1 Introduction
The BLUEBOX GEN2 ADVANT UHF hereinafter named BLUEBOX is a
read/write RFID device for industrial application that communicates with a ‘host’
system (typically a PC or a PLC) through a RS232/RS485 serial line (items
5221U, 5221U-S, 5237U, 5237U-S, 5231U) or through an 10-100M Ethernet
connection (items 5222U, 5222U-S, 5238U, 5238U-S , 5232U) or through a
ProfiBus connection (items 5223U, 5223U-S, 5239U, 5239U-S, 5233U) or
through a MODBUS/TCP connection (items 5222U-MB-S, 5238U-MB-S, 5232U-
MB). The BLUEBOX acts as a joint through a set of commands between the host
system and the RFID tag/s (or transponder/s) present near the antenna/s. The
same 'master/slave' protocol is used for the communication between the host
system (‘master’) and the BLUEBOX (‘slave’), independently of the kind of
connection (point to point, multidrop net, Ethernet). An USB connection, working
as Virtual COM, is also available and used as service interface port to configure
the functional parameters and to update the firmware of the device, the
‘BLUEBOX Show’ software of the SDK is foreseen to explicate these operations.
Furthermore the BLUEBOX is able to handle 2 channels of digital I/O; each
channel can be used as output to drive a low side load or as input either driven
by a ‘PNP’ output or by a ‘clean’ contact. Warning, when the I/O is used as input,
do not use it also as output to avoid conflicts! The BLUEBOX is available with
external RF antenna/s (1 antenna: items 5237U, 5238U, 5239U, 5237U-S,
5238U-S, 5239U-S, 5238U-MB-S, up to 4 antennas: items 5231U, 5232U,
5233U, 5232U-MB) or with integrated RF antenna inside the device (items
5221U, 5222U, 5223U, 5221U-S, 5222U-S, 5223U-S, 5222U-MB-S).
