5.4.4 Configuration/integration
An Ethernet interface is available for integrating the device into system
environments/networks. The RF680R can be configured via the Ethernet interface and with
direct connection to the PC. You can configure and program the reader using the following
tools:
● using STEP 7 Basic/Professional (TIA Portal)
● via Ethernet/IP
● using Web Based Management (WBM)
● using OPC UA or XML based user applications
Simple process controls (e.g. a traffic signal) can be implemented directly using the reader
via four digital inputs and outputs.
