Characteristics

The SIMATIC RF640T Gen 2 transponder is a passive (i.e. battery-free) and maintenance-
free, round-shaped 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.
Fields of application are industrial asset management, RF identification of tools, containers
and metallic equipment.
The tool tag is small, smart, and rugged, suitable for industrial applications with degree of
protection IP68. It is resistant to mineral oils, lubricants and detergents.
Preferably the SIMATIC RF640T is to be mounted direct on a flat metal surface of at least
150 mm diameter where it achieves a typical sensing distance of 4 m.
