Navigate to Web Server > User Administration.Panel Settings - Enable Web Service for Auto-Login ( Card Reader PDF) Logon with password only ( HMI > Runtime Settings > User Administration > Check 'Logon only with password').Ĥ.This allows for the auto-login functionality that will be discussed later.HMI > Runtime Settings > Services > Check 'Web service SOAP'.

TIA Portal - Enable SOAP, Log In With Password Only Hide UIDs in the log - This option will determine if the card UID's will be displayed in the log (see 2b above).This is necessary if you are running any scripts based on the tag. Write UID to Tag - This determines the tag in the HMI that the UID will be written to.

For simplicity, I recommend using PMLogon for the username and password.

SOAP Username/Password - Select this and write it down, as you will need it for the next step.

SOAP URI for tag access - Leave this as the default value.

If the card will remain at the reader, this can be checked, otherwise, this should remain unchecked.

Log off current user when the card leaves reader - This will log off the user as soon as the card is removed.

In the configuration, configure settings as desired.

Open PM-LOGON Basic Runtime on the panel and select Configuration.

After this happens, the panel will be restarted.

Press the right arrow to begin the transfer to the HMI.

Go to Options, select PM-LOGON Basic Runtime for Panels V1.1.

In the general tab, configure IP address of panel.

On engineering computer, open SIMATIC ProSave.

This installs the option 'PM-LOGON Basic Runtime for Panels V1.1' into SIMATIC ProSave.

SOAP - Simple Object Access Protocol, Protocol specification for exchanging structured information in the implementation of web services.

UID - Unique Identifier, tied to an individual card.

Additionally, the guide will demonstrate the necessary setup elements in the PLC project, as well as instructions for getting started with user administration and auto-login. This blog is an instruction guide to installing the necessary Comfort Panel HMI software for interfacing with a Siemens RFID card reader.
