SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 19 Safety Information 2.3 Safety distance to transmitter antenna Note User responsibility for modified product As a user of the modified product, you accept responsibility for use of the complete RFID product comprising both SIMATIC RF600 components and third-party RFID components. This particularly applies to modification or replacement of:

Antennas Antenna cables Power supply units with connection cables readers 2.3 Safety distance to transmitter antenna 2.3.1 Safety distance between transmitter antenna and personnel For antenna configurations where it is possible to be briefly or constantly within the transmission range of the antennas, as in loading ramps, for example, minimum distances must be maintained. Limits The ICRP (International Commission of Radiological Protection) has worked out limit values for human exposure to HF fields that are also recommended by the ICNIRP (International Commission of Non Ionizing Radiological Protection). In German legislation on emissions

(since 1997), the following limit values apply. These can vary according to frequency:

Frequency f [MHz]

10 - 400 400 - 2.000 2.000 - 300.000 Electrical field strength E [V/m]

27,5 1.375 x f1/2 61 Magnetic field strength H [A/m]

0,073 0.0037 x f1/2 0,16 The limit values for the 900 MHz reader antenna alternating field are thus:

Electrical field strength: E = 41.25 V/m Magnetic field strength: H = 0.111 A/m HF power density: E x H = 4.57 W/m2 20 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 Safety Information 2.3 Safety distance to transmitter antenna 2.3.2 Minimum distance to antenna in accordance with ETSI Minimum distance to antenna in accordance with ETSI (EU, EFTA, Turkey) At a transmission frequency of 900 MHz, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave is approximately 0.34 m. For distances less than 1 in the near field, the electrical field strength (1/r) diminishes exponentially to the power three over distance, and for distances greater than 1 , it diminishes exponentially to the power two over distance. The horizontal line at 41.25 V/m marks the "safety limit value". For the maximum permitted transmit power (1/r2) in accordance with ETSI (2 W ERP), the

"safety distance" is d = 0.24 m. This means that personnel should not remain closer than 24 cm to the transmitter antenna for extended periods (for several hours without interruption). Remaining within the vicinity of the antenna for a brief period, even for repeated periods (at a distance < 0.24 m), is harmless according to current knowledge. Distance to transmitter antenna [m]

The radiated power depends on the antenna cable and the antenna used, but must not exceed 2 W ERP. The SIMATIC RF650R (ETSI) reader has a maximum transmit power of 1 W. The radiated power therefore depends on the antenna cable and the antenna used, but must not exceed 2 W ERP. The SIMATIC RF680R (ETSI) reader has a maximum transmit power of 2 W. The radiated power therefore depends on the antenna cable and the antenna used, but must not exceed 2 W ERP. The SIMATIC RF685R (ETSI) reader has a maximum radiated power of 2 W ERP. The safety clearance is therefore at least 0.24 m. When using Siemens products and with suitable configuration via the WBM, the high limits cannot be exceeded. 2.3.3 Minimum distance to antenna in accordance with FCC (USA) Minimum distance to antenna in accordance with FCC (USA) For the maximum permitted radiated power in accordance with FCC (4 W EIRP), the "safety distance" is d = 0.26 m. This means that personnel should not remain closer than 26 cm to the transmitter antenna for extended periods (several hours without interruption). Remaining within the vicinity of the antenna for brief period, even repeated periods (at a distance < 0.26 m) is harmless to health according to current knowledge. 22 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 Safety Information 2.3 Safety distance to transmitter antenna The horizontal line at 41.25 V/m marks the "safety limit value".

Note Reduced maximum radiated power with RF600 readers The SIMATIC RF615R (FCC) reader has a maximum transmit power of 400 mW. The radiated power depends on the antenna cable and the antenna used, but must not exceed 2 W ERP. The SIMATIC RF650R (FCC) reader has a maximum transmit power of 1 W. The radiated power therefore depends on the antenna cable and the antenna used, but must not exceed 4 W EIRP. The SIMATIC RF680R (FCC) reader has a maximum transmit power of 2 W. The radiated power therefore depends on the antenna cable and the antenna used, but must not exceed 4 W EIRP. The SIMATIC RF685R (CC) reader has a maximum transmit power of 2 W. This means that the safety distance is at least 0.12 m. When using Siemens products and with suitable configuration via the WBM, the high limits cannot be exceeded.

UHF technology supports large write/read distances with passive transponders. The general automation and IT structure of a company is shown in the following figure. This comprises several different levels that are described in detail below. Figure 3-1 System overview SIMATIC RF600 with RF650R, RF680R, RF685R SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 25 System overview of SIMATIC RF600 3.1 Application areas of RF600 Acquisition level This level contains the RFID readers that read the appropriate transponder data and transfer it to the next higher level. Control level At the control level, the RFID data is collected, preprocessed and made available to the production control and business administration control levels for further processing. IT level The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) closes the gap between the data that arises in the automation environment (control level) and the logistic and commercial processes of the company (business administration control). MES solutions are used, for example, for defining and performing production processes. 3.1 Application areas of RF600 RFID (radio frequency identification) permits continuous identification, tracking and documentation of all delivered, stocked and shipped goods in the incoming goods, warehouse, production, production logistics and distribution departments. A small data medium - referred to as SmartLabel, transponder or tag - is attached to every item, package or pallet, and contains all important information. The data medium receives the power it requires via an antenna which is also used for data transmission. 26 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 System overview of SIMATIC RF600 3.2 System components 3.2 System components Table 3- 1 System components of the RF600 product series Product photo Description SIMATIC RF615R RF615R reader is suitable for applications in production logistics and distribution.

Possible system configurations Antenna configurations Environmental conditions for transponders The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band Regulations applicable to frequency bands EMC Directives 4.2 Possible system configurations The SIMATIC RF600 system is characterized by a high level of standardization of its components. This means that the system follows the TIA principle throughout: Totally Integrated Automation. It provides maximum transparency at all levels with its reduced number of interfaces. This ensures optimum interaction between all system components. The RF600 system with its flexible components offers many possibilities for system configuration. This section shows you how you can use the RF600 components on the basis of various example scenarios. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 33 RF600 system planning 4.2 Possible system configurations 4.2.1 Intralogistics scenario This scenario describes the transport of material via conveyor systems that are made up of large numbers of standard elements. They are characterized by long distances, frequent branches (separators, infeed and outfeed), standardized transport containers and high movement speeds. The installation space available for identification technology is limited, and the high number of read points demands a low-cost solution. Due to the high movement speeds of transport containers in some cases, the limited space available and the fact that the read points are sometimes located very close together, the use of the RF600 system with space-saving antennas and a low transmit power can be recommended. Features of the scenario Intralogistics (material flow) Figure 4-1 Scenario: Intralogistics (material flow) The conveyor transports the transport containers past the antennas. The transponders attached to the transport containers are always evenly aligned. The transponders in this scenario are transponders of the type SIMATIC RF630L. The conveyor belt has a maximum width of approximately 80 cm in this example. The maximum transport speed is 2 m/s. With this arrangement, only a single transponder needs to be detected each time (single-tag). In this scenario, SIMATIC RF680R and RF685R are used as readers. Due to the limited space available and the low reading distances, the SIMATIC RF615A antennas are used in this example. As an alternative - with greater available space and to guarantee optimum read reliability - the SIMATIC RF650A antennas can also be used. Because the readers are connected in a bus topology, wiring requirements are reduced. The reader reads the information from the transponders on the transport containers and forwards it to the SIMATIC S7 controller. 34 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 RF600 system planning 4.2 Possible system configurations Intralogistics (separator) Power supply using Power over Ethernet Distributed small gate Trigger by light barrier on DI Figure 4-2 Scenario: Intralogistics (separator) Separator setting by means of DQ Mobile data acquisition Individual read point In this example scenario, items must be distributed to the correct storage location in a transport container via a separator. The transponders attached to the transport containers are always evenly aligned. The transponders in this scenario are transponders of the type SIMATIC RF630L. The conveyor belt has a maximum width of approximately 80 cm in this example. The maximum transport speed of the conveyor belt is 2 m/s. In this scenario, a SIMATIC RF615A with a SIMATIC RF615A external antenna is used as the reader. With the RF615R, a reader combining multiple advantages is used. In addition to its compact design, this low-cost reader is also characterized by low cabling requirements. When a transport container passes the light barrier , the reader reads the information from the transponder on the transport containers and forwards it to the SIMATIC S7 controller. The SIMATIC S7 controls the separator of the conveyor system depending on the transponder information. The SIMATIC RF650M mobile reader is used in this example for additional evaluation and visualization of the article data directly on site. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 35 RF600 system planning 4.2 Possible system configurations 4.2.2 Scenario for workpiece identification A typical characteristic of modern manufacturing scenarios is their multitude of variations. The individual data and production steps are stored in the transponder of a tool holder or product. These data are read by the machining stations during a production process and, if necessary, tagged with status information. This can be used to dynamically identify which production step is the next in the series. This has the advantage that the production line can work automatically without the need to access higher system components. The use of RFID therefore increases the availability of the plant. Figure 4-3 Scenario: Workpiece identification Features of the scenario Transponders are attached to workpiece holders. Their spatial orientation is always identical. With this arrangement, only a single transponder needs to be detected each time (single-

tag). The SIMATIC RF685R reader reads the information from the transponders with its integrated antenna or the external antenna RF680A and transfers it to the SIMATIC S7 controller. Depending on the stored transponder information, the SIMATIC S7 controller different control tasks, for example, automatically providing a suitable tool for an industrial robot at the correct time. In a metallic wireless environment or when lots of readers/antennas are mounted close together we recommend that you do not have the readers reading permanently. Instead execute specific read/write commands when an object/transponder is located in front of an antenna or passes it. This "triggering" can be implemented with light barriers or beros. This procedure reduces mutual influence/disruption of the read points and increases the 36 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 RF600 system planning 4.2 Possible system configurations identification quality of the wanted transponders while reducing the identification of unwanted transponders. 4.2.3 Goods tracking scenario In this scenario, a gate consisting of a SIMATIC RF650R reader and four antennas checks the goods passing through the gate. All stored goods are equipped with transponders. A traffic light indicates whether the goods may leave the warehouse. Figure 4-4 Scenario: Goods tracking Features of the scenario In this example scenario, the export of goods from a warehouse is checked using the SIMATIC RF650R reader and four SIMATIC RF650A antennas connected to it. A sensor registers when a vehicle passes the gate and reports this to the higher-level system, which then triggers a read operation via the reader. The reader reads the information from the transponders on the goods and forwards it to the user application, which checks the status of the goods. The traffic light is set to green or red depending on whether the goods are released. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 37 RF600 system planning 4.2 Possible system configurations 4.2.4 Scenario incoming goods, distribution of goods and outgoing goods The scenario consists of an RFID system with three readers. The SIMATIC RF650R reader with its four antennas identifies the incoming/outgoing products at the incoming/outgoing goods gates of a factory building hall through which pallets are delivered. Each pallet is fitted with a transponder. The transponders contain user data that provides information about the sender and receiver of the goods. This data is read out and passed on. The goods supplied on the pallets are processed in the factory and then exit the factory through the outgoing goods gate. Figure 4-5 Scenario: Incoming goods, distribution of goods and outgoing goods Features of the scenario In this example scenario, the SIMATIC RF685R reader is controlled by a light barrier and monitors a conveyor belt; the conveyor belt transports the goods towards two output gates that are assigned to different recipients. Each item has a transponder that is always fitted at the same position and with the same alignment on the item. These transponders also contain user data that provides information about the sender and receiver of the goods. There is a separator at the end of the conveyor belt that determines the output gate to which the goods should be directed. The separator is set according to the results from the reader and the goods are distributed. 38 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations After the sorter, the goods are loaded onto pallets - each pallet is fitted with a transponder. These transponders also contain user data that provides information about the sender and receiver of the goods. Based on the data read by the SIMATIC RF650R reader, there is a check to make sure that the correct pallets for the specific receiver are available at the outgoing goods gate. Light barriers are installed to control the reader. Depending on the read results of the reader, the outgoing portal opens, or it remains closed. 4.3 Antenna configurations Note Validity of antenna configuration The following information about the antenna configuration only applies to the antennas of the RF600 family. Refer to the Guidelines for selecting RFID UHF antennas (Page 51) for information on the configuration of third-party antennas.

The antennas are positioned at the height at which the transponders to be identified are expected. The maximum width of the portal recommended for reliable operation is 4 m. The diagram shows a configuration with three antennas. Up to four antennas can be used depending on the local conditions. Figure 4-6 Example of an antenna configuration with three antennas 40 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 4.3.2 Possibilities and application areas for antenna configurations Some basic antenna configurations and possible fields of application are shown below. With the various configurations, please note that up to four external antennas can be connected to the RF650R and F680R readers, while one external antenna can be connected to the RF615 and RF685R readers. The RF615R and RF685R readers also have an internal antenna. Antenna configuration 1 Description/ application areas This arrangement of antennas is appro-

priate when the transponders to be read are only located on one side of the goods to be acquired, for example, if a conveyor belt with passing goods has to be monitored during production and it is precisely defined on which side the tran-

sponders to be read are attached. Transponder SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 41 RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 42 Antenna configuration 2 Description/ application areas This arrangement of antennas is appro-

priate when the transponders to be read are only located on one side of the items to be identified, e.g. when pallets are to be identified and it is known on which side the transponders to be read are located. Transponder Antenna configuration 3 Description/ application areas Preferred for the identification of goods at loading gates: The transponder is located in the radiation field of two an-

tennas; for reliable transponder reading, the height of the transponders above floor level must therefore be known with reasonable accuracy.

Transponder Description/ application areas Preferred for the identification of goods at loading gates: The transponder is located in the radiation field of all four antennas, so the transponder position for reliable tag identification is more flexible than in configuration 2. Transponder SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 43 RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 44 Antenna configuration 6 Description/ application areas Preferred for the identification of goods at loading gates: Similar to configuration 4, but the reliability of transponder identi-

fication is improved as a result of the four antennas at separate locations, so the transponder position is not critical. Transponder Antenna configuration 7 Description/ application areas This tunnel configuration is suitable for conveyor belt applications. The goods with the transponders to be read are moving forwards on a conveyor belt but the alignment of the transponders rela-

tive to the antennas is not clearly de-

fined. One of the antenna is located on the floor and radiates vertically upwards in the direction of the conveyor belt. A relatively high reading reliability is achieved due to the use of four anten-

nas.

For maximum performance and to achieve the maximum read range, the transponder antenna should therefore be aligned parallel to the reader antenna:

Parallel transponder alignment Large reading range The probability of identification of the tran-

sponders is at a maximum. Vertical transponder alignment Minimal reading range The probability of identification of the tran-

sponders is at a minimum.

Between the antenna and liquids or metals, a minimum distance of 50 cm should be kept to. The distance between the antenna and the floor should also be at least 50 cm.

The following minimum distances apply with maximum transmit power.

In this case, the antennas must not exceed the maximum distance to one another. Table 4- 2 Maximum antenna spacing of the external antennas with a portal configuration Antenna configuration Antenna alignment RF600 reader with RF615A/RF620A Maximum distance (D) RF600 reader with RF640A/RF642A RF600 reader with RF650A/RF660A/RF680 A 8.0 m B 1) Portal spacing of up to 10 m is possible. The probability of a read must be checked. Pointing at each other 2.0 m 8.0 m Optimization of the antenna arrangement With the RF685R reader (with internal antenna) The RF685R reader has an integrated switchable antenna (circular or linear polarization). With the RF640A/RF642A/RF660A antennas The electrical aperture angles (vertical and horizontal) of the RF660A antenna are identical, with the RF640A/RF642A antennas they are similar. Therefore, the robustness of the readers' access to transponder data cannot be optimized for the RF660A and with the RF640A/RF642A it can be optimized only to a limited extent by rotating around the antenna axis. 4.3.6 Read and write range The read/write range between the reader/antenna and the transponder is influenced by the following factors:

Table 4- 3 Factors on the read/write range Factors Transmit power of the reader Transponder size and design Absorption factor of the materials Manufacturing quality of the tran-

sponders Description The higher the transmit power of the reader, the larger the reading range. The larger the transponder antenna, the larger the power input area and therefore the larger the reading range. The higher the absorption of the surrounding material, the smaller the reading range. The better the transponder has been matched to the oper-

ating frequencies during manufacturing, the greater the reading range. 48 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Factors Reflection characteristics of the envi-

ronment Number of transponders in the antenna field Description In a multiple-reflection environment (e.g., in rooms with reflecting surfaces, machinery, or concrete walls), the read-

ing range can be significantly higher than in a low-reflection environment. The typical ranges always relate to a transponder installed at the maximum possible distance from the antenna. If there are several transponders located in the antenna field, the distances to all other transponders must not ex-

ceed the maximum possible distance to be able to be de-

tected from the antenna field. The width and height of the antenna field within which its transponders can be arranged at a certain distance from the antenna depend on the following:

The radiated power, Only reading or reading and writing of the transponders

(writing requires more power, typically double the pow-

er) The aperture angle (horizontal) The aperture angle (vertical) You will find detailed information about the reading range of the individual readers in the

"Technical specifications" in the sections for the various readers. 4.3.7 Static/dynamic mode Reading or writing can be either static or dynamic. Reading/writing is counted as being static if the tag does not move in front of the antenna and is read or written. Reading/writing is counted as being dynamic if the tag moves past the antenna during reading/writing. The following overview shows which environments are suitable for which read or write mode:

Operating mode Static Dynamic Read Recommended in normal UHF environments Recommended under difficult UHF conditions Write Recommended in normal UHF environments Not recommended in difficult UHF environments SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 49 RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 4.3.8 Operation of several readers within restricted space 4.3.8.1 Using more than one reader When mounting the readers make sure that there is a minimum clearance of 0.5 m between the readers to avoid them influencing each other. Avoiding problems When several RFID readers are used, there is a danger that RFID transponders can also be read out by other readers. Care must therefore be taken to ensure that the transponder can only be identified by the intended reader. Technical disruptions between readers then occur particularly when they transmit on the same channel (on the same frequency). You will find more detailed information in the section

