BLUEBOX Gen.2 HFM
Page 6 of 37
An USB connection, working as virtual com, is also available on the
BLUEBOX
and is principally used as service port to configure the operating parameters
and to update the firmware of the device, the ‘
BLUEBOX
show’ program 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 1 external RF antenna (item 5233HM).
Compared to the
BLUEBOX
GEN2 INDUSTRIAL HF SR
device (item 5233H),
the
BLUEBOX
GEN2 INDUSTRIAL HF MR
device (item 5233HM) differs for
the following reasons:
•
increased RF power which leads to higher performance in terms of
read/write distance;
•
only the ISO 15693 transponders are supported;
•
specific 50 ohm antennas with an IP65 industrial TNC connector have to
be used;
•
ability to set the RF power level and mode of communication
transponder/reader (ASK with 1 subcarrier / FSK with 2 subcarriers).
