Has anyone built an RFID reader for the Ignition software? I would like to use a mobile device like a tablet or mobile phone to read RFID tags using Ignition in all three RFID frequency ranges low frequency, high frequency, and ultra-high frequency. I am new to both RFID, Ignition, and this forum. Thanks. ---

Hi Don, welcome to the forums! I’ll start with the thrust of your question. The short answer is that you’re unlikely to find one. You would need a separate tuned antenna for each freq range. Which means a separate chipset to handle each. Then there’s the squillions of protocols… Already the headaches are mounting and it’s not even my project… 😆 NEC had announced something several years ago that was supposed to handle things like that, but I never found a commercial product. Are these tags already existing, or are you starting something up from scratch? If possible, pick one freq and protocol and run with it… * * * Now for the initial question. Has anyone used RFID with Ignition? Why, yes! [https://www.inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=12897](https://www.inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=12897) ---

Thanks for the feed back. You have given me a direction which is what I need to pursue my project with RFID and the Ignition program. I need to dig deeper on the RFID technology.