"The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band (Page 55)". 4.3.8.2 Optimization of robustness of tag data accesses for readers that are operated simultaneously Parameter data access reliability If several readers are to be operated simultaneously in an environment, then the following settings affect the reliability of the reader's access to transponder data:

Electromagnetic environment (see section "The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band (Page 55)") Type of transponder (see section "Transponder (Page 333)") Number of transponders to be detected by an antenna at a time Type of antenna (see section "Antennas (Page 205)" and section "Guidelines for selecting RFID UHF antennas (Page 51)") Transponders' distance from and orientation to antennas (see section "Transponder

(Page 333)") Distances and orientation of antennas of different readers to each other Radiated power of antennas The robustness of transponder data access is improved for readers whenever distances to adjacent readers are increased, radiated power is reduced, and a channel plan (for ETSI readers) is implemented. Adjacent readers are parameterized in the channel plan in such a way that they do not use the same channels. A channel plan can be created for ETSI and CMIT readers; for FCC readers, it is assumed that the probability of two readers accidentally using the same channel is very low. 50 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 4.3.8.3 Frequency hopping RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations This technique is intended to prevent mutual interference between readers. The reader changes its transmission channel in a random or programmed sequence (FHSS). Procedure for FCC Frequency hopping is always active in the FCC country profile. With 50 available channels the probability is low that two readers will be operating on the same frequency. In China, one reader operates on at least 2 channels, e.g. sixteen 2 watt channels. You will find more information on frequency ranges in the section "Regulations applicable to frequency bands (Page 86)". Procedure for ETSI Frequency hopping is optional in the ETSI wireless profile. According to ETSI EN 203 208 V1.4.1, frequency hopping is required in multi-channel operation; without it, only single-channel operation is possible. In this mode, the reader pauses for 100 ms after each 4 s transmission period to comply with the standard. 4.3.9 Guidelines for selecting RFID UHF antennas 4.3.9.1 Note safety information WARNING Before planning how to use third-party components, as the operator of a system that comprises both RF600 components and third-party components, you must comply with the safety information in Section Safety instructions for third-party antennas as well as for modifications to the RF600 system (Page 19). 4.3.9.2 Preconditions for selecting RFID UHF antennas Target group This section is aimed at configuration engineers who thoroughly understand and wish to carry out the selection and installation of an antenna or a cable for the SIMATIC RF600 system. The various antenna and cable parameters are explained, and information is provided on the criteria you must particularly observe. Otherwise this chapter is equally suitable for theoretical and practice-oriented users.

These influencing factors are described in more detail in sections "Antennas (Page 205)" and "Antenna cables

(Page 53)". Figure 4-9 Overview diagram: Influencing factors When operating the SIMATIC RF600 system, you need to observe additional influencing factors such as minimum spacing between antennas in the room. 52 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 Environmental conditions RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations NOTICE Damage to the device In line with the application, you must take into consideration the mechanical loads (shock and vibration) as well as environmental demands such as temperature, moisture, UV radiation. The device could be damaged if these factors are not considered. Specifying the transmit / radiated power Depending on whether you want to use a third-party antenna and/or antenna cable with a reader, you need to select the suitable components. When selecting third-party components orient yourself on the values of comparable Siemens products. With the readers, the parameters for the transmit/radiated power, antenna gain and cable loss (user-defined) are set using the WBM. In the WBM, you can select the Siemens products being used from a drop-down list quickly and easily, and the values and their effect on the transmit/radiated power are calculated directly. With third-party products, you can enter the relevant values manually. Based on the entered products/values, the WBM calculates the permitted radiated power and makes sure that this is not exceeded. 4.3.9.4 Types of antenna In principle, all types of directional antennas can be considered as antennas for integration into the SIMATIC RF600 system. Directional antennas have a preferred direction in which more energy is radiated than in other directions. RF600 antennas on the other hand, are optimized for operation with RF600 readers and have all the required approvals. 4.3.9.5 Antenna cables Selection criteria You must observe the criteria listed below when selecting the appropriate antenna cable. Characteristic impedance Note the following points when selecting the antenna cable:

You can only use coaxial antenna cables when connecting an antenna. These antenna cables must have a nominal characteristic impedance of Z = 50 Ohm. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 53 RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Antenna cable loss In order to be able to transmit the available UHF power from the RF600 reader to the antenna or antennas, the antenna cable loss should not exceed a value of approx. 5 dB. Dependency of the cable loss The cable loss depends on two important factors:

External characteristics of cable. These includes the cable length, diameter and design. As a result of the physical principle, the cable loss is also frequency-dependent. In other words, the cable loss increases the higher the transmitter frequency is. Therefore the cable loss must be specified in the frequency band from 860 to 960 MHz. Cable vendors usually provide tables or calculation aids for their types of cable which usually include the transmitter and receiver frequencies as well as the cable length. Therefore contact your cable vendor in order to determine the appropriate type of cable using the approximate value referred to above. Notes on use Shielding of the antenna cable Coaxial antenna cables generally have a shielded design and therefore radiate little of the transmitted power to the environment. Bending radius of the antenna cable The properties of the cable shield are influenced by mechanical loading or bending. You must therefore observe the static and dynamic bending radii specified by the cable vendor. Connectors and adapters You must use connectors and adapters of the type "Reverse Polarity R-TNC" (male connector) for your antenna cables to ensure correct connection to the RF600 reader interface. Figure 4-10 Thread standardization You can find more information in the catalog data of your cable vendor. 54 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 RF600 system planning 4.4 Environmental conditions for transponders Environmental conditions for transponders 4.4 Basic rules The transponder must not be placed directly on metal surfaces or on containers of liquid. The on-metal transponders designed specifically for use in metallic environments are an exception to this. For physical reasons, a minimum distance must be maintained between the transponder antenna and conductive material. A minimum distance of 5 cm is recommended. The transponder operates better when the distance is greater (between 5 and 20 cm). Transponder assembly on non-conductive material (plastic, wood) has a tendency to be less critical than assembly even on poorly conductive material. The best results are achieved on the materials specified by the transponder manufacturer. For more information, refer to the section "Transponder (Page 333)" or ask the relevant transponder manufacturer. 4.5 The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band 4.5.1 The effect of reflections and interference Reflections and interference Electromagnetic waves in the UHF band behave and propagate in a similar manner to light waves, that is they are reflected from large objects such as ceilings, floors, walls and windows and interfere with each other. Due to the nature of electromagnetic waves, interference can lead to wave amplification which can produce an increased reading range. In the worst case scenario, interference can also result in waves being extinguished which causes gaps in reader coverage. In some circumstances, reflections can also be beneficial when they cause electromagnetic waves to be routed around objects, in a sense (deflection). This can increase the reading probability. Due to these electromagnetic characteristics, it is extremely difficult in the multiple-reflection environment that is usually found in real environments on site to determine propagation paths and field strengths for a particular location. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 55 RF600 system planning 4.5 The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band Reducing the effect of reflections/interference on transponder identification Reducing the transmit power:

To minimize interference, we recommend that the transmit power of the reader is reduced until it is sufficient for an identification rate of 100%. Increasing the number of antennas:

More antennas (3 or 4) in a suitable antenna configuration can prevent gaps in reader coverage. 4.5.2 Influence of metals Metal can have an effect on the electromagnetic field depending on the arrangement or environment. The effect ranges from a hardly determinable influence through to total blocking of communication. The term metal in this context also includes metallized materials that are either coated with metal or shot through with metal to such an extent that UHF radiation cannot penetrate or only to a minimal extent. The effect of metal on the electromagnetic field can be prevented as follows:

Do not mount transponders on metal. The on-metal transponders designed specifically for use in metallic environments are an exception to this. Do not place metallic or conducting objects in the propagation field of the antenna and transponder. Influence of metal on transponders Normally transponders must not be mounted directly on metallic surfaces. The transponders designed specifically for use in metallic environments are an exception to this (e.g.: RF690L, RF620T, RF625T, RF630T, RF640T, RF680T). Due to the nature of the electromagnetic field, a minimum distance must be maintained between the transponder antenna and conductive materials. For more detailed information on the special case of attaching transponders to electrically conducting materials, refer to the relevant transponder sections. In the case of transponders that are not designed for mounting on metallic materials, the minimum permissible distance from metal is 5 cm. The larger the distance between the transponder and the metallic surface, the better the function of the transponder. Influence of metal on antennas Note that metal surfaces located directly in the antenna field reflect the transmitted power directly to the antenna. Due to the nature of the electromagnetic field, a minimum distance must be maintained between the antenna and conductive materials. You can find more detailed information on this in section "Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas (Page 46)". If the reflected energy becomes too strong in the receive path of the reader, this activates a protective circuit that shows itself as an antenna error without there actually being an error in the configuration or a defect on the antenna. 56 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 RF600 system planning 4.5 The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band This effect depends very much on the transmitted power, the components being used (cable, antenna) and the distance from the metallic surface to the antenna. In this case, repositioning/realigning the antenna or reducing the radiated power can remedy the situation. 4.5.3 Influence of liquids and non-metallic substances Non-metallic substances can also affect the propagation of electromagnetic waves and thus the transponder range. When non-metallic substances or objects that can absorb UHF radiation are located in the propagation field, these can alter the antenna field depending on their size and distance and can even extinguish the field entirely. The RF damping effect of water, materials containing water, ice and carbon is high. Electromagnetic energy is partly reflected and absorbed. Oil- or petroleum-based liquids have low RF damping. Electromagnetic waves penetrate these liquids and are only slightly weakened. 4.5.4 Influence of external components The RED guideline and the relevant standards govern the electromagnetic compatibility requirements. This also concerns the third-party components of the RF600 system. Even though requirements for electromagnetic compatibility are defined, various components will still interfere with each other. The performance of the RF600 system is highly dependent on the electromagnetic environment of the antennas. Reflections and interference On the one hand, antenna fields will be weakened by absorbing materials and reflected by conducting materials. When electromagnetic fields are reflected, the antenna field and reflecting fields overlap (interference). Third-party components in the same frequency band On the other hand, third-party components may transmit on the same frequency band as the reader, or the third-party components may transmit in different frequency bands with side bands that overlap with the frequency band of the reader. This results in a reduction of the

"signal-to-noise" ratio which reduces the performance of an RF600 system. If a DECT station that is transmitting in the 2 GHz band, for example, is located in the receiving range of an antenna of the RF600 system, the performance of the write and read access to the transponder may be reduced. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 57 RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points Due to their comparatively large effective range, RFID UHF systems (frequency band 865 -

928 MHz) have different requirements in terms of planning, commissioning and operation compared with the HF systems commonly used up to now in automation (frequency band 13.56 MHz). This section describes important rules for preparation and implementation of the RFID UHF systems. 4.6.1 Technical basics General In contrast to inductively coupled HF systems, in UHF technology, there is full propagation of the radio waves just as in other wireless systems (radio, TV etc). There are both magnetic and electrical field components present. The following graphic shows the structure of a UHF system. One characteristic is the design of the transponder that differs greatly from the structure used in HF systems, e.g. the use of a dipole or helix antenna. RSSI value Figure 4-11 Structure of a UHF RFID system The signal strength of the transponder response is known as the RSSI value (Received Signal Strength Indicator). The RSSI value is a one byte value (0 to 255), the higher the value the better the signal strength (according to the IEEE 802.11 standard). The actual RSSI value depends on numerous parameters:

transponder type used, chip used in the transponder, connected antenna, transmit power, 58 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points distance between antenna and transponder, reflections, noise level in the channel used and in neighboring channels The RSSI value is important for the automatic evaluation of the read point and for filtering. A simple comparison of the RSSI values of two transponders is nevertheless not possible because the values are influenced by the transponder tolerances and the non-homogeneous antenna field. This means that it is possible that a transponder positioned closer to the RFID antenna has a lower RSSI value than a transponder much further away. Propagation of the antenna field The waves do not propagate as a homogeneous field, there is superposition of the waves that can cause the following effects:

Overshoots and field gaps due to obliteration of two waves These are caused by reflection and the resulting propagation on different paths

(comparable with fading effects on the car radio, e.g. noise when the vehicle is standing) Generation of overshoots due to reflecting objects and surfaces This can be illustrated by comparing it with a "hall of mirrors". The signal transmitted by the reader is reflected (several times) by metallic objects such as housings, steel supports or grilles and this can lead to unwanted effects and read errors. Is also possible that a transponder is not identified although it is located in the assumed direct identification range of the reader. It can also happen that a transponder moving outside the antenna field is read out due to overshoots. Identification situation with two transponders in an ideal radio/antenna field Identification situation with two transponders in a real radio/antenna field with reflections that can lead to obliteration and overshoots Figure 4-12 Propagation of UHF RFID antenna fields SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 59 RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points Properties of the transmitting antenna Depending on their design, UHF RFID antennas provide different properties. They differ in the polarization and antenna gain. The direction of the electrical field component of an electromagnetic wave and the alignment of the antenna decide the polarization of the radiation. A distinction is made between linear and circular polarization of an antenna. With linear polarization you achieve the maximum write/read distances when the polarization axes of the antenna and transponder are parallel to each other. As the deviation increases, the received power deteriorates. Polarization axes parallel: approx. 100 % range Polarization axis turned through 45: approx. 50% range Polarization axis turned through 90: approx. 10% range Figure 4-13 Effect of the polarization axes on the write/read distance with linear antennas Linear antennas can only be used if the alignment of the transponder is defined. On the other hand, one advantage of linear antennas is that they react less sensitively to reflections. This restriction does not apply with circular polarization. Circular antennas can also be used with differing alignments of the transponder and achieve constant results (e.g. RF680A or RF685R). It has been shown that with a defined transponder alignment, the linear antenna normally produces the best results. 4.6.2 Implementation of UHF RFID installations The use of UHF RFID systems requires careful planning and preparation to avoid problems during commissioning and operation. 60 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points 4.6.2.1 Preparation phase Device selection When selecting the suitable RFID hardware, remember the following minimum criteria:

Integration in a control/IT environment Degree of protection Size of the identification range Type, number and position of the transponders in the antenna field Reflecting and absorbent materials in the vicinity of the antenna Distance between the antenna or the reader and the transponder The following application examples illustrate the requirements for specific use cases and provide suitable solutions:

Read point in a conveyor system in confined installation conditions:

A container should be transported in a conveyor system. Information on the next transport section is contained in a transponder which is attached to the side of the container. Possible configuration: RF615R with integrated internal antenna and a compact external antenna (e.g. RF615A, RF620A) RFID gate at the incoming goods / outgoing goods department:

Several transponders are located on different packaging of products on a pallet. These need to be identified when passing through the RFID gate. Possible configuration: RF650R with four circular antennas (e.g. RF650A, RF660A depending on the required radiated power) Four read points along the production line:

A product needs to be processed by different machines along the production line. The information for this is contained on a transponder attached to the product that must be read out at each machine. Possible configuration: RF680R with four antennas (e.g. RF615A, RF620A, RF680A) Read point on a production line with a predominantly metallic environment:

A product needs to be processed by different machines along the production line. The information for this is contained on a transponder attached to the product that must be read out at each machine. Possible configuration: RF685R with integrated adaptive antenna SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 61 RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points Dynamic identification Triggering Dead spots cannot be excluded. To be able to compensate for dead spots, we recommend that you give preference to dynamic identification rather than static identification. Dynamic identification means that the transponders are read while they are moving (e.g. on the conveyor belt). If static identification is necessary, the antenna field can e virtually dynamized with the RF685R antenna or RF680A. To read out all right transponder data, you can have the readers perform permanent write/read actions or have specific write/read actions triggered. For the following reasons, we recommend that you trigger specific write/read actions:

The RFID system only performs write/read actions when an object to be identified enters the antenna field. This reduces the number of process errors and they can be identified more quickly. Due to the fact that the various RFID systems only perform write/read actions when necessary, this reduces the possibility of antenna fields disrupting each other. This increases process reliability in plants, particularly when there is a high reader density. Decoupling third-party RFID systems If you are using different RFID systems, make sure that no two systems are active at the same time or operate separately from each other. Ideally there should be no mixed usage. Training Make sure that the engineers commissioning the UHF RFID systems are adequately trained. 4.6.2.2 Test phase Metals and absorbent materials have a major influence on the functioning of UHF RFID systems. Since every environment has different conditions, we recommend that you run a test with all the objects to be identified for each read point. Include neighboring readers in these tests as well as scenarios for overshoots. Run through the tests an adequate number of times to make sure that any sporadically occurring influences on the antenna fields are also tested. The final position of the transponder should only be decided after an adequately intensive test phase so that suitable variations can be tried out if errors occur. 4.6.2.3 Setting up read points The read point setup described in this section is performed using the Web Based Management (WBM) and applies to the RF600 readers. You can find a detailed description of the WBM in the configuration manual "SIMATIC RF600

(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/ps/15081/man)". 62 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 Adjust antennas RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points Follow the steps below to optimize the antenna alignment:

1. Position the object fitted with a transponder and to be identified at the required read point. 2. Align the reader or the antenna so that its front points in the direction of the object

(transponder) to be identified. Keep to the minimum distances between antennas and transponders to avoid antenna errors. When using linear antennas, make sure the polarization direction is correct. 3. In the "Settings - Adjust antenna" menu item, select the connected antenna and click the

"Start adjustment" button. Figure 4-14 Optimizing the antenna alignment with the "Settings - Adjust antenna" menu item of the WBM SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 63 RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points 4. In the "RSSI display" area, you can see the current (light blue) and maximum reached

