7.2.1 Features

Field of application
The ASM 452 interface module is a MOBY module for operating MOBY and RF300
components with RS 422 over PROFIBUS DP-V1 on
• Any computers and PCs
• Any PLCs
When operating the interface module on a SIMATIC S7, function blocks are made available
to the user.

Figure 7-6 Interface module ASM 452

The ASM 452 is the result of consistent development of the familiar ASM 450/451 interface
modules. Optimal data throughput can be achieved even in large-scale PROFIBUS
configurations thanks to the use of acyclic data traffic on PROFIBUS DP V1. The minimum
cyclic data load of the ASM 452 on the PROFIBUS provides the user with the guarantee that
other PROFIBUS nodes (e.g. DI/DO) can still be processed at great speed.
The ASM 452 is an interface module for communication between PROFIBUS and the
RF310R with RS 422 interface. Through the ASM 452, the data on the RF320T, RF340T,
RF350T and RF360T transponders can be physically addressed ("Normal" addressing). In
SIMATIC S7, FC 45 is available for this purpose.

PROFIBUS configuration
The ASM 452 is integrated into the hardware configuration by means of a GSD file. The
ASM can then be configured using the HW Config of SIMATIC Manager or another
PROFIBUS tool.
A GSD file is provided for ASM 452 on the CD "RFID Systems Software & Documentation".

Operating mode of the ASM 452

The approved operating modes of ASM 452 are described in the GSD file. It is set using the
hardware configuration tool (e.g. STEP 7 HW Config).

Reader connection system

A reader always occupies two M12 connector sockets on the ASM 452.
A pre-assembled cable therefore ensures easy connection of the reader (see figure below).
The connecting cable is available in lengths of 2 m (standard) and 5 m. Extensions are
possible up to 1000 m using connecting cables 6GT2891-… .

7.3.1 Description

Field of application
The ASM 456 interface modules are slave modules for operating RF300 components via the
PROFIBUS DP/DP-V1 on any control systems.

Figure 7-15 Interface module ASM 456 with ECOFAST connection block or M12, 7/8"

When operating the interface module on a SIMATIC S7, convenient function blocks are
made available to the user.

 Communication modules
7.3 ASM 456

Features
The ASM 456 replaces the ASM 452 in terms of functionality and provides a simplified
connection system. You can continue to use the user software from ASM 452. Optimum data
throughput can be achieved through acyclic data traffic on the PROFIBUS DP V1 even when
using large PROFIBUS configurations. The minimum cyclic data load of the ASM 456 on the
PROFIBUS provides the user with the guarantee that other PROFIBUS consumers (e.g.
DI/DO) can still be processed at great speed.
Up to 2 readers can be operated in parallel on the ASM 456. The user can start a command
in parallel on 2 readers (via the corresponding FB/FC).
The transponder data are accessed by means of physical addressing of the reader. In
SIMATIC S7, the FC 45 is available for this purpose. The FC 45 provides the S7 user with a
simple-to-use interface with powerful commands (processing one complete transponder with
one command; command linking; S7 data structures via UDTs).

Other features
• Degree of protection IP67
• System integration with ECOFAST or M12, 7/8" concept
• T functionality, that is, a component can be replaced without adversely affecting other
modules with regard to bus communication and voltage supply
• Standardized PROFIBUS user interface for identification systems with PIB (Proxy Ident
Function Block; with later firmware version).
• Firmware update
• PROFIBUS interface module up to 12 Mbaud with automatic baud rate detection
• Parameterizable device-related diagnostics data with text display
• Support for I&M functionality (a mechanism for reading out information via the module
and saving system information such as function, installation date, installation location,
and comments.)

Note
When connecting up the supply voltage, we recommend that the cable 6XV1 822-5B... (5 x
1.5 mm2 pre-assembled with 7/8" connectors) is used.
If you want to assemble the cable yourself, then the conductor cross-section should be
1.5 mm2.

