Description of the readers
Companies have been using RFID-based identification card systems for years to control
access to buildings. With the increasing need for security and growing requirements for
documentation, solutions are demanded with which access to machines and plants can be
controlled on a user basis. The SIMATIC RF1060R/RF1070R readers provide the option of
using employee identification cards also when operating machines. This allows finely graded
access concepts to be implemented or user-specific instructions zo be stored - all with one
card.
