It operates based on the UHF Class 1 Gen 2 technology and is used to save the "Electronic Product Code" (EPC) of 96 bits/240 bits. The transponder also has a 512-bit user memory. These transponders with limited service life are ideally suited to high-temperature applications (e.g. the painting of vehicle bodies) as well as applications in production logistics. The RF680T is rugged and suitable for industrial applications with IP68/IPX9K degree of protection. It is highly resistant to oil, grease and cleaning agents. The SIMATIC RF680T is mounted directly onto metal and non-metal carrier plates to ensure optimal operation and has a typical detection range of 4 m. SIMATIC RF680T transponder Features Application Applications with high temperatures (up to +220 °C) Typical application areas: • Paint shops and their preparatory treatments, incl. drying ovens • Electrophoretic deposition area • Primer coat incl. drying oven • Top coat area incl. drying oven • Washing areas at temperatures > 85 °C Frequency range 865 ... 928 MHz (ETSI and FCC) Air interface according to ISO°18000-6C Polarization Linear Temperature range up to 220 °C Memory EPC 96 bit/240 bit Add-on-memory 64 bytes typically 3 m in conjunction with: • RF640R/RF670R reader and • RF660A antenna typically 3.6 m in conjunction with: • RF640R with integrated antenna Reading / writing range Typically 1.4 m/2 m in connection with: • RF620R/RF630R reader and • RF660A antenna

Within this sensing range, data can be read from the tag or written to the tag. Active surface See active field See active field Active surface See active field See active field Active tag/transponder Active transponders are battery-operated, i.e. they obtain the energy required to save data on the microchip from a built-in battery. They are usually in an idle state and do not transmit data in order to increase the energy source's service life. The transmitter is only activated when it receives a special activation signal. AM Amplitude modulation; data are present in the changes in carrier frequency amplitude. Amplitude modulation See AM AS See Automation system ASM Interface module, see Communication modules Automation system (AS) A programmable logical controller (PLC) of the SIMATIC S7 system, comprising a central controller, a CPU and various I/O modules.

Typical units are bits per second or bytes per second.
Glossary SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, 05/2012, J31069-D0171-U001-A13-7618 409 Data transfer rate Number of characters which can be transmitted from a tag to a reader within a defined time. Baud rates are also used to specify how fast a reader can read information. Data transmission rate Unit of measurement for the volume of data transmitted within a unit of time, e.g. bytes/s, see also Baud dB See Decibel dBm Dimensional unit for the transmitted power in the logarithmic relation to 1 mW (Milliwatt). 0dBm = 1mW, +23dBm = 200mW, +30dBm = 1W. dBr dB(relative); a relative difference to a reference value Decibel (dB) Unit of measurement for the logarithmic relationship between two variables. Dense Reader Mode (DRM) In this mode, tag readability is increased through the application of interference-reducing measures. DRM is only defined for Gen 2 and does not function with other tag types. Detuning UHF antennas are tuned to receive a particular electromagnetic wavelength from the reader. If the antenna is too close to metal or a metallic material, it can be detuned, making the performance deteriorate. Distant field communication RFID antennas emit electromagnetic waves. If a tag is more than a full wavelength away from the reader's transmitting antenna, it is in a "distant field". If it is within a full wavelength, this is known as the "near field". The wavelength of UHF-RFID systems is approx. 33 cm.

Passive RFID systems based on distant field communication (UHF and microwave systems) have a greater read range than systems based on near field communication (typically low-frequency and high-frequency systems). Dwell time The dwell time is the time in which the transponder dwells within the sensing range of a reader. The reader can exchange data with the transponder during this time. Dynamic mode In dynamic mode, the data carrier moves past the reader at a traversing rate which depends on the configuration. Various checking mechanisms ensure error-free data transfer even under extreme environmental conditions. EAN European article number. Standardized barcode used in Europe, Asia and South America.

FM Frequency modulation; data are present in the changes in the frequency of the carrier frequency. Frequency hopping Frequency hopping technique Automatic search for free channels. In frequency hopping, data packets are transferred between the communication partners on constantly changing carrier frequencies. This makes it possible to react to interference from devices transmitting signals in the same frequency range (channel). If an attempt to send a data packet is unsuccessful, the packet can be transmitted again on a different carrier frequency. By default the RF600 uses this procedure (FCC) only in the USA and Canada.

There are various subdefinitions of this standard for the various approved frequency ranges for RFID. For example, the range 865 ... 868 MHz is described in ISO 18000-6. LAN Local Area Network LBT Listen Before Talk; the reader only transmits when the channel is free. License plate 10-digit code that is saved on every RFID tag. The code of the license plate establishes a connection between the item of baggage and the baggage processing system of the airport. As soon as the license plate has been read by the reader, a message is automatically sent to the baggage processing system. This message contains important data regarding the flight and destination of the item of baggage. Using this data, the item of baggage can be successfully sorted by the baggage processing system of the airport. Limit distance The limit distance is the maximum clear distance between reader antenna and transponder at which the transmission can still function under normal conditions. Mass recording The capability of a reader to record several or many transponders quasi-simultaneously and to read the code. Contrary to the multi-tag capability, the reader is not able to specifically address individual tags. MDS Mobile data memory, see Transponder.

