Plant designation
The second area contains input boxes with which you can store your own device-specific
information on the reader. Among other things, this is intended to make it easier to identify
the individual readers.
Address information
The third area contains all the important address information with which the PC or controller
can identify the reader. You can assign the IP address and PN device name to the reader
using the "PST" or "STEP 7" tools. With the "Identify" button, you can trigger and stop a
flashing signal on the connected reader. This allows fast and simple visual identification of
the connected reader.
Reader clock
With the "Synchronize with PC" button, you can synchronize the reader clock with the time in
your operating system.
Note
The reader time always corresponds to UTC time
Note that the time of day of the reader clock corresponds to UTC time and cannot be
adapted to time zones. By clicking the button, the local time of day stored in your operating
system is transferred to the reader. This time of day is retained on the reader for at least two
days even without a power supply.
Configuration display
The current configuration is shown to the right of the four areas. The schematic
representation contains information on the connected reader type and antennas as well as
the antenna cables being used including the cable loss.
