What are RFID profiles?
RFID profiles are reusable policy templates that define how RFID cards can be used when assigned to other users.
Profiles help to ensure consistent charging behaviour – for example, whether a card may be used at invited charging points, within charging networks, within Hubject networks or at public charging points – and also enable rules to be set for maximum usage.
Configuration options for profiles
Profiles can include the following:
- Validity periods – The periods during which use of the card is permitted
- Usage limits – The maximum amount of kWh that the authorised user is permitted to consume when charging at various charging points using the card (total of all charging sessions)
- Maximum spending limits – This limit applies to the total amount spent on charging sessions that the user can carry out using the card assigned to them.
- Charging cost liability settings – This setting determines which user (the cardholder or the user to whom the card has been issued) bears the charging costs for the charging session.
- Access restrictions for charging points – Can the authorised user initiate a charging session at the designated charging point using the card assigned to them?
- Company-specific charging policies
Create a profile
To create a new RFID profile:
Assign profiles
Profiles can be assigned individually or in bulk.
Once assigned, the profile rules automatically apply to all selected RFID cards.
- On the ‘My RFID’ tab:
- Via the ‘Edit/Add’ option in the RFID profile
Note: RFID profiles cannot be assigned to cards in public mode or garage mode.
Benefits of using profiles
- Standardised access management
- Reduced administrative workload
- Standardised billing policies
- Easier compliance with internal company billing rules