(dark blue) RSSI values. Note Transponder is not identified If no transponder is identified, first increase the radiated power as described in the following section. Then repeat the antenna adjustment. Also check the polarization of your antenna. If the transponder always has the same alignment, the antenna polarization should be adapted accordingly. If the transponder moves or the alignment of the transponder varies, it is advisable to combine several antenna polarization types or to select a circular polarization. 5. Optimize the antenna adjustment until the maximum possible RSSI value is reached. 6. Secure the antenna. Note that the RSSI value depends on the following components:

transponder used, antenna used, Polarization, reflecting and absorbent materials in the vicinity of the antenna. Radiated power Using the "Settings - Read points" menu item of the WBM, you can set the radiated power. Select the radiated power so that the required transponders can be identified reliably but without overreach. In this case, the following applies: "as much as necessary, as little as possible". In the "Settings - Activation power" menu item, you can find the optimum radiated power for reliable transponder access. 64 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 Detect activation power RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points Follow the steps below to detect the activation power:

1. In the "Settings - Activation power" menu item, select the connected antenna and click the "Start measurement" button. 2. In the "Min. power" column of the transponder list, you can see the required activation power. The value "Min. power" of the transponder last selected in the transponder list is automatically transferred to the "Accept power" box with 2 dB added. Note Optimizing the radiated power The value entered automatically in the "Accept power" box corresponds to the minimum value with which the transponder was identified by the antenna (Min. power) plus a power reserve of 2 dB. This value serves as a guideline and you can adapt it. To be sure that the antenna reliably detects the transponders regularly, we recommend that you accept the automatically adapted default value. Figure 4-15 Determining the activation power using the "Settings - Activation power" menu item 3. Click the "Apply" button to transfer the value entered in the "Radiated power" input box of the "Settings - Read points" menu item. 4. Click the symbol to transfer the configuration to the reader. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 65 RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points 4.6.3 Dealing with field disturbances 4.6.3.1 Types and approaches to solutions The superposition of radio waves and reflection by conductive materials (in particular metal) can lead to weakening or strengthening of the antenna field at certain points in space. These effects can lead to disruptions when identifying RFID transponders that can be distinguished as follows:

Overshoots due to increasing field strength: Transponders are detected that are actually beyond the read distance. Approaches to solutions:

Reduction of the radiated power Determining the input attenuation Use of UHF algorithms Changing the antenna position Shielding measures Varying the antenna polarization Use antennas with a lower gain Use antennas with adjustable polarization Lack of separation of transponders: Transponders positioned close together are detected together although the application logic requires individual detection (for example to determine the positioning order). All transponders are within the read distance. Approaches to solutions:

Reduction of the radiated power Use of UHF algorithms Changing the antenna position Shielding measures Use antennas with a lower gain Field obliteration: Due to the superposition of waves, obliteration effects occur within the read distance. Approaches to solutions:

Varying the antenna polarization Using additional antennas Use of UHF algorithms Changing the antenna position Shielding measures Use antennas with a lower gain 66 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points Reader reader influence: Several readers influence or disturb each other during transponder identification. Approaches to solutions:

"Interconnect" neighboring readers so that they do not send at the same time Enable intermissions ("Settings - General" menu item) Channel management Reader transponder influence: A reader communicates with a transponder that is also in the identification area of another reader. Solution approaches:

"Interconnect" neighboring readers so that they do not send at the same time Other sources of disturbances that can lead to restriction of transponder identification. Other sources of disturbances can occur if there are devices with similar frequency bands

(for example 900 MHz) in the vicinity of the reader. The diagnostics corresponds to the influence of one reader on another. Mobile phones can also disturb identification. This is the case if a reader of the type FCC or CMIIT is operated in Europe. Solution approaches:

The disturbances can be eliminated by temporarily turning off the suspected source of interference or its shielding. Interference can also occur with devices in other frequency bands if these are located in the immediate vicinity of the RFID antenna

(e.g. DECT telephone directly in front of the RFID antenna). Common industrial interference mechanisms, such as the harmonics of frequency converters or static discharge (ESD) can also cause disturbances. Note Occurrence of disturbances Remember that these disturbances can also occur sporadically or in certain combinations. 4.6.3.2 Measures for eliminating field disturbances Using shields To avoid reflections, you can fit UHF absorbent material. To do this, the absorbent material is mounted at various suspected reflection points until the field disturbance no longer occurs. Where possible, avoid the use of metal structures (for example housings) and use plastic instead. Even with reader-to-reader influence, you can use absorbent plates or shielding sheets. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 67 RF600 system planning 4.6 Planning and installation of UHF read points Channel management To operate the readers, depending on the country profile, you have between four and fifty send channels available. Ideally, you should make the channel assignments manually in STEP 7 Basic / Professional (TIA Portal) or in the WBM. This allows you to reduce reader-to reader influence and if applicable field obliteration. Table 4- 4 Example of a channel plan according to ETSI Reader Transmission channel Frequency

... .. .. Use of multiple antennas If you do not find the ideal antenna position to be able to identify the transponders in the various positions and alignments, you have the option of using more antennas. Multiple antennas mounted at different positions enlarge the identification range. Enabling send pauses If too many neighboring readers send at the same time, this causes overload of the radio channels. In this case, enable the "Intermissions" function in the "Settings - General" menu item to improve read reliability. Varying the antenna polarization By using linear or circular antennas, you can reduce field obliteration. This improves the reader reliability in difficult radio conditions. The RF685R and RF680 readers also provide the option of operating the internal or external antenna both as a linear, vertical, linear horizontal and circular antenna. If more than one polarization is enabled, the polarization is changed automatically with each inventory. This increases the probability of identification in difficult radio conditions. Changing the antenna position In difficult radio conditions (e.g. where there is a lot of metal) it is possible that the communication between transponders and readers is impaired. You can counter this by changing the position of the antenna relative to the transponder. This also changes the multipath propagation of the radio waves and obliteration is reduced or shifted. Use of UHF algorithms In the "Settings - Read points" menu item of the WBM, you will find various "Tools" in the

"Algorithms" area that you can use to improve the read/write reliability. 68 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 4.7 RF600 system planning 4.7 Chemical resistance of the readers and transponders Chemical resistance of the readers and transponders 4.7.1 Readers 4.7.1.1 Overview of the readers and their housing materials Resistance to chemicals depends on the housing materials used to manufacture the reader.

Since these are changed regularly, we recommend that you check the current country-specific frequency bands and approvals directly on the Internet page of EPCglobal. You will find the current country-specific frequency bands and approvals on the following Internet page:

Wireless approvals of SIMATIC RFID systems (http://www.siemens.com/rfid-approvals) 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.9.1 Overview These EMC directives answer the following questions:

Why are EMC directives necessary?

What types of external interference have an impact on the system?

How can interference be prevented?

How can interference be eliminated?

Examples of interference-free plant design The description is aimed at "qualified personnel":

Configuration engineers and planners who plan system configurations with RFID modules and have to observe the necessary guidelines. Installation and service engineers who install the connecting cables in accordance with this description or who rectify defects in this area in the event of interference. Note Observe the EMC directives Failure to observe the specifically emphasized notes can result in dangerous conditions in the plant or the destruction of individual components or the entire plant. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 86 RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.9.2 What does EMC mean?

The increasing use of electrical and electronic devices is accompanied by:

Higher component density More switched power electronics Increasing switching rates Lower power consumption of components due to steeper switching edges The higher the degree of automation, the greater the risk of interaction between devices. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of an electrical or electronic device to operate satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment without affecting or interfering with the environment over and above certain limits. EMC can be broken down into three different areas:

Internal immunity to interference:

Immunity to internal (own) electrical disturbance External immunity to interference:

Immunity to external electromagnetic disturbances Degree of interference emission:

Emission of interference and its effect on the electrical environment All three areas are considered when testing an electrical device. The RFID modules are tested for conformity with the limit values required by the CE and RED directives. Since the RFID modules are merely components of an overall system, and sources of interference can arise as a result of combining different components, certain directives have to be followed when setting up a plant. EMC measures usually consist of a complete package of measures, all of which need to be implemented in order to ensure that the plant is immune to interference. Note Adherence to EMC directives The plant manufacturer is responsible for the observance of the EMC directives; the plant operator is responsible for radio interference suppression in the overall plant. All measures taken when setting up the plant prevent expensive retrospective modifications and interference suppression measures. The plant operator must comply with the locally applicable laws and regulations. They are not covered in this document. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 87 RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.9.3 Basic rules It is often sufficient to follow a few elementary rules in order to ensure electromagnetic compatiblity (EMC). The following rules must be observed:

Shielding by enclosure Protect the device against external interference by installing it in a cabinet or housing. The housing or enclosure must be connected to the chassis ground. Use metal plates to shield against electromagnetic fields generated by inductances. Use metal connector housings to shield data conductors. Wide-area ground connection Plan a meshed grounding concept. Bond all passive metal parts to chassis ground, ensuring large-area and low-HF-

impedance contact. Establish a large-area connection between the passive metal parts and the central grounding point. Don't forget to include the shielding bus in the chassis ground system. That means the actual shielding busbars must be connected to ground by large-area contact. Aluminium parts are not suitable for ground connections. Plan the cable installation Break the cabling down into cable groups and install these separately. Always route power cables, signal cables and HF cables through separated ducts or in separate bundles. Feed the cabling into the cabinet from one side only and, if possible, on one level only. Route the signal cables as close as possible to chassis surfaces. Twist the feed and return conductors of separately installed cables. Routing HF cables:

avoid parallel routing of HF cables. Do not route cables through the antenna field. Shielding for the cables Shield the data cables and connect the shield at both ends. Shield the analog cables and connect the shield at one end, e.g. on the drive unit. Always apply large-area connections between the cable shields and the shielding bus at the cabinet inlet and make the contact with clamps. 88 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Feed the connected shield through to the module without interruption. Use braided shields, not foil shields. Line and signal filter Use only line filters with metal housings Connect the filter housing to the cabinet chassis using a large-area low-HF-impedance connection. Never fix the filter housing to a painted surface. Fix the filter at the control cabinet inlet or in the direction of the source. 4.9.4 Propagation of electromagnetic interference Three components have to be present for interference to occur in a system:

Interference source Coupling path Interference sink Figure 4-16 Propagation of interference If one of the components is missing, e.g. the coupling path between the interference source and the interference sink, the interference sink is unaffected, even if the interference source is transmitting a high level of noise. The EMC measures are applied to all three components, in order to prevent malfunctions due to interference. When setting up a plant, the manufacturer must take all possible measures in order to prevent the occurrence of interference sources:

Only devices fulfilling limit class A of VDE 0871 may be used in a plant. Interference suppression measures must be introduced on all interference-emitting devices. This includes all coils and windings. The design of the system must be such that mutual interference between individual components is precluded or kept as small as possible. Information and tips for plant design are given in the following sections. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 89 RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Interference sources In order to achieve a high level of electromagnetic compatibility and thus a very low level of disturbance in a plant, it is necessary to recognize the most frequent interference sources. These must then be eliminated by appropriate measures.

Erect suitable damping materials between the antennas. Reduce the power of the readers. Please follow the instructions in the section Installation guidelines/reducing the effects of metal 4.9.5 Equipotential bonding Potential differences between different parts of a plant can arise due to the different design of the plant components and different voltage levels. If the plant components are connected across signal cables, transient currents flow across the signal cables. These transient currents can corrupt the signals. Proper equipotential bonding is thus essential. The equipotential bonding conductor must have a sufficiently large cross section (at least 10 mm2). The distance between the signal cable and the associated equipotential bonding conductor must be as small as possible (antenna effect). A fine-strand conductor must be used (better high-frequency conductivity). When connecting the equipotential bonding conductors to the centralized equipotential bonding strip (EBS), the power components and non-power components must be combined. The equipotential bonding conductors of the separate modules must lead directly to the equipotential bonding strip. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 91 RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-17 Equipotential bonding (EBS = Equipotential bonding strip) The better the equipotential bonding in a plant, the smaller the chance of interference due to fluctuations in potential. Equipotential bonding should not be confused with protective earthing of a plant. Protective earthing prevents the occurrence of excessive contact voltages in the event of equipment faults whereas equipotential bonding prevents the occurrence of differences in potential. 4.9.6 Cable shielding Signal cables must be shielded in order to prevent coupling of interference. The best shielding is achieved by installing the cables in steel tubes. However, this is only necessary if the signal cable is routed through an environment prone to particular interference. It is usually adequate to use cables with braided shields. In either case, however, correct connection is vital for effective shielding. The following generally applies:

For analog signal cables, the shield has to be connected at one end on the receiver side For digital signals, the shield has to be connected to the enclosure at both ends Since interference signals are frequently within the HF range (> 10 kHz), a large-area HF-

proof shield contact is necessary 92 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-18 Cable shielding The shielding bus should be connected to the control cabinet enclosure in a manner allowing good conductance (large-area contact) and must be situated as close as possible to the cable inlet. The cable insulation must be removed and the cable clamped to the shielding bus (high-frequency clamp) or secured using cable ties. Care should be taken to ensure that the connection allows good conductance. Figure 4-19 Connection of shielding bus The shielding bus must be connected to the PE busbar. If shielded cables have to be interrupted, the shield must be continued via the corresponding connector housing. Only suitable connectors may be used for this purpose. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 93 RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-20 Interruption of shielded cables If intermediate connectors, which do not have a suitable shield connection are used, the shield must be continued by fixing cable clamps at the point of interruption. This ensures a large-area, HF-conducting contact. 94 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 Readers 5 5.1 Overview The following table shows the most important features of the stationary RF600 readers at a glance:

There are 8 color-coded single wires there for connecting to external devices. The product range includes additional cables of the type 6GT2891-0Fxxx (2 to 50 m) with an M12 connector at both ends. These cables can be used as extension cables. Long cables can be shortened if necessary. NOTICE Insulate unused single wires Unused single wires must be insulated individually to prevent unwanted connections of signal lines. NOTICE For long cables: Adapt the power supply and transmission speed Note that even with long cables, the supply voltage of 24 VDC must always be guaranteed. Note also that the transmission speed on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced. SIMATIC standard cables (e.g. 6GT2891-4FN10) have a loop resistance of 160 mOhm /

meter. This results in a voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the 24 V cable for every 10 meters of connecting cable and with a power requirement of 500 mA. If the power requirement increases through the use of the digital inputs/outputs, the voltage drop increases accordingly.

To prevent the antenna fields from overlapping, always observe the recommended minimum distances between two readers as described in the section "Reciprocal influence of read points (Page 47)". Dense Reader Mode (DRM) The readers can also interfere with each other (secondary fields), if the channels (Reader TX, Transponder TX) overlap. In order to prevent a transponder channel overlapping with a reader channel, we recommend that the Dense Reader Mode (DRM) is used. Note Protective cap If you only use the internal antenna of the reader, we recommend that you close the external, unused antenna connector on the reader using the supplied protective cap.

Comment 128 The cables with open cable ends (6GT2891-4EH20, 6GT2891-4EH50) have an 8-pin M12 plug at one end, while the other end of the cable is "open". There are 8 color-coded single wires there for connecting to external devices. The product range includes additional cables of the type 6GT2891-0Fxxx (2 to 50 m) with an M12 connector at both ends. These cables can be used as extension cables. Long cables can be shortened if necessary. NOTICE Insulate unused single wires Unused single wires must be insulated individually to prevent unwanted connections of signal lines. NOTICE For long cables: Adapt the power supply and transmission speed Note that even with long cables, the supply voltage of 24 VDC must always be guaranteed. Note also that the transmission speed on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced. SIMATIC standard cables (e.g. 6GT2891-4FN10) have a loop resistance of 160 mOhm /

meter. This results in a voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the 24 V cable for every 10 meters of connecting cable and with a power requirement of 500 mA. If the power requirement increases through the use of the digital inputs/outputs, the voltage drop increases accordingly.

If plug-in connectors from other manufacturers are used, it may be difficult or even impossible to remove the plug from the reader. Grounding connection On the top of the reader there is a blind drill hole (M4 x 8) for grounding. Tighten the screw with a torque of 1.5 Nm. WARNING Hazardous voltage due to lightning strikes Death or serious injury may occur as a result of lightning strikes to antennas mounted outside buildings. If the reader is operated with antennas mounted outside buildings, it is imperative that the reader is electrically connected to the ground potential. NOTICE Installation only in protected areas The antenna can be installed in the protected part of a building. When implementing your lightning protection concept, make sure you adhere to the VDE 0182 or IEC 62305 standards.

The standard setting is that an antenna is connected when the reader is started. When connecting multiple antennas, note the information in the section "Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas (Page 46)". With the WBM, you can set up various different configurations of antennas and/or reading points as required. Based on the number of data sources and subsequent assignment of the antennas, many tasks can be accomplished. Examples of possible antenna reading point configurations Four data sources each with one antenna for four different reading points. Two data sources each with two antennas for small portals. One data source with 4 antennas for large portals. You will find further information in the online help of the products. 130 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 5.3.3 Installation/mounting Requirement Readers 5.3 SIMATIC RF650R NOTICE Close unused connectors Note that the readers only have the specified degree of protection when all connectors are in use or when unused connectors are closed with the protective caps. CAUTION Emitted radiation The transmitter complies with the requirements of Health Canada and the FCC limit values for subjecting persons to HF radiation, provided that a minimum spacing of 26 cm exists between antenna and person. When the antennas are installed, you must therefore ensure that a minimum spacing of 26 cm is maintained between personnel and antennas.

Comment The cables with open cable ends (6GT2891-4EH20, 6GT2891-4EH50) have an 8-pin M12 plug at one end, while the other end of the cable is "open". There are 8 color-coded single wires there for connecting to external devices. The product range includes additional cables of the type 6GT2891-0Fxxx (2 to 50 m) with an M12 connector at both ends. These cables can be used as extension cables. Long cables can be shortened if necessary. NOTICE Insulate unused single wires Unused single wires must be insulated individually to prevent unwanted connections of signal lines. NOTICE For long cables: Adapt the power supply and transmission speed Note that even with long cables, the supply voltage of 24 VDC must always be guaranteed. Note also that the transmission speed on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced. SIMATIC standard cables (e.g. 6GT2891-4FN10) have a loop resistance of 160 mOhm /

meter. This results in a voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the 24 V cable for every 10 meters of connecting cable and with a power requirement of 500 mA. If the power requirement increases through the use of the digital inputs/outputs, the voltage drop increases accordingly.