Mobile Data Memory (MDS) Mobile data memory, see Transponder Modulation Modulation is a procedure with which one or more characteristics (e.g. phase, amplitude, frequency) of a carrier oscillation are modified according to the response of a modulating oscillation. Multi-tag capability Multi-tag capability means that a reader can communicate simultaneously with different data carriers. Therefore the reader can specifically address a transponder with its UID (see also mass recording). Near field communication RFID antennas emit electromagnetic waves. If a tag is more than a full wavelength away from the reader's transmitting antenna, it is in a "distant field". If it is within a full wavelength, this is known as the "near field". The wavelength of UHF-RFID systems is approx. 33 cm. The distant field signal is attenuated with the square of the distance from the antenna, whereas the near field signal is attenuated with the cube of the distance from the antenna. Passive RFID systems based on near field communication (typically low-frequency and high-frequency systems) have a greater read range than systems based on distant field communication (typically UHF and microwave systems). Passive tag If electromagnetic waves from the reader reach the tag antenna, the energy is converted by the antenna into electricity which provides the tag chip with current. The tag is able to return information stored on the chip. Passive tags do not usually have a battery. A battery is required if the tag has a RAM, but the battery is only used to save information in the RAM. In particular, the battery is not used for data exchange between reader and transponder.

Read rate Number of tags which can be read within a defined time. The read rate can also be used for the maximum rate at which data can be read from a tag. The unit is bits per second or bytes per second. Reader (also interrogator) Readers transfer data between mobile data memories (transponders) and the higher-level systems. The data, including the energy required for processing and sending back, are transmitted to the transponder across an electromagnetic alternating field. This principle enables contact-free data transmission, ensures high industrial compatibility and works reliably in the presence of contamination or through non-metallic materials. Reader talks first A passive tag communicates in the read field of a reader with the reader. The reader sends energy to the tags which only reply when they are explicitly requested. The reader is able to find tags with a specific serial number commencing with either 1 or 0. If more than one tag responds, the reader can scan all tags commencing with 01 and subsequently with 010. This is referred to as "walking" on a binary tree, or "tree walking". Reading range The distance within which a reader can communicate with a tag. Active tags can cover a greater distance than passive tags because they use a battery to send signals.

RFID Radio Frequency Identification; a method of identifying items using electromagnetic waves. The reader supplies energy to the tag and communicates with it. RFID systems SIMATIC RF identification systems control and optimize material flow and production sequences. They identify reliably, quickly and economically, use non-contact data communication technology, and store data directly on the product. They are also resistant to contamination. RH circular Right hand circular polarization RSSI threshold value The "Received Signal Strength Indication" (RSSI) is an indicator of the receive field strength of the transponders. When the field strength with which the transponder is received undershoots the set RSSI threshold, the reader ignores the signal of this transponder. The RSSI threshold value can be activated to limit areas of the antenna fields to those in which transponders should still be accessed. This can be used to avoid undesirable effects, such as range overshoot when reading transponder data. RTNC Connector designation (Reverse TNC). Industrial coaxial connector with screw coupling, can be used for frequencies of up to 2 GHz. The mechanical design of the RTNC connector is not compatible with the TNC connector.

These secondary fields are usually smaller than the main fields. The shape and characteristics of the secondary field depend on the metallic objects in the surroundings. Secondary fields should not be used in configuring. SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage Sensing range Area in which reliable data exchange between transponder and reader is possible due to a particular minimum field strength. SSB Single Sideband Modulation. SSB is similar to AM (amplitude modulation), however, only one sideband is sent instead of two sidebands. This saves 50% of the spectrum required in the HF channel without affecting the signal/data rate. For RFID applications, an HF carrier must also be sent to supply energy to the tag. Sending a carrier is many times not required for other SSB applications, since the HF carrier itself does not contain any data. Static mode In static mode the transponder is positioned at a fixed distance (maximum: limit distance) exactly above the reader. Tag See transponder Tag talks first A passive tag communicates in the read field of a reader with the reader.

When a tag reaches the field of a reader, it immediately indicates its presence by reflecting a signal. Transmission of a read or write command is implemented in three cycles. They are called "Telegram cycles". One or two bytes of user data can be transferred with each command. The acknowledgment or response transfer (status or read data) takes place in three further cycles. TNC Connector designation (Threaded Neill Concelman). Industrial coaxial connector with screw coupling, can be used for frequencies of up to 2 GHz. Transceiver (transmitter/receiver) Combination of transmitter and receiver. A unit which can both send and receive electromagnetic waves. Transmission distance Distance between communication module and transponder Transponder An invented word from transmitter and responder. Transponders are used on the product, the product carrier, the object, or its transport or packaging unit, and contain production and manufacturing data, i.e. all application-specific data. They follow the product through assembly lines, transfer and production lines and are used to control material flow. Because of their wireless design, transponders can be used, if necessary, at individual work locations or manufacturing stations, where their data can be read and updated.
