RFID Based Material Sorting System using Siemens DCS Controller

Abstract

The SIMATIC RF200 IO-link is an inductive identification system module which is compatible with the ISO 15693 standard and this is specifically intended to be used in the industry for the control and optimization of materialistic flow. Here the field bus distributed control system integrates with the RFID material this makes the sorting system more controlled and flexible. The system can be utilized for energy management also. The system can be extended by using it for real time power monitoring and control using dcs from multiple power sources. The profinet and profibus cables are used as bus interface here to interlace the simatic PCS 7 with the RFID and the reader.
