The e*Tag® series of high frequency RFID readers and reader/writers
utilize 13.56 MHz, a worldwide standard for radio-frequency
identification applications. Designed to work with Tag-It™
transponders from Texas Instruments, e*Tag® units can read
multiple transponders in a field. e*Tag® reader/writers
are available with an integral antenna, capable of reading transponders
up to seven inches away. e*Tag® units are also available
with a 50-ohm interface for use with custom antennas. e*Tag®
reader/writers can also write and lock data on transponders.
Each Tag-It™ transponder has 256 bits of available user-defined
memory.
e*Tag® products support totally open architecture applications.
Readers and reader/writers are available with RS-232 and TTL
interfaces. e*Tag® Host software is available to demonstrate
the host-client command structure and assist systems integrators
and OEMs in designing custom applications. Secura Key also offers
a line of e*Tag® transponders packaged as credit-sized cards
and key ring tags. Custom transponder packaging and four-color
graphics are available. |

Up to 6” Read Distance •
Patented Dynascan®* Technology •
Up to 100 Readers Per Two-Wire Bus
Radio Key® RK-XRM and RK-XRS are proximity card readers
that tap the potential of RS-485 communications. Up to 100 units
can be connected via RS-485 to a PC for a host-validated system.
When a proximity card is placed close to the reader, that card’s
ID number is sent in ASCII format to the host. The card ID can
be up to 64 bits, allowing for a virtually unlimited number
of cards. RK-XRM and RK-XRS are designed to work with custom
software applications developed by original equipment manufacturers
and systems integrators. Access control, fuel management, data
retrieval and many other RFID applications are possible. An
evaluation kit, complete with demonstration software, is available
to those who would like to explore the product’s capabilities.
For software developers who wish to write an application, an
API license is also available.
The RK-XRM and RK-XRS have two user-configured general purpose
inputs and a bi-color LED (Red and Green). A solid-state relay
is also provided. If so programmed, this relay can either
open or close a circuit upon receiving a command from the
host PC. The relay is rated at 1 Amp and 60 VAC/VDC. Card
IDs, input signals, relay commands and LED operation for all
readers are communicated over a common pair of wires. Installation
of the readers is very easy. Two screws mount the RK-XRM to
a mullion, masonry wall, post or almost any surface. The RK-XRS
can also be mounted to a single-gang electrical box. The readers
are fully potted for extreme weather-resistance. Patented
Dynascan®* technology tunes the reader to the environment
for maximum performance at all times.
