Properties of the communications modules
Area of application
The SIMATIC RF166C communication modules are designed for use in all areas of
automation. It covers all areas in which SIMATIC Ident RFID readers and optical readers are
operated. The application takes place in the field level via a controller. Thanks to the
Ethernet interface, diagnostic data, such as processed transponder data or log entries, can
be transferred to higher-level systems via OPC UA parallel to regular operation.

Due to the high degree of protection, mounting without a protective enclosure is possible
directly near the RFID read points. The small mounting surface of the communication
module facilitates installation in confined spaces.
Two connections each for PROFIBUS DP and power supply enable configuration in a line
structure. The L-coded M12 connectors for the power supply allow a high feed-through
current in a line structure. In addition to the familiar configuration types via TIA Portal and
GSD, this communication module also feature integrated Web Based Management (WBM),
which enables the device to be set via a standard browser. The WBM supports you during
commissioning, diagnostics and servicing. It also displays information about the connected
readers and enables the reading/writing of transponder data.
You can find additional information on the various RFID devices and optical readers on the
