Programming via the OPC UA interface
All SIMATIC RF600 readers have implemented OPC UA servers with a range of functions
defined by "OPC Unified Architecture for AutoID". For this, "OPC Unified Architecture for
AutoID" defines the "AutoIdDevice" and, derived from this, the "RfidReaderDevice". With the
RF600 readers, each read point stands for an independent "AutoIdDevice" or
"RfidReaderDevice".