Maximum cable length

The ASM 456 can be operated with any SLG configuration with a maximum cable length of
50 m.
Longer connecting cables of up to 1000 m are possible in some instances. The current
consumption of the connected reader must however be taken into account. A number of
cables must not be joined together to form a long cable due to the additional contact
resistances.

7.4.1 Features

Field of application
The ASM 473 interface module is an RF300 module for SIMATIC S7. It can be plugged into
the ET 200X distributed I/O station and DESINA. ET 200X is operated by the user over
PROFIBUS DP V1. An S7-300 or S7-400 with integrated PROFIBUS connection can be
used as the controller.
ASM 473 supplements the SIMATIC S7 interface module ASM 475. The IP67 degree of
protection means that it can be installed and operated in the process without the need for an
additional protective housing.
To operate the ASM 473, an ET 200X basic module BM 141/142 with the order number
6ES7141-1BF11-0XB0 or 6ES7142-1BD21-0XB0 or a BM 143 is required.
The transponder data are accessed by means of physical addressing of the transponder.
For operation in a SIMATIC S7, the function FC 45 is available. The hardware of the ASM
473 is configured with an object manager (OM) that is integrated in the SIMATIC Manager.

Figure 7-25 Interface module ASM 473

Other features:
• Up to 7 ASM 473 interface modules can be operated simultaneously in an ET 200X
station.
• Any other I/O modules from the ET 200X spectrum can be operated with the ASM 473.

CD. Currently, the ASM 473 cannot be integrated in masters of other manufacturers.
Reader connection system
A reader always occupies the two M12 connection sockets X3 and X4 on the ASM 473. A
prefabricated cable makes it easy to connect the reader. The standard version of the
connecting cable is 2 m in length. Other cable lengths are available on request.
For customers who want to assemble their own cables, an ASM cable connector with screw-
type terminals is available. Cables and ASM cable connectors can be ordered from the
MOBY catalog.

7.5.1 Features

Field of application
The ASM 475 interface module acting as the link between all RF300 systems and SIMATIC
S7-300 performs the functions of a communication module. It can be operated centrally in
the S7-300 or decentrally in an ET200M.
As many as eight ASM 475 interface modules can be plugged into one SIMATIC S7-300
rack and operated. In a configuration with several racks (max. four), the ASM 475 can be
plugged into and operated on any rack. This means that as many as 32 ASMs can be
operated in the maximum configuration of a SIMATIC S7-300. The ASM can also be
operated in the ET 200M distributed I/O on PROFIBUS. Operation in an S7-400 environment
is therefore problem-free. Up to 7 ASMs can be operated on each ET200M.
Error messages and operating states are indicated by LEDs.
A configuration that is resistant to interference is possible due to electrical isolation between
the read/write device and the SIMATIC S7-300 bus.

Figure 7-31 Interface module ASM 475

The ASM 475 with the order number 6GT2002-0GA10 is a parameterizable module. The
basic functions of the module are then already specified when the module is configured in
HW Config (e.g. standard addressing).
The data in the MDS is accessed direct by means of physical addresses using the ASM 475.
Operation in a SIMATIC S7 is controlled by the function FC 45.
ASM 475 and FC 45 form a unit that is used for reading the data of the MDS easily and at
optimal speed.

8.1 8.1 Overview

Extended diagnostic functions with SIMATIC RF300

With SIMATIC RF300, extended diagnostic functions are available which simplify start-up
and maintenance.
These diagnostic data are accessed using the FC 45 function with the SLG STATUS and
MDS STATUS commands. These two commands can each be called in various modes
(subcommands) for which corresponding data structures (UDTs) are defined.

Command Mode Meaning

(subcommand)
SLG STATUS 01 Hardware and firmware configuration, parameterization status
06 Communication error counter, current command status
MDS STATUS 01 Serial number of the tag (UID), memory configuration
EEPROM write-protection status
02 Serial number of the tag (UID), HF field strength value,
communication error counter, presence counter (duration)

8.2 Reader diagnostics with SLG STATUS

SLG STATUS (mode 06), UDT280

FZP Binary 0 … 255 = Error counter, passive (errors

value during idle time)
ABZ Binary 0 … 255 = Abort counter
value
CFZ Binary 0 … 255 = Code error counter
value
SFZ Binary 0 … 255 = Signature error counter
value
CRCFZ Binary 0 … 255 = CRC error counter
value
BSTAT Binary 0 … 255 = Current command status
value
ASMFZ Binary 0 … 255 = Interface problems to host
value (ASM/PC) parity, BCC, frame error

Note
All counter values are reset after reading (= SLG STATUS command executed).

