The automatic power-saving function
The SIMATIC RF680M has an automatic shutdown function. This is activated if no key on
the reader is pressed for approximately three minutes.
In addition, the "SIMATIC RF680M" software has a further power-saving function. If no tag is
detected for 20 seconds after starting a tag command, or if the tag currently being edited
exits the field for longer than 20 seconds, the current tag command is interrupted. The
following message appears (see also Progress and timeout display (Page 62):
Figure 10-6
You can now stop the command completely with "Cancel" or continue it with "Retry". If you
continue, the interrupted command is continued at the point of interruption.

System reset
After inserting the batteries and switching on for the first time, the reader carries out a
system reset. This reset is the same as a hardware reset.
A system reset can also be performed manually.
The saved back-up status of the device can be restored.
Requirements for the system reset:
● The "Flash Disk" directory contains the backup file with the extension *.pfl
● The devices must be in the "Supervisor" operating mode. See Operating modes