The standard setting is that an antenna is connected when the reader is started. When connecting multiple antennas, note the information in the section "Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas (Page 46)". With the WBM, you can set up various different configurations of antennas and/or reading points as required. Based on the number of data sources and subsequent assignment of the antennas, many tasks can be accomplished. Examples of possible antenna reading point configurations Four data sources each with one antenna for four different reading points. Two data sources each with two antennas for small portals. One data source with 4 antennas for large portals. You will find further information in the online help of the products.

Comment 178 The cables with open cable ends (6GT2891-4EH20, 6GT2891-4EH50) have an 8-pin M12 plug at one end, while the other end of the cable is "open". There are 8 color-coded single wires there for connecting to external devices. The product range includes additional cables of the type 6GT2891-0Fxxx (2 to 50 m) with an M12 connector at both ends. These cables can be used as extension cables. Long cables can be shortened if necessary. NOTICE Insulate unused single wires Unused single wires must be insulated individually to prevent unwanted connections of signal lines. NOTICE For long cables: Adapt the power supply and transmission speed Note that even with long cables, the supply voltage of 24 VDC must always be guaranteed. Note also that the transmission speed on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced. SIMATIC standard cables (e.g. 6GT2891-4FN10) have a loop resistance of 160 mOhm /

meter. This results in a voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the 24 V cable for every 10 meters of connecting cable and with a power requirement of 500 mA. If the power requirement increases through the use of the digital inputs/outputs, the voltage drop increases accordingly.

This means that you can set the antenna polarization to be either horizontal, vertical or circular. With the internal antenna active and at 2000 mW ERP radiated power, due to the aperture angle of the antennas, their fields can overlap considerably. This means it is no longer possible to be sure in which of the antenna fields the data of a transponder will be accessed. To avoid these cases, always observe the recommended minimum distances between two readers as described in the section "Reciprocal influence of read points (Page 47)". Dense Reader Mode (DRM) The readers can also interfere with each other (secondary fields), if the channels (Reader TX, Transponder TX) overlap. In order to prevent a transponder channel overlapping with a reader channel, we recommend that the Dense Reader Mode (DRM) is used. Note Protective cap If you only use the internal antenna of the reader, we recommend that you close the external, unused antenna connector on the reader using the supplied protective cap.

The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with regard to a transponder. The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi value and a second dBi value. Table 5- 43 Range of antenna depending on antenna gain Deviation from maximum antenna gain [dBr]

In the Azimuth diagram, the antenna gain falls by 3dB at approximately 39. This means that the dBr value is -3. The antenna range is only 50 % of the maximum range at 39 from the Z axis within the horizontal plane. 5.5.2.2 External antenna Preassembled standard cables in lengths of 1 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m and 40 m are available to connect the antenna. The read range is limited by the cable loss. The maximum range can be achieved with the cable 6GT2815-0BH10 (length 1 m) since this has the lowest cable loss. Examples of possible antenna reading point configurations A data source with an external antenna for a reading point. As an alternative, a data source with an internal antenna for a reading point.

The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with regard to a transponder. The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi value and a second dBi value. Deviation from maximum antenna gain [dBr]

The mounting system consists of four fixing holes for M4 screws at intervals of 100 mm. The antenna is suitable for mounting on metallic and non-metallic surfaces. Note Achieving optimum wave propagation To achieve optimum wave propagation, the antenna should not be surrounded by conducting objects. The area between antenna and transponder should also allow wave propagation without interference. Antenna holders The Siemens antenna holders allow for fine adjustment of the antenna field by setting the solid angle.

Preassembled standard cables in lengths of 1 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m and 40 m are available to connect the antenna. The range of the antenna is limited by the cable loss. The maximum range can be achieved with the cable 6GT2815-0BH10 (length 1 m), since this cable has the lowest cable loss. Note Use of Siemens antenna cable To ensure optimum functioning of the antenna, it is recommended that a Siemens antenna cable is used in accordance with the list of accessories. To protect the antenna connecting cable from strain, you can attach strain relief, e.g. in the form of a strain relief clamp.

The mounting system consists of four fixing holes for M4 screws at intervals of 100 mm. The antenna is suitable for mounting on metallic and non-metallic surfaces. Note Achieving optimum wave propagation To achieve optimum wave propagation, the antenna should not be surrounded by conducting objects. The area between antenna and transponder should also allow wave propagation without interference. Antenna holders The Siemens antenna holders allow for fine adjustment of the antenna field by setting the solid angle.

Preassembled standard cables in lengths of 1 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m and 40 m are available to connect the antenna. The range of the antenna is limited by the cable loss. The maximum range can be achieved with the cable 6GT2815-0BH10 (length 1 m), since this cable has the lowest cable loss. Note Use of Siemens antenna cables To ensure optimum functioning of the antenna, it is recommended that a Siemens antenna cable be used in accordance with the list of accessories. To protect the antenna from strain, you can attach strain relief, e.g. in the form of a strain relief clamp. The following graphic shows the optimum mounting point for attaching strain relief.

With a circular antenna the alignment of the antenna axis of symmetry changes between horizontal and vertical each time it transmits. For this reason the alignment of the transponder polarization axis (horizontal/vertical) is unimportant. Make sure, however, that the transponder is aligned with the antenna. Figure 6-41 Alignment of the transponder polarization axis with a circular antenna axis of symmetry SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 289 Antennas 6.6 SIMATIC RF650A 6.6.6.1 Antenna patterns in the ETSI frequency band Directional radiation pattern Directional radiation pattern ETSI The directional radiation pattern is shown for nominal alignment and a center frequency of 866.3 MHz.

Figure 6-42 Reference system The half-power beam width of the antenna is defined by the angle between the two -3 dB points. Which range (in %) corresponds to the dB values in the patterns can be obtained from this table (Page 294).

The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with regard to a transponder. The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi/dBic value and a second dBi/dBic value.

100 70 50 35 25 18 13 Example As can be seen in "Directional radiation patterns in the ETSI frequency band (Page 291)" the maximum antenna gain in the vertical plane is 3.45 dBi (6.45 dBic). In this plane, and with the polarization axis of the transponder parallel to the axis of symmetry of the antenna, the antenna gain drops to about 0.5 dBic at +50 or 310. This means that the dBr value is -6. The antenna range is only +50% of the maximum range at + 50 or 310 from the Z axis within the vertical plane (see values shown in blue in the directional radiation pattern:

With a circular antenna the alignment of the antenna axis of symmetry changes between horizontal and vertical each time it transmits. For this reason, with a circular antenna the alignment of the transponder polarization axis (horizontal/vertical) is unimportant. Make sure, however, that the transponder is aligned with the antenna. Figure 6-53 Alignment of the transponder polarization axis with a circular antenna axis of symmetry With a linear vertical or linear horizontal antenna, the alignment of the transponder polarization axis, must correspond to the alignment of the antenna axis of symmetry.

The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with regard to a transponder. The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi/dBic value and a second dBi/dBic value.

In this plane, and with the polarization axis of the transponder parallel to the axis of symmetry of the antenna, the antenna gain drops to about 0.5 dBic at +50 or 310. This means that the dBr value is -6. The antenna range is only +50% of the maximum range at + 50 or 310 from the Z axis within the vertical plane (see values shown in blue in the directional radiation pattern:

The principle of operation of a passive RFID transponder is as follows:

Diversion of some of the high-frequency energy emitted by the reader to supply power to the integrated chip Receiving commands from the reader Responses are transmitted to the reader antenna by modulating the reflected radio waves

(backscatter technique) Figure 7-1 Mode of operation of transponders The transmission ranges achieved vary depending on the size of the transponder and therefore its dipole antenna. In general the following rule applies: The smaller the transponder and therefore the antenna, the shorter the range.

Transponder classes are usually not mutually compatible. The following transponder classes/protocol types are supported by the RF600 system:

ISO 18000-62 ISO 18000-63 Transponders supported RF600 system supports passive transponders with the following minimum characteristics:

EPC ID (Electronic Product Code IDentifier) TID A function which permanently ensures that transponders no longer respond. After the lock programming can no longer be reprogrammed. 7.1.3 Electronic Product Code (EPC) The Electronic Product Code (EPC) supports the unique identification of objects (e.g. retail items, logistical items or transport containers). This makes extremely accurate identification possible. In practical use, the EPC is stored on a transponder and scanned by the reader. There are different EPC number schemes with different data lengths. Below is the structure of a GID-96-bit code (EPC Global Tag Data Standards V1.1 Rev. 1.27) :

The aim of the section is to help you achieve the maximum ranges listed here in a typical electromagnetic environment. One of the main focuses of the section is the effect of the mounting surface of the transponder on the read/write distance. As the requirements for achieving the maximum distances specified here, note the following points:

Operate the readers with the maximum possible and permitted transmit power. With external antennas, the antenna cable with 1 m cable length and 0.5 dB cable loss is used (6GT2815-0BH10). Optimum alignment of the transponder and antenna is ensured (see section

"Configurations of antenna and transponder (Page 337)"). The optimum mounting surface for the transponder has been selected (see section

"Effects of the materials of the mounting surfaces on the range (Page 341)") The maximum range specified in the section "Maximum read/write ranges of transponders (Page 341)" applies only to read processes. With write operations, the range is reduced as described in the section. Effects that reduce read/write ranges are avoided (see section "Antenna configurations

(Page 39)"). 7.1.5.1 Configurations of antenna and transponder Below, you will find several possible antenna-transponder configurations that are necessary to achieve the maximum range. The polarization of the antenna plays a decisive role. The antennas are distinguished according the following types:

Linear antennas:

RF615A, RF620A, RF642A Circular antennas:

RF640A, RF660A, RF650A Antennas that can be switched over (linear/circular):

RF680A SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 337 Transponder 7.1 Overview With the antenna types with linear polarization (RF620A and RF642A), the polarization axes of the antenna and of the transponder must be aligned parallel to each other to achieve a maximum range. NOTICE Reduction of the maximum read/write range when using linear antennas If the alignment of the polarization axes of linear antennas (RF620A or RF642A) and transponders is not parallel, this reduces the read/write range. The reduction in the range depends on the angular deviation between the polarization axes of the antenna and the polarization axis of the transponder. You will find further details in the section "Alignment of transponders to the antenna (Page 230)" or "Alignment of transponders to the antenna

(Page 270)". Note Adjustable RF680A antenna Note that the antenna RF680A can be switched over. This means that you can set the polarization axis of this antenna manually. Depending on the setting (circular or linear horizontal or linear vertical) the antenna has the properties of a circular or linear antenna. Possible transponder alignments depending on the antenna type Circular antennas To achieve the maximum read/write range with circular antennas, make sure that the planes of the polarization axes have the same alignment. Changing the transponder angle within the x-y plane has no effect on the range. Figure 7-3 Circular antenna RF640A, RF650A, RF660A or RF680A Transponder Possible transponder alignment with circular antennas 338 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 Transponder 7.1 Overview Linear antennas To achieve the maximum range with linear antennas, make sure that the polarization axes of the antenna and transponder are parallel to each other. Changing the transponder angle within the x-y plane leads to a reduction of the range. Figure 7-4 Linear antenna RF615A, RF620A, RF642A or RF680A Transponder Possible transponder alignment with linear antennas Note Optimum transponder position/alignment Depending on the electromagnetic properties of the environment, the optimum transponder position and alignment may differ from those shown above. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 339 Transponder 7.1 Overview Suboptimal transponder alignment for all antenna types If the angle is changed within the y-z plane, this causes a reduction in range for all antenna types. Figure 7-5 Antenna RF615A, RF620A, RF640A, RF642A, RF650A or RF680A Transponder Suboptimal transponder alignment 340 Note Exceptions The suboptimal transponder alignment does not apply to the transponders RF625T and RF630T. You will find additional information on this in the sections dealing with the transponders. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 Transponder 7.1 Overview 7.1.5.2 Effects of the materials of the mounting surfaces on the range Effects due to antenna mounting For the RF640A, RF642A, RF650A, RF660A and RF680A antennas, the antenna gain and therefore the maximum read/write range does not depend on the selected material of the mounting surface. In contrast to this, the antenna gain of the RF615A and RF620A antennas and therefore the maximum read/write range of transponders depends on the mounting surface of the antenna. To achieve the maximum range with an RF615A/RF620A antenna, the antenna needs to be mounted on a metallic surface of at least 150 x 150 mm. You will find more detailed information on antenna gain in the subsections of the section

"Antenna patterns (Page 230)". Effects due to transponder mounting The maximum read/write range of the transponders depends on the material of the mounting surface. The specified ranges apply when mounted on non-metallic surfaces, such as paper or card, with the RF625T, RF630T, RF640T and RF645T when mounted on metal. Mounting on plastic can reduce the maximum read/write range considerably depending on the type of plastic (up to 70%). When mounted on wood, the range is furhter reduced the more moisture the wood contains. Due to the attenuating properties of glass, direct mounting without a spacer can halve the range. If the RF625T, RF630T, RF640T, RF645T, RF680T or RF682T transponders are mounted on metal, this metallic surface acts as a reflection surface. This surface should therefore be adequately large. To achieve the listed maximum ranges, transponders must be mounted on a metallic mounting surface with a minimum diameter of 150 mm, for the RF630T and RF680T 300 mm. If the metallic mounting surface only has a diameter of 65 mm instead of the required 150 mm, the range is reduced by 65%. 7.1.5.3 Maximum read/write ranges of transponders Maximum read ranges The measurements were made under the following conditions:

The polarization axis runs as shown in the diagram below. The polarization axis of the transponder should always run parallel to the polarization axis of the antenna to achieve optimum distances and results. If the transponder is centrally mounted on a plane metal plate, which may either be almost square or circular, it can be aligned in any direction if the transmitting and receiving antennas operate with circular polarization (such as the RF650A). Figure 7-43 Optimum positioning of the transponder on a (square or circular) metal plate The metal plate must have a minimum diameter of 150 x 150 mm. Smaller surfaces can cause a reduction of the read/write distances.

Figure 9-1 LED displays of the RF61xR, RF650R and RF68xR readers Functions of the "PRE" LED (RF615R/RF650R) Display of RF activity Indicates whether the reader is sending via the antenna (constant green), whether transponders were detected by the reader (flashing yellow) and whether a transponder was sent to the user application (constant yellow). Indication of the quality of the antenna alignment (RSSI) When aligning the antenna using the WBM, the "PRE" LED indicates the RSSI value with which the transponder was detected:

Red: Low RSSI value Yellow: Medium RSSI value Green: High RSSI value Error displays With the RF615R reader, errors are displayed by means of a red flashing "PRE" LED. Functions of the LED status bar (RF680R/RF685R) With the LED operating display, you can read out the various operating statuses of the readers. The LED status display of the RF680R and RF685R readers has several functions. Among other things, the status display provides the following functions:

Startup of the reader The startup process of the reader is displayed by a status bar lit yellow. As soon as the startup is completed, the reader requires several seconds before it is operational. This phase is indicated by a status bar flashing yellow. During a firmware update, the startup takes longer. The reader is ready for operation when the "R/S" LED is lit/flashes green. If the "R/S"

LED is flashing, the reader is waiting for a connection. If the "R/S" LED is lit constantly, the reader is connected to the controller or PC. Error display If there is an error, the actual error is indicated by the lighting/flashing pattern. The "ER"

LED of the LED operating display also flashes. You will find more information on error messages in the section "XML/PLC error messages (Page 456)". 452 SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 System diagnostics 9.1 Diagnostics via the LED displays of the reader Display of RF activity Indicates whether the reader is sending via the antenna (constant green), whether transponders were detected by the reader (flashing yellow) and whether a transponder was sent to the user application (constant yellow). Indication of the quality of the antenna alignment (RSSI) When aligning the antenna, using the WBM, the status display indicates the RSSI value with which the transponder was detected. The more LEDs light up (first 3x red, then 3x yellow, then 3x green), the higher the RSSI value with which the transponder was detected. You can find more information on the antenna alignment in the configuration manual

"SIMATIC RF600". 9.1.1 How the LED status display works Note that the RF615R/RF650R readers do not have an LED status display. The LED status display displays the error messages of the RF680R/RF685R readers. LED status display (ST1 - ST9) LED operating display Figure 9-2 LED displays of the RF680R/RF685R readers Error messages are indicated by red flashing status LEDs and the red flashing "ER" LED. A distinction is made between hardware errors (faults) and normal errors. With hardware errors, the LEDs flash with a fast frequency of 4 Hz. With all other errors, the LEDs flash with a slow frequency of 2 Hz. The detailed LED error display described here is enabled as default. If required, you can disable this in the "Settings - General" menu item of the WBM. If the LED error display is enabled, a separate LED pattern is assigned to every error in the LED status display. The displayed LED patterns are based on the error code of the hexadecimal error message converted to binary. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 11/2018, J31069-D0171-U001-A21-7618 453 System diagnostics 9.1 Diagnostics via the LED displays of the reader Example The error "0x12" (XML error message) is displayed. Converted to binary, this results in the value "0001 0010". This converted value is displayed in the LED status display. The value

"0" means that the corresponding LED does not light up, whereas the value "1" means that the corresponding LED is lit red. The middle (5th LED) of the LED status display serves as a

"delimiter" and is always lit yellow.

