Tutorial
This tutorial is a guide to putting an RFID reader into operation with the aid of the TwinCAT PLC.
The following steps are thereby performed:
1. Glossary
2. Installation/libraries
3. Serial connection
4. Function block declaration
5. Function block usage
6. Test
It is assumed that you have planned your RFID application in detail and that your application has already been modeled.
Based on this, you have determined that a reader supported by the TcRFID library basically meets your requirements and you can implement your application with the commands offered. Therefore, you have decided to use the TwinCAT library in order to facilitate communication with your RFID reader.
 | We will work through this tutorial with the RFID reader model Balluff Bis M 401. In principle, however, the same procedure can be adopted for other models. |
