.38 in), connection to SIMATIC S7-300/ET 200M
(8-IQ-Sense module)
■ Benefits
Minimization of commissioning overhead thanks to direct
connection of system to S7-300, PROFIBUS, Ethernet and other
vendors controllers PLC or PC.
Minimization of downtimes thanks to:
• Fault-resistant data transmission
• Specific diagnostic information
• High data security under critical operating conditions
High-speed data processing thanks to high data transfer rates
on the "air interface".
SIMATIC RF300 records the data of objects quickly and reliably.
SIMATIC RF300 thereby ensures effective and cost-effective
automation.
■ Application
The RFID system SIMATIC RF 300 is used primarily for contactfree
identification of containers, pallets and workpiece holders in
a closed production cycle. This means that the data carriers
(transponders, tags) remain in the production chain and are not
shipped out with the products. Thanks to the compact enclosure
dimensions of the transponders as well as of the read/write devices,
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 or
pallet)
• Conveyor systems (e.g. hangers)