Explanations:
• "FZP": Counts interference pulses when communication is not taking place with a
transponder. (e.g. EMC interference caused by contactors, motors, etc.). Counter values
can also be generated when a tag is located at the edge of the field even when there is
no external interference.
• "ABZ", "CFZ", "SFZ" and "CRCFZ" are protocol error counters that can be generated
during reader/tag communication. This can be caused by unsuitable reader/tag
positioning (e.g. tag on field boundary, several data carriers in the field) or external
electromagnetic interference.
To ensure clear diagnosis of the quality of communication, it is recommended that an SLG
STATUS command (mode 06) is executed following receipt of the presence command to
reset the error counter.
The protocol error counters are not mutually independent. If a code error (CFZ) occurs, this
will cause a secondary signature (SFZ) or CRC (CRCFZ) error.
• "BSTAT" is the status for the most recently executed command. A value other than 0
means that the previous command was repeated by the reader due to faults (see above).
• "ASMFZ" signals line-conducted communication interference between the communication
module (ASM) and the reader. Faults of this type can be caused by contact problems on
the connector or the cable connection.

8.3 Transponder diagnostics with MDS STATUS

8.3 8.3 Transponder diagnostics with MDS STATUS

The MDS STATUS command can be used to scan the status and diagnostics data of the
transponder that is located within the antenna field.

MDS STATUS (mode 01), UDT260

UID Binary value 0 … 264 -1 = b0-31: 4 byte TAG ID, b32-63: 0

MDS type Binary value 0x01 = Transponder without FRAM
0x02 = Transponder with FRAM 8 KB
0x03 = Transponder with FRAM 32 KB
Lock Binary value 0 … 255 = Content of lock-bit register (EEPROM addr.
status 0xFF18)

MDS STATUS (mode 02), UDT270

LFD Binary value 0 … 255 = Value for field strength

FZP Binary value 0 … 255 = Error counter (passive) ➙ errors during idle
time
FZA Binary value 0 … 255 = Error counter (active)
ANWZ Binary value 0 … 255 = Presence counter

Note
All counter values are reset when the tag exits the field or when the antenna is switched off.

Notes:
• "LFD" is a value for the field strength that is determined in the transponder. The lower the
value, the higher the field strength. A setpoint of < 28 hex signals reliable data transfer.
• "FZP" counts fault pulses when communication with a transponder is not taking place
(e.g. electromagnetic interference caused by contactors, motors, etc.). Counter values
can also be generated when a transponder is located at the edge of the field even when
there is no external interference.
• "FZA" counts errors that can occur during reader-to-transponder communication. This can
be caused by unsuitable reader/transponder positioning (e.g. transponder on field
boundary, several data carriers in the field) or external electromagnetic interference.
• "ANWZ" is the value for the time that the transponder remains in the field before the MDS
STATUS command (mode 02) is executed. A time step is 10 ms. The maximum time that
can be recorded is therefore 2.5 s.

A programmable logical controller (PLC) of the SIMATIC S7 system, comprising a central
controller, a CPU and various I/O modules.

Battery-free data storage unit

Mobile data storage units which operate without batteries. Power is supplied to the data
storage unit across an electromagnetic alternating field.

CE marking
Communauté Européenne (product mark of the European Union)

Communication modules
Communication modules are used to integrate the MOBY identification systems in SIMATIC
or SINUMERIK systems, or to connect them to PROFIBUS, PC or any other system. Once
supplied with the corresponding parameters and data, they handle data communication.
They then make the corresponding results and data available. Suitable software blocks
(FB/FC for SIMATIC; C libraries for PCs with Windows) ensure easy and fast integration in
the application.

