Page 56: General Application Planning
General application planning Overview of the total SIMATIC RF600 system and its influencing factors The following graphic shows the design of the total SIMATIC RF600 system and the factors which have an influence on the total system. You must be aware of these influencing factors and also consider them if you wish to integrate third-party components such as antennas or cables into the system.
Page 57: Environmental Conditions
Always proceed in the following order during your considerations and the practical implementation: 1. Consider which third-party components you wish to use in the SIMATIC RF600 system. 2. Depending on the third-party component required, refer either to section Antennas (Page 58) or section Antenna cables (Page 69) for the important criteria for selection of your components.
Page 58: Antennas
Types of antenna and properties Basically all types of directional antennas can be considered as third-party antennas for integration into the SIMATIC RF600 system. Directional antennas have a preferred direction in which more energy is radiated than in other directions.
