HF80 Transponder Reader – HSMS, Release 1.3
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 About this Device
The BROOKS Transponder Reader System is a 13.56 MHz high-
frequency identification system that uses FM transmission.
The basic item is a transponder that works as a forgery-proof electronic
identity disk.
The reading unit of the system sends an energy impulse via the
antenna. The capacitor of the passive, battery-free transponder is
charged by this impulse. After that, the transponder returns a signal
with the stored data.
The reading process needs less than 3 ms (communication between tag
and reader/antenna).
As a sight connection between the transponder and the reader is not
absolutely necessary, the transponder can also be identified through
non-metallic material.
The device communicates with the host via the TCP/IP interface with
HSMS protocol.
