Rockwell Automation 56RF RFID 18 mm Cylindrical Transceiver - Manual

Installation and Operating Instructions
Bulletin 56RF RFID 18 mm Cylindrical Transceiver
IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.
Description
The cylindrical M18 transceiver is designed for use with the
Allen-Bradley high frequency 13.56 MHz RFID system. This
transceiver is ISO 15693 compliant and can read/write ICODE
tags SLI and SL2, allowing infinite tag configuration options
from various manufacturers. Local LEDs allow for quick visual
diagnosis of module status and read/write status.
Cylindrical M18 transceivers are recommended for panel
mounting and for use with tags with a diameter of 10…50 mm.
Transceivers can be mounted up to 91.4 m (300 ft) away from
the interface module, and tags are readable from distances up
to 2.2 in. (55 mm). This transceiver has an enclosure rating of
IP67 and is designed to withstand harsh industrial
environments.