Data transmission rate

Unit of measurement for the volume of data transmitted within a unit of time, e.g. bytes/s

Dwell time
The dwell time is the time in which the transponder dwells within the transmission window of
a read/write device. The read/write device can exchange data with the transponder during
this time.

Dynamic mode
In dynamic mode, the data carrier moves past the read/write device at a traversing rate
which depends on the configuration. Various checking mechanisms (listen-in check, CRC,
ECC, etc.) ensure error-free data transfer even under extreme environmental conditions. A
serial connection (up to 1000 m) is used to connect the read/write device directly to an
interface module, PC, or any other system.

Electromagnetic compatibility
Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of an electrical or electronic device to operate
satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment without affecting or interfering with the
environment over and above certain limits.

EMC Directive
Guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility This guideline relates to any electrical or
electronic equipment, plant or system containing electric or electronic components.

Equipotential bonding
Potential differences between different parts of a plant can arise due to the different design
of the plant components and different voltage levels. It is necessary to compensate for these
differences by equipotential bonding: this is done by combining the equipotential bonding
conductors of power components and non-power components on a centralized equalizing
conductor.

ESD Directive
Directive for handling ESDs.

Frequency hopping
Frequency hopping technique Automatic search for free channels.
In frequency hopping, data packets are transferred between the communication partners on
constantly changing carrier frequencies. This makes it possible to react to interference from
devices transmitting signals in the same frequency range. If an attempt to send a data
packet is unsuccessful, the packet can be transmitted again on a different carrier frequency.

Interface modules (ASM)

IQ-Sense interface
Simple interface on the IQ-Sense module, using a standard design for all types of sensors,

Limit distance
The limit distance is the maximum clear distance between the upper surface of the read/write
device and the transponder, at which the transmission can still function under normal
conditions.

Metal-free area
Distance/area which must be maintained between the transponder and metal in order to
prevent interference during data transfer between the transponder and read/write device.

Mobile data storage units (MDS)

See transponder

Multi-tag capability
Multi-tag capability means the ability to use several read/write devices which communicate
simultaneously with different data carriers.

Programmable logic controller (PLC)

The programmable logical controllers (PLCs) of the SIMATIC S5 systems consist of a central
controller, one or more CPUs, and various other modules (e.g. I/O modules).

Read/write devices (SLG)

See readers

Read/write distance
See transmission distance

Readers
Readers ensure fast, secure data transfer between mobile data storage units and higher-
level systems (PLCs, PCs, etc.). The data, energy included, are transmitted inductively
across an electromagnetic alternating field or by radio. This principle enables contact-free
data transmission, ensures high industrial compatibility and works reliably in the presence of
contamination or through non-metallic materials.

RFID systems
SIMATIC RF identification systems control and optimize material flow and production
sequences. They identify reliably, quickly and economically, use non-contact data
communication technology, and store data directly on the product. They are also resistant to

Secondary fields
The strength of the secondary fields, which exist in addition to the transmission window, is
usually lower than that of the transmission window and depends on the metallic environment.
Secondary fields should not be used in configuring.

Static mode
In static mode the transponder is positioned at a fixed distance (maximum: limit distance)
exactly above the read/write device.

Telegram cycles
The transfer of a read or write command takes place in three cycles, known as message
frame cycles. 1 or 2 bytes of user data can be transferred with each command. The
acknowledgement transfer (status or read data) takes place in 3 further cycles.

TPDR
Transponder

Transmission distance
Distance between communication module (read/write device) and transponder (mobile data
storage unit)

Transmission window
Area in which reliable data exchange between transponder and read/write device is possible
due to a particular minimum field strength.

Transponder
An invented word from transmitter and responder. Transponders are used on the product,
the product carrier, the object, or its transport or packaging unit, and contain production and
manufacturing data, i.e. all application-specific data. They follow the product through
assembly lines, transfer and production lines and are used to control material flow.
Because of their wireless design, transponders can be used, if necessary, at individual work
locations or manufacturing stations, where their data can be read and updated.
