Features of the scenario
In this example scenario. items must be distributed to the correct storage location in a transport
container via a separating filter. The RFID tags of type SIMATIC RF630L are directly attached
to the item. The maximum transport velocity of the conveyor is 2 m/s.
In this scenario, bulk acquisition is necessary because several objects must be detected at
the same time.
The SIMATIC RF630R reader uses two external antennas in a portal arrangement to read the
information from the tags on the passing items and transfers it to the SIMATIC S7 controller
via a communication module. The SIMATIC S7 controls the separating filter of the conveyor
system depending on the tag information.
If only one simple evaluation of the tag ID is required, and the data will not undergo further
processing, the SIMATIC RF670R offers this function without interfacing to the controller.
