Improved RFID IO-Link antennas

Faster data communication and SIO mode

In the 2nd generation, the HF RFID antennas with IO-Link are characterised by improved values and extended possibilities. While the IO-Link COM3 communication standard ensures the fastest possible data transmission, the additional integrated switching output expands the possible applications of the antennas: they can also be operated in SIO mode without being connected to an IO-Link master and act as normally closed or normally open contacts.

Suitable for access control

As the antennas also support the ISO15693 and ISO14443 standards, they are the ideal choice for access control as well as for switch control in factory automation, for example.

On-board data analysis

In addition, the 2nd generation is equipped with two data comparators that can be used separately or in combination. The antennas are therefore able to read and process values from tags. For example, the tag value can be compared with defined target values and a signal can be output accordingly via IO-Link or switching output. No additional controller is required.

Password support and tag type detection

Automatic tag type detection ensures reliable reading of values even with varying block sizes. The option to restrict read and write access to tags via password entry completes the improved range of 2nd generation HF RFID antennas.
