SIMATIC RF600 system. The various antenna and cable parameters are explained, and information is provided on the criteria you must particularly observe. Otherwise this chapter is equally suitable for theoretical and practice-oriented users.
General application planning Overview of the total SIMATIC RF600 system and its influencing factors The following graphic shows the design of the total SIMATIC RF600 system and the factors which have an influence on the total system. You must be aware of these influencing factors and also consider them if you wish to integrate third-party components such as antennas or cables into the system.
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 58) or section Antenna cables (Page 69) 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.
Approximate calculations are easier to carry out as additions than as products, therefore the logarithms are taken for the above equations and the power data standardized to 1 mW and specified in decibels (dBm or dBi). SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, xx/2014, J31069-D0171-U001-A15-7618...

P1 and P2 of the same type. This ratio is defined by the following equation: Example If P1 = 200 W and P2 = 100 mW, how large is the ratio a in dB? SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, xx/2014, J31069-D0171-U001-A15-7618...
4 W EIRP will not be reached. ● If the gain is > 6 dBi(L)*, the difference is compensated in accordance with the directives by reducing the transmitted power. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, xx/2014, J31069-D0171-U001-A15-7618...
Since the impedance at the antenna connection is frequency-dependent, mismatching automatically occurs with broadband use. This mismatching can be reflected by two parameters: ● The voltage standing wave ratio VSWR ● The return loss SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, xx/2014, J31069-D0171-U001-A15-7618...

Specifications UHF transponders usually have a receive characteristic similar to that of a dipole antenna which is linearly polarized. Horizontal or vertical polarization is then present depending on the transponder mounting. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, xx/2014, J31069-D0171-U001-A15-7618...

100%. ● Increasing the number of antennas to 3 or 4: More antennas in a suitable antenna configuration can prevent gaps in reader coverage. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, xx/2014, J31069-D0171-U001-A15-7618...
This also concerns the external components of the RF600 system. Even though the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility have been specified, various components will still interfere with each other. The performance of the RF600 system is highly dependent on the electromagnetic environment of the antennas. SIMATIC RF600 System Manual, xx/2014, J31069-D0171-U001-A15-7618...

This technique is intended to prevent mutual interference between readers. The reader changes its transmission channel in a random or programmed sequence (FHSS). 50 available channels mean that the probability is low that two readers will be operating on the same frequency.

The higher the degree of automation, the greater the risk of interaction between devices. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of an electrical or electronic device to operate satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment without affecting or interfering with the environment over and above certain limits.
