Functions of the USB/RS232 interface for Windows

You can program the reader using access functions. You can find the "RF1000R.zip" file on
the Siemens support page "Siemens Industry Online Support
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109741590)". It includes the DLL files
("BrpDriver_x64" and "BrpDriver_x86"), the DLL functions as well as a demo application
which demonstrates the use of the DLL functions.
With the demo application "AccessControlDemo" you can address the reader directly from
your application via the USB interface. A precompiled DLL file for Windows systems that
provides this function is included in the package.
The DLL files provide various DLL functions for communication with the reader for integration
in your application. The reader has return values and status codes to inform you of the
reader status and execution of the functions.
You can integrate the DLL files in your application under Microsoft Windows 7/8/10 and use
them to call the described functions directly.
Connection options for programming via DLL functions
The type of programming depends on the connection option used. Programming via the
following DLL functions can be performed when using the following connection options:
● Via the USB interface
● Via the RS232 interface, when connected to a PC
● Via the USB interface, when using an RS232 interface converter
