RFID readers: AdvanReader-m4TM
AdvanReader-m4TM is a 4-port, high power, high performance UHF reader with a wide set of input and output connections that make it the most flexible reader in the market.
AdvanReader-m4TM can become your own reader: your company logo can be the only logo on the enclosure. Your customers will think that it has been developed by your company.
AdvanReader-m4TM is best suited as the core building block for RFID finished products, although it can also be used as a stand-alone reader.
AdvanReader-m4TM is very flexible:
- Power supply : Power over Ethernet, or 24 VDC
- Communications interface : Ethernet, Wifi, serial
- Capability to power on external devices
- On board sensors: light sensor, humidity sensor
- On-board buzzer
- On-board led indicators
- Inputs and outputs:
- 8 optically isolated digital input lines
- 8 optically isolated digital output lines
- Output for a 1 watt loudspeaker
- Outputs for powering and controlling other Keonn products (AdvanMux, AdvanPhaser, …)
- Output for an external “power on” indicator
- Output for an external “ethernet linked” indicator
- Output for an external “ethernet activiy” indicator
- Output for an external “Wifi status” indicator
AdvanReader-m4TM is the best choice to control other Keonn products as it communicates directly with AdvanMux-8, AdvanMux-12, AdvanMux-16 and AdvanPhaser.
Business benefits of AdvanReader-m4TM:
- High-performance: high output power and high sensitivity
- High flexibility
- Reduces time and cost of developing RFID systems
- Direct connection to AdvanMux multiplexer
- Direct connection to an embedded computer
- Direct connection to an external loudspeaker
- Multiple digital inputs and ouputs
- On-board buzzer, light sensor and humidity sensor
- Multiple LED indicators