Figure 10-2 Example of a configuration with an RF600 system with a power splitter The link between the reader and the power splitter (3.2 dB attenuation) is via a cable 1 m in length (0.5 dB cable attenuation). Cables with a length of 5 m (1.25 dB cable attenuation) are used between the power splitter and the antennas. To calculate the total attenuation made up of the cable attenuation and the attenuation of the power splitter, the various attenuation values need to be added. For the configuration shown above, the total attenuation is as follows:

0.5 dB + 3.2 dB + 1.25 dB = 4.95 dB The total attenuation of 4.95 dB must be stored in the configuration of the reader as user-

defined cable attenuation. When using several different antennas, the antenna gain of the antenna with the highest gain must be specified. This ensures that the maximum permitted transmit power is not exceeded. Note that when using different antenna cable lengths, the radiated power of the antenna with the longer cable is lower.

Power supply units with connection cables readers 22.3 Safety distance to transmitter antenna 2.3.1 Safety distance between transmitter antenna and personnel For antenna configurations where it is possible to be briefly or constantly within the transmission range of the antennas, as in loading ramps, for example, minimum distances must be maintained. Limits The ICRP (International Commission of Radiological Protection) has worked out limit values for human exposure to HF fields that are also recommended by the ICNIRP (International Commission of Non Ionizing Radiological Protection). In German legislation on emissions

(since 1997), the following limit values apply. These can vary according to frequency:

Frequency f [MHz]

Electrical field strength E [V/m]

Magnetic field strength H [A/m]

10 - 400 400 - 2.000 27,5 1.375 x f1/2 2.000 - 300.000 61 0,073 0.0037 x f1/2 0,16 The limit values for the 900 MHz reader antenna alternating field are thus:

Electrical field strength: E = 41.25 V/m Magnetic field strength: H = 0.111 A/m HF power density: E x H = 4.57 W/m2 20 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 2.3Safety distance to transmitter antenna Safety Information 22.3.2 Minimum distance to antenna in accordance with ETSI At a transmission frequency of 900 MHz, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave is approximately 0.34 m. For distances less than 1 in the near field, the electrical field strength (1/r) diminishes exponentially to the power three over distance, and for distances greater than 1 , it diminishes exponentially to the power two over distance. The horizontal line at 41.25 V/m marks the "safety limit value". For the maximum permitted transmit power (1/r2) in accordance with ETSI (2 W ERP), the

"safety distance" is d = 0.24 m. This means that personnel should not remain closer than 24 cm to the transmitter antenna for extended periods (for several hours without interruption). Remaining within the vicinity of the antenna for a brief period, even for repeated periods (at a distance < 0.24 m), is harmless according to current knowledge. Disstance to transmitter antenna [m]

The radiated power depends on the antenna cable and the antenna used, but must not exceed 2 W ERP. The SIMATIC RF650R (ETSI) reader has a maximum transmit power of 1 W. The radiated power therefore depends on the antenna cable and the antenna used, but must not exceed 2 W ERP. The SIMATIC RF680R (ETSI) reader has a maximum transmit power of 2 W. The radiated power therefore depends on the antenna cable and the antenna used, but must not exceed 2 W ERP. The SIMATIC RF685R (ETSI) reader has a maximum radiated power of 2 W ERP. The safety clearance is therefore at least 0.24 m. When using Siemens products and with suitable configuration via the WBM, the high limits cannot be exceeded. 22.3.3 Minimum distance to antenna in accordance with FCC For the maximum permitted radiated power in accordance with FCC (4 W EIRP), the "safety distance" is d = 0.26 m. This means that personnel should not remain closer than 26 cm to the transmitter antenna for extended periods (several hours without interruption). Remaining within the vicinity of the antenna for brief period, even repeated periods (at a distance < 0.26 m) is harmless to health according to current knowledge. 22 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 2.3Safety distance to transmitter antenna Safety Information The horizontal line at 41.25 V/m marks the "safety limit value".

NNote RReduced maxiimum radiated power with RF600 readers SIMATIC RF610R and RF615R (FCC) readers have a maximum transmit power of 400 mW. The radiated power depends on the antenna cable and the antenna used, but must not exceed 2 W ERP. The SIMATIC RF650R (FCC) reader has a maximum transmit power of 1 W. The radiated power therefore depends on the antenna cable and the antenna used, but must not exceed 4 W EIRP. The SIMATIC RF680R (FCC) reader has a maximum transmit power of 2 W. The radiated power therefore depends on the antenna cable and the antenna used, but must not exceed 4 W EIRP. The SIMATIC RF685R (CC) reader has a maximum transmit power of 2 W. This means that the safety distance is at least 0.12 m. When using Siemens products and with suitable configuration via the WBM, the high limits cannot be exceeded.

IT level This level contains the RFID readers that read the appropriate transponder data and transfer it to the next higher level. At the control level, the RFID data is collected, preprocessed and made available to the production control and business administration control levels for further processing. The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) closes the gap between the data that arises in the automation environment (control level) and the logistic and commercial processes SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 25 System overview of SIMATIC RF600 3.1Application areas of RF600 of the company (business administration control). MES solutions are used, for example, for defining and performing production processes. 33.1 Application areas of RF600 RFID (radio frequency identification) permits continuous identification, tracking and documentation of all delivered, stocked and shipped goods in the incoming goods, warehouse, production, production logistics and distribution departments. A small data medium - referred to as SmartLabel, transponder or tag - is attached to every item, package or pallet, and contains all important information. The data medium receives the power it requires via an antenna which is also used for data transmission. 26 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 System overview of SIMATIC RF600 3.2System components 33.2 System components Table 3- 1 System components of the RF600 product series Prroduct photo Description SIMATIC RF610R RF610R reader is suitable for applications in production logistics and distribution.

EMC Directives 4.2 Possible system configurations The SIMATIC RF600 system is characterized by a high level of standardization of its components. This means that the system follows the TIA principle throughout: Totally Integrated Automation. It provides maximum transparency at all levels with its reduced number of interfaces. This ensures optimum interaction between all system components. The RF600 system with its flexible components offers many possibilities for system configuration. This section shows you how you can use the RF600 components on the basis of various example scenarios. 4.2.1 Intralogistics scenario This scenario describes the transport of material via conveyor systems that are made up of large numbers of standard elements. They are characterized by long distances, frequent branches (separators, infeed and outfeed), standardized transport containers and high movement speeds. The installation space available for identification technology is limited, and the high number of read points demands a low-cost solution. Due to the high movement speeds of transport containers in some cases, the limited space available and the fact that the read points are sometimes located very close together, the use of the RF600 system with space-saving antennas and a low transmit power can be recommended. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 33 RF600 system planning 4.2Possible system configurations FFeatures of the scenario Intralogistics (material flow) Figure 4-1 Scenario: Intralogistics (material flow) The conveyor transports the transport containers past the antennas. The transponders attached to the transport containers are always evenly aligned. The transponders in this scenario are transponders of the type SIMATIC RF630L. The conveyor belt has a maximum width of approximately 80 cm in this example. The maximum transport speed is 2 m/s. With this arrangement, only a single transponder needs to be detected each time (single-tag). In this scenario, SIMATIC RF680R and RF685R are used as readers. Due to the limited space available and the low reading distances, the SIMATIC RF615A antennas are used in this example. As an alternative - with greater available space and to guarantee optimum read reliability - the SIMATIC RF650A antennas can also be used. Because the readers are connected in a bus topology, wiring requirements are reduced. The reader reads the information from the transponders on the transport containers and forwards it to the SIMATIC S7 controller. 34 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 RF600 system planning 4.2Possible system configurations IIntralogistics (separator)

Individual read point In this example scenario, items must be distributed to the correct storage location in a transport container via a separator. The transponders attached to the transport containers are always evenly aligned. The transponders in this scenario are transponders of the type SIMATIC RF630L. The conveyor belt has a maximum width of approximately 80 cm in this example. The maximum transport speed of the conveyor belt is 2 m/s. In this scenario, a SIMATIC RF615R with a SIMATIC RF650A and a SIMATIC RF610R external antenna are used as the readers. These readers are inexpensive and feature a very compact design. When a transport container passes the light barrier , the reader reads the information from the transponder on the transport containers and forwards it to the SIMATIC S7 controller. The SIMATIC S7 controls the separator of the conveyor system depending on the transponder information. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 35 RF600 system planning 4.2Possible system configurations 44.2.2 Scenario for workpiece identification A typical characteristic of modern manufacturing scenarios is their multitude of variations. The individual data and production steps are stored in the transponder of a tool holder or product. These data are read by the machining stations during a production process and, if necessary, tagged with status information. This can be used to dynamically identify which production step is the next in the series. This has the advantage that the production line can work automatically without the need to access higher system components. The use of RFID therefore increases the availability of the plant. Figure 4-3 Scenario: Workpiece identification Features of the scenario Transponders are attached to workpiece holders. Their spatial orientation is always identical. With this arrangement, only a single transponder needs to be detected each time (single-

tag). The SIMATIC RF685R reader reads the information from the transponders with its integrated antenna or the external antenna RF680A and transfers it to the SIMATIC S7 controller. Depending on the stored transponder information, the SIMATIC S7 controller different control tasks, for example, automatically providing a suitable tool for an industrial robot at the correct time. In a metallic wireless environment or when lots of readers/antennas are mounted close together we recommend that you do not have the readers reading permanently. Instead execute specific read/write commands when an object/transponder is located in front of an antenna or passes it. This "triggering" can be implemented with light barriers or beros. This procedure reduces mutual influence/disruption of the read points and increases the 36 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 RF600 system planning 4.2Possible system configurations identification quality of the wanted transponders while reducing the identification of unwanted transponders. 44.2.3 Goods tracking scenario In this scenario, a gate consisting of a SIMATIC RF650R reader and four antennas checks the goods passing through the gate. All stored goods are equipped with transponders. A traffic light indicates whether the goods may leave the warehouse. Figure 4-4 Scenario: Goods tracking Features of the scenario In this example scenario, the export of goods from a warehouse is checked using the SIMATIC RF650R reader and four SIMATIC RF650A antennas connected to it. A sensor registers when a vehicle passes the gate and reports this to the higher-level system, which then triggers a read operation via the reader. The reader reads the information from the transponders on the goods and forwards it to the user application, which checks the status of the goods. The traffic light is set to green or red depending on whether the goods are released. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 37 RF600 system planning 4.2Possible system configurations 44.2.4 Scenario incoming goods, distribution of goods and outgoing goods The scenario consists of an RFID system with three readers. The SIMATIC RF650R reader with its four antennas identifies the incoming/outgoing products at the incoming/outgoing goods gates of a factory building hall through which pallets are delivered. Each pallet is fitted with a transponder. The transponders contain user data that provides information about the sender and receiver of the goods. This data is read out and passed on. The goods supplied on the pallets are processed in the factory and then exit the factory through the outgoing goods gate. Figure 4-5 Scenario: Incoming goods, distribution of goods and outgoing goods 38 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 RF600 system planning 4.3Antenna configurations FFeatures of the scenario In this example scenario, the SIMATIC RF685R reader is controlled by a light barrier and monitors a conveyor belt; the conveyor belt transports the goods towards two output gates that are assigned to different recipients. Each item has a transponder that is always fitted at the same position and with the same alignment on the item. These transponders also contain user data that provides information about the sender and receiver of the goods. There is a separator at the end of the conveyor belt that determines the output gate to which the goods should be directed. The separator is set according to the results from the reader and the goods are distributed. After the sorter, the goods are loaded onto pallets - each pallet is fitted with a transponder. These transponders also contain user data that provides information about the sender and receiver of the goods. Based on the data read by the SIMATIC RF650R reader, there is a check to make sure that the correct pallets for the specific receiver are available at the outgoing goods gate. Light barriers are installed to control the reader. Depending on the read results of the reader, the outgoing portal opens, or it remains closed. 4.3 Antenna configurations Note VValidity of antenna configuration The following information about the antenna configuration only applies to the antennas of the RF600 family.

With the various configurations, please note that up to four external antennas can be connected to the RF650R and RF680R readers, while one external antenna can be connected to the RF615 and RF685R readers. The RF615R and RF685R readers also have an internal antenna. The RF610R reader only has an internal antenna. Antenna configuration 1 Description/ application areas This arrangement of antennas is appro-

priate when the transponders to be read are only located on one side of the goods to be acquired, for example, if a conveyor belt with passing goods has to be monitored during production and it is precisely defined on which side the tran-

sponders to be read are attached.

Transponder AAntenna configuration 5 DDescription/ application areas Preferred for the identification of goods at loading gates: The transponder is located in the radiation field of all four antennas, so the transponder position for reliable tag identification is more flexible than in configuration 2.

Transponder DDescription/ aapplication areas This tunnel configuration is suitable for conveyor belt applications. The goods with the transponders to be read are moving forwards on a conveyor belt but the alignment of the transponders rela-

tive to the antennas is not clearly de-

fined. One of the antenna is located on the floor and radiates vertically upwards in the direction of the conveyor belt. A relatively high reading reliability is achieved due to the use of four anten-

nas.

For maximum performance and to achieve the maximum read range, the transponder antenna should therefore be aligned parallel to the reader antenna:

Parallel transponder alignment Large reading range The probability of identification of the tran-

sponders is at a maximum. Vertical transponder alignment Minimal reading range The probability of identification of the tran-

sponders is at a minimum.

Table 4- 3 Factors on the read/write range Factors Description Transmit power of the reader Transponder size and design Absorption factor of the materials Manufacturing quality of the tran-

sponders The higher the transmit power of the reader, the larger the reading range. The larger the transponder antenna, the larger the power input area and therefore the larger the reading range. The higher the absorption of the surrounding material, the smaller the reading range. The better the transponder has been matched to the oper-

ating frequencies during manufacturing, the greater the reading range. 48 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 RF600 system planning 4.3Antenna configurations FFactors DDescription Reflection characteristics of the envi-

ronment In a multiple-reflection environment (e.g., in rooms with reflecting surfaces, machinery, or concrete walls), the read-

ing range can be significantly higher than in a low-reflection environment. Number of transponders in the antenna field The typical ranges always relate to a transponder installed at the maximum possible distance from the antenna. If there are several transponders located in the antenna field, the distances to all other transponders must not ex-

ceed the maximum possible distance to be able to be de-

tected from the antenna field. The width and height of the antenna field within which its transponders can be arranged at a certain distance from the antenna depend on the following:

Avoiding problems When several RFID readers are used, there is a danger that RFID transponders can also be read out by other readers. Care must therefore be taken to ensure that the transponder can only be identified by the intended reader. Technical disruptions between readers then occur particularly when they transmit on the same channel (on the same frequency). You will find more detailed information in the section

"The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band (Page 66)". 4.3.8.2 Optimization of robustness of tag data accesses for readers that are operated simultaneously Parameter data access reliability If several readers are to be operated simultaneously in an environment, then the following settings affect the reliability of the reader's access to transponder data:

Distances and orientation of antennas of different readers to each other

Radiated power of antennas The robustness of transponder data access is improved for readers whenever distances to adjacent readers are increased, radiated power is reduced, and a channel plan (for ETSI readers) is implemented. Adjacent readers are parameterized in the channel plan in such a way that they do not use the same channels. A channel plan can be created for ETSI and CMIT readers; for FCC readers, it is assumed that the probability of two readers accidentally using the same channel is very low. 50 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 RF600 system planning 4.3Antenna configurations 44.3.8.3 Frequency hopping This technique is intended to prevent mutual interference between readers.

With 50 available channels the probability is low that two readers will be operating on the same frequency. In China, one reader operates on at least 2 channels, e.g. sixteen 2 watt channels. You will find more information on frequency ranges in the section "Regulations applicable to frequency bands (Page 97)". Frequency hopping is optional in the ETSI wireless profile. According to ETSI EN 203 208 V1.4.1, frequency hopping is required in multi-channel operation; without it, only single-channel operation is possible. In this mode, the reader pauses for 100 ms after each 4 s transmission period to comply with the standard. 4.3.9 Guidelines for selecting RFID UHF antennas 4.3.9.1 Note safety information WARNING Before planning how to use third-party components, as the operator of a system that comprises both RF600 components and third-party components, you must comply with the safety information in Section Safety instructions for third-party antennas as well as for modifications to the RF600 system (Page 19). 4.3.9.2 Preconditions for selecting RFID UHF antennas Target group This section is aimed at configuration engineers who thoroughly understand and wish to carry out the selection and installation of an antenna or a cable for the SIMATIC RF600 system. The various antenna and cable parameters are explained, and information is provided on the criteria you must particularly observe. Otherwise this chapter is equally suitable for theoretical and practice-oriented users. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 51 RF600 system planning 4.3Antenna configurations PPurpose of this chapter This section will help you to select the suitable antenna or the suitable cable taking into account all important criteria and to make the relevant settings in the configuration software/WBM of the SIMATIC RF600 system. Correct and safe integration into the SIMATIC RF600 system is only possible following adaptation of all required parameters. 4.3.9.3 General application planning Overview of the total SIMATIC RF600 system and its influencing factors In the following graphic you can see the design of a SIMATIC RF600 reader with connected antenna and the influencing factors. The influencing factors affect the radiated power output. Radiated power = transmit power influencing factors You must be aware of these influencing factors and also consider them if you wish to integrate components such as antennas or cables into the system. These influencing factors are described in more detail in sections "Antennas (Page 231)" and "Antenna cables

(Page 53)". Figure 4-9 Overview diagram: Influencing factors When operating the SIMATIC RF600 system, you need to observe additional influencing factors such as minimum spacing between antennas in the room. 52 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 RF600 system planning 4.3Antenna configurations EEnvironmental conditions NOTICE Damage to the device In line with the application, you must take into consideration the mechanical loads (shock and vibration) as well as environmental demands such as temperature, moisture, UV radiation. The device could be damaged if these factors are not considered. Specifying the transmit / radiated power Depending on whether you want to use a third-party antenna and/or antenna cable with a reader, you need to select the suitable components. When selecting third-party components orient yourself on the values of comparable Siemens products. With the readers, the parameters for the transmit/radiated power, antenna gain and cable loss (user-defined) are set using the WBM. In the WBM, you can select the Siemens products being used from a drop-down list quickly and easily, and the values and their effect on the transmit/radiated power are calculated directly. With third-party products, you can enter the relevant values manually. Based on the entered products/values, the WBM calculates the permitted radiated power and makes sure that this is not exceeded. 4.3.9.4 Types of antenna In principle, all types of directional antennas can be considered as antennas for integration into the SIMATIC RF600 system. Directional antennas have a preferred direction in which more energy is radiated than in other directions. RF600 antennas on the other hand, are optimized for operation with RF600 readers and have all the required approvals. 4.3.9.5 Antenna cables Selection criteria Characteristic impedance You must observe the criteria listed below when selecting the appropriate antenna cable. Note the following points when selecting the antenna cable:

You can only use coaxial antenna cables when connecting an antenna.

