Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the relevant information is not taken into account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

Description 2
2.1 Area of application of the RF200 IO-Link reader
SIMATIC RF200 IO-Link is an inductive identification system that is compatible with the ISO
15693 standard and was specially designed for use in industrial production for the control
and optimization of material flow. With the IO-Link communications interface, readers can be
used below the fieldbus level.
SIMATIC RF200 IO-Link is an alternative to SIMATIC RF300 and represents a simple and
cost-effective option for RFID applications.
2.2 IO-Link basics
The system components
IO-Link is a specified point-to-point communications interface for sensors/actuators and
consists of the following system components:
● IO-Link master,
● IO-Link device (e.g. sensors, actuators, RFID readers),
● Unshielded 3-wire standard cable.
The master / the port operating modes
A master has one or more ports and one device can be connected to each port.
The port can basically be set to two different operating modes:
● SIO mode (Standard Input Output mode)
In this mode, the device can be used like a digital input module.
● IO-Link mode (SDCI: Single Drop digital Communication Interface)
In this mode, the master communicates with the device and process data and service
data can be transferred.

2.2 IO-Link basics
SIMATIC RF200 IO-Link
8 System Manual, 03/2012, C79000-G8976-C276-01
The types of communication
During communication at the IO-Link level, the following types of data are distinguished:
● Cyclic process data (input/output data)
The data is always transferred with a previously specified length.
● Acyclic service data (parameters, on-request data)
The data to be written or read is transferred only on request. Since a fixed area is
reserved for this in the communication cycle, the acyclic data transfer does not influence
the transfer of the cyclic process data.
● Events (errors, warnings, notifications)
This works in the same way as with acyclic service data, the only difference being that
the transfer is triggered by the device due to events.
The data types
While the cyclic process data is exchanged via a defined fixed area, the acyclic service data
is selected and addressed using an index or subindex. The indexes available for the RF200
IO-Link reader can be found in the section "Commissioning and parameter assignment
(Page 41)".
To allow system integration, each device type has an IODD file available that contains the
following information:
● Representation of the communications properties
● Representation of accessible device data
● Identification, process and diagnostics data
● Menu layout
● Textual descriptions in various languages
● Image of the device
● Logo of the manufacturer

2.3 Characteristics of the RF200 IO-Link reader
SIMATIC RF200 IO-Link
System Manual, 03/2012, C79000-G8976-C276-01 9
2.3 Characteristics of the RF200 IO-Link reader
The IO-Link reader reads out either the UID or user-specific data of a transponder and maps
this to cyclically updated process data. This data can be read out via the IO-Link master by a
PC or a PLC.
The IO-Link reader has the following characteristics:
● Point-to-point communication, the address of the IO-Link device does not need to be set
● Supports IO-Link according to specification V1.0
● IO-Link baud rate 38.4 Kbaud, cycle time 2.5 ms
● Transfer of service data parallel to process data
● SIO mode (reader indicates the presence of a transponder on the data line (C/Q))
● IODD file for support of parameter assignment, diagnostics and data access.
● System integration (TIA) using Port Configuration Tool (PCT)
● Degree of protection IP67
● RFID 13.56 MHz complying with ISO 15693
2.4 System integration
The readers are IO-Link device modules intended for operation with an IO-Link master.
Depending on the category of the IO-Link master, this can be connected to various
controllers or fieldbus systems.
The number of devices or readers that can be connected to an IO-Link master differs
depending on the master type. The master type and the number of available IO-Link ports
affect the maximum process data length of the master.

Interfacing to the controller
With the readers RF210R, RF220R and RF260R, the connection to the controller is via the
following IO-Link masters from Siemens:
● ET 200eco PN
● ET 200S with 4SI IO-Link master
or via masters of other manufacturers.
