The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with regard to a transponder. The dBr values correspond to the difference between the maximum dBi value and a second dBi value. Deviation from maximum antenna gain [dBr] Read/write range [%] 0 100 -3 70 -6 50 -9 35 -12 25 -15 18 -18 13 Example As can be seen in Directional radiation pattern in the ETSI frequency band (Page 308), the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal plane is 6 dBi. In this plane and with the parallel polarization axis at +70° or 300°, the antenna gain dropped to about 0 dBi. Therefore the dBr value is 6. The antenna range is only 70° of the maximum range at + 50° or +300° from the Z axis within the horizontal plane (see values shown in red in the directional radiation pattern: Characteristic of the vertical plane of the antenna (Page 307) and the associated representation of the reference system (Page 307)).

The principle of operation of a passive RFID transponder is as follows: ● Diversion of some of the high-frequency energy emitted by the reader to supply power to the integral chip ● Commands received from reader ● Responses are transmitted to the reader antenna by modulating the reflected radio waves (backscatter technique) Figure 7-1 Mode of operation of transponders The transmission ranges achieved vary in accordance with the size of the tag and the corresponding dipole antenna. In general the following rule applies: The smaller the tag and therefore the antenna, the shorter the range.

The aim of the section is to help you achieve the maximum ranges listed here in a typical electromagnetic environment. One of the main focuses of the section is the effect of the mounting surface of the transponder on the write/read distance. As the requirements for achieving the maximum distances specified here, note the following points: ● Operate the readers with the maximum possible and permitted transmit power. ● With external antennas, the antenna cable 6GT2815-0BH30 with a length of 3 m and 1 dB cable loss is used. ● The alignment of the transponder and antenna needs to be optimum (see section "Configurations of antenna and transponder (Page 344)"). ● The optimum mounting surface for the transponder has been selected (see section "Effects of the materials of the mounting surfaces on the range (Page 346)") ● The maximum range shown in the section "Maximum read/write ranges of transponders (Page 347)" applies only to read operations. With write operations, the range is reduced as described in the section. ● Effects that reduce read/write ranges have been avoided (see section "Antenna configurations (Page 43)"). 7.1.5.1 Configurations of antenna and transponder Below, you will find several possible antenna-transponder configurations that are necessary to achieve the maximum range. With the RF620A and RF642A antennas, the polarization axes of the antenna and of the transponder must be aligned parallel to each other. Note Reduction of the maximum read/write range when using RF620A or RF642A antennas If the alignment of the polarization axes between the RF620A or RF642A antennas and transponders is not parallel, this reduces the read/write range. The reduction in the range depends on the angular deviation between the polarization axes of the RF620A or RF642A antenna and the polarization axis of the transponder. You will find further details in the section "Alignment of transponders to the antenna (Page 254)" or "Alignment of transponders to the antenna (Page 300)".

In contrast to this, the antenna gain of the RF620A antenna and therefore the maximum read/write range of transponders does depend on the mounting surface of the antenna. To achieve the maximum range with an RF620A antenna, the antenna needs to be mounted on a metallic surface of at least 150 x 150 mm.

The specified ranges apply when mounted on non-metallic surfaces, such as paper or card, with the RF625T, RF630T and RF640T when mounted on metal. Mounting on plastic can reduce the maximum read/write range considerably depending on the type of plastic (up to 70%). When mounted on wood, the range is furhter reduced the more moisture the wood contains. Due to the attenuating properties of glass, direct mounting without a spacer can halve the range. If the RF625T, RF630T, RF640T or RF680T transponders are mounted on metal, this metallic surface acts as a reflection surface. This surface should therefore be adequately large. To achieve the listed maximum ranges, transponders must be mounted on a metallic mounting surface with a minimum diameter of 150 mm, for the RF630T and RF680T 300 mm. If the metallic mounting surface only has a diameter of 65 mm instead of the required 150 mm, the range is reduced by 65%. 7.1.5.3 Maximum read/write ranges of transponders Maximum read ranges Table 7- 1 Read ranges of transponders at a room temperature of +25 °C (all ranges in m) SIMATIC RF630L 6GT2810-2AB00, 6GT2810-2AB01, 6GT2810-2AB02-0AX0 SIMATIC RF630L 6GT2810-2AB03 SIMATIC RF680L SIMATIC RF610T SIMATIC RF620T 1) SIMATIC RF620R with internal antenna 5 3 2.5 3 5 SIMATIC RF630R with RF620A 1.6 1 0.8 1 1.6 with RF640A 4.5 2.8 2.2 2.8 4.5 with RF642A 5.5 3.5 2.8 3.5 5.5 with RF660A 6 4 3 4 6 SIMATIC RF640R with internal antenna 7 4 3.5 4.5 7 with RF620A 2.2 1.4 1.1 1.4 2.2 with RF640A 6 4 3.1 4 6 with RF642A 8 5 4 5 8 with RF660A 8 5 4 5 8 SIMATIC RF650R with RF620A with RF640A with RF642A with RF660A

