System overview RF System SIMATIC RF600 SIMATIC RF600 is an identification system that operates in the UHF range. UHF technology supports large write/read distances with passive tags. The SIMATIC RF670R reader and RF660R reader (write/read devices), fitted for example on the gate of a warehouse, automatically record every movement of goods, and signal these to the host systems.
System overview 3.1 RF System SIMATIC RF600 Figure 3-1 System overview of SIMATIC RF600 ● Acquisition level This level contains the RFID readers that read the appropriate tag data and transfer them to the next highest level. ● Control level At the control level , the RFID data are collected, preprocessed and presented to the production control and business administration control levels for further processing.
System overview 3.1 RF System SIMATIC RF600 ● Production control The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) closes the gap between the data that arise in the automation environment (control level) and the logistical and commercial processes of the company (business administration control). MES solutions are used, for example, for defining and performing production processes.
System overview 3.1 RF System SIMATIC RF600 RF600 products Description The RF620R reader creates with its connection to a SIMATIC controller optimum preconditions for production-related application scenarios and/or production-related logistics applications by RFID.

A special operating mode for Gen 2 tags enables several RF600 readers to be operated without interference in close proximity to each other. This applies to all RF600 readers: RF670R, RF660R, RF630R and RF620R. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2010, J31069-D0171-U001-A10-7618 Draft Version 02.06.2010...
Antenna alignment and distances The minimum distance required between antennas that use the same frequency and that are connected to different readers depends on the maximum radiated power set (RF670R with SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2010, J31069-D0171-U001-A10-7618 Draft Version 02.06.2010...
In addition, the transmitter power of the readers can be reduced down to the minimum at which the tags are still just detected accurately. This greatly reduces the probability of interference. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 06/2010, J31069-D0171-U001-A10-7618 Draft Version 02.06.2010...
The electrical opening angles (vertical and horizontal) of the RF660A antenna are identical. Therefore, the robustness of the readers' access to transponder data cannot be optimized further by rotating them around the antenna axis.

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 185) or Section Antenna cables (Page 196) for the important criteria for selection of your components.
Types of antenna and properties Basically all types of directional antennas can be considered as third-party antennas for integration into the SIMATIC RF600 system. Directional antennas have a preferred direction in which more energy is radiated than in other directions.
