    6.2.3.1 Overview of the total SIMATIC RF600 system and its influencing factors The following graphic shows the design of the total SIMATIC RF600 system and the factors which have an influence on the total system. You must be aware of these influencing factors and also consider them if you wish to integrate third-party components such as antennas or cables into the system.

  • Page 152: Environmental Conditions

    Always proceed in the following order during your considerations and the practical implementation: 1. Consider which third-party components you wish to use in the SIMATIC RF600 system. 2. Depending on the third-party component required, refer either to Section Antennas (Page 153) or Section Antenna cables (Page 165) for the important criteria for selection of your components.
