Widely applicable labels from Tier X to retailers
In many manufacturing processes, particularly in the automotive industry, tags remain attached to components throughout the production and distribution process. UHF RFID is used in these areas due to its wide detection range and flexibility. However, the wide detection range often leads to the accidental detection of multiple data carriers. Therefore, the detection of a single product depends on the algorithms of the filters or middleware in the UHF interface. This increases the workload of programming and integration, and raises the cost of the UHF system.
Quick and easy integration
The Q300 simplifies the integration of UHF RFID systems by integrating the interface internally. It outputs data to controllers, ERP , or MES systems via Ethernet . The Q300 also receives power via an Ethernet cable. Trigger signal transmitters can also be directly connected to the read / write head. Therefore, RFID system integration is very quick and easy.
Maximum flexibility is achieved through continuous use of UHF.
Users can also obtain the same near-field detection advantages as RFID HF in the UHF system . This facilitates the use of UHF tags throughout the production process. Item-level identification enables production in batches as small as 1. Reliable and cost-effective fulfillment of single customer needs and Industry 4.0 production can be achieved on a single production line.
Q300 CODESYS for direct connection to PLC
The Q300-CDS can be programmed using the open control platform CODESYS , but even without programming, most important functions are available at the time of shipment using the pre-installed RFID universal interface. For integrators, the Q300 is available in Linux or Windows versions. Middleware systems can be installed directly on these versions, eliminating the need for a separate middleware PC .
