Test

As soon as you have created the program according to the procedure described, activate the current configuration with the linked variables in the TwinCAT System Manager and set TwinCAT to Run mode. Log into the controller and start the application.

If you move a transponder in front of your RFID reader, this is detected and the received message as well as the serial number are adopted in the program code. The values are represented online in the program code or in an additional visualization.

Test 1:

Device configuration

The Balluff RFID reader must be configured in a way that is suitable for this functionality. The option Type and serial number with CT pres. must be activated. These and other configuration parameters are described in more detail in the section Balluff > RFID reader settings. Not every RFID reader supports this setting.
