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:

  1. Download all content within the RFID Simulator Software folder.
  2. Install the simulator by referring to the RFID Simulator Installation Instructions.
  3. Refer to the RFID Simulator Manual for a quick walkthrough and general overview of the simulator.
