RF600 system planning
4.1
Overview
You should observe the following criteria for implementation planning:
● Possible system configurations
● Antenna configurations
● Environmental conditions for transponders
● The response of electromagnetic waves in the UHF band
● Regulations applicable to frequency bands
● EMC Directives
4.2
Possible system configurations
The SIMATIC RF600 system is characterized by a high level of standardization of its
components. This means that the system follows the TIA principle throughout: Totally
Integrated Automation. It provides maximum transparency at all levels with its reduced
interface overhead. This ensures optimum interaction between all system components.
The RF600 system with its flexible components offers many possibilities for system
configuration. This section shows you how you can use the RF600 components on the basis
of various example scenarios.
Note
Readers used in the following scenarios
The scenarios shown in the following sections are based on the RF650R, RF680R and
RF685R readers. Remember that the individual scenarios can also be implemented with the
RF620R, RF630R, RF640R or RF670R readers.
