Introduction

The

BLUEBOX GEN2 M30 UHF

hereinafter named

BLUEBOX

is a little

(dimensions of the cylindrical case D30 mm x 90.65 mm) read/write RFID device
operating in the 840 MHz to 960 MHz frequency band and suitable for industrial

application. The

BLUEBOX

communicates with a ‘host’ system (typically a PC or

a PLC) through CAN bus communication interface with CANopen protocol (item

5227U) and acts as a joint through a set of commands between the host system
and a RFID tag present near the antenna. Through the CAN bus, it is also

possible to configure the functional parameters and to upgrade the firmware.
The

BLUEBOX

is equipped with an integrated RF antenna inside the case and

with a 5-poles M12 A-coded male connector.
