Description of the readers

Companies have been using RFID-based identification card systems for years to control
access to buildings. With the increasing need for security and growing requirements for
documentation, solutions are demanded with which access to machines and plants can be
controlled on a user-specific basis. The SIMATIC RF1040R, RF1060R and RF1070R
readers provide the option of using employee identification cards also when operating
machines. This allows finely graded access concepts to be implemented or user-specific
instructions to be stored - all with one card.

Reader-specific differences
The SIMATIC RF1000 readers are designed for connection to a Windows computer.
Alternatively, they can also be operated on a Linux-based system. 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.