Countermeasures: • with FB 55: Increase the value in multitag or decrease the number of transponders in the field. • with FB 55 (with MOBY_mode = 7): There is one or more transponder in the antenna field for which the content of the "FF00 – FF03" addresses of the EPC-ID does not match (uniqueness when accessing transponders using a UID with the length of 8 bytes). • Power supply of the transponder in the limit range: Due to short-term power shortage, a transponder loses its communication status (session) and the identical EPC-ID is sent a second time as soon as power is above the limit value again. Increase the reader's radiated power and/or reduce the distance between antenna and transponder until this effect no longer occurs.

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.

Power is supplied to the data storage unit across an electromagnetic alternating field. Baud Unit (digits per second). Baud rate The baud rate describes the data transmission's digit rate. Byte A group of eight bits CE guidelines See CE Label CE Label Communauté Européenne (product mark of the European Union) Communication modules Communication modules are used to integrate the identification systems in SIMATIC or SINUMERIK systems, or to connect them to PROFIBUS, PROFINET, PC or any other system. Once supplied with the corresponding parameters and data, they handle data communication. They then make the corresponding results and data available. Suitable software blocks (FB/FC for SIMATIC; C libraries for PCs with Windows) ensure easy and fast integration in the application. Continuous Wave See CW CW Continuous Wave; data are present in the carrier frequency which is switched on and off. Data rate The rate at which data are exchanged between the tag and reader. Typical units are bits per second or bytes per second.
Glossary SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, xx/2014, J31069-D0171-U001-A15-7618 509 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. 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.
Glossary SIMATIC RF600 510 System Manual, xx/2014, J31069-D0171-U001-A15-7618 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. MES Manufacturing Execution System
Glossary SIMATIC RF600 514 System Manual, xx/2014, J31069-D0171-U001-A15-7618 Metal-free area Distance/area which must be maintained between the transponder and metal in order to prevent interference during data transfer between the transponder and reader. 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. Passive tag/transponder A tag without its own power supply. Passive transponders obtain the energy required to supply the microchips from the radio waves they receive.

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. Reciprocity Reciprocity means that a two-way relationship exists between the transmit and receive case of a passive antenna.
Glossary SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, xx/2014, J31069-D0171-U001-A15-7618 517 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. RTTE Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment SCM Supply Chain Management Secondary fields In addition to the main sensing range (antenna's main direction of transmission) there are secondary fields. 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.
Glossary SIMATIC RF600 518 System Manual, xx/2014, J31069-D0171-U001-A15-7618 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. TARI Abbreviation of Type A Reference Interval. Duration (period) for representation of a bit with content 0. TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Telegram cycles 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.

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. Tree walking See Reader talks first. UHF Ultra-high frequency; frequency range from 300 MHz to 3 GHz. UHF RFID tags usually operate between 866 MHz and 960 MHz. This corresponds to a wavelength of approx. 33 cm. UID User IDentifier; the UID is an unambiguous number in the transponder, assigned by the manufacturer. The UID is unambiguous, and can usually also be used as a fixed code. The UID is used to specifically address a transponder Ultra High Frequency See UHF. User IDentifier See UID
