    Introduction Purpose of this document This documentation describes how you create a configuration for the SIMATIC RF1000 and RF1100 readers, adapt it and transfer it to the readers. This manual is aimed at users, commissioning engineers and configuration engineers who work with the SIMATIC RF1000/ RF1100 readers in the areas of configuration, engineering and commissioning and who were trained on the software components specified in the manual.
  • Page 6 The software components described in this manual are contained in the "RF1000_ConfigTool_Package.exe" file. In addition, you may need the demo application "RF1000R.exe" ("AccessControlDemo.exe"). You can find the two files on the pages of the Siemens Industry Online Support (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/ps/24223/ dl).
