Software solutions for RFID

Hello TI community,

I am working on a project in which I need to track people coming in and out of a location. I have been looking at purchasing the RI-CTL-MB2B control module with the RI-RFM-007B modulation unit. It is my understanding that the control unit creates a log file of the events which it detected. Is there any software package, which is able to directly interface with the control unit, keep track of the people coming in and out?

Thanks for the help,

Juan Mosquera

    The 'logging' (=detected tags) are actually stored inside the RI-RFM-007B (Gate-Mode), but the only thing you get is the serial number of the tag. I believe you might prefer to get a timestamp with your tags.

    HELP-> STORED ID's = "Clicking this button will display the buffer ID's which are stored into the buffer during activated Gate Mode,  together with the memory location where the identification number is stored.  Each transmitted line consists of the transponder type character, space, the memory location, space, application code, space, identification code, carriage return and line feed.  "

    The TI software S2_util.exe which makes Config/communication possible does not have a logging functionality as far as I see it. BUT, you can easily use any terminal program to log the RS232 communication output to file.  I would advice my favorite: "PUTTY".

    My advice would be to capture the serial output from the module and write your own logger-software based on what you receive.

    I imagine it to be an Embedded module with database functionality and even webpage access (like Technologic Systems TS-boards, linux based) for your access follow-up... :)

     

    I hope this helped a little!

    I came across this link : 

    RFID Access Control Software System :  http://www.gaorfid.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=143

    Interesting is "Passive LF, HF and UHF and semi-passive and active technologies can all be flexibly used together in the same system.",  but they do not mention what hardware it supports.
