Overview
SIMATIC RF180C / RF182C and RFID 181EIP are communi-
cation modules for direct connection of SIMATIC identification
systems to PROFINET IO/Ethernet and Ethernet/IP. The readers
(SLGs) of the RFID systems MOBY D/U, SIMATIC RF200 /
RF300 / RF600 as well as the MV400 code reading systems
(RF180C and RFID 181EIP only) can be operated on the
communication modules.
Due to their high degree of protection and ruggedness, the
SIMATIC RF180C / RF182C and RFID 181EIP are ideally suitable
for use at the machine level. The uniform plug-in connection
system ensures rapid commissioning.

Benefits
•
Two parallel reader channels ensure real-time mode at
dynamic read points.
•
Reader connection using an 8-pin M12 connector for fast
installation of all components.
•
Different connection systems to suit any application:
- M12, 7/8", the well-proven round connectors.
- Push-pull connectors for quick assembly with RJ45 data
connectors and 24 V connectors.
•
Easy changeover from PROFIBUS applications to PROFINET
with SIMATIC RF180C thanks to software compatibility.
•
The integrated switch allows several PROFINET/Ethernet
modules to be installed in a star or bus topology. Each appli-
cation can then be set up quickly and inexpensively.
•
Powerful hardware ensures rapid data communication with
the reader (SLG). Consequently, data is available for the appli-
cation even faster.
•
Simple firmware downloading in the case of function expan-
sions and error rectification ensures high availability of the
identification system.
•
Adjustable and parameterizable identification-system-
specific diagnostics facilitate easy commissioning and
troubleshooting.
•
A broad selection of pre-assembled connecting cables can
be ordered for connecting PROFINET/Ethernet and readers to
SIMATIC RF180C/RF182C. This saves time and money during
installation and assures better quality.
■
Application
The Ethernet-based communication modules have been
specially designed for a wide range of applications in industrial
automation and logistics. Due to their high IP67 degree of pro-
tection, the SIMATIC RF180C/RF182C and RFID 181EIP can be
installed in the process outside the control cabinet.
Main applications for SIMATIC RF180C/RF182C and
RFID 181EIP:
•
Mechanical engineering, automation systems, conveyor
systems
•
Ancillary assembly lines in the automotive industry / suppliers
•
Small assembly lines
