Overview
SIMATIC RF670R is a high-performance RFID reader with four
antenna connections which can be configured as required for
individual read stations, detecting at conveyor systems, or as
gates. The high transmit power of up to 2 W ERP / 4 W EIRP
(dependent on antenna and cable) permits large ranges of up to
10 m in gate applications. The high degree of protection of the
overall system is a guarantee for problem-free use, even under
the most difficult environmental conditions.
Due to the monostatic antenna principle, as many as four inde-
pendent read stations can be implemented. All antennas of the
RF600 series are supported (SIMATIC RF620A, RF640A,
RF642A, RF660A). The reader offers 4 digital inputs (24 V) and
4 digital outputs (typ. 24 V/0.5 A) that have protection circuits for
industrial use.
The integrated processing logic of the reader enables numerous
functions of the higher-level software layers to be executed in the
device itself. For example, the reader offers extensive, intelligent
filter functions, a parameterizable state machine for forwarding
the data, the automatic control of the digital outputs for signaling
functions, and the extensive configuration of response message
frames. The advantage: Thanks to its intelligence, this consider-
ably reduces the cost for additional software modules (RFID
middleware). The reader is configured by means of the easy-to-
use SIMATIC RF-MANAGER Basic software, which is provided
on a free CD supplied with each reader.
Data communication for the RF670R is performed by means of
an XML protocol with TCP/IP; the reader provides an Ethernet
interface for this purpose.
■
Application
With up to four antennas, the stationary SIMATIC RF670R UHF
portal reader is suitable for applications in production (with
PC/IT interface), production-level logistics, distribution, supply
chain management, asset management, service processes, or
material flow control.
The digital inputs and outputs (DI/DO) are used for simple
process interfacing (sensors, actuators).
The SIMATIC RF670R supports the established EPCglobal
Class 1, Gen 2 standard and is offered in three versions:
compliant with ETSI for Europe, compliant with FCC for USA/
Canada, and compliant with CMIIT for China.
