This article explores the modular UHF platform, topology, and components,.
The Modular UHF platform is adaptable and provides direct communication to OT and IT systems with communication over Ethernet/IP, TCP/IP, or LLRP (standardized connection to higher level software). This platform allows for connection of up to 4 external antennas and supports anti-collision and antenna multiplexing (elimination of cross-interference).
Local tag filtering and logic is possible with onboard processing, along side 8 configurable local GPIO. The entire Modular UHF hardware is rated IP67 and supports optional PoE (power over ethernet).
