RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4 4 .10.2 What does EMC mean? The increasing use of electrical and electronic devices is accompanied by: Higher component density More switched power electronics Increasing switching rates Lower power consumption of components due to steeper switching edges The higher the degree of automation, the greater the risk of interaction between devices.
Page 99: Basic Rules
RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 4 4 .10.3 Basic rules It is often sufficient to follow a few elementary rules in order to ensure electromagnetic compatiblity (EMC). The following rules must be observed: Shielding by enclosure Protect the device against external interference by installing it in a cabinet or housing.
Page 100: Propagation Of Electromagnetic Interference
RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Feed the connected shield through to the module without interruption. Use braided shields, not foil shields. L L ine and signal filter Use only line filters with metal housings Connect the filter housing to the cabinet chassis using a large-area low-HF-impedance connection.
Page 101 RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) I I nterference sources In order to achieve a high level of electromagnetic compatibility and thus a very low level of disturbance in a plant, it is necessary to recognize the most frequent interference sources. These must then be eliminated by appropriate measures.

Erect suitable damping materials between the antennas. Reduce the power of the readers.
Page 103: Cable Shielding
RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) The better the equipotential bonding in a plant, the smaller the chance of interference due to fluctuations in potential. Equipotential bonding should not be confused with protective earthing of a plant. Protective earthing prevents the occurrence of excessive contact voltages in the event of equipment faults whereas equipotential bonding prevents the occurrence of differences in potential.
Page 104 RF600 system planning 4.10 Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Figure 4-22 Connection of shielding bus The shielding bus must be connected to the PE busbar. If shielded cables have to be interrupted, the shield must be continued via the corresponding connector housing.

Page 247 Antennas 6.2 SIMATIC RF615A 6 6 .2.6.4 Interpretation of directional radiation patterns The following overview table will help you with the interpretation of directional radiation patterns. The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with regard to a transponder.
