Introduction - Siemens SIMATIC RF310M Function Manual

Introduction

This document describes the RFID Reader Interface for the SIMATIC handheld systems
RF680M, RF610M and RF310M and how this interface can be utilized.
The document consists of two parts. The first part gives you an overview of how the RFID
Reader Interface can be used and the second part contains a detailed reference description
of the RFID Reader Interface.
While this document describes the usage of the RFID module within the handheld device it
neither includes nor describes how other features of the device such as barcode detection,
WLAN or updates of the operating system itself are used. You have to directly contact the
device vendor PSION in order to get software and support for these features.
You get an overview regarding topics such as WLAN and barcode by consulting the
handheld device manual. Detailed developer information, however, is still to be retrieved
from the device vendor PSION directly.
This version of the RFID Reader Interface will also be integrated in the SIMATIC RF-
MANAGER 2008 product which allows you to configure handheld devices to work in
integrated scenarios. As far as these scenarios deal with issues such as barcode handling,
these issues will be covered in this document either at least from a functional perspective.
This document will use the short form RF-MANAGER as an abbreviation for convenience
when speaking of SIMATIC RF-MANAGER 2008 and RFxxxM as one of the handhelds
RF680M, RF610M or RF310M..
