Overview
Allen-Bradley industrial RFID system consists of three key components:
Communication Interfaces: To either a network or controller.
Transceivers: At each point or station in the manufacturing process where identification or the reading/writing of information is desired.
RFID Tags: One for each item, pallet, tote, or transport fixture used in the application.

Introduction
RFID Tag
Transceiver
Connection Systems
There are two methods for handling data in single-channel and dual-channel applications:
Data can be written on the tag: Information is easy to find and can be managed individually. Data is always with the item you are tracking.
The downside is more memory is needed on the tag that might increase the cost of the tag. The new iCode tags are very cost effective and
have 128 B of memory.
Data is in a remote server linked to a tag ID: Tag information is just an ID number. Lower cost tags can be used because of less memory
but they have to be linked to a data server which might require additional cost. iCode tags are very cost effective and can be used with this
method as well.

Industrial Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have emerged as a rugged and reliable way to track and document products as they move
through the manufacturing process. Unlike the bar code systems used for similar, less demanding applications, industrial RFID systems are designed
to withstand harsh environments. Plus, reusable read/write tags allow for flexibility in information and application.
ISO 15693 iCode is an open standard for high frequency 13.56 MHz RFID. iCode Tags are lower cost and available from multiple manufacturers. Tags
are available in many different styles and sizes to fit most applications.
2
1.5 MHz low frequency RFID system is targeted for EMI intensive environments. It provides enhanced immunity to EMI, interference from metallic
reflective surfaces, oil, water, and other potentially disruptive materials. Propriety F-Code tags are offered in 7 B read only or 2, 8, and 32 KB
read/write with a sensing rang of up to 100 mm (3.94 in.). Read only tags are ideal for license plate applications.
3
13.56 MHz high frequency RFID system is ISO 15693 Compliant. iCode Tags are lower cost and available from multiple manufacturers. Tags are
available in many different styles and sizes to fit most applications with a sensing range of up to 200 mm (7.87 in.).
