Our Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Systems are ideal for tracking and documenting products as they move through the manufacturing process in light-duty industrial applications. The RFID system tags, transceivers, and interfaces are designed to the ISO 15693 open standard for high frequency.
In addition to our 56RF EtherNet/IP-enabled RFID system, our new 59RF family of high frequency read/ write transceivers are IO-Link enabled, making this a smart Track and Trace solution.
This solution easily integrates into The Connected Enterprise, delivering data from the plant floor directly into a control system to help minimize downtime and increase productivity.

Software
RFID Simulator is a Windows-based software program intended to assist in the setup of an RFID application. The simulator allows the selection of nearly all combinations of transceivers and tags offered by Rockwell Automation. By varying the tag-to-transceiver distance and line speed, a user is able to quickly determine the most optimal setup for their application.
Note: The simulator is a tool intended to assist in the setup of an RFID application. The values displayed within are theoretical estimates, and variations within an individual system may effect realized values.
To install the RFID Simulator:
- Download all content within the RFID Simulator Software folder.
- Install the simulator by referring to the RFID Simulator Installation Instructions.
- Refer to the RFID Simulator Manual for a quick walkthrough and general overview of the simulator.
