The reader is ready for operation when the "R/S" LED is lit/flashes green. If the "R/S" LED is
flashing, the reader is waiting for a connection. If the "R/S" LED is lit constantly, the reader is
connected to the controller or PC.
Pre-assembled cables therefore permit the ideal and simple connection of the reader. You
can find more information on the cables and wide-range power supply unit in the "SIMATIC
RF600" system manual.
