RFID with PLC's
(OP)
I am wanting to use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to keep track of how long log trucks are in the mill and where they are at. I am need this info to be fed back into an Allen Bradley PLC. Anyone ever use this and have any info about where to start.

As with both types of cards they use the M0 and M1 files to transfer information to and from the PLC processor.
Both of our PLC5 systems also use basic cards for the communication to the reader heads.
There are 2 basic types of systems that I can tell. One type stores information in the tag besides the tag number. As you can read and write to the tag.
With the other type you can only read the tag number and you must handle all the tracking information in the PLC.
Either type is good. We use both.
Have you picked a specific type/brand/model of RFID?
