Buyer's notes

How to choose industrial hf readers

Industrial HF heads differ from bare modules because the housing, connector and installation envelope are defined. The IH range includes cylindrical and square heads with M12 connections, plus a networked reader. Product records list IP67, but operating temperature and read distance still vary by model.

The heads use RS485 Modbus RTU, while IH-110 adds Ethernet and Modbus TCP alongside other listed interfaces. Verify register definitions, command timing and how the host handles missing tags or failed writes. A shared Modbus name does not replace a review of the data map.

Match ISO/IEC 15693 or ISO/IEC 14443A tags to the selected head and test the actual mounting gap. Keep nearby metal and moving equipment in the evaluation. Asset and tool tracking provides application context for choosing tags and recording read events.

Frequently asked questions

Can an industrial HF head read UHF asset tags?

No. These IH products operate at 13.56 MHz with their listed HF protocols. Use matching HF tags.

Which product provides Ethernet and Modbus TCP?

IH-110 lists Ethernet with Modbus TCP. The other listed heads use RS485 Modbus RTU.

Is the stated range independent of tag size?

No. Product records describe tag-dependent ranges and, in some cases, a reference tag. Test the intended tag at the installed gap and orientation.
