Link your products to the digital world. From manufacturing to logistics, RF100C communication modules allow seamless connection of SIMATIC Ident systems to SIMATIC controllers, PC-based systems or third-party controllers. Enjoy highly efficient integration for all your requirements, with the best diagnostic features and a reliable data transmission system.
Highlights of the SIMATIC RF100C generation
- As components in the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) framework, Siemens communication modules are efficiently and easily integrated into SIMATIC systems as RFID interfaces, regardless of the RFID or code-reading system in use or whether a SIMATIC controller, industrial PC or controller from another manufacturer is used.
- Standard function blocks integrated into the TIA Portal ensure immediate operation of existing Ident applications, even if switching readers.
- The RF100C system supports multiple fieldbuses and other protocols (PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA or XML). It also allows direct data transmission to the cloud and a permanently online connection.
