The SICK RFH5xx Series RFID Reader is the ideal solution for machines and systems in closed production and logistics processes in which objects have to be identified in tight spaces. The clearly defined detection ranges of these HF write/read devices enable reliable singulation of transponders, even at very small object distances (less than 35mm). In addition, the small designs of the RFH5xx offer a solution for a wide range of installation situations. Devices can also be integrated into a variety of control systems via the IO-Link interface. The COM3 transmission protocol paired with the process data size (32 bytes), can easily support extensive reading and writing tasks.

Applications
