Accessory Board Configuration
Introduction
This document describes the ThingMagic M5e Module Accessory hardware and how to
configure them for use with the M5e Embedded Module. These accessories are primarily
designed for use with the M5e Module but can also be used with the M5e-Compact
(except the heatsink) with minor modifications to the instructions.
These accessories allow developers to quickly create prototypes and products to meet a
wide variety of applications.
The
4 Port Multiplexer Board
allows one M5e module to support up to 8 ports (using
two multiplexers); compatible with M5e antenna detection and search algorithms.
The
Power/Interface Board
converts the M5e serial interface to high speed USB and
conditions incoming DC power to support in-vehicle or AC powered applications.
The M5e heatsink allows use of the M5e module in environments where continuous
reading or high ambient temperatures are required.
The optional hardware
Accessory Parts Kit
contains suf
fi
cient interconnect cables and
mounting/spacing hardware to create an 8-port reader “stack”.
