Application areas of RF300

SIMATIC RF300 is primarily used for non-contact identification of containers, palettes and
workpiece holders in a closed production circuit. The data carriers (transponders) remain in
the production chain and are not supplied with the products. SIMATIC RF300, with its
compact transponder and reader enclosure dimensions, is particularly suitable in confined
spaces.
Main applications
● Mechanical engineering, automation systems, conveyor systems
● Ancillary assembly lines in the automotive industry, component suppliers
● Small assembly lines
Application examples
● Production lines for engines, gearboxes, axles, etc.
● Assembly lines for ABS systems, airbags, brake systems, doors, cockpits, etc.
● Assembly lines for household electrical appliances, consumer electronics and electronic
● Assembly lines for PCs, small-power motors, contactors, switches
Advantages
● Reading and writing of large data volumes within a short time results in shorter production
● Can be used in harsh environments thanks to rugged components with high degree of
● Simple and low-cost system integration into SIMATIC S7 and PROFIBUS (TIA)
● Shorter commissioning times and fewer plant failures and downtimes thanks to integral
● Cost savings thanks to maintenance-free components
