Programming

8.2 Programming via XML

8.2 Programming via XML
This section is intended only for XML users.
You can program the communication modules via the XML interface using XML commands.
You can find detailed information on this in the manual "XML programming for SIMATIC Ident
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109781631)".
8.3

Programming via OPC UA

This section is intended only for OPC UA users.
You can program the communications modules via the OPC UA interface using variables,
events and methods. You can find detailed information on this in the manual "OPC UA for
SIMATIC Ident (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/ps/14971/man)".
8.4

Programming via Rockwell controller

This section is intended only for Rockwell users.
You can program the communication modules using add-on instructions via a Rockwell
controller. With the described functions, you can read out and write transponder data via the
connected readers. You can find a detailed description of the Ident profile and the add-on
instructions in the "Ident profile, add-on instruction for Rockwell systems
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109781634/137304404619)" function
manual.
Programming of the digital inputs/outputs
The RF18xCI communications modules have configurable digital inputs/outputs that you can
configure using the WBM. You can find more information on this in the section "The "Settings
- Digital inputs/outputs" menu item (Page 82)".
You can operate the interface as a single input (DI 0) or a single output (DO 0 and PI 0), as
needed, or you can connect an IO-Link module. IO-Link modules with up to 8 inputs (DI 0 - DI
7) and/or 8 outputs (DO 0 - DO 7) are supported. Please note that the parameter assignment
of the digital inputs/outputs via the controller overwrites the parameter assignment of the
WBM.
The digital inputs can be accessed via the cyclic input word "<Device name>:I.Data[5]" of an
RF18xCI CM. The digital outputs can be set via the cyclic output word "<Device
name>:O.Data[5]" of an RF18xCI CM. Because the physical output value of the CM can
deviate from the process image value of the controller through internal linking, each physical
output value is also mapped as additional input in the controller.
