RFID on the net

This new RFID evaluation unit is suitable for direct connection to PCs, industrial PCs or PLCs that have no standardised fieldbus interface. Users can access all connected antennas, sensors and actuators via TCP/IP protocol.

One major highlight of the DTE104, (following the DTE100 with Profibus, DTE101 with ProfiNet and DTE102 with Ethernet IP) is the on board web server, allowing the user to remotely access the device via an http address. This makes the initial set-up easier, and later monitoring and diagnostics.

The available antennae, such as the ANT410 or ANT512, are designed in the same package as ifm’s inductive sensors, so are ideally suited to harsh industrial usage.
