User-specific procedure
The reader of the SIMATIC RF360R is pre-configured ex works and can immediately be put
into operation. The reader obtains its IP address via a DHCP server at the factory.
As described above, the reader is designed for different environments and requirements.
If you operate the reader in an automation environment, they are configured and
programmed from the perspective of an S7 user. Integration in third-party controllers (e.g.
Rockwell controllers) is, of course, also possible. In this case, the configuration, engineering,
and programming is performed from the point of view of a Rockwell user. If you operate the
reader in an XML environment, it is configured and programmed from the perspective of an
XML user. If you operate the reader in an OPC UA environment, they are configured and
programmed from the perspective of an OPC UA user.
If you want to adapt the reader to your requirements, we recommend the following user-
specific procedure:
