Creating RFID Tags 

Use

Each project has only one RFID node. The RFID node may have more than one data node (data group) and each data node may have multiple tags, displayed in the tag information area under Tags. Each tag has information fields such as Tag Id, Tag Type, TID Password, TID Locked, Valid, and In Range.

Because the RFID emulator cannot work with physical RFID tags, all tag data must be entered into a project before doing any RFID emulation.

 

Prerequisites

·        The RFID peripheral panel is displayed.

·        At least one tag type is enabled.

 

Procedure

...

       1.      Create a new Data group by pressing the  button. The New Data dialog box will be displayed and prompt the user to input the name of this Data group.

       2.      Create a tag record for the selected Data group by pressing the  button. The New Tag dialog box is launched and prompts to input information for the RFID tag:

                            a.      Tag Type - Select the tag type for the new tag.

                            b.      Tag Id - These are the tag ID bytes.

Red colored bytes indicate the tag ID prefix. These bytes cannot be changed.

 

                                                  i.       Double click on any of the bytes. The Byte Entry window is display.

                                                ii.       Select any value from 1 to 255.

                                               iii.       Click on the Enter button.

                                               iv.       Repeat the process for each of the remaining tag ID bytes.

If a tag has all the bytes in the tag ID set to "FF", it is treated as a blank tag.

 

                            c.      Tag Id Locked - Checkbox is enabled if tag ID is lockable. Check to lock the tag ID.

                            d.      Tag Id Password - If you locked the tag ID, you can set the password to reset the tag. The procedure is the same as described for the Tag Id.

                            e.      Memory Map - You can set the value of any of the Writable bytes by clicking on the Value… button and selecting values from the Byte Entry window.

       3.      Click on the OK button.

 

Result

A new tag is created.
