RFiD Modules
Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) enables wireless data transfer between a transponder and a mobile or stationary read/write device with antenna. Transponders feature a microchip combined with a coil/antenna encased within a small "tag" or "badge" typically made from plastic, glass, or other suitable material. The transponder may incorporate a battery, or be powered inductively by the radiated RF power from the read/write device. The following RFID modules are available for the i.roc x20 series:
RFx10-Ex/AD - RFID - 13.56MHz
