The RF180C is integrated into the hardware configuration by means of a GSDML file. The
RF180C can then be configured using HW Config of the SIMATIC manager or another
PROFINET tool. The GSDML file can be found on the "RFID Systems Software &
Documentation" DVD or on the Internet (see section "Service & Support (Page 121)").
