Traditional industrial protocol RFID solutions invoke a Reader with 1 to 2 Antennas hanging from it. The Reader manages the Antennas and translates Tag data into the appropriate protocol.

RFID, Inc. has developed a solution whereby the traditional RFID Reader is combined into the Antenna package, and termed Smart Antennas.

Networkable Smart Antennas operate on CAN, whereby 32 can be dropped into a single network using standard cabling. This network is then linked to one of RFID, Inc.'s Industrial Protocol Interfaces which include:

  • Profibus
  • RS232/RS422/RS485
  • TCPIP
  • DeviceNet (not yet released)
  • Modbus (not yet released)
  • Ethernet IP (not yet released)
  • Discrete I/O (not yet released)

All of RFID, Inc.'s current Antenna packages will accept the new Smart Antenna electronics, the smallest measuring approximately 1" in diameter x 4" in length in a proximity switch style housing and another 2" x 2" x 1.6" specifically designed to be mounted on metal.
