RFID UHF 16-channel Reader F5816

The high-performance 16-channel F5816 is an industrial-grade UHF RFID reader suitable for complex working conditions and harsh environments. The F5816 has powerful radio frequency functions, 16 antennas are polled at high speed, and the power and time can be configured individually to meet different coverage requirements. The maximum output power is 30dBm, the sensitivity is -82dBm, and it fully supports the EPC global UHF Class1 GEN2/ISO 18000-6C air interface protocol. Up to 0-20 meters, multi-tag reading can reach more than 400tags/s, and its working area can cover China, Taiwan, the United States, Europe, South Korea, Japan, etc.

Based on the new generation of ARM-COTEXM3 processor, F5816 adopts industrial-grade design, and adds related functions such as external watchdog circuit, heartbeat packet, real-time monitoring of device status, etc., with good stability. At the same time, based on the 10-year experience in the RFID hardware industry of Xunyuan Technology, a large number of project application requirements are pre-realized inside the reader, reducing the amount of customer application software development, and the project implementation is more convenient and fast.

The reader has built-in multiple tag reading modes such as master-slave mode, automatic mode, and channel door mode, and has optimized functions for environments such as automated assembly lines, barrier-free RFID channels, warehouses, and automatic inventory cabinets. At the same time, the environment for simultaneous application of more than 100 readers is optimized to support a large number of readers to work simultaneously and run stably.

The F5816 reader adopts an all-aluminum alloy shell design, which has strong anti-interference ability and can work continuously and stably for a long time in harsh environments. The product reader is mainly oriented to the Internet of Things industry that requires high performance and stability, including warehousing and logistics management, clothing industry, personnel entry and exit management, etc.

  • Introduction
  • Specification
  • Appearance
  1. A new generation of high-performance ARM-COTEXM3 processor, the product function is more powerful, built-in master-slave mode, automatic mode, 2) channel door mode, more scalable, can meet more customer needs;
  2. Using industrial-grade chip design, and adding an external watchdog circuit to improve product reliability;
  3. Excellent performance, with 8dBi antenna to read a single tag can reach more than 28 meters (related to tag type, transmission power and application environment);
  4. Integrates the functions of network port, Mini USB, RS485, WIFI (optional), and integrates rich communication interfaces, which is convenient for users to choose the appropriate interface for connection and use. The Mini USB interface can be connected at any time, which is convenient for configuring device parameters. If the two communication ports of the serial port and the network port are connected normally, the same label data can be read at the same time. If the network is not connected successfully, data can be transmitted through the serial port;
  5. When the original network port connection is disconnected, it has the device buzzer alarm failure reminder function, and the indicator light is designed with a flashing alarm function;
  6. The device is designed with 6 IO ports (4 outputs and 2 inputs) for user expansion and application: 2 input IO ports can be set to trigger and read EPC, can set high/low level trigger, reverse stop; or can set after trigger After working hours, it will stop automatically. The card reading method can be set to read only one card and then stop or read continuously;
  7. The radio frequency part adopts carrier suppression technology, which has strong anti-interference ability;
  8. Provide a full-featured software development kit (SDK) and interface (API), which is convenient for users to carry out integrated development of software;
  9. Provide easy-to-operate server software for quick use and configuration of our equipment;
  10. Using ultra-high isolation technology, it perfectly solves the problem of serial reading between ports.
