RF430CL330H: Define a RFID system according to specs of my application.

Part Number: RF430CL330H

I have a project whereby I need a RFID reader that reads a single ID tag and following the pole (read) from the controller through an RS 232 port. The reader can delete the read once disclosed to the controller. I also have the capability to used Modbus TCP/IP, Devicenet, or CanOpen communications.

The tags that it will read are more than 10 meters apart.

It doesn't have to retain a number of reads but must read within at least two meters from the tag (Before directly over to after directly over) at 60 MPH at a distance on the same plane as the tag of two to three inches.

The data that it will read is a single 16 bit word. If a larger antennae is required I have a 22" X 30" X 3/4" space to put it in that would reduce the planar distance considerably.

The power source should be a multiple of 3.2 Vdc but I can regulate it down to 5Vdc if necessary.

Do you have a kit that would satisfy these requirements?

If you could recommend a flat  3/32" maximum thickness preferable passive tag that could fit in a 24" X Infinity space and be laminated onto a non conductive flat substrate. We might be able to router a bit of the thickness of the substrate to accommodate a thicker tag.  

Also, I would very much like to be able to set the value of the tags that would most likely be suited for this application so a read write is preferable..

  • Hello Byron,

    I think NFC is no option, as the achievable communication distance is typically in the range up to 2" (50mm).

    UHF or BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) would meet the distance requirement, but I'm not sure about the latency with the 60 MPH pass by. Maybe a BLE beacon system with optimized interval time would be sufficient and meet the latency requirement.

    If you are interested, please read this Application Note (SWRA475) for more information about Bluetooth low energy beacons.

    A suitable entry level BLE device for this purpose would be the CC2640R2L.

    Let me know if you have further questions.

    Best regards,

    Andreas.
