Security information
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 constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be
connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network
segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit
Link: (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers’ exposure
to cyber threats.

Description
2
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/RF1070R readers provide 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.
Figure 2-1 Product photo of the SIMATIC RF1060R and SIMATIC RF1070R readers
The SIMATIC RF1060R/RF1070R readers are designed for connection to a Windows
computer. The connection is via a USB interface of the computer. The reader is handled by
the computer like a keyboard. This makes it unnecessary to install specific RFID drivers.

On the Siemens support page "Industry Online Support
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109741590)" there are functions for
accessing the readers in the form of DLL files with a demo application. With the help of the
DLL files 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
(MIFARE / ISO 14443), 8 bytes (ISO 15693) or 4, 7 or 8 bytes (LEGIC) long.
The following table provides an overview of the transponders supported by the readers.

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.

General information
On the Siemens support page "Industry Online Support
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109741590)" you will obtain the file
"RF10x0R.zip". This contains access functions as a DLL file and a demo application that
illustrates the use of the DLL file.
With the demo application "AccessControlDemo" you can address the reader directly from
your application via the USB interface. A precompiled DLL file for Windows systems that
provides this function is included in the package.
The DLL makes various functions for communication with the reader available for integration
in your application. The reader has return values and status codes to inform you of the
reader status and execution of the functions.
5.1
The functions of the DLL
5.1.1
brp_open_usb_session
The function opens a connection to the reader via the USB interface and returns a session
key that is required for all functions and continued communication via this connection. If the
connection was successfully established, the value "BRP_OK" is returned.
Note that all the following functions can only be executed after you have established a
connection to the reader with the function "brp_open_usb_session". If this is not the case, an
error is signaled back.
Note
Parallel operation not possible
Note that with the application, a connection can only be established to one reader at any one
time. For this reason "brp_open_session" may only be called up once and befo
re it can be
called again must first be closed by the function "brp_close_session".
After a "brp_open_session" the parameter "Handle" must always be = "0". If the parameter
≠
"0", there is either an error or the function "brp_open_session" was called up several times in
succession.

5.1.7
vhl_select
With the help of this function you select a card located in the antenna field. If successful, the
status "OK" is returned.
The type of the selected card is returned in the parameter "CardType". Note that
specification of the card type is achieved with the serial number, the length of the serial
number and other information specified at the time of the selection phase. Since there is no
guarantee that the serial number is unique, the card type is also not necessarily correct.
With the "VHLSelect" function you can select the card located in the antenna field of the
reader. Whenever "VHLSelect" is called again, the currently selected card is changed to the
"Hold mode" and "VHLSelect" returns the value "NOTAG_ERR". If you want to select a card
again without removing it physically from the antenna field, you need to set the "Reselect"
parameter to "TRUE".
The "CardTypeMask" parameter allows only specific card families to be selected. If you want
to select all cards supported by the hardware of the reader, you need to set the parameter to
"0xFFFF". The more significant half byte specifies the card family (1-6) while the less
significant half byte (X) refers to the recognized card type.

Most of the status codes listed in the table above do not require reselection of the
transponder. The only status code that deviates from this rule is "NOTAG_ERR" This
requires reselection of the transponder by the application.
The functions are constructed so that if execution fails, they are automatically repeated. This
compensates any communications problems that may occur, e.g. due to bad RF signal
quality as a result of external influences.

Creating your own application
Requirement
● You have installed the DLL file and the demo application.
● The reader is connected.
Note that the demo application is capable of running without Microsoft Visual Studio
(Express) being installed. You can view the source code with a text editor. To edit the source
code you require Microsoft Visual Studio (Express) on your PC.
Creating your own application
Follow the steps below to create your own application:
1. Establish the connection to the reader ("brp_open_usb_session").
2. Check cyclically whether a transponder is located in the read range of the reader
("vhl_select").
There is transponder in the read range:
– The transponder is recognized.
– Read out the serial number ("vhl_get_snr").
– Signal the application that the transponder with the serial number "x" was recognized.
– Check cyclically whether the transponder is still in the read range.
The transponder is no longer within the read range:
– Signal the application that the transponder with the serial number "x" is no longer
recognized.
3. Terminate the connection to the reader ("brp_close_session").
The source code of the demo application can serve as an example for your own application.