These antenna cables must have a nominal characteristic impedance of Z = 50 Ohm. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 53 RF600 system planning 4.3Antenna configurations AAntenna cable loss In order to be able to transmit the available UHF power from the RF600 reader to the antenna or antennas, the antenna cable loss should not exceed a value of approx. 5 dB. Dependency of the cable loss The cable loss depends on two important factors:

External characteristics of cable. These includes the cable length, diameter and design.

As a result of the physical principle, the cable loss is also frequency-dependent. In other words, the cable loss increases the higher the transmitter frequency is. Therefore the cable loss must be specified in the frequency band from 860 to 960 MHz. Cable vendors usually provide tables or calculation aids for their types of cable which usually include the transmitter and receiver frequencies as well as the cable length. Therefore contact your cable vendor in order to determine the appropriate type of cable using the approximate value referred to above. Notes on use Shielding of the antenna cable Coaxial antenna cables generally have a shielded design and therefore radiate little of the transmitted power to the environment. Bending radius of the antenna cable The properties of the cable shield are influenced by mechanical loading or bending. You must therefore observe the static and dynamic bending radii specified by the cable vendor. Connectors and adapters You must use connectors and adapters of the type "Reverse Polarity R-TNC" (male connector) for your antenna cables to ensure correct connection to the RF600 reader interface. Figure 4-10 Thread standardization You can find more information in the catalog data of your cable vendor. 54 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 44.4 Minimum distances and maximum ranges 4.4Minimum distances and maximum ranges RF600 system planning The following section describes the configuration of the antenna and transponder relative to each other. The aim of the section is to help you achieve the maximum ranges listed here in a typical electromagnetic environment. One of the main focuses of the section is the effect of the mounting surface of the transponder on the read/write distance. As the requirements for achieving the maximum distances specified here, note the following points:

Operate the readers with the maximum possible and permitted transmit power.

With external antennas, the antenna cable with 1 m cable length and 0.5 dB cable loss is used (6GT2815-0BH10).

Optimum alignment of the transponder and antenna is ensured (see section

"Configurations of antenna and transponder (Page 55)").

The optimum mounting surface for the transponder has been selected (see section

"Effects of the materials of the mounting surfaces on the range (Page 58)")

The maximum range specified in the section "Maximum read/write ranges of transponders (Page 59)" applies only to read processes. With write operations, the range is reduced as described in the section.

Effects that reduce read/write ranges are avoided (see section "Antenna configurations

(Page 39)"). 4.4.1 Configurations of antenna and transponder Below, you will find several possible antenna-transponder configurations that are necessary to achieve the maximum range. The polarization of the antenna plays a decisive role. The antennas are distinguished according the following types:

Linear antennas:

RF615A, RF620A, RF642A

Circular antennas:

RF640A, RF660A, RF650A

Antennas that can be switched over (linear/circular):

RF680A SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 55 RF600 system planning 4.4Minimum distances and maximum ranges With the antenna types with linear polarization (RF620A and RF642A), the polarization axes of the antenna and of the transponder must be aligned parallel to each other to achieve a maximum range. NNOTICE RReduction of the maximum read/write range when using linear antennas If the alignment of the polarization axes of linear antennas (RF620A or RF642A) and transponders is not parallel, this reduces the read/write range. The reduction in the range depends on the angular deviation between the polarization axes of the antenna and the polarization axis of the transponder. You will find further details in the section "Alignment of transponders to the antenna (Page 257)" or "Alignment of transponders to the antenna

(Page 297)". NNote AAdjustable RF680A antenna Note that the antenna RF680A can be switched over. This means that you can set the polarization axis of this antenna manually. Depending on the setting (circular or linear horizontal or linear vertical) the antenna has the properties of a circular or linear antenna. PPossible transponder alignments depending on the antenna type Circular antennas To achieve the maximum read/write range with circular antennas, make sure that the planes of the polarization axes have the same alignment. Changing the transponder angle within the x-y plane has no effect on the range.

Changing the transponder angle within the x-y plane leads to a reduction of the range.

Transponder Figure 4-13 Suboptimal transponder alignment Note EExceptions The suboptimal transponder alignment does not apply to the transponders RF625T and RF630T. You will find additional information on this in the sections dealing with the transponders. 4.4.2 Effects of the materials of the mounting surfaces on the range Effects due to antenna mounting For the RF640A, RF642A, RF650A, RF660A and RF680A antennas, the antenna gain and therefore the maximum read/write range does not depend on the selected material of the mounting surface. In contrast to this, the antenna gain of the RF615A and RF620A antennas and therefore the maximum read/write range of transponders depends on the mounting surface of the antenna. To achieve the maximum range with an RF615A/RF620A antenna, the antenna needs to be mounted on a metallic surface of at least 150 x 150 mm. You will find more detailed information on antenna gain in the subsections of the section

"Antenna patterns (Page 257)". 58 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 4.4Minimum distances and maximum ranges RF600 system planning EEffects due to transponder mounting The maximum read/write range of the transponders depends on the material of the mounting surface. The specified ranges apply when mounted on non-metallic surfaces, such as paper or card, with the RF640L, RF642L, RF625T, RF630T, RF640T and RF645T when mounted on metal. Mounting on plastic can reduce the maximum read/write range considerably depending on the type of plastic (up to 70%). When mounted on wood, the range is furhter reduced the more moisture the wood contains. Due to the attenuating properties of glass, direct mounting without a spacer can halve the range. If the RF625T, RF630T, RF640T, RF645T, RF680T or RF682T transponders are mounted on metal, this metallic surface acts as a reflection surface. This surface should therefore be adequately large. To achieve the listed maximum ranges, transponders must be mounted on a metallic mounting surface with a minimum diameter of 150 mm, for the RF630T and RF680T 300 mm. If the metallic mounting surface only has a diameter of 65 mm instead of the required 150 mm, the range is reduced by 65%. 4.4.3 Maximum read/write ranges of transponders Maximum read ranges The measurements were made under the following conditions:

Test the environmental conditions before using the transponder. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 65 RF600 system planning 4.5Environmental conditions for transponders 44.5 Environmental conditions for transponders Basic rules The transponder must not be placed directly on metal surfaces or on containers of liquid. The on-metal transponders designed specifically for use in metallic environments are an exception to this. For physical reasons, a minimum distance must be maintained between the transponder antenna and conductive material. A minimum distance of 5 cm is recommended. The transponder operates better when the distance is greater (between 5 and 20 cm).

Transponder assembly on non-conductive material (plastic, wood) has a tendency to be less critical than assembly on poorly conductive material.

The best results are achieved on the materials specified by the transponder manufacturer. transponder manufacturer.

For more information, refer to the section "Transponder (Page 359)" or ask the relevant 4.6 The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band 4.6.1 The effect of reflections and interference Reflections and interference Electromagnetic waves in the UHF band behave and propagate in a similar manner to light waves, that is they are reflected from large objects such as ceilings, floors, walls and windows and interfere with each other. Due to the nature of electromagnetic waves, interference can lead to wave amplification which can produce an increased reading range. In the worst case scenario, interference can also result in waves being extinguished which causes gaps in reader coverage. In some circumstances, reflections can also be beneficial when they cause electromagnetic waves to be routed around objects, in a sense (deflection). This can increase the reading probability. Due to these electromagnetic characteristics, it is extremely difficult in the multiple-reflection environment that is usually found in real environments on site to determine propagation paths and field strengths for a particular location. 66 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 4.6The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band RF600 system planning RReducing the effect of reflections/interference on transponder identification

Reducing the transmit power:

To minimize interference, we recommend that the transmit power of the reader is reduced until it is sufficient for an identification rate of 100%.

Increasing the number of antennas:

More antennas (3 or 4) in a suitable antenna configuration can prevent gaps in reader coverage. 4.6.2 Influence of metals Metal can have an effect on the electromagnetic field depending on the arrangement or environment. The effect ranges from a hardly determinable influence through to total blocking of communication. The term metal in this context also includes metallized materials that are either coated with metal or shot through with metal to such an extent that UHF radiation cannot penetrate or only to a minimal extent. The effect of metal on the electromagnetic field can be prevented as follows:

Do not mount transponders on metal. The on-metal transponders designed specifically for use in metallic environments are an exception to this.

Do not place metallic or conducting objects in the propagation field of the antenna and transponder. Influence of metal on transponders Normally transponders must not be mounted directly on metallic surfaces. The transponders designed specifically for use in metallic environments are an exception to this (e.g.: RF690L, RF620T, RF625T, RF630T, RF640T, RF680T). Due to the nature of the electromagnetic field, a minimum distance must be maintained between the transponder antenna and conductive materials. For more detailed information on the special case of attaching transponders to electrically conducting materials, refer to the relevant transponder sections. In the case of transponders that are not designed for mounting on metallic materials, the minimum permissible distance from metal is 5 cm. The larger the distance between the transponder and the metallic surface, the better the function of the transponder. Influence of metal on antennas Note that metal surfaces located directly in the antenna field reflect the transmitted power directly to the antenna. Due to the nature of the electromagnetic field, a minimum distance must be maintained between the antenna and conductive materials. You can find more detailed information on this in section "Specified minimum and maximum spacing of antennas (Page 46)". If the reflected energy becomes too strong in the receive path of the reader, this activates a protective circuit that shows itself as an antenna error without there actually being an error in the configuration or a defect on the antenna. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 67 RF600 system planning 4.6The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band This effect depends very much on the transmitted power, the components being used (cable, antenna) and the distance from the metallic surface to the antenna. In this case, repositioning/realigning the antenna or reducing the radiated power can remedy the situation. 44.6.3 Influence of liquids and non-metallic substances Non-metallic substances can also affect the propagation of electromagnetic waves and thus the transponder range. When non-metallic substances or objects that can absorb UHF radiation are located in the propagation field, these can alter the antenna field depending on their size and distance and can even extinguish the field entirely. The RF damping effect of water, materials containing water, ice and carbon is high. Electromagnetic energy is partly reflected and absorbed. Oil- or petroleum-based liquids have low RF damping. Electromagnetic waves penetrate these liquids and are only slightly weakened. 4.6.4 Influence of external components The RED guideline and the relevant standards govern the electromagnetic compatibility requirements. This also concerns the third-party components of the RF600 system. Even though requirements for electromagnetic compatibility are defined, various components will still interfere with each other. The performance of the RF600 system is highly dependent on the electromagnetic environment of the antennas. Reflections and interference On the one hand, antenna fields will be weakened by absorbing materials and reflected by conducting materials. When electromagnetic fields are reflected, the antenna field and reflecting fields overlap (interference). Third-party components in the same frequency band On the other hand, third-party components may transmit on the same frequency band as the reader, or the third-party components may transmit in different frequency bands with side bands that overlap with the frequency band of the reader. This results in a reduction of the

"signal-to-noise" ratio which reduces the performance of an RF600 system. If a DECT station that is transmitting in the 2 GHz band, for example, is located in the receiving range of an antenna of the RF600 system, the performance of the write and read access to the transponder may be reduced. 68 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 4.7Planning and installation of UHF read points RF600 system planning 44.7 Planning and installation of UHF read points Due to their comparatively large effective range, RFID UHF systems (frequency band 865 -

928 MHz) have different requirements in terms of planning, commissioning and operation compared with the HF systems commonly used up to now in automation (frequency band 13.56 MHz). This section describes important rules for preparation and implementation of the RFID UHF systems. 4.7.1 Technical basics General In contrast to inductively coupled HF systems, in UHF technology, there is full propagation of the radio waves just as in other wireless systems (radio, TV etc). There are both magnetic and electrical field components present. The following graphic shows the structure of a UHF system. One characteristic is the design of the transponder that differs greatly from the structure used in HF systems, e.g. the use of a dipole or helix antenna. Figure 4-14 Structure of a UHF RFID system RSSI value The signal strength of the transponder response is known as the RSSI value (Received Signal Strength Indicator). The RSSI value is a one byte value (0 to 255), the higher the value the better the signal strength (according to the IEEE 802.11 standard). The actual RSSI value depends on numerous parameters:

transponder type used,

chip used in the transponder,

connected antenna,

transmit power, SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 69 RF600 system planning 4.7Planning and installation of UHF read points PPropagation of the antenna field

distance between antenna and transponder,

reflections,

noise level in the channel used and in neighboring channels The RSSI value is important for the automatic evaluation of the read point and for filtering. A simple comparison of the RSSI values of two transponders is nevertheless not possible because the values are influenced by the transponder tolerances and the non-homogeneous antenna field. This means that it is possible that a transponder positioned closer to the RFID antenna has a lower RSSI value than a transponder much further away. The waves do not propagate as a homogeneous field, there is superposition of the waves that can cause the following effects:

Overshoots and field gaps due to obliteration of two waves These are caused by reflection and the resulting propagation on different paths

(comparable with fading effects on the car radio, e.g. noise when the vehicle is standing)

Generation of overshoots due to reflecting objects and surfaces This can be illustrated by comparing it with a "hall of mirrors". The signal transmitted by the reader is reflected (several times) by metallic objects such as housings, steel supports or grilles and this can lead to unwanted effects and read errors. Is also possible that a transponder is not identified although it is located in the assumed direct identification range of the reader. It can also happen that a transponder moving outside the antenna field is read out due to overshoots.

Identification situation with two transponders in an ideal radio/antenna field

Identification situation with two transponders in a real radio/antenna field with reflections that can lead to obliteration and overshoots Figure 4-15 Propagation of UHF RFID antenna fields 70 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 4.7Planning and installation of UHF read points RF600 system planning PProperties of the transmitting antenna Depending on their design, UHF RFID antennas provide different properties. They differ in the polarization and antenna gain. The direction of the electrical field component of an electromagnetic wave and the alignment of the antenna decide the polarization of the radiation. A distinction is made between linear and circular polarization of an antenna. With linear polarization you achieve the maximum write/read distances when the polarization axes of the antenna and transponder are parallel to each other. As the deviation increases, the received power deteriorates.

Polarization axes parallel: approx. 100 % range

Polarization axis turned through 45: approx. 50% range

Polarization axis turned through 90: approx. 10% range Figure 4-16 Effect of the polarization axes on the write/read distance with linear antennas Linear antennas can only be used if the alignment of the transponder is defined. On the other hand, one advantage of linear antennas is that they react less sensitively to reflections. This restriction does not apply with circular polarization. Circular antennas can also be used with differing alignments of the transponder and achieve constant results (e.g. RF680A or RF685R). It has been shown that with a defined transponder alignment, the linear antenna normally produces the best results. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 71 RF600 system planning 4.7Planning and installation of UHF read points 44.7.2 Implementation of UHF RFID installations The use of UHF RFID systems requires careful planning and preparation to avoid problems during commissioning and operation. 4.7.2.1 Preparation phase Device selection When selecting the suitable RFID hardware, remember the following minimum criteria:

Integration in a control/IT environment

Degree of protection

Size of the identification range

Type, number and position of the transponders in the antenna field

Reflecting and absorbent materials in the vicinity of the antenna

Distance between the antenna or the reader and the transponder The following application examples illustrate the requirements for specific use cases and provide suitable solutions:

Read point in a conveyor system in confined installation conditions:

A container should be transported in a conveyor system. Information on the next transport section is contained in a transponder which is attached to the side of the container. Possible configuration: RF610R or possibly RF615R with integrated internal antenna and a compact, external antenna (e.g. RF615A, RF620A)

RFID gate at the incoming goods / outgoing goods department:

Several transponders are located on different packaging of products on a pallet. These need to be identified when passing through the RFID gate. Possible configuration: RF650R with four circular antennas (e.g. RF650A, RF660A depending on the required radiated power)

Four read points along the production line:

A product needs to be processed by different machines along the production line. The information for this is contained on a transponder attached to the product that must be read out at each machine. Possible configuration: RF680R with four antennas (e.g. RF615A, RF620A, RF680A)

Read point on a production line with a predominantly metallic environment:

A product needs to be processed by different machines along the production line. The information for this is contained on a transponder attached to the product that must be read out at each machine. Possible configuration: RF685R with integrated adaptive antenna 72 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 4.7Planning and installation of UHF read points RF600 system planning DDynamic identification Triggering Dead spots cannot be excluded. To be able to compensate for dead spots, we recommend that you give preference to dynamic identification rather than static identification. Dynamic identification means that the transponders are read while they are moving (e.g. on the conveyor belt). If static identification is necessary, the antenna field can e virtually dynamized with the RF685R antenna or RF680A. To read out all right transponder data, you can have the readers perform permanent write/read actions or have specific write/read actions triggered. For the following reasons, we recommend that you trigger specific write/read actions:

The RFID system only performs write/read actions when an object to be identified enters the antenna field. This reduces the number of process errors and they can be identified more quickly.

