User-specific procedures

The readers of the SIMATIC RF600 product family are preconfigured when shipped and can
be put into operation without any further configuration. When shipped from the factory, the
readers are preconfigured as follows:
● First antenna connector occupied: RF650A
● Transmit power: 20 dBm
● IP address:
– RF650R: 192.168.0.254
– RF615R/RF680R/RF685R: DHCP
As described in the previous section, the RF600 readers are designed for different
environments and requirements.
If you operate the RF615R, RF680R and RF685R readers in an automation environment,
they are configured and programmed from the perspective of an S7 user. Integration in third-
party controllers (e.g. Rockwell controllers) is, of course, also possible. In this case the
configuration, engineering and programming is performed from the point of view of a
Rockwell user. If you operate the RF600 readers in an XML environment, they are
configured and programmed from the perspective of an XML user. If you operate the RF600
readers in an OPC UA environment, they are configured and programmed from the
perspective of an OPC UA user.
If you want to adapt the readers to your requirements, we recommend the following user-
specific procedure:
Procedure as S7 user
1. Connect the hardware
You will find information on this in the section "Connect the hardware (Page 22)".
2. Assign the IP address / device name
You will find information on this in the section "Assigning the IP address / device name
with the PST (Page 27)" or "Assigning the IP address / device name with STEP 7
(Page 29)".
3. Configure reader and if applicable communications module
You will find information on this in the sections "Configuration via STEP 7 (PROFINET
