Integration in IT networks via the user application
Connecting the RF600 readers using XML
If you want to create your own applications for the RF600 readers, you can do this using the
XML-based demo application of the reader. You can find information on XML commands in
the configuration manual "SIMATIC RF600".
Connecting the RF600 readers using OPC UA
If you want to create your own applications for the RF600 readers, you can do this using the
OPC UA application of the reader. You can find information on OPC UA in the configuration
manual "SIMATIC RF600".
You will find more information on OPC UA on the pages of the "OPC Foundation
)".
Connecting the RF600 readers using OEM
The RF600 readers also provide you with the option of developing and running your
application directly on the Linux operating system integrated in the reader. For this function,
you need special activation of the reader in the form of firmware. It is only available upon
request. Contact your local Siemens office about this.
