Description
3.1 Properties of the reader
Reader-specific differences
The connection is via a USB interface of the computer. SIMATIC RF1040R and RF1070R
readers can also be connected via the RS232 interface. The RF1070R reader is also available
as an OEM version. This reader variant is identical to the RF1070R, but is supplied with a
neutral front foil. A separate foil can be created as an alternative.
Interface-specific programming
The Siemens support site "Siemens Industry Online Support
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109741590)" provides access functions for the
readers in the form of DLL files for Windows, as well as a demo application. With operation
via the USB interface on a PC (Windows), you can implement user identification for access
to your own applications quickly and simply with the help of the DLL file. The reader reads/
processes the serial numbers and data of transponders for this.
If no DLL is available for the interface of your USB device (e.g. HMI Basic Panels), you can
use the configuration card to activate the keyboard emulation for your readers. You can find
detailed information on this in the section "Commissioning (Page 29)". In this mode, the
readers are sending the read data without being prompted to do so.
If SIMATIC RF1040R/RF1070R readers are operated on a communications module via the
RS232 interface, communication is performed using the Freeport protocol.
