Reader and writer with CAN

Idtronic has launched its Bluebox M30 UHF cylindrical reader and writer. The RFID product is suitable especially for industrial automation.

Idtronic developed its RFID reader for users, who need a flexible and fast integration into different applications. These applications are typically found in production control, material handling, and in tracking & tracing systems. The Bluebox M30 UHF reader and writer is a fixed and compact all-in-ones solution with a power output of up to 27 dBm per 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 the RFID can achieve reading distances of up to 40 cm.

The device comes optionally with a CAN interface. The supply voltage range is specified from 10 V to 36V. The antenna allows a flexible and fast integration into existing applications with easy to install M30 housing and M12 connectors.

The Bluebox software development kit runs under Windows (XP to 10). Combined with C++, C# and an ASCII-command protocol, it offers functions to integrate the modules. Customization of firmware and hardware is possible on request.
