UHF Industrial Reader-1

Applications • Industrial Automation • Material Handling • Tracking & Tracing • Attachement Identification • Production Control Features • RS232, RS485, CANbus (SAE J1939 or CANopen) • 10 to 36 V Power Supply • Up to 50 cm Reading Distance • Compact Cylindrical Housing • IP67 rated DESCRIPTION The BLUEBOX M30 UHF reader/writer is a fixed and compact all-in-one UHF RFID reader for industrial automation processes. It has an power output of up to 27 dBm / 500 mW. The power setting can be set in 1 dBm steps starting from 10 dBm. In combination with the integrated circular antenna and a gain of -8 dBi, M30 UHF Cylindrical Reader can achieve reading distances of up to 50 centimeters within industrial environments. Typically this device will be used within the industrial automation at production lines and conveyor belt systems. Another wide spread application is the identification of tool attachment at construction, municipal and farming vehicles. The device comes with a RS232, RS485, CANbus (SAE J1939 or CANopen) interface and a power supply of 10 to 36 V. This RFID device allows a flexible and fast integration into many existing applications with its easy to install cylindrical M30 housing and standardized M12 connectors. iDTRONIC's BLUEBOX M30 UHF Reader/Writer supports the well known BLUEBOX SDK with demo and setup tools. The Windows based tools support all operating systems starting from XP up to Windows 10. Combined with C++, C# and a ASCII command protocol the software development kit offers an easy option to integrate this UHF reader into any environment. Further customization of firmware and hardware is possible on request and on a project basis.
