Figure 4-2 Scenario: Intralogistics (separator)
In this example scenario, items must be distributed to the correct storage location in a
transport container via a separator. The transponders attached to the transport containers
are always evenly aligned. The transponders in this scenario are transponders of the type
SIMATIC RF630L. The conveyor belt has a maximum width of approximately 80 cm in this
example. The maximum transport speed of the conveyor belt is 2 m/s.
In this scenario, a SIMATIC RF615A with a SIMATIC RF615A external antenna is used as
the reader. With the RF615R, a reader combining multiple advantages is used. In addition to
its compact design, this low-cost reader is also characterized by low cabling requirements.
When a transport container passes the light barrier
③, the reader reads the information from
the transponder on the transport containers and forwards it to the SIMATIC S7 controller.
The SIMATIC S7 controls the separator
④ of the conveyor system depending on the
transponder information.
The SIMATIC RF650M mobile reader is used in this example for additional evaluation and
visualization of the article data directly on site.
