The is the definitive choice for engineers and students aiming to model 13.56 MHz contactless radio frequency identification (RFID) systems entirely inside a virtual sandbox . Built around the industry-standard NXP MFRC522 integrated circuit , the physical module is an incredibly popular tool for access control, tracking, and payment system prototyping. However, because Labcenter Electronics Proteus does not ship with a native, pre-installed model for this specific SPI-driven frontend, external plugin libraries are critical.
Here is the standard pinout for connecting the simulated RC522 to an Arduino Uno in Proteus: rc522 proteus library top

Open Proteus and create a new schematic capture. Search for "RC522" or "RFID" in the pick-device keywords section ( P shortcut). The module will now appear in your list. Power supply (Note: Physical RC522 is 3
For advanced users, some repositories offer DLL-based VSM models. These libraries allow you to load hex or binary data representing unique card IDs (UIDs) directly into a simulated memory space, allowing for true sector reading and writing simulation rather than just reading a static UID.
