RF-MANAGER components

The RF-MANAGER comprises the following components:
● RF-MANAGER Engineering System (ES)
● RF-MANAGER Runtime (RT)
RF-MANAGER Engineering System (ES)
The RF-MANAGER Engineering System is the software for handling all your essential
configuring tasks. You can use ES to create RFID projects on your PC and to parameterize
their components.
RF-MANAGER Runtime (RT)
RF-MANAGER Runtime is the software that is used to operate RFID systems. In Runtime,
you can execute the RFID projects during process operation that you created and
parameterized in the Engineering System. The RT software can run either on the same PC
as the ES, or on another Windows XP-PC of your choice. Other options for the runtime
system are the SIMATIC Microbox PC 420 and the SIMATIC Microbox PC 427B. The
runtime system can exchange data with an S7 PLC by means of variables.
In accordance with the product version or licensing of RF-MANAGER that you have
selected, you can use the runtime system to address up to 50 RFID readers. Later license
extensions for the Runtime software can also be obtained.
