SIMATIC RF630R reader
The SIMATIC RF630R reader has been specially designed for the requirements in production. The reader can be used with one or two external antennas (SIMATIC RF620A/640A/642A/660A). The device is integrated into automation systems via the RS422 system interface. Connection to PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and Industrial Ethernet or directly to SIMATIC S7-300 is supported (via communication modules SIMATIC RF170C/180C/182C or ASM 456/475).
Special functions are available for the difficult environmental conditions encountered in production environments, such as reflections and dead zones resulting from metal or superimposed radio fields due to a high reader density. In this manner, process stability is substantially increased by automatic adaptation of the transmit power and intelligent filtering of the reading results.
The SIMATIC RF-DIAG software is available for fast and simple commissioning and diagnostics.
The reader is easily configured by selecting pre-defined profiles and using the well-known FB45 and FB55 function blocks. These are available on the DVD "RFID Systems Software & Documentation" that can be ordered separately. For further information on the configuration, the runtime behavior of SIMATIC RF630R, and on the integration with SIMATIC controllers, please refer to the relevant documentation.
