Aside from configuring the RFID network equipment, the first step in most RFID applications involves attaching a tag (which is

also called a “transponder”) to a product or its carrier. The RFID tag acts as an electronic identifier, portable job sheet, or real-time tracking database. Tags can be identified, read from and written to by issuing specific RFID commands from a Host computer or PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).

The HS500E can transmit data through any nonconductive, non-metallic material, while the tag is moving or standing still and while it is in or out of the direct line of sight.
