QuasarMX HF Short-Range RFID Reader

  • High Reading-/Writing Speed
  • Ethernet-Interface
  • ISO15693 compatible

22000036

The QuasarMX is an HF RFID reader for demanding industrial applications that require high read reliability, speed and extensive special functions.

Highlights include a read rate of up to 100 tag IDs per second and the ability to read and write data on tags in bulk mode (without having to read the tag ID first). This allows the reader to be used directly on a conveyor belt, in a production plant or even in a control cabinet. In addition, the QuasarMX can read and write NFC Type 5 chips (ISO 15693).

To simplify integration into machines and control via PLCs, the device works with 24V inputs/outputs.

For integration into Windows-based IT systems, a free DLL for controlling the device is available, as well as demo software with a comprehensive feature set to test all capabilities of the device. There is also a Java SDK for integration on any operating system.
