    RF 300 system planning 4.1 Fundamentals of application planning 4.1.1 Transmission window and read/write distance The reader generates an inductive alternating field. The field is strongest near to the reader. The strength of the field decreases in proportion to the distance from the reader. The distribution of the field depends on the structure and geometry of the antennas in the reader and transponder.

  • Page 43: Definition

    RF 300 system planning 4.6 EMC Guidelines 4.6.2 Definition The increasing use of electrical and electronic devices is accompanied by: • Increasing density of components • Increasing power electronics • Increasing switching rates • Lower power consumption of components 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.

  • Page 46 RF 300 system planning 4.6 EMC Guidelines Interference sources In order to achieve a high level of electromagnetic compatibility and thus a very low level of disturbance in a plant, it is necessary to recognize the most frequent interference sources. These must then be eliminated by appropriate measures.
  • Page 47 RF 300 system planning 4.6 EMC Guidelines Coupling paths A coupling path has to be present before the disturbance emitted by the interference source can affect the system.

  • Page 48: Cabinet Configuration

    RF 300 system planning 4.6 EMC Guidelines 4.6.5 Cabinet configuration The influence of the user in the configuration of an electromagnetically compatible plant encompasses cabinet configuration, cable installation, ground connections and correct shielding of cables. Note For information about electromagnetically compatible cabinet configuration, please consult the installation guidelines for SIMATIC PLCs.
  • Page 49 RF 300 system planning 4.6 EMC Guidelines Prevention of interference by optimum configuration Good interference suppression can be achieved by installing SIMATIC PLCs on conducting mounting plates (unpainted). When setting up the control cabinet, interference can be prevented easily by observing certain guidelines. Power components (transformers, drive units, load power supply units) should be arranged separately from the control components (relay control unit, SIMATIC S7).
  • Page 50 RF 300 system planning 4.6 EMC Guidelines Filtering of the supply voltage External interference from the mains can be prevented by installing line filters. Correct installation is extremely important, in addition to appropriate dimensioning. It is essential that the line filter is mounted directly at the cabinet inlet. As a result, interference is filtered promptly at the inlet, and is not conducted through the cabinet.