Due to the fact that the various RFID systems only perform write/read actions when necessary, this reduces the possibility of antenna fields disrupting each other. This increases process reliability in plants, particularly when there is a high reader density. Decoupling third-party RFID systems If you are using different RFID systems, make sure that no two systems are active at the same time or operate separately from each other. Ideally there should be no mixed usage. Training 4.7.2.2 Test phase Make sure that the engineers commissioning the UHF RFID systems are adequately trained. Metals and absorbent materials have a major influence on the functioning of UHF RFID systems. Since every environment has different conditions, we recommend that you run a test with all the objects to be identified for each read point. Include neighboring readers in these tests as well as scenarios for overshoots. Run through the tests an adequate number of times to make sure that any sporadically occurring influences on the antenna fields are also tested. The final position of the transponder should only be decided after an adequately intensive test phase so that suitable variations can be tried out if errors occur. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 73 RF600 system planning 4.7Planning and installation of UHF read points 44.7.2.3 Setting up read points Adjust antennas The read point setup described in this section is performed using the Web Based Management (WBM) and applies to the RF600 readers. You can find a detailed description of the WBM in the configuration manual "SIMATIC RF600

(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/ps/15081/man)". Follow the steps below to optimize the antenna alignment:

1. Position the object fitted with a transponder and to be identified at the required read point. 2. Align the reader or the antenna so that its front points in the direction of the object

(transponder) to be identified. Keep to the minimum distances between antennas and transponders to avoid antenna errors. When using linear antennas, make sure the polarization direction is correct. 3. In the "Settings - Adjust antenna" menu item, select the connected antenna and click the

"Start adjustment" button. Figure 4-17 Optimizing the antenna alignment with the "Settings - Adjust antenna" menu item of the WBM 74 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 4.7Planning and installation of UHF read points RF600 system planning 4. In the "RSSI display" area, you can see the current (light blue) and maximum reached

(dark blue) RSSI values. NNote TTranssponder is not identified If no transponder is identified, first increase the radiated power as described in the following section. Then repeat the antenna adjustment. Also check the polarization of your antenna. If the transponder always has the same alignment, the antenna polarization should be adapted accordingly. If the transponder moves or the alignment of the transponder varies, it is advisable to combine several antenna polarization types or to select a circular polarization. 5. Optimize the antenna adjustment until the maximum possible RSSI value is reached. Note that the RSSI value depends on the following components:

Select the radiated power so that the required transponders can be identified reliably but without overreach. In this case, the following applies: "as much as necessary, as little as possible". In the "Settings - Activation power" menu item, you can find the optimum radiated power for reliable transponder access. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 75 RF600 system planning 4.7Planning and installation of UHF read points DDetect activation power Follow the steps below to detect the activation power:

1. 2. In the "Settings - Activation power" menu item, select the connected antenna and click the "Start measurement" button. In the "Min. power" column of the transponder list, you can see the required activation power. The value "Min. power" of the transponder last selected in the transponder list is automatically transferred to the "Accept power" box with 2 dB added. Note OOptimizing the radiated power The value entered automatically in the "Accept power" box corresponds to the minimum value with which the transponder was identified by the antenna (Min. power) plus a power reserve of 2 dB. This value serves as a guideline and you can adapt it. To be sure that the antenna reliably detects the transponders regularly, we recommend that you accept the automatically adapted default value.

Click the "Apply" button to transfer the value entered in the "Radiated power" input box of the "Settings - Read points" menu item. 4.

These effects can lead to disruptions when identifying RFID transponders that can be distinguished as follows:

Overshoots due to increasing field strength: Transponders are detected that are actually beyond the read distance. Approaches to solutions:

Reduction of the radiated power Determining the input attenuation Use of UHF algorithms Changing the antenna position Shielding measures Varying the antenna polarization Use antennas with a lower gain Approaches to solutions:

Reduction of the radiated power Use of UHF algorithms Changing the antenna position Shielding measures Use antennas with a lower gain read distance. Approaches to solutions:

Varying the antenna polarization Using additional antennas Use of UHF algorithms Changing the antenna position Shielding measures Use antennas with a lower gain Use antennas with adjustable polarization

Lack of separation of transponders: Transponders positioned close together are detected together although the application logic requires individual detection (for example to determine the positioning order). All transponders are within the read distance.

Field obliteration: Due to the superposition of waves, obliteration effects occur within the SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 77 RF600 system planning 4.7Planning and installation of UHF read points

Reader reader influence: Several readers influence or disturb each other during transponder identification. Approaches to solutions:

"Interconnect" neighboring readers so that they do not send at the same time Enable intermissions ("Settings - General" menu item) Channel management

Reader transponder influence: A reader communicates with a transponder that is also in the identification area of another reader. Solution approaches:

"Interconnect" neighboring readers so that they do not send at the same time

Other sources of disturbances that can lead to restriction of transponder identification. Other sources of disturbances can occur if there are devices with similar frequency bands

(for example 900 MHz) in the vicinity of the reader. The diagnostics corresponds to the influence of one reader on another. Mobile phones can also disturb identification. This is the case if a reader of the type FCC or CMIIT is operated in Europe. Solution approaches:

The disturbances can be eliminated by temporarily turning off the suspected source of interference or its shielding. Interference can also occur with devices in other frequency bands if these are located in the immediate vicinity of the RFID antenna

(e.g. DECT telephone directly in front of the RFID antenna). Common industrial interference mechanisms, such as the harmonics of frequency converters or static discharge (ESD) can also cause disturbances. NNote OOccurrence of disturbances Remember that these disturbances can also occur sporadically or in certain combinations. 44.7.3.2 Measures for eliminating field disturbances Using shields To avoid reflections, you can fit UHF absorbent material. To do this, the absorbent material is mounted at various suspected reflection points until the field disturbance no longer occurs. Where possible, avoid the use of metal structures (for example housings) and use plastic instead. Even with reader-to-reader influence, you can use absorbent plates or shielding sheets. 78 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 4.7Planning and installation of UHF read points RF600 system planning CChannel management To operate the readers, depending on the country profile, you have between four and fifty send channels available. Ideally, you should make the channel assignments manually in STEP 7 Basic / Professional (TIA Portal) or in the WBM. This allows you to reduce reader-to reader influence and if applicable field obliteration.

... .. .. Use of multiple antennas Enabling send pauses Varying the antenna polarization If you do not find the ideal antenna position to be able to identify the transponders in the various positions and alignments, you have the option of using more antennas. Multiple antennas mounted at different positions enlarge the identification range. If too many neighboring readers send at the same time, this causes overload of the radio channels. In this case, enable the "Intermissions" function in the "Settings - General" menu item to improve read reliability. By using linear or circular antennas, you can reduce field obliteration. This improves the reader reliability in difficult radio conditions. The RF685R and RF680 readers also provide the option of operating the internal or external antenna both as a linear, vertical, linear horizontal and circular antenna. If more than one polarization is enabled, the polarization is changed automatically with each inventory. This increases the probability of identification in difficult radio conditions. Changing the antenna position In difficult radio conditions (e.g. where there is a lot of metal) it is possible that the communication between transponders and readers is impaired. You can counter this by changing the position of the antenna relative to the transponder. This also changes the multipath propagation of the radio waves and obliteration is reduced or shifted. Use of UHF algorithms In the "Settings - Read points" menu item of the WBM, you will find various "Tools" in the

"Algorithms" area that you can use to improve the read/write reliability.

Wireless approvals of SIMATIC RFID systems (http://www.siemens.com/rfid-approvals) 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.10.1 Overview These EMC directives answer the following questions:

Why are EMC directives necessary?

What types of external interference have an impact on the system?

How can interference be prevented?

How can interference be eliminated?

Examples of interference-free plant design The description is aimed at "qualified personnel":

Configuration engineers and planners who plan system configurations with RFID modules and have to observe the necessary guidelines.

Installation and service engineers who install the connecting cables in accordance with this description or who rectify defects in this area in the event of interference. Note OObserve the EMC directives Failure to observe the specifically emphasized notes can result in dangerous conditions in the plant or the destruction of individual components or the entire plant. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 97 RF600 system planning 4.10Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 44.10.2 What does EMC mean?

The increasing use of electrical and electronic devices is accompanied by:

Higher component density

More switched power electronics

Increasing switching rates

Lower power consumption of components due to steeper switching edges The higher the degree of automation, the greater the risk of interaction between devices. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of an electrical or electronic device to operate satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment without affecting or interfering with the environment over and above certain limits. EMC can be broken down into three different areas:

Internal immunity to interference:

Immunity to internal (own) electrical disturbance

External immunity to interference:

Immunity to external electromagnetic disturbances

Degree of interference emission:

Emission of interference and its effect on the electrical environment All three areas are considered when testing an electrical device. The RFID modules are tested for conformity with the limit values required by the CE and RED directives. Since the RFID modules are merely components of an overall system, and sources of interference can arise as a result of combining different components, certain directives have to be followed when setting up a plant. EMC measures usually consist of a complete package of measures, all of which need to be implemented in order to ensure that the plant is immune to interference. Note AAdherence to EMC directives The plant manufacturer is responsible for the observance of the EMC directives; the plant operator is responsible for radio interference suppression in the overall plant. All measures taken when setting up the plant prevent expensive retrospective modifications and interference suppression measures. The plant operator must comply with the locally applicable laws and regulations. They are not covered in this document. 98 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 4.10Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) RF600 system planning 44.10.3 Basic rules Shielding by enclosure It is often sufficient to follow a few elementary rules in order to ensure electromagnetic compatiblity (EMC). The following rules must be observed:

Protect the device against external interference by installing it in a cabinet or housing. The housing or enclosure must be connected to the chassis ground.

Use metal plates to shield against electromagnetic fields generated by inductances.

Use metal connector housings to shield data conductors. Wide-area ground connection

Plan a meshed grounding concept. Plan the cable installation

Bond all passive metal parts to chassis ground, ensuring large-area and low-HF-

Establish a large-area connection between the passive metal parts and the central impedance contact. grounding point.

Don't forget to include the shielding bus in the chassis ground system. That means the actual shielding busbars must be connected to ground by large-area contact.

Aluminium parts are not suitable for ground connections.

Break the cabling down into cable groups and install these separately.

Always route power cables, signal cables and HF cables through separated ducts or in separate bundles.

Feed the cabling into the cabinet from one side only and, if possible, on one level only.

Route the signal cables as close as possible to chassis surfaces.

Twist the feed and return conductors of separately installed cables.

Routing HF cables:

avoid parallel routing of HF cables.

Do not route cables through the antenna field. Shielding for the cables

Shield the data cables and connect the shield at both ends.

Shield the analog cables and connect the shield at one end, e.g. on the drive unit.

Always apply large-area connections between the cable shields and the shielding bus at the cabinet inlet and make the contact with clamps. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 99 RF600 system planning 4.10Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Feed the connected shield through to the module without interruption.

Use braided shields, not foil shields. LLine and signal filter

Connect the filter housing to the cabinet chassis using a large-area low-HF-impedance

Use only line filters with metal housings connection.

Never fix the filter housing to a painted surface.

Fix the filter at the control cabinet inlet or in the direction of the source. 4.10.4 Propagation of electromagnetic interference Three components have to be present for interference to occur in a system:

Interference source

Coupling path

Interference sink Figure 4-19 Propagation of interference If one of the components is missing, e.g. the coupling path between the interference source and the interference sink, the interference sink is unaffected, even if the interference source is transmitting a high level of noise. The EMC measures are applied to all three components, in order to prevent malfunctions due to interference. When setting up a plant, the manufacturer must take all possible measures in order to prevent the occurrence of interference sources:

Only devices fulfilling limit class A of VDE 0871 may be used in a plant.

Interference suppression measures must be introduced on all interference-emitting devices. This includes all coils and windings.

The design of the system must be such that mutual interference between individual components is precluded or kept as small as possible. Information and tips for plant design are given in the following sections. 100 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 4.10Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) RF600 system planning IInterference sources In order to achieve a high level of electromagnetic compatibility and thus a very low level of disturbance in a plant, it is necessary to recognize the most frequent interference sources. These must then be eliminated by appropriate measures.

Erect suitable damping materials between the antennas.

Reduce the power of the readers. Please follow the instructions in the section Installation guidelines/reducing the effects of metal Potential differences between different parts of a plant can arise due to the different design of the plant components and different voltage levels. If the plant components are connected across signal cables, transient currents flow across the signal cables. These transient currents can corrupt the signals. Proper equipotential bonding is thus essential.

The equipotential bonding conductor must have a sufficiently large cross section (at least 10 mm2).

The distance between the signal cable and the associated equipotential bonding conductor must be as small as possible (antenna effect).

A fine-strand conductor must be used (better high-frequency conductivity).

When connecting the equipotential bonding conductors to the centralized equipotential bonding strip (EBS), the power components and non-power components must be combined.

The equipotential bonding conductors of the separate modules must lead directly to the equipotential bonding strip. Figure 4-20 Equipotential bonding (EBS = Equipotential bonding strip) 102 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 4.10Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) RF600 system planning The better the equipotential bonding in a plant, the smaller the chance of interference due to fluctuations in potential. Equipotential bonding should not be confused with protective earthing of a plant. Protective earthing prevents the occurrence of excessive contact voltages in the event of equipment faults whereas equipotential bonding prevents the occurrence of differences in potential. 44.10.6 Cable shielding Signal cables must be shielded in order to prevent coupling of interference. The best shielding is achieved by installing the cables in steel tubes. However, this is only necessary if the signal cable is routed through an environment prone to particular interference. It is usually adequate to use cables with braided shields. In either case, however, correct connection is vital for effective shielding. The following generally applies:

For analog signal cables, the shield has to be connected at one end on the receiver side

For digital signals, the shield has to be connected to the enclosure at both ends

Since interference signals are frequently within the HF range (> 10 kHz), a large-area HF-

proof shield contact is necessary Figure 4-21 Cable shielding The shielding bus should be connected to the control cabinet enclosure in a manner allowing good conductance (large-area contact) and must be situated as close as possible to the cable inlet. The cable insulation must be removed and the cable clamped to the shielding bus (high-frequency clamp) or secured using cable ties. Care should be taken to ensure that the connection allows good conductance. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 103 RF600 system planning 4.10Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-22 Connection of shielding bus The shielding bus must be connected to the PE busbar. If shielded cables have to be interrupted, the shield must be continued via the corresponding connector housing. Only suitable connectors may be used for this purpose. Figure 4-23 Interruption of shielded cables If intermediate connectors, which do not have a suitable shield connection are used, the shield must be continued by fixing cable clamps at the point of interruption. This ensures a large-area, HF-conducting contact. 104 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 55 RReaders 55.1 Overview The following table shows the most important features of the stationary RF600 readers at a glance:

Notes on connectors and cables The cables with open cable ends (6GT2891-4EH20, 6GT2891-4EH50) have an 8-pin M12 plug at one end, while the other end of the cable is "open". There are 8 color-coded single wires there for connecting to external devices. The product range includes additional cables of the type 6GT2891-4Fxxx (2 to 50 m) with an M12 connector at both ends. These cables can be used as extension cables. Long cables can be shortened if necessary. NOTICE Insulate unused single wires Unused single wires must be insulated individually to prevent unwanted connections of signal lines. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 109 Readers 5.2SIMATIC RF610R NNOTICE FFor long cables: Adapt the power supply and transmission speed Note that even with long cables, the supply voltage of 24 VDC must always be guaranteed. Note also that the transmission speed on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced. SIMATIC standard cables (e.g. 6GT2891-4FN10) have a loop resistance of 160 mOhm /

meter. This results in a voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the 24 V cable for every 10 meters of connecting cable and with a power requirement of 500 mA. If the power requirement increases through the use of the digital inputs/outputs, the voltage drop increases accordingly. 55.2.1.4 Pin assignment of the Industrial Ethernet interface (X1 P1) Table 5- 5 Pin assignment of the Industrial Ethernet interface (reader end) View of interface

The cables with open cable ends (6GT2891-4EH20, 6GT2891-4EH50) have an 8-pin M12 plug at one end, while the other end of the cable is "open". There are 8 color-coded single wires there for connecting to external devices. The product range includes additional cables of the type 6GT2891-4Fxxx (2 to 50 m) with an M12 connector at both ends. These cables can be used as extension cables. Long cables can be shortened if necessary. NOTICE Insulate unused single wires Unused single wires must be insulated individually to prevent unwanted connections of signal lines. NOTICE For llong cables: Adapt the power supply and transmission speed Note that even with long cables, the supply voltage of 24 VDC must always be guaranteed. Note also that the transmission speed on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced. SIMATIC standard cables (e.g. 6GT2891-4FN10) have a loop resistance of 160 mOhm /

meter. This results in a voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the 24 V cable for every 10 meters of connecting cable and with a power requirement of 500 mA. If the power requirement increases through the use of the digital inputs/outputs, the voltage drop increases accordingly. 154 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 Readers 5.4SIMATIC RF650R 55.4.1.6 Pin assignment of the Industrial Ethernet interface (X1 P1) Table 5- 27 Pin assignment of the Industrial Ethernet interface (reader end) View of interface

If plug-in connectors from other manufacturers are used, it may be difficult or even impossible to remove the plug from the reader. On the top of the reader there is a blind drill hole (M4 x 8) for grounding. Tighten the screw with a torque of 1.5 Nm. WARNING Hazardous voltage due to lightning strikes Death or serious injury may occur as a result of lightning strikes to antennas mounted outside buildings. If the reader is operated with antennas mounted outside buildings, it is imperative that the reader is electrically connected to the ground potential. NOTICE Installation only in protected areas The antenna can be installed in the protected part of a building. When implementing your lightning protection concept, make sure you adhere to the VDE 0182 or IEC 62305 standards.

