Tag-it HFI-Plus Cards

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TRF7964A, TRF7970A
Hello,
We are a manufacturer of charging stations for EV and have an RFID-reader inside. A potential client of ours already uses the Tag-it HFO-Plus cards in his Hotels. And wants to use this as well for the charging stations that should be installed.
Our RFID-reader does not respond to your cards. We can read: 

MIFARE Ultralight®, NTAG203, MIFARE Mini, MIFARE Classic® 1K, MIFARE Classic® 4K, FM11RF08 

What possibilities do I have?
Can someone answer also another questions:
- do you know if there are other charging stations (from for instance Keba), that use an RFID-reader that can read the Tag-it HFO-Plus?
- what are the requirements to have our reader communicate with the Tag-it HFI-Plus?

Thank you!

Hans 

  • Hello Hans,

    Our Tag-It HF-I Plus transponders use ISO15693 technology for communication. Support of fundamental ISO15693 commands such as Inventory, Read and Write Single Block, and other functions which your end customer would like to implement in their system would be the basic requirements. If your RFID Reader only handles ISO14443A then it either doesn't support ISO15693 at a chip level (quite possible, single protocol chips are common esp. for ISO14443A) or you may need to enable that functionality via software.

    I don't know what readers other charging station use, and even if I did it wouldn't necessary be okay for me to disclose that anyways.

    Customers evaluating our tags typically also use our transceiver, the TRF7970A (or TRF7964A for Reader/Writer only as the 70A supports NFC modes like Peer to Peer and Card Emulation) as part of the evaluation, you can check our FAQ guide for basic details of these devices including recommended evaluation hardware and software: http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/sloa246
