Read / write head for UHF: ideal solution for applications with limited space for installation

Picture of Read / write head for UHF
UHF read/write heads offer a longer range than the reading/writing systems for LF and HF since UHF technology communicates to a long distance thanks to "separate" waves and LF/HF systems operate at a short distance. The scope can be varied by changing the design of the antenna and transmitted power. In addition to the antenna F117 for existing UHF, with a range of up to 6 m, pepperl + Fuchs offers a very compact solution, F190 for UHF, specially adapted to applications in the technology of production and intralogistics where LF and HF systems reading distance is not enough.

F190 UHF read/write head is the ideal solution for applications with limited space for the installation. The typical scope of reading of 0.2 m to 1.5 m can cover most distances up to the labels and cover other tolerances. Its adjustable detection range allows the selective reading of the label. The design of the read/write head for UHF is not only compact but also extremely robust thanks to its lower metal section, with built-in electronics and antenna attached through the top. So is confirmed by the industrial connection through M12 connector and with its high IP67 protection. UHF read/write head can be used in applications where it is necessary to read multiple tags simultaneously, for example to identify different products in a container. This greatly reduces the effort of reading. UHF tags are supplied as labels of low cost, offering an economical way to integrate suppliers into the process sequence.

UHF read/write head has a command structure similar to the of other read/write heads that can be connected to the IDENTControl, which simplifies much integration in the control software.

As an aid for putting into service is offered free software RFIDControl, which allows you to parameterize the devices, diagnostic data and start the test mode if the controller is not available. The redundant and multicolor LED displays facilitate implementation underway to provide information on the current status of the device.

In summary:-for RFID, IDENTControl is the gateway to the most commonly used field bus.
