Features of the scenario
In this example scenario, the SIMATIC RF685R reader is controlled by a light barrier and
monitors a conveyor belt; the conveyor belt transports the goods towards two output gates
that are assigned to different recipients. Each item has a transponder that is always fitted at
the same position and with the same alignment on the item. These transponders also
contain user data that provides information about the sender and receiver of the goods.
There is a separator at the end of the conveyor belt that determines the output gate to which
the goods should be directed. The separator is set according to the results from the reader
and the goods are distributed.
After the sorter, the goods are loaded onto pallets - each pallet is fitted with a transponder.
These transponders also contain user data that provides information about the sender and
receiver of the goods. Based on the data read by the SIMATIC RF650R reader, there is a
check to make sure that the correct pallets for the specific receiver are available at the
outgoing goods gate. Light barriers are installed to control the reader. Depending on the read
results of the reader, the outgoing portal opens, or it remains closed.