The cables with open cable ends (6GT2891-4EH20, 6GT2891-4EH50) have an 8-pin M12 plug at one end, while the other end of the cable is "open". There are 8 color-coded single wires there for connecting to external devices. The product range includes additional cables of the type 6GT2891-4Fxxx (2 to 50 m) with an M12 connector at both ends. These cables can be used as extension cables. Long cables can be shortened if necessary. NOTICE Insulate unused single wires Unused single wires must be insulated individually to prevent unwanted connections of signal lines. NOTICE For long cables: Adapt the power supply and transmission sspeed Note that even with long cables, the supply voltage of 24 VDC must always be guaranteed. Note also that the transmission speed on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced. SIMATIC standard cables (e.g. 6GT2891-4FN10) have a loop resistance of 160 mOhm /

meter. This results in a voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the 24 V cable for every 10 meters of connecting cable and with a power requirement of 500 mA. If the power requirement increases through the use of the digital inputs/outputs, the voltage drop increases accordingly.

The cables with open cable ends (6GT2891-4EH20, 6GT2891-4EH50) have an 8-pin M12 plug at one end, while the other end of the cable is "open". There are 8 color-coded single wires there for connecting to external devices. The product range includes additional cables of the type 6GT2891-4Fxxx (2 to 50 m) with an M12 connector at both ends. These cables can be used as extension cables. Long cables can be shortened if necessary. NOTICE Insulate unused single wires Unused single wires must be insulated individually to prevent unwanted connections of signal lines. NOTICE For long cables: Adapt the power supply and transmission sspeed Note that even with long cables, the supply voltage of 24 VDC must always be guaranteed. Note also that the transmission speed on the serial interface must, if necessary, be reduced. SIMATIC standard cables (e.g. 6GT2891-4FN10) have a loop resistance of 160 mOhm /

meter. This results in a voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the 24 V cable for every 10 meters of connecting cable and with a power requirement of 500 mA. If the power requirement increases through the use of the digital inputs/outputs, the voltage drop increases accordingly. 204 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 Readers 5.6SIMATIC RF685R 55.6.1.6 Pin assignment of the Industrial Ethernet interface (X1 P1; X1 P2) Table 5- 49 Pin assignment of the Industrial Ethernet interface (reader end) View of interface

This means that you can set the antenna polarization to be either horizontal, vertical or circular. With the internal antenna active and at 2000 mW ERP radiated power, due to the aperture angle of the antennas, their fields can overlap considerably. This means it is no longer possible to be sure in which of the antenna fields the data of a transponder will be accessed. To avoid these cases, always observe the recommended minimum distances between two readers as described in the section "Reciprocal influence of read points (Page 47)". Dense Reader Mode (DRM) The readers can also interfere with each other (secondary fields), if the channels (Reader TX, Transponder TX) overlap. In order to prevent a transponder channel overlapping with a reader channel, we recommend that the Dense Reader Mode (DRM) is used. Note PProtective cap If you only use the internal antenna of the reader, we recommend that you close the external, unused antenna connector on the reader using a protective cap. 206 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 Readers 5.6SIMATIC RF685R AAntenna diagram for RF685R (ETSI) The following radiation diagrams show the directional characteristics of the internal antenna of the RF685R (ETSI) reader.

The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the radiation patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with regard to a transponder. The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi value and a second dBi value. Table 5- 52 Range of antenna depending on antenna gain Deviation from maximum antenna gain [dBr]

In the Azimuth diagram, the antenna gain falls by 3dB at approximately 39. This means that the dBr value is -3. The antenna range is only 70 % of the maximum range at 39 from the Z axis within the horizontal plane. 5.6.2.2 External antenna Preassembled standard cables in lengths of 1 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m and 40 m are available to connect the antenna. The read range is limited by the cable loss. The maximum range can be achieved with the cable 6GT2815-0BH10 (length 1 m) since this has the lowest cable loss.

The area between antenna and transponder should also allow wave propagation without interference. AAntenna gain depends on the mounting surface Note that the antenna gain depends on the material of the mounting surface. If the antenna is mounted on a metallic surface, the antenna gain is -5 dBi. If the antenna is mounted on a non-metallic surface, the antenna gain is -10 dBi.

Preassembled standard cables in lengths of 1 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m and 40 m are available to connect the antenna. The range of the antenna is limited by the cable loss. The maximum range can be achieved with the cable 6GT2815-0BH10 (length 1 m), since this cable has the lowest cable loss. Note UUse of Siemens antenna cable To ensure optimum functioning of the antenna, it is recommended that a Siemens antenna cable is used in accordance with the list of accessories. To protect the antenna connecting cable from strain, you can attach strain relief, e.g. in the form of a strain relief clamp.

The mounting system consists of four fixing holes for M4 screws at intervals of 100 mm. The antenna is suitable for mounting on metallic and non-metallic surfaces. Note AAchieving optimum wave propagation To achieve optimum wave propagation, the antenna should not be surrounded by conducting objects. The area between antenna and transponder should also allow wave propagation without interference. Antenna holders The Siemens antenna holders allow for fine adjustment of the antenna field by setting the solid angle. 272 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 Antennas 6.4SIMATIC RF640A 66.4.4 Connecting the antenna The SIMATIC RF640A antenna must be connected to the reader using an antenna cable. Preassembled standard cables in lengths of 1 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m and 40 m are available to connect the antenna. The range of the antenna is limited by the cable loss. The maximum range can be achieved with the cable 6GT2815-0BH10 (length 1 m), since this cable has the lowest cable loss. Requirement Strain relief Note UUse of Siemens antenna cable To ensure optimum functioning of the antenna, it is recommended that a Siemens antenna cable is used in accordance with the list of accessories. To protect the antenna connecting cable from strain, you can attach strain relief, e.g. in the form of a strain relief clamp. The following graphic shows the optimum mounting point for attaching strain relief.

The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with regard to a transponder. The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi/dBic value and a second dBi/dBic value. Deviation from maximum antenna gain [dBr]

-18 Example 100 70 50 35 25 18 13 As can be seen in Directional radiation patterns in the ETSI frequency band (Page 279), the maximum antenna gain in the vertical plane is 3.45 dBi (6.45 dBic). In this plane, and with the polarization axis of the transponder parallel to the axis of symmetry of the antenna, the antenna gain drops to about 0.5 dBic at +50 or 310. Therefore the dBr value is -6. The antenna range is only 50% of the maximum range at + 50 or 310 from the Z axis within the vertical plane (see values shown in blue in the directional radiation pattern: Characteristic of the vertical plane of the antenna (Page 279) and the associated representation of the reference system (Page 278)). 288 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 Antennas 6.4SIMATIC RF640A 66.4.7 Technical data Table 6- 19 Technical specifications for the RF640A antenna Product type designation SIMATIC RF640A 6GT28812-00GA08 Radio frequencies Operating frequency Maximum radiated power

The area between antenna and transponder should also allow wave propagation without interference. Antenna holders The Siemens antenna holders allow for fine adjustment of the antenna field by setting the solid angle. 294 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 Antennas 6.5SIMATIC RF642A 66.5.4 Connecting the antenna The SIMATIC RF642A antenna must be connected to the reader using an antenna cable. Preassembled standard cables in lengths of 1 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m and 40 m are available to connect the antenna. The range of the antenna is limited by the cable loss. The maximum range can be achieved with the cable 6GT2815-0BH10 (length 1 m), since this cable has the lowest cable loss. Requirement Strain relief Note UUse of Siemens antenna cable To ensure optimum functioning of the antenna, it is recommended that a Siemens antenna cable is used in accordance with the list of accessories. To protect the antenna connecting cable from strain, you can attach strain relief, e.g. in the form of a strain relief clamp. The following graphic shows the optimum mounting point for attaching strain relief.

The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with regard to a transponder. The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi value and a second dBi value. Deviation from maximum antenna gain [dBr]

In this plane and with the parallel polarization axis at +70 or 300, the antenna gain dropped to about 0 dBi. Therefore the dBr value is 6.

The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with regard to a transponder. The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi/dBic value and a second dBi/dBic value.

In this plane, and with the polarization axis of the transponder parallel to the axis of symmetry of the antenna, the antenna gain drops to about 0.5 dBic at +50 or 310. This means that the dBr value is -6. The antenna range is only +50% of the maximum range at + 50 or 310 from the Z axis within the vertical plane (see values shown in blue in the directional radiation pattern:

With a circular antenna the alignment of the antenna axis of symmetry changes between horizontal and vertical each time it transmits. For this reason, with a circular antenna the alignment of the transponder polarization axis (horizontal/vertical) is unimportant. Make sure, however, that the transponder is aligned with the antenna. Figure 6-53 Alignment of the transponder polarization axis with a circular antenna axis of symmetry With a linear vertical or linear horizontal antenna, the alignment of the transponder polarization axis, must correspond to the alignment of the antenna axis of symmetry.

The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with regard to a transponder. The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi/dBic value and a second dBi/dBic value.

-18 Example 100 70 50 35 25 18 13 As can be seen in "Antenna patterns in the ETSI frequency band (Page 346)" the maximum antenna gain in the vertical plane is 3.45 dBi (6.45 dBic). In this plane, and with the polarization axis of the transponder parallel to the axis of symmetry of the antenna, the antenna gain drops to about 0.5 dBic at +50 or 310. This means that the dBr value is -6. The antenna range is only +50% of the maximum range at + 50 or 310 from the Z axis within the vertical plane (see values shown in blue in the directional radiation pattern:

The principle of operation of a passive RFID transponder is as follows:

Diversion of some of the high-frequency energy emitted by the reader to supply power to the integrated chip

Receiving commands from the reader

Responses are transmitted to the reader antenna by modulating the reflected radio waves

(backscatter technique) Figure 7-1 Mode of operation of transponders The transmission ranges achieved vary depending on the size of the transponder and therefore its dipole antenna. In general the following rule applies: The smaller the transponder and therefore the antenna, the shorter the range. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 359 77.1.2 Transponder classes and generations The transponder classes are distinguished by the different communication protocols used between the reader and transponder. Transponder classes are usually not mutually compatible. The following transponder classes/protocol types are supported by the RF600 system:

Transponder 7.1Overview

ISO 18000-62

ISO 18000-63 Transponders supported RF600 system supports passive transponders with the following minimum characteristics:

EPC ID (Electronic Product Code IDentifier)

TID

A function which permanently ensures that transponders no longer respond.

After the lock programming can no longer be reprogrammed. 7.1.3 Electronic Product Code (EPC) The Electronic Product Code (EPC) supports the unique identification of objects (e.g. retail items, logistical items or transport containers). This makes extremely accurate identification possible. In practical use, the EPC is stored on a transponder and scanned by the reader. There are different EPC number schemes with different data lengths. Below is the structure of a GID-96-bit code (EPC Global Tag Data Standards V1.1 Rev. 1.27) :

Header: identifies the EPC identification number that follows with regard to length, type, structure and version of the EPC

EPC Manager: identifies the company/corporation

Object class: Corresponds to the article number

Serial Number: consecutive number of the article The Siemens UHF transponders are all suitable for working with EPC and other number schemes. Before a transponder can work with a number scheme, the relevant numbers must first be written to the transponder. 360 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 SIMATIC RF600 PPresetting of the EPC memory of industrial Siemens transponders RF6xxT The first 12 bytes of the EPC memory ("0x00 - 0x0B") are preset.

NOTICE Reduction of the write/read range NOTICE Mounting at a high temperature To relieve mechanical strain or tension on the transponder, when using the transponder at temperatures > +80 C the transponder should be mechanically separated from the supporting surface by using the mounting brackets (due to the differing expansion coefficients of all materials). 7.13.3.3 Range when mounted on flat metallic carrier plates The transponder generally has linear polarization. The polarization axis runs as shown in the diagram below. The polarization axis of the transponder should always run parallel to the polarization axis of the antenna to achieve optimum distances and results. If the transponder is centrally mounted on a plane metal plate, which may either be almost square or circular, it can be aligned in any direction if the transmitting and receiving antennas operate with circular polarization (such as the RF650A). Figure 7-40 Optimum positioning of the transponder on a (square or circular) metal plate The metal plate must have a minimum diameter of 150 x 150 mm.

The LED status display of the RF680R and RF685R readers has several functions. Among other things, the status display provides the following functions:

Startup of the reader The startup process of the reader is displayed by a status bar lit yellow. As soon as the startup is completed, the reader requires several seconds before it is operational. This phase is indicated by a status bar flashing yellow. During a firmware update, the startup takes longer. The reader is ready for operation when the "R/S" LED is lit/flashes green. If the "R/S"

LED is flashing, the reader is waiting for a connection. If the "R/S" LED is lit constantly, the reader is connected to the controller or PC.

Error display

Display of RF activity If there is an error, the actual error is indicated by the lighting/flashing pattern. The "ER"

LED of the LED operating display also flashes. You will find more information on error messages in the section "XML/PLC error messages (Page 473)". Indicates whether the reader is sending via the antenna (constant green), whether transponders were detected by the reader (flashing yellow) and whether a transponder was sent to the user application (constant yellow).

Indication of the quality of the antenna alignment (RSSI) When aligning the antenna, using the WBM, the status display indicates the RSSI value with which the transponder was detected. The more LEDs light up (first 3x red, then 3x yellow, then 3x green), the higher the RSSI value with which the transponder was detected. You can find more information on the antenna alignment in the configuration manual

LED status display (ST1 - ST9)

LED operating display Figure 9-2 LED displays of the RF680R/RF685R readers Error messages are indicated by red flashing status LEDs and the red flashing "ER" LED. A distinction is made between hardware errors (faults) and normal errors. With hardware errors, the LEDs flash with a fast frequency of 4 Hz. With all other errors, the LEDs flash with a slow frequency of 2 Hz. The detailed LED error display described here is enabled as default. If required, you can disable this in the "Settings - General" menu item of the WBM. If the LED error display is enabled, a separate LED pattern is assigned to every error in the LED status display. The displayed LED patterns are based on the error code of the hexadecimal error message converted to binary. Example The error "0x12" (XML error message) is displayed. Converted to binary, this results in the value "0001 0010". This converted value is displayed in the LED status display. The value

"0" means that the corresponding LED does not light up, whereas the value "1" means that the corresponding LED is lit red. The middle (5th LED) of the LED status display serves as a

"delimiter" and is always lit yellow.

A parameter of an XML command has an invalid value or the parameter assignment of the communications module or the reader was incorrect. Possible causes / action to be taken:

Check the parameters in the Ident profile. Check the relevant XML command. Check the parameter assignment in HW Config / STEP 7 (TIA Portal). The "WRITE-CONFIG" command has incorrect parameter settings. After a startup, the reader or communications module has still not received an

"INIT".

The parameter assignment of the reader or communications module on PROFIBUS/PROFINET was incorrect and the command cannot be executed. Possible causes / action to be taken:

Length of the input/output areas is too small for the cyclic I/O word. Check whether you have used the correct GSD file. User data length set with the command (e.g. "READ") is too high.

Error when processing the command. Possible causes / action to be taken:

The data in "AdvancedCmd" or "IID_CMD_STRUCT" is incorrect (e.g. "WRITE"

command with length = 0). Check "AdvancedCmd" or "IID_CMD_STRUCT" and execute an "INIT". The hardware of the reader/communications module is defective. The reader or communications module receives bad data with an "INIT". The AB byte does not match the user data length.

The wrong reset block was selected. Possible causes / action to be taken:

Regardless of the selected reader system, use the "Reset_Reader" function block. A transponder has passed through the transmission window of a reader without being pro-

cessed.

This error message is not reported immediately. Instead, the reader or communications module waits for the next write / read command. This command is replied to immediate-

Note CCountry-specific adaptation of the connector When necessary, the primary cable can be adapted to country-specific conditions. The connector can be replaced by a country-specific connector. If you do this, make sure that the protective conductor is connected in the connector and that grounding is ensured. If the protective conductor cannot be connected through the plug, you must connect the grounding connection to the mounting hole provided by the metal shoe. Follow the steps below to mount and connect the wide-range power supply unit:

1. Mount the wide-range power supply using the 4x screws. Remember to make the grounding connection with the mounting hole provided by the metal shoe. For detailed information on grounding and compliance with the EMC directives, refer to the "Grounding connection" section below. 2. Connect the reader to the outputs and of the wide-range power supply unit. 3. Connect the power cable to the primary input (PE) of the wide-range power supply 4. Connect the power cable of the wide-range power supply unit to the voltage supply. unit. NOTICE Plugging/pulling the power supply cable Plugging or pulling the power cable of the wide-range power supply unit is only permitted when no voltage is applied (powered-down) NOTTICE Strain on the power cable connector The power cable is attached to / removed from the power supply using the knurled nut integrated in the plug. Avoid twisting the plug once it is mounted. If high shock and vibration occurs, this stress must be absorbed by the power cable. NOTICE Restriction for maximum load If the readers are operated permanently at full load and the digital inputs/outputs are loaded with the maximum total current of 1.1 A, the maximum current consumption of a reader can reach 2 A. In this case, a maximum of one reader may be connected per wide-range power supply unit.

Figure 10-2 Example of a configuration with an RF600 system with a power splitter The link between the reader and the power splitter (3.2 dB attenuation) is via a cable 1 m in length (0.5 dB cable attenuation). Cables with a length of 5 m (1.25 dB cable attenuation) are used between the power splitter and the antennas. To calculate the total attenuation made up of the cable attenuation and the attenuation of the power splitter, the various attenuation values need to be added. For the configuration shown above, the total attenuation is as follows:

0.5 dB + 3.2 dB + 1.25 dB = 4.95 dB The total attenuation of 4.95 dB must be stored in the configuration of the reader as user-

defined cable attenuation. When using several different antennas, the antenna gain of the antenna with the highest gain must be specified. This ensures that the maximum permitted transmit power is not exceeded. Note that when using different antenna cable lengths, the radiated power of the antenna with the longer cable is lower. 10.2.4 Technical specifications Table 10- 12 Technical specifications Product type designation Power splitter 6GT2890--0BC00 Electrical data Transmission frequency Max. input power Impedance Attenuation between input and outputs 500 ... 1000 MHz 10 W 50 3.2 dB SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618 495 Accessories 10.2Power splitter for RF600 systems MMechanical specifications Connector
