As we all know, RFID reader is usually composed of reader and antenna. Most of the RFID reader is connect and communicat by RJ45 and RS232 interfaces. The RFID reader usually used in fixed places is large. When RFID technology becomes more and more mature, can it become an alternative to NFC technology? With the advancement of science and technology, the integration of electronic components is getting higher and higher, and RFID readers can also become lightweight and portable, and the performance is stable and reliable.
Let’s get it CK-BA7 – Newest, Thinnest UHF RFID reader.
CK-BA7 RFID Reader and Accessories
RFID Reader Device
CK-BA7 is made of aluminum alloy, so wear-resistant and fall-resistant. With magnetic function. The product integrates a circularly polarized antenna (18dBi adjustable) with a reading distance of up to 30cm and a write distance of up to 10cm. The product adopts USB Type-C communication connection, and can easily communicate with windows/Android system devices through software App or computer SDK Demo, etc., to achieve more function expansion and application development.
USB Type-C to C Cable * 1 , USB Type-C to C Adapter * 1
CK-BA7 UHF RFID Reader Basic Use
Device Connection
Connect the CK-BA7 RFID device to your Android phone by USB Type-C, open the installed “RFID Reader” app, then click “My”, and select the corresponding protocol in “TagProtocol”. Then go back to the app main page and select “USB” to connect successfully. RFID devices can also connect to Windows system devices via Cykeo Demo.
Inventory&Write Function
Inventory
Click “Inventory&Write” in the main interface to enter the “Inventory” ready-to-read interface, and click “Inventory” to read the RFID Tags. When the UHF frequency tag is read, an audible reminder is issued.
Bind
Use “SelectTag” to select a single tag to bind the tag to the device, note that “ClearBinding” clears all bound tags.
Find
Click “Scan” on the “Find” page to search for the tags that have been memorized and bound, and send an audible reminder when you find them. This feature allows users to quickly and accurately find a tag item in a stack of items.
Write
In the “Write” interface, the WriteArea can be used to Write, Lock, Kill to operate and set the RFID tag, and more modifications can be made to the RFID tag information.
Write: Write the card by selecting the write area, address, password, and write content
Lock: Tag lock by selecting the lock area, lock type, access password. Note: Before locking, write the password in the password area before locking.
Kill: Before the tag is activated, the password must be written in the inactivation password area and then the inactivation is executed
Note: If the EPC is modified for the inventory tags, need to re-inventory and then specify the tags to write the card, otherwise the tags that do not exist will be matched.
Setting
More settings for tag reading and reading interface information display.
RFID Configure
Click “RFIDConfigure” on the main interface, you will see “EPC Base Param”, “WorkFrequency”, “Autoldle”, “AntPower”, “UploaParam”, “GBBaseParam”, “GJBBaseParam”, “ResidenceTime” various options to customize settings.
EPC Base Param: Provides 13 options for users to choose the appropriate settings for different usage environments
Work Frequency: Provide 10 working frequency bands in different regions, including:
AntPower: Adjust the power of the antenna, 0- 18dBi
UploaParam: Customize the filtering time and RSSI thresholds
GBBaseParam: Custom parameters for the GB protocol
GJBBaseParam: Custom parameter settings for the GJB protocol
ResidenceTime: Customize the dwell time of antenna and frequency radio signals
