5.1 Function
5.1.1 General
The BROOKS RFID reader system is a radio-frequency identification
system.
The reader of the system sends an electromagnetic field to the battery-free
transponder via the antenna. This activates the transponder and sends the
stored data back to the reader.
The total reading cycle takes less than 100 ms.
Since a sight connection between the transponder and the reader is not
absolutely necessary, the transponder can also be identified through non-
metallic material.
The data received by the RFID reader is transmitted to the RFID CAN
Gateway via:
