User-specific procedures

The SIMATIC RF650R, RF680R or RF685R UHF readers 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: RF640A
● Transmit power: 20 dBm
● IP address:
– RF650R: 192.168.0.254
– RF680R/RF685R: DHCP
As described in the previous section, the SIMATIC UHF readers RF650R, RF680R and
RF685R are designed for different environments and requirements.
If you operate the 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 RF650R, RF680R and RF685R readers in an XML
environment, they are configured and programmed from the perspective of an XML user. If
you operate the RF650R, RF680R and RF685R 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 25)".
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 29)" or "Assigning the IP address / device name with STEP 7
(Page 31)".
3. Configure reader and if applicable communications module
You will find information on this in the section "Configuration via STEP 7 (PROFINET
device) (Page 35)" and "Configuring with the WBM (Page 41)".
4. Configure / program reader commands
You will find information on this in the section "Programming via SIMATIC controller
(Page 109)".
