1.3  Overview 
MOBY D is an RF identification system based on the ISO/IEC 15693 standard in the 
13.56 MHz range. ISO/IEC 15693 creates a common basis for tags and Smartlabels from 
different manufacturers for the first time. 
Application areas typically encompass the following: 
●  Replacement for electronic barcode 
●  Supplement to barcode or delivery note in harsh environments 
●  Warehouse and distribution logistics 
●  Product identification 
MOBY D can be directly connected to a PC with Windows 9x Professional, 2000 
Professional und NT Professional over a serial (RS 232) interface and is supported by a 
powerful C library. 
It is integrated into SIMATIC S7 and PROFIBUS DP-V1 using the well-proven MOBY 
interface modules 
●  ASM 452 
●  ASM 456 
●  ASM 473 
●  ASM 475 
●  SIMATIC RF170C 
●  SIMATIC RF180C 
●  SIMATIC RF182C 
An easy-to-operate interface is available to the S7 user. 
With the MOBY D write/read device, the standardized, low-cost write/read transponders 
(Smartlabels based on ISO/IEC 15693) are processed at distances of up to 650 mm 
(depending on the size of transponder and antenna).
