It has the ability to both read and write up to 256 bytes of data in addition to reading the unique identifier (UID). All of the DLP-RFID1s electronics and antenna reside within the compact unit, and all operational power is taken from the host PC via the USB interface. The range of the internal antenna is up to 4 inches depending upon the size of the tag being read. Rev 1.6 (May 2019) 1 DLP Design, Inc. 2.0 RFID BASICS RFID stands for Radio Frequency IDentification. It is an electronic technology whereby digital data encoded in an RFID Tag (or transponder) is retrieved utilizing a reader. In contrast to bar code technology, RFID systems do not require line-of-sight access to the tag in order to retrieve the tags data, and they are well suited to harsh environments. An RFID tag consists of an integrated circuit attached to an antenna. In the case of the tags used with the DLP-RFID1, the antenna is in the form of conductive ink printed on a material that allows for connection to the integrated circuit. This type of passive (battery-free) tag is commonly referred to as an inlay. The RFID reader (or interrogator) is typically a microcontroller-based radio transceiver that powers the tag with a time-varying electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) field. When the RF field passes through the tags antenna, AC voltage is generated in the antenna and rectified to supply power to the tag. Once powered, the tag can receive commands from the reader. The information stored in the tag can then be read by the reader and sent back to the host PC for processing. The data in the tag consists of a hard-coded, permanent serial number (or UID) and user memory that can be written to, read from and locked if desired. Once locked, user data can still be read but not changed. 3.0 SPECIFICATIONS Reader Frequency 13.56MHz Output Power 200mW MAX Range (Integral Antenna) 4 Inches MAX Tags/Protocols Supported Tag-It*, ISO15693 Communications Interface USB 1.1/2.0 Compatible, Mini-B 5-Pin Connector Operational Power Active 120mA Operational Power Idle 15mA Antenna On-Board Antenna, SMA Position Available** Most current versions of Windows USB Driver Support Physical Dimensions OEM PCB: .20x2.17x3.12 typ.
