IOT2050 and RF1070R

Hi all,

I'm currently working on a project where I try to implement a RF1070R RFID scanner.

The end goal is to integrate this into a Node-Red flow ( If necessary can be via python script or other solutions).

I have a working install of the "example image" on the IOT2050 (internally installed if that matters).

In Windows the RFID scanner (RF1070R) works perfectly fine. I've tested this with multiple programs. (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/eg/en/view/109741590 ) 

I have tried using the Baltech SDK  (attachment) but haven't got it working.

I've also tried to use the scanner as a serial device as I was under the impression this would be possible. But this didn't work neither. (https://support.industry.siemens.com/tf/ww/en/posts/iot2040-and-siemens-rf1060r/168056/?page=0&pageSize=10)

I've used the configuration: baudrate:115200 bit, default settings for parity bits,... (These we're recommended by the datasheet)  

Lastly i've tried to use wine and run the windows application. This didn't work neither.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I have tried both of these.

Here you can see a couple of commands and their respons.

'lsusb'

'usb-devices'

'dmesg' (this one doesn't load properly, i have attached it)

I have also tried using the node-red "serial" node. 

This with the following settings:

Hi again 

To be honest, I don't think it's actually configured correctly.

If I use the same settings over with other serial software (both on Linux and Windows) it doesn't do anything.

Would it be possible that first some (hexadecimal) string needs to be sended? 

Meanwhile i'm retrying to work with the SDK

Kind regards

Hi,

I'm working on the iot2050 advanced (6es7 647 0ba00 1ya2) over the /ttyACM0 connection.

There's also an internal connection for the internal Arduino (/ttyUSB0)

Currently i'm building CMAKE

I'm trying this again

Hi,

I've found the problem.

I had to reconfigure the internal settings of the RFID reader (it can communicate in multiple ways; RawSerial, HID,...)

I've configured it as HID qwerty keyboard now using the "Baltech ConfigEditor" software! 

Kind regards,
