8. In the next dialog, click the "Continue" button to start the installation.
At the end of the installation, a message appears indicating that the installation was
successful.
9. Click the "Finish" button and restart the TIA Portal.
Result: Your hardware catalog has now been updated in the TIA Portal. If you open the
"Detailed information" dialog again, the "Installed" column for the HSP file now has the entry
"Yes". You will find the RF680R/RF685R readers on the following path in the hardware
catalog: "Detecting & Monitoring > Ident systems > PROFINET > SIMATIC RF600".
As an alternative, you can also link the GSDML file into the TIA Portal. You then install using
the "Options > Install general station description file (GSD)" menu command. When installing
using the GSDML file, you will find the RF680R/RF685R readers on the following path in the
hardware catalog: "Additional field devices > PROFINET IO > Ident systems > Siemens AG
> SIMATIC RF600".
You will find further information and help on linking in files in the online help of the TIA Portal.
