5.6 SIMATIC RF685R
5 5 .6.4
Configuration/integration
An Ethernet interface is available for integrating the device into system
environments/networks. The RF685R can be configured via the Ethernet interface and with
direct connection to the PC. You can configure and program the reader using the following
tools:
STEP 7 Basic/Professional (TIA Portal)
or via EtherNet/IP
Web Based Management (WBM)
OPC UA or XML based user applications
Note that configuration in parallel is not possible using different tools. Simple process
controls (e.g. a traffic signal) can be implemented directly using the reader via four digital
inputs/outputs.
