SIMATIC RF630T
7.4.1
Characteristics
The SIMATIC RF630T transponder is a passive (i.e. battery-free) and maintenance-free,
cylindrical data carrier. It functions based on the UHF Class 1 Gen 2 technology and is used
for saving the electronic product code (EPC) of 96 bits/240 bits. The transponder also has a
512-bit user memory.
Application areas include the mounting of metallic components (e.g. engine assembly in the
automobile industry) as well as RF identification of tools, containers and metal frames.
The RF630T is small and rugged and suitable for industrial applications with IP68/IPX9K
degree of protection. It is highly resistant to oil, grease and cleaning agents.
The SIMATIC RF630T is mounted directly onto metal surfaces to ensure optimum
functioning and its typical detection range is 1.5 m.
