•
Status and process feedback indicators via LEDs
Reading Operation
Mode
•
Start/stop operation: For reading one or more transponders during
a read cycle.
Read cycle
•
Read cycle start condition is configurable in the object trigger con‐
trol settings: switching inputs etc.
•
Read cycle stop condition is configurable in the object trigger con‐
trol settings: switching inputs etc.
Radio interface(s)
•
Internal antenna
Transponder Process‐
ing
•
Base model RFU620 supports all standard passive transponders
that are compatible with EPCglobal UHF Class 1 Generation 2 or
ISO/IEC-18000-6C
•
Reading, writing, and multiple overwriting of the data on the
transponders, depending on the application
•
The data-supplying device is a component of a system for complete
visualization of the data within the process chain
Transponder Manage‐
ment
•
Decoding of the UII in HEX, BIN and ASCII. Supports GS1 TDS and
other industry-specific standards such as VDA55xx.
