Linking readers into STEP 7 (Basic / Professional)
Note that the RF680R/RF685R readers are only included in the TIA Portal as of STEP 7
Basic/Professional version V14. With older versions, the readers must later be linked into
TIA using an HSP or GSDML file. Using the GSDML file, you can also link the reader into
STEP 7 Classic or third-party systems.
You can find the current GSDML file on the reader and in the Siemens Industry Online
Support (
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/72341852
) pages on the
Internet. Follow the instructions given there to integrate the HSP/GSDML file into your
system.
You will find further information on downloading the GSDML file in the section "The "System"

Creating a STEP 7 project (Basic / Professional)
The RF680R/RF685R readers can be linked into SIMATIC automation systems using STEP
7 Basic / Professional as of V13 (TIA Portal). The connection is via PROFINET. Following
this, you can configure the reader using the WBM while you control the work with the reader
using the Ident library of the TIA Portal.
