  • Page 16: Rf300 System Overview

    RF300 3.2.1 RF300 system overview SIMATIC RF300 is an inductive identification system specially designed for use in industrial production for the control and optimization of material flow. Thanks to its compact dimensions, RF300 is the obvious choice where installation conditions are restricted, especially for assembly lines, handling systems and workpiece carrier systems.
  • Page 17: Application Areas Of Rf300

    SIMATIC RF300 is primarily used for non-contact identification of containers, palettes and workpiece holders in a closed production circuit. The data carriers (transponders) remain in the production chain and are not supplied with the products. SIMATIC RF300, with its compact transponder and reader enclosure dimensions, is particularly suitable in confined spaces.

    The RF310R, RF340R and RF380R readers are equipped with an integral antenna, whereas the RF350R reader is operated over an external antenna. In this system manual, the term "Reader" is used throughout even where it is actually referring to the antenna of the reader. SIMATIC RF300 System Manual, 09/2007, J31069 D0166-U001-A5-7618...

    Equipotential bonding should not be confused with protective earthing of a plant. Protective earthing prevents the occurrence of excessive shock voltages in the event of equipment faults whereas equipotential bonding prevents the occurrence of differences in potential.

    The cable insulation must be removed and the cable clamped to the shielding bus (high-frequency clamp) or secured using cable ties. Care should be taken to ensure that the connection allows good conductance. SIMATIC RF300 System Manual, 09/2007, J31069 D0166-U001-A5-7618...
