RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 4.3.8 Operation of several readers within restricted space 4.3.8.1 Using more than one reader When mounting the readers make sure that there is a minimum clearance of 0.5 m between the readers to avoid them influencing each other. Avoiding problems When several RFID readers are used, there is a danger that RFID transponders can also be read out by other readers.
Page 51: Frequency Hopping
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations 4.3.8.3 Frequency hopping This technique is intended to prevent mutual interference between readers. The reader changes its transmission channel in a random or programmed sequence (FHSS). Procedure for FCC Frequency hopping is always active in the FCC country profile. With 50 available channels the probability is low that two readers will be operating on the same frequency.
Page 52: General Application Planning
RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Purpose of this chapter This section will help you to select the suitable antenna or the suitable cable taking into account all important criteria and to make the relevant settings in the configuration software/WBM of the SIMATIC RF600 system. Correct and safe integration into the SIMATIC RF600 system is only possible following adaptation of all required parameters.
Page 53: Types Of Antenna
With the readers, the parameters for the transmit/radiated power, antenna gain and cable loss (user-defined) are set using the WBM. In the WBM, you can select the Siemens products being used from a drop-down list quickly and easily, and the values and their effect on the transmit/radiated power are calculated directly.
Page 54 RF600 system planning 4.3 Antenna configurations Antenna cable loss In order to be able to transmit the available UHF power from the RF600 reader to the antenna or antennas, the antenna cable loss should not exceed a value of approx. 5 dB. Dependency of the cable loss The cable loss depends on two important factors: ●...
Page 55: Environmental Conditions For Transponders
RF600 system planning 4.4 Environmental conditions for transponders Environmental conditions for transponders Basic rules The transponder must not be placed directly on metal surfaces or on containers of liquid. The on-metal transponders designed specifically for use in metallic environments are an exception to this.

RF600 system planning 4.5 The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band Reducing the effect of reflections/interference on transponder identification ● Reducing the transmit power: To minimize interference, we recommend that the transmit power of the reader is reduced until it is sufficient for an identification rate of 100%.
Page 57: Influence Of Liquids And Non-Metallic Substances
RF600 system planning 4.5 The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band This effect depends very much on the transmitted power, the components being used (cable, antenna) and the distance from the metallic surface to the antenna. In this case, repositioning/realigning the antenna or reducing the radiated power can remedy the situation.

Page 87: What Does Emc Mean
RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.9.2 What does EMC mean? The increasing use of electrical and electronic devices is accompanied by: ● Higher component density ● More switched power electronics ● Increasing switching rates ● Lower power consumption of components due to steeper switching edges The higher the degree of automation, the greater the risk of interaction between devices.
Page 88: Basic Rules
RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4.9.3 Basic rules It is often sufficient to follow a few elementary rules in order to ensure electromagnetic compatiblity (EMC). The following rules must be observed: Shielding by enclosure ● Protect the device against external interference by installing it in a cabinet or housing. The housing or enclosure must be connected to the chassis ground.
Page 89: Propagation Of Electromagnetic Interference
RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) ● Feed the connected shield through to the module without interruption. ● Use braided shields, not foil shields. Line and signal filter ● Use only line filters with metal housings ● Connect the filter housing to the cabinet chassis using a large-area low-HF-impedance connection.
Page 90 RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Interference sources In order to achieve a high level of electromagnetic compatibility and thus a very low level of disturbance in a plant, it is necessary to recognize the most frequent interference sources. These must then be eliminated by appropriate measures.

Page 92: Cable Shielding
RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-17 Equipotential bonding (EBS = Equipotential bonding strip) The better the equipotential bonding in a plant, the smaller the chance of interference due to fluctuations in potential. Equipotential bonding should not be confused with protective earthing of a plant. Protective earthing prevents the occurrence of excessive contact voltages in the event of equipment faults whereas equipotential bonding prevents the occurrence of differences in potential.
Page 93 RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-18 Cable shielding The shielding bus should be connected to the control cabinet enclosure in a manner allowing good conductance (large-area contact) and must be situated as close as possible to the cable inlet.
Page 94 RF600 system planning 4.9 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-20 Interruption of shielded cables If intermediate connectors, which do not have a suitable shield connection are used, the shield must be continued by fixing cable clamps at the point of interruption. This ensures a large-area, HF-conducting contact.
