RFID components and their function
RF 300 system components
Communication
A communication module (interface module) is used to integrate the RF identification system in
modules
PLC/automation systems. In the case of SIMATIC RF 300, the reader is connected to an S7 automation
system either via the 8xIQ-Sense module or an equivalent MOBY interface module (e.g. ASM 475).
Readers
The reader ensures inductive communication, supplies power to the transponders, and handles the
connection to the various PLCs (e.g. SIMATIC S7).
Transponders
Transponders (mobile data memories) are used, for example, in place of barcodes and can contain all
product-specific data in addition to the product number.
