Technology Solutions TSL3117 and TSL3417 & TSL3419 RAIN RFID
Reader Module Developer Kit aids developers in exploring and testing the
capabilities of the TSL3117 and TSL3417 & TSL3419 RAIN RFID
Modules.
TSL3117 and TSL3417 & TSL3419 RAIN RFID Reader
Module Developer Kit - TSL have drawn upon years of industry leading
mobile RFID experience to design and manufacture a family of high
performance, energy efficient UHF RFID modules that can be easily
integrated into handheld/mobile/battery powered devices or small, fixed
reader applications.
These highly configurable and flexible
modules come with a range of RF modes to ensure optimal performance in
even the most challenging environments.
The compact and slim form
factor of these modules provide flexible mounting options, supported by
industry standard USB and serial UART port interfaces combined with
four configurable 3.3V I/O lines.
The 50 Ω MMCX Antenna Port(s)
provide the freedom to specify an antenna perfectly tuned to your unique
application. The class-leading 3117 and 3417/3419 RAIN RFID modules
support multiple RF modes including High Speed Tag Acquisition Mode,
High Sensitivity Mode and Dense Reader Mode (DRM). Software programmable
output power allows the conducted output to be configured in 0.1 dBm
steps from 1 – 32 dBm (1 mW – 1.58 W).
The next generation Impinj
E710 chip in the 3117 and 3417 sports cutting-edge hardware and the
latest anti-collision recognition algorithms, enabling read rates of ≥
1300 tags/s. The 3419 RAIN RFID Reader Module is our ultra
high-sensitivity, flagship model, sporting a top-end Impinj E910 reader
chip.
TSL’s STORM RFID protocol (a sophisticated, parameterised
set of commands that carry out multiple actions locally within the RFID
module) makes embedded integration a breeze, reducing time-to market and
development costs. Multiple complex tag commands can be stored across
10 memory banks and then executed by simple calls to each bank. This
approach enables complex tag operations to be executed using simple
pre-configured commands.
TSL provides the free, comprehensive
STORM Protocol SDK, allowing development in C, C# and Java languages on
platforms including .NET, Android, Windows and Linux.
