Integration into RF600 systems
The RF622A antenna is designed for integration in SIMATIC RF600 systems or for connection
to SIMATIC RF600 readers.
Antenna parameter assignment is performed using the Web Based Management (WBM) of
the reader to which the antenna is connected. You can specify the parameters for the
antenna in the menu "Settings > Read points > Assigned antennas".
Note
Antenna selection with parameter assignment using the WBM
If the RF622A is not displayed in the settings of the read point during parameter assignment
of the SIMATIC RF600 readers via the WBM (menu "Settings > Read points > Assigned
antennas > Gain"), then select the corresponding RF620A antenna variant. The power
parameters (radiated power, antenna gain, cable loss) of both antennas are identical.
4.1
Connecting the antenna
The SIMATIC RF622A antenna must be connected to the reader using an antenna cable.
Preassembled standard cables in lengths of 1 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m and 40 m are
available to connect the antenna.
The range of the antenna is limited by the cable loss. The maximum range can be achieved
with the cable 6GT2815-0BH10 (length 1 m), since this cable has the lowest cable loss.
Requirement
Note
Use of Siemens antenna cable
To ensure optimum functioning of the antenna, it is recommended that a Siemens antenna
cable is used in accordance with the list of accessories.
