    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.

    ● Always apply large-area connections between the cable shields and the shielding bus at the cabinet inlet and make the contact with clamps. ● Feed the connected shield through to the module without interruption. ● Use braided shields, not foil shields.

  • Page 85: Cabinet Configuration

    If the control cabinet panels are insulated from each other, a high-frequency-conducting connection can be established using ribbon cables and high-frequency terminals or HF conducting paste. The larger the area of the connection, the greater the high-frequency conductivity. This is not possible using single-wire connections. SIMATIC RF300 System Manual, 01/2009, A5E01642529-03...
  • Page 86 ● The interference can be further decreased by installing grounded shielding plates. ● The load connections and power cables should be installed separately from the signal cables with a minimum clearance of 10 cm.

    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, 01/2009, A5E01642529-03...
