UHF readers for production and logistics

Siemens launches a generation of RFID readers in the UHF frequency band, composed of three devices with different functional and performance classes, which allow users to implement RFID projects more quickly, reducing downtime.

Thanks to the high degree of IP65 protection and the integrated Profinet connection, Simatic RF680R and RF685R can also be used in manufacturing environments. Equipped with four interfaces for external antennas, they are also effective with RFID portals or different reading stations. In particular, the RF685R reader has a variable polarization adaptive antenna, which simplifies commissioning and engineering of the RFID applications in production areas. The automatic antenna adjustments improves reading and writing reliabililty; Furthermore, the RF685R can perform difficult identification tasks in highly reflective areas.
Other features worth mentioning: wireless module, a high performance and evaluation algorithms that increase the reading and writing reliability, even of moving objects; possibility of integration into the network via Ethernet, TCP/IP  and XML protocol; a Profinet port to connect to a controller; simplified programming with immediate integration into the user program; numerous diagnostic options, even with the system running.
