The FEIG family of RFID devices includes modules,
fixed readers, and antennas. FEIG combines a sturdy,
stable hardware design with frequently updated hardware
and software. Free software and training materials,
available upon purchase, shows the capability of the
readers and the low level messages needed to implement
that functionality. Development kits for C# and C++
are available under NDA.
In GlueLogix designs, FEIG technology is used to provide a
consistent software interface across UHF and HF, including
most standard HF protocols. FEIG has a broad and
deep offering. The devices shown here are the most
often used in GlueLogix designs for Label, Card and
Plastics companies. If you need a different FEIG device,
please contact
us for a quote.
Unless otherwise noted, all UHF hardware works only
with UHF Gen2 chips.
The MU02 is an
inexpensive and versatile reader-encoder for EPC
Class 1 Generation 2 chips. In GlueLogix
designs, MU02 is used for near field read and
encode of tags on the production line. It
has also been deployed as a narrow portal reader.
Features:
UHF Gen2 aka. ISO18000-6C
Frequency range is 860-928 MHz
Inventories in 70 mS with one or a few tags
USB models are Full Speed and Bus Powered
with composite device endpoints, requiring
Feig DLLs for interface
TTL RS232 models are 4800 to 230400 baud
3 transmit power settings: 170 mW (22 dbm)
down to about 10 mW (10 dbm)
Power consumption max. 2 W
CE Mark is Class 2
FCC ID PJMMU02
2 U.FL antenna ports, software selected
5VDC supply
Conforms to the common footprint of the GlueLogix
HF Reader Case but requires custom
antenna connections.
Special Features:
Scan Mode
Variants:
ID ISC.MU02.02-AD UHF Reader Module (RS232,
Data Clock)
ID ISC.MU02.02-CU UHF Reader Module
(RS232-LVTTL/USB)
This is the bare
board version of the fixed MRU02 shown
below. It has higher power and sensitivity
than the MU02, and is classed by FEIG as a Medium
Range reader.
Features:
UHF Gen2 aka. ISO18000-6C
Frequency range is 860-960 MHz
Inventories in 70 mS with one or a few tags
USB is Full Speed with composite device
endpoints, requiring Feig DLLs for interface
USB connector is full size B for use with
standard cables
RS232 is 4800 to 230400 baud
6 transmit power settings: 500 mW (27
dbm) down to 50 mW (17 dbm)
Power consumption max. 7 W
CE Mark is Class 2
FCC ID PJMMRU102
3 SMA antenna ports, software selected
1 on board near field antenna, software
selected
12 to 24 VDC supply. External power is
required for USB.
FEIG model:
ID ISC.MRMU102-A UHF Reader Module
(RS232-DB9S, USB-B)
The GlueLogix HF
Reader Case can be modified to support the MU02
module, allowing it to function as a fixed RFID
reader with two rugged SMA connections. The case requires 1 hour customization to
support MU02.
Features:
Serial
communications, power and SMA antenna interfaces
for Feig HF RFID modules in a compact case.
Antenna
connection: SMA Female to EXTERNAL antenna
Communication
connection: DB9S, DCE (TX pin 2, RX pin 3, COM
pin 5). Tested with Digi Edgeport,
Prolific and FT232 USB-Serial adapters.
Power:
9-24V AC or DC. DC can be + or -
tip. Power jack is 2.1 mm post.
Power can optionally be fed on pins 1 and 9 of
the DB9 connector, compatible with Feig MR100.
