Siemens MDS D460 RFID Transponder

The Siemens MDS D460 RFID transponder is a high-performance identification component engineered for seamless integration into industrial automation environments. Designed as a compact pill-style transponder, it supports the ISO 15693 standard and is fully compatible with SIMATIC RF200, RF300, and MOBY D identification systems. Utilizing advanced FRAM technology, this device provides reliable data storage and rapid communication, making it an essential tool for tracking and managing assets in demanding industrial settings.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Siemens MDS D460 lies in its robust construction and high-capacity memory, which allows for extensive data logging directly on the tracked object. By utilizing FRAM technology, the transponder offers virtually unlimited write cycles and high-speed data access, ensuring long-term reliability even in high-frequency operational environments. Its compact dimensions allow for easy mounting in space-constrained applications, while the adherence to international standards ensures broad compatibility across various RFID infrastructure setups.

Suitable for

• Industrial manufacturing and assembly line tracking
• Logistics and warehouse inventory management
• Supply chain monitoring and asset identification
• Automated production control processes

This transponder may not be suitable for applications requiring extremely long-range detection, as it is optimized for proximity-based identification. Additionally, it is not intended for use in environments where the physical mounting surface or surrounding materials cause significant interference with the specific radio frequency range used by ISO 15693 standards.

Key specifications

• Chip type: Fujitsu MB89R118
• Memory capacity: 2000 bytes FRAM
• Standard: ISO 15693
• Dimensions: 16 mm diameter x 3 mm height
• System compatibility: RF200, RF300, MOBY D

To use the Siemens MDS D460, the transponder must be securely mounted onto the target object or carrier. Ensure that the mounting location is free from excessive metal interference that could obstruct the radio signal. Once installed, the transponder is automatically detected by compatible SIMATIC RFID readers when it enters the read/write field, allowing for instantaneous data exchange and tracking without the need for direct line-of-sight.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your existing SIMATIC RF200, RF300, or MOBY D reader hardware.
• Ensure the 16x3 mm dimensions fit the physical constraints of your application.
• Note that the minimum order quantity for this product is 50 units.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure the transponder is positioned consistently relative to the reader antenna. Avoid exposing the transponder to environmental conditions exceeding its specified physical tolerances to maintain data integrity over the long term.
