SIMATIC RF200 | Example applications Benefits for the entire value chain Market dynamics of a kind never before experienced, with growing demands in terms of transparency, traceability, etc., mean companies must continuously optimize their efficiency at every point along the value chain. The use of innovative identification systems like SIMATIC RF200 can make a vital contribution here, as the following specific examples drawn from practice will show.

Example applications | SIMATIC RF200 Task • Controlling workpiece carriers in production • Centrally storing key production and quality data directly on the workpiece carrier • Dynamic reading and writing • Compact assembly Solution • Workpiece carrier fitted with ISO transponders e.g. MDS D424 with 2 KB memory size • Installation of RF200 readers (e.g. RF210R) along the production line • Directing the workpiece to the correct processing center prior to every processing step • Verification of correctness of the assembly after every processing step - results of each process are written on...

SIMATIC RF200 | Example applications Task • Complete transparency for inventory and tool location while systems are in operation • Fast and error-free tool data management • Maximum productivity and quality by ensuring rapid and error-free tool changes • Ideal use of downtimes Solution • SIMATIC RF210R or RF250R with ANT 12 and MDS D117/D127/D421/ D521 transponders • Tool passes by the RFID antenna • Tool data stored on transponder automatically recorded and transmitted to CNC control • Mobile handheld terminal is used to ensure correct loading of tool trolley Benefits • Rapid and reliable...

Example applications | SIMATIC RF200 • Completed work steps imported into databases • Track & Trace data gathered, documented, and archived • Necessary work steps are controlled using the identification number (UID) • Cost-efficient integration of a large number of read points • High demands in terms of heat resistance SIMATIC RF200 IO-Link reader with MDS D160 transponder Read points with SIMATIC RF210R to supply the identification number (UID) to control working steps Production data (OK/not OK, screw parameters, etc.) is immediately written into database High-temperature transponders...

Maximum integration efficiency The comprehensive integration concept enables SIMATIC RF200 readers to be connected quickly and efficiently to the control and communications level. Commissioning and error diagnostics could not be any easier as a result. The same applies to integration into communication networks like PROFIBUS, PROFINET, Ethernet, Ethernet/IP, TCP/IP, and in PC environments or IO-Link. Highlights • Different connector designs (M12, RJ45, Push Pull or ECOFAST) enable flexible connection to different applications • Comprehensive diagnostic functions – for rapid error detection...

IO-Link: transparency down to the lowest field level The top priority in industry is to reduce costs, increase machine and plant availability, and ensure maximum quality. One key factor: uninterrupted transparency, down to the last meter. This is precisely what IO-Link is for, an open communication standard that can be integrated in all common fieldbus and automation systems. Much more than just another interface ET 200SP with IO-Link Master RFID Middleware IO-Link connects actuators, sensors and other field devices practically and uniformly with the control level, using a simple...
