Description
The RFline M30 is a fixed and compact all-in-one UHF RFID reader for industrial automation processes.
It has a power output of up to 30 dBm / 250 mW. The power setting can be set in 1 dB steps starting from 0 to 30 dBm. In combination with the integrated circular antenna and a gain of -8 dBi, RFline UHF M30 can achieve reading distances of up to 50 centimeters within industrial environments.
Typically this device will be used within industrial automation at production lines and conveyor belt systems. Another widespread application is the identification of tool attachment at construction, municipal and farming vehicles.
The RFline UHF M30 comes with a RS232 interface and a power supply of up to 10 to 24 V. This RFID device allows a flexible and fast integration into many existing applications with its easy to install cylindrical housing and standardized M12 connectors.
iDTRONIC’s RFline UHF M30 supports the well known M30 SDK with demo and setup tools. The Windows based tools support all operating systems starting from XP up to Windows 10.
