Product catalog summary
Description: The BLUEBOX Micro IA is a UHF RFID reader and writer designed for industrial applications, operating in the 840 MHz to 960 MHz frequency band. It connects to a host system via RS232/RS485 serial lines, with an optional CANbus interface. The device uses a master/slave protocol for communication and can be configured and updated through the 'BLUEBOX Show' software.
Applications: Suitable for parking automation, logistics, robotics, and data collection, the BLUEBOX Micro IA features an integrated antenna, upgradeable firmware, and supports both ETSI and FCC frequencies.
Features: The device supports UHF (EPC C1 GEN2 / ISO18000-6C) RFID options, with a power supply range of 10 to 36 Vdc and a power rating of 4 W. It operates at frequencies of 865-868 MHz (ETSI) and 902-928 MHz (FCC) with a maximum power of 500 mW. The operating distance is up to 3 meters, and it includes an integrated antenna with specific gain and beamwidth characteristics.
Mechanical Specifications: The BLUEBOX Micro IA measures 120 × 122 × 37 mm, is made of ABS plastic, and has an IP65 protection class. It operates in temperatures from -20 °C to +55 °C and can be stored between -40 °C and +85 °C.
Supported Standards: The device complies with various EMC, radio regulation, and safety standards, including EN 301489, EN 300330, EN 60950-1, and RoHS guidelines. It is certified by FCC and CE.
SDK Information: The SDK supports Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8, and programming languages such as C#, C++, and serial command protocol.
Application Example: The BLUEBOX Micro IA is ideal for Industry 4.0 automation in automotive production, offering robust integration across various production steps. Its IP65 protection and wide temperature range make it suitable for harsh environments.

RFID Industrial Readers | BLUEBOX Micro IA-1

BLUEBOX Micro IA applicationS · · · · Parking Automation Logistics Robotics Data Collection Integrated Antenna Upgradeable Fw M12 Connector RS232/RS485 Optional: CANbus (SAE J1939 or CANopen) · IP65 · Supports ETSI & FCC Frequencies DESCRIPTION The BLUEBOX Controller Micro IA with internal antenna is an UHF read and write RFID device operating in the 840 MHz to 960 MHz frequency band and suitable for industrial application. It communicates with a ‘host’ system (typically a PC or a PLC) through a RS232 / RS485 serial line. Optionally the BLUEBOX Micro IA is available with a CANbus (SAE J1939 or CANopen) interface. The BLUEBOX acts as a joint through a set of commands between the host system and one or more RFID transponders (or tags) present near the antenna. The same ‚master/slave‘ protocol is used for the communication between the host system (‘master’) and the BLUEBOX (‘slave’), independently of the kind of connection (point to point or multipoint). Through these communication channels, it is also possible to configure the functional parameters and to upgrade the firmware, the ‘BLUEBOX Show’ software of the SDK is foreseen to explicate these operations. BLUEBOX is designed and developed to allow installation and maintenance experts to perform all power supply and communication connections without
