Overview
The Vega UHF RFID reader is an industrial-grade UHF RFID forklift reader integrated with ThingMagic's excellent M6e-A module as the core, and is embedded with a high-performance M5e UHF RFID module. Industrial-grade RFID readers meet the requirements of harsh environment operation standards for trucks, forklifts and automobiles (in vehicle reader models), and are highly suitable for deployment in a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications. One version is used to support the maximum allowable output power for application calls in accordance with EU regulations. Vega reader provides commands and control via the RS-232 serial interface using a local personal computer (excluding).
The Vega UHF RFID forklift reader has passed the automotive industry standard: TS16949.
The Vega UHF RFID industrial reader features the following characteristics.
1) Supports EPCglobal Gen2 (ISO 18000-6C) with anti-collision, DRM, and advanced anti-interference features
2) Three reverse TNC antenna ports support a single-station 50 Ohm antenna
3) The 9-pin series connectors support RS232 and asynchronous data transmission rates up to 921.6kbps
4) Two universal inputs and one output, which can be connected through the Molex connector
5) Confirm compliance with on-board standards
6) Accurate Reader performance in vehicles with hundreds of marked assets such as tools, electronics and IT equipment, and equipment spare parts
