A.3

Connection of serial devices via Freeport protocol

The manuals of the relevant devices contain information on the parameterization options for
the devices stated in the following:
• SIMATIC MV320 (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/ps/15157/man)
• SIMATIC RF1000 (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/ps/24223/man)
You will find the parameter assignment options of other serial devices in the manuals of the
respective device vendor.
A.3.1

Compatible Ident devices

The following Ident devices can be operated using the communication module via the
Freeport protocol and the RS232/RS422 interface:
• SIMATIC MV320
• SIMATIC RF1040R/RF1070R
You can also connect any serial device to the communication module because the
communication module can use the Freeport protocol to communicate with serial devices
(e.g. bar code scanner, intelligent sensor or other automation components with serial
connection).
A.3.2

Connecting handheld readers / access control readers / serial devices

Figure A-1
The coiled connecting cable of the optical handheld readers SIMATIC MV320 has a length of
1.6 m. Due to its coiling, it can be extended to a length of 4 m during operation. A
preassembled cable is also available for connection of the SIMATIC RF1040R/RF1070R
readers.
When connecting general serial devices, you need to assemble the cable yourself for the
specific device. You will find detailed information on this topic in section "Self-assembled
cables (Page 47)".
