Introduction

Introduction
SIMATIC RF200 is a compact RFID system in the SIMATIC RFID product family. The
product range comprises cost-efficient RF readers that are ideal for use in small assembly
lines or in intralogistics. SIMATIC RF200 RFID readers only support the RFID standard ISO
15693 and are therefore ideal for operation with the extensive range of ISO 15693
transponders.
The readers of the RF200 product family are available with the following interfaces:
● RS-422 for connecting to the communications modules
● RS-232 with a simple ASCII protocol for connection to PCs and third-party controllers
● IO-Link for connection to IO Link masters from Siemens and third-party controllers
Readers with an internal antenna have a particularly compact design
(RF210R/RF220R/RF240R/RF260R). RF250R and RF290R are designed for operation with
external antennas either to achieve longer distances or larger field sizes (RF290R with ANT
D5/D6/D10) or to allow installation where there is very little space (RF250R with ANT
3/8/12/18/30).
