Assign the IP address / device name

To achieve ideal communication between the PC and readers or a controller and readers,
you need to assign a unique IP address or device name to each individual reader.
Depending on the infrastructure in which you want to operate the readers, there are different
procedures as explained below:
● Operating RF650R/RF680R/RF685R readers as an XML user in an IT environment
The unique assignment is based on the IP address using the Primary Setup Tool V4.2 or
higher (PST).
● Operating RF650R/RF680R/RF685R readers as an OPC UA user in an IT environment
The unique assignment is based on the IP address using the Primary Setup Tool V4.2 or
higher (PST).
● Operating RF680R/RF685R readers as an S7 user in an automation environment
The unique assignment for PROFINET operation is based on the device name using the
TIA Portal (as of STEP 7 Basic / Professional V13).
In PROFIBUS operation via a communications module an IP address needs to be
assigned only for configuration and diagnostics purposes.
● Operating RF680R/RF685R readers as a Rockwell user in an automation environment
The unique assignment is made using the IP address.
The RF650R reader ships with the IP address "192.168.0.254" set in the factory. In the
factory settings, the RF680R and RF685R readers are set to DHCP. With the aid of the tools
listed and the WBM (as of firmware V3.0) you can change IP addresses.
These alternative methods are described below.
4.4.1

Assigning the IP address / device name with the PST

Requirement
The Primary Setup Tool (V4.2 or higher) is installed and the RF650R/RF680R/RF685R
reader is connected and has started up. You can find the Primary Setup Tool on the DVD
supplied with the reader or on the pages of "Siemens Industry Online Support
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/de/view/19440762)".
Procedure
Follow the steps below to assign a new, unique IP address and a unique device name to the
reader:
1. Call up the Primary Setup Tool with "Start > All Programs > Siemens Automation >
SIMATIC > Primary Setup Tool".
2. In the menu bar under "Settings > Set PG/PC interface..." select the network adapter via
which the reader is connected to the PC and confirm with "OK".
