The new UHF RFID system from ifm electronic uses the 865-870 MHz band offering flexibility on a standard platform for production and logistics. The compact ultra-low and low range units will read tags in close proximity without interference from adjacent tags for extra selectivity. A mid-range antenna will pick up data from a tag up to 2 m away, while the long-range options can read a tag at 7 m.
Bulk reading of the standard tags is also well within the capability of the new system, which is based on the ISO 18000-6C standard. The information read from the tag is presented to the outside world through a standard Ethernet TCP/IP interface.
Software for configuring the system with up to four antennae is supplied standard with the ifm DTE800 reader unit. Further integration into automation systems is made possible via coordinating input and output signals on the reader. A read sequence can be triggered by an external event and sorting carried out directly by the unit.
All units, readers and antennae come housed in industrial designs featuring IP65 protection and standard connectors. A selection of co-axial leads for the antennae as well as Ethernet patch cords can be supplied if required.

Electrical Power & Protection
Despite growing digitalisation, there are still many situations where analogue measured values such as the level in a tank or the temperature of a climatised room must be directly readable in the control cabinet or at the control desk. The current loop display is designed for precisely this purpose.
