3.2.1 System overview of SIMATIC RF300
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. RF300
is suitable for both simple and demanding RFID applications and it stands out for its persuasive
price/performance ratio.
Scanmode applications
In applications without command control, the transponders are read automatically. The type of
data acquisition and transfer is preset in the reader using parameters.
Medium-performance applications
RF300 in conjunction with ISO transponders provides a cost-effective solution for medium-
performance applications.
High-performance applications
The high-performance components of RF300 in conjunction with the RF300 transponders
provide advantages in terms of high data transmission speeds and storage capacities.
SIMATIC RF300 - 2nd generation
The current delivery stage presents an innovative 2nd generation of the readers RF310R,
RF340R, RF350R and RF380R is available. These readers apart from additional performance
characteristics are 100% compatible with the RF300 of the 1st generation. The 2nd generation
of the RF380R comes later.
Additional performance features:
• Additional transponder protocol ISO 14443 (air interface) for MDS E transponders
• Automatic detection of different transponder types (RF300, ISO 15693, ISO 14443 [MOBY E,
MIFARE Classic])
• Emulation of MOBY I write/read devices (SLG 4x) in conjunction with RF300 transponders for
simplified migration
• Setup help integrated in the reader
The setup help serves the simple optimization of the reader-transponder positioning during
installation/commissioning. Further installation or software are not necessary. The setup
help becomes active directly after turning the device on.
