F192-UHF Read/Write Head for Large Detection Ranges

UHF read/write heads from Pepperl+Fuchs function reliably even under harsh ambient conditions, while still offering a high level of flexibility.The F190 UHF read/write head has been a hit on the market for two years now. The device is designed to be the ideal solution to potentially problematic applications where the installation space is limited and for which read distances of 1 m to 2 m are sufficient. It is precisely these functions that are increasingly in demand within the framework of Industry 4.0—a development stage that requires identification as early as during production processes and not after products have been completed in the subsequent logistics chain, as was the case previously.

The F192 is supplementing the product family with its outstanding properties to also cover logistics applications in the future and achieve read distances in excess of 2 m. Building on the proven F190 RFID read/write head, and offering a detection range of up to six meters, the F192 is ideally suited for applications involving large distances. The device can read and write up to 200 tags simultaneously, enabling a particularly fast throughput and in turn increasing productivity.

Whether in the automotive industry, intralogistics, or transportation, the UHF read/write heads function reliably even in difficult conditions and at high temperatures depending on the required detection range. What's more, the devices also offer a high level of flexibility: The antenna polarization for reliable tag detection can be manually set horizontally or vertically, or switched fully automatically for each read/write access, depending on the application.

Both devices in the product family have IP67 degree of protection and feature a stable metal base. A further significant plus point is the possibility of enabling the read/write heads to be used in every country. The devices are provided with the respective country-specific parameters, such as maximum transmission power or used frequency bands. This feature simplifies system integration considerably. Both series feature a highly visible LED display, which facilitates status control in the field—even from long distances.
