This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.
Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and
avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

This documentation provides you with an overview of the installation and programming of the
SIMATIC RF1060R reader. The operating instructions are intended for users and
programmers involved in configuration, commissioning and servicing of the SIMATIC
RF1060R.

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 reader provides 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.
The SIMATIC RF1060R is a reader for connection to a Windows based computer. The
connection is via a USB interface of the computer. The SIMATIC RF1060R is handled by the
computer like a keyboard. This makes it unnecessary to install specific RFID drivers.

accessing the reader in the form of a DLL file with a demo application. With the help of this
DLL file you can implement user identification for access to your own applications quickly
and simply. To do this, the reader reads out the serial numbers of MIFARE and ISO 15693
transponders. Depending on the card type, the serial number can be 4, 7 or 10 bytes long
(MIFARE / ISO 14443)or 8 bytes (ISO 15693).
Please note that serial numbers of transponders that begin with the byte "0x08" are always
newly generated by the transponder. This makes an assignment of serial numbers and
transponders impossible.
The reader can be addressed and controlled by functions, for example to change the status
of the reader or to communicate with a transponder. With the aid of the functions, you can for
example control the three-color reader LED. Which functions exist and how you use them is
described in this manual.

Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept.
Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines
and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the
enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate security
measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into
account. For more information about industrial security, please visit

Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to
always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported,
and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.
