Communication
modules
A communication module (interface module) is used to integrate the RF identification system in
PLC/automation systems.
Reader The reader (read/write device) ensures inductive communication, supplies power to the transponder,
and handles the connection to the various PLCs (e.g. SIMATIC S7) through the communication module
(e.g. ASM 475).
Transponder The transponder (data memory) stores all data relevant to the production process and is used, for
example, instead of barcode.
Conventions
The RF310R and RF340R readers are equipped with an integral antenna, whereas the
RF350R reader is operated over an external antenna. In this system manual, the term
"Reader" is used throughout even where it is actually referring to the antenna of the reader.
