System Feature
Wi-Fi/Ethernet Connected UHF RFID Tag Reader
- Connection is from device connected to server.
- Once system power up, it will auto create a persistence connection to the server without user intervention.
- Server can be placed either at public cloud, private cloud or LAN.
- Device able to work behind firewall.
4 Channel Long Range UHF Tag Reading
- Based on Imping E710 chip with improved read rate and superior receive sensitivity for long rang reading.
- Build in 1200 Tag Cache size for highspeed reading.
- Able to match with various type of 50Ω Antenna to manage the tag detection range and angle.
- Auto antenna detection and will only turn-on the antenna output channel if the antenna is detected.
- User can also adjust the output power from 1dBm to 33dBm to manage the reading distance remotely though the server.
- With the correct antenna and low lost feeder cable, the reading can achieve up to the reading range of 15meter.
- Build in device core temperature sensor, providing remote temperature monitoring when the device is operating under high temperature environment.
- Over temperature error auto stop and notification.
- Build in Tag Selection Filter that only detect the tag that matches or NOT matches the selection criteria.
- Auto read tag data on any one of the tag’s memories banks when the tag is detected.
- Write/Lock/Kill Tag with Tag Selection Filter.
Power of Ethernet support
- Support IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at.
- Input voltage ranging from 44V to 57V.
- In-rush current limit control.
- Over-temperature protection
- Support power supply at pin 1&2, 3&6 and 4&5, 7&8 on the RJ45 connector
Internal power supply with DC/DC convertor to reduce power wastage
- Input DC 12V to 24V.
- Reverse polarity protection
- 2 input port and 2 output port.
- Able to configure the input port as I/O input or user push button input.
- Push button input allow to auto user press action, single press, double press, triple press and long press (press and hold more than 4 second).
- Provide number of input on/off cycle counter to prevent missing cycle.
- Wet contact output design using MOSFET thus support up to 30V 1A output current without the wear and tear of the relay contact.
- Output port can be configured as standard High/Low output or Auto Pulsed output.
- Configurable pulse duration (configure separately for High level and Low-level period) and number of pulse cycle when trigger by server.
Auto fetch real time clock from Internet Time Server.
- Auto connect with the Internet Time Server to fetch the Real time value (EPOC Time) when network is connected and internet link is available.
- Manually set time by server if internet link is not available.
- Auto readjust the time drift periodically.
- Append the EPOC time to all the message.
Direct link with USB Connection
- Easily link up with the device without connecting to the network.
- Suitable for direct connection with PC/Host system locate beside the device.
- Just add an extra JSON layer of wrapper to wrap around the same JSON messaging standard used in the MQTT Broker Server communication.
- Thus provide an easy path for future system expansion, from localized system architecture to network-based system architecture.
Network link with MQTT Broker Server
- Open Standard protocol and readily available either using paid version or free version of MQTT Broker Server.
- Messaging format based on JSON format.
- JSON messaging format is supported by various programming language and easily integrated to any existing system.
Easy setup and configuration
- System configures with Android Apps.
- Provide detail device properties, e.g. model number, version number, etc.
- Connectivity selection either using Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB Link.
- Upload WPA Enterprise Server private/public key.
- Server IP/Domain Name Setup.
- DHCP/Fix IP.
- Internet Time Server Setting.
FW-Bus for I/O port expansion
- A short distance (Up to 10 meter) communication bus.
- Allow to attach external I/O Expansion Unit.
- Maximum up to 8 unit of I/O Expansion Unit, thus providing up to 64unit of input port and 64unit of output port.
