Test and operation in TC/BSD
You can use the command "ls /dev/" to display all devices connected to your PC. This also includes the RFID reader. By default, this is recognized as virtual COM port ttyU0 and can be addressed via it.
You can use the command "doas cu -l /dev/ttyU0" to establish communication with the RFID reader and have the data output via the interface according to your configuration.
You can also use this port to address the RFID reader via TwinCAT.
Application in TwinCAT
In TwinCAT, you can integrate the devices via the virtual COM port and the TwinCAT function TF6340. In TwinCAT/BSD, for example, ttyU0 corresponds to COM port 0. The TwinCAT function TF660 enables more than the autoread function and control via software.
Examples of how to use the RFID reader in TwinCAT can be found here:
For use with the SDK or with samples already mentioned, you must set the RFID reader to "Virtual COM port - Bidirectional (for SDK)" using the "ConfigEditor" and "APDU (via VHL) or Low Level" as the operation mode.
