1 13 Industrial RFID Overview RFID Reader and Antenna RFID Tags

2 RFID is not new; with thousands of industrial installations in advanced manufacturing arenas such as the automotive, electronics, automated warehouses and pharmaceutical areas. ISO RFID standards insure a stable supply of products from many suppliers that conform to widely used communication protocols. ISO compliant tags and readers from a reliable source are the safe bet for complex automation projects. C Series (C C1007) Rugged, highly connected Cobalt C0405 RFID integrated controller/antenna bring fast and low cost RFID to the factory floor. The C0405 offers direct serial connectivity and network connectivity via the series of Gateways. Cobalt HF Controller Rugged, highly connected COBALT HF RFID systems provide easily integrated and economical solutions for Auto-ID on the factory floor. Dust and moisture protection assure years of reliable operation in harsh environments. Cobalt HF Antenna The Cobalt HF high performance Antennas can be used with any Cobalt HF controller model. The three square models, 1010 (100x100mm), 2020 (200x200mm) and 3030 (300x300mm) offer the maximum flexibility for the most different applications. Cobalt UHF Controller Rugged, highly connected COBALT UHF RFID systems provide easily integrated and economical solutions for auto-id on the factory floor. Dust and moisture protection assure years of reliable operation in harsh environments. Cobalt UHF Antenna Rugged, highly connected Cobalt UHF RFID Antennas and Controllers bring fast and low cost RFID to the factory floor with the \long-range advantage of UHF technology. The Cobalt series offers direct serial and network connectivity, as well as the convenience of the Subnet16 architecture. HF and UHF Tags (PCB, Encapsulated, High Temperature) The wide family of RFID tags with their unique design and manufacturing technology provides outstanding Auto ID solutions for demanding industrial environments. Hub Integrating RFID data into any Ethernet host including industrial Ethernet IP and Modbus TCP PLC's; the Hub communicates with up to four controllers on a Subnet 16 network. Gateway The RFID Gateway supports Subnet 16, a subnetwork of up to sixteen RFID controller/ antenna stations. Subnet16 thus concentrates many read/write devices into one convenient connection point for host networks in the factory or enterprise.

3 RFID System Definitions: Tags 2-32,000 bytes read/write data storage. Integrated Reader/Controller emits RF signal, detects and communicates to tags. Subnet16 Network up to 16 reader/ controllers on multi-drop network communicating through gateway to PLC/ Host. Gateway GWY or HUB network interface. Subnet16 Input Ethernet/Industrial Ethernet output. Handheld Reader attached or wireless handheld RFID reader Key things to look for in industrial RFID systems are: Connectivity can your factory host or PLC talk to the reader/controller? ISO standard air protocol? Performance does the reader/ controller communicate and operate fast enough? Integrated Antenna/Controller more reliable configuration eliminates analog communications errors. Reliability look for IP ratings equal to your environment. Is it designed for industrial use (as opposed to retail or commercial use)? Support Does the manufacturer have a track record of supporting industrial applications? RFID Applications: Suppliers of high speed, automated prescription pill dispensing equipment to the pharmaceutical industry rely on RFID. In the prescription pharmaceutical industry, nobody takes chances; they use Cobalt HF RFID systems to insure the right pill goes in the right bottle every time. RFID tags embedded in reusable pucks carry over 45,000 prescriptions each day through the latest automated pharmacy where RFID readers replaced barcode readers. Result: reliability up; errors down, costs down. The industry leading manufacturer of disk drives supplies products to virtually every computer in use today. They are unquestionably the best in low cost manufacturing of high tech parts for the consumer market. The disk drive industry relies on RFID systems to insure 100% traceability of every disc drive they build. Using small, embeddable large memory tags, disc drive manufacturers monitor every move their media makes as it travels within the manufacturing plant and to external processing partners. Data stored on RFID tags allows them to maintain control of their parts both in-house and at their processing partners for 100% product traceability.
