Description
A communication module (interface module) is used to integrate the RF
identification system in controllers/automation systems.
The reader (read/write device) ensures inductive communication and power
supply to the transponder, and handles the connection to the various
controllers (e.g. SIMATIC S7) through the communication module (e.g. ASM
475).
The transponder (data memory) stores all data relevant to the production
process and is used, for example, instead of barcode.
