The BL ident configurator
The use of sensors and actuators – and even fieldbusses – is state-
of-the-art in many industrial fields. When RFID systems are used on 
the other hand, there are always questions relating to the air-
interface, e.g. "How fast and at which distance can I move the data 
carrier past the write-read heads?". That is to say that there is a 
certain amount of general uncertainty concerning the range of 
applications of an RFID system. 
General details such as "recommended write-read distance" or 
"transmission speed = 0.5 ms/ byte" are usually not sufficient for 
evaluation of the usage of the devices in a determined application, 
as the application variables such as data quantity, speed and 
distance are the result of a complex interaction between the read-
write heads and data carriers. 
With the “BL ident configurator” the respective application can be 
simulated and the correct preliminary selection can be made. 
The setting of applications parameters by "playing" with the values 
allows the user to easily test the options and limits associated with 
the respective combinations.
