DEC Corp. has introduced the KW2D series of smart radio frequency identification (RFID) readers. These intelligent RFID readers are designed for easy installation into the typical 22mm panel-mount holes used with machinery, are readily integrated with automation systems, and enable OEMs and end users to apply advanced authentication and authorization measures.

The IDEC KW2D series RFID readers maintain IP65/67 water-, dust-, and oil-proof ratings, and feature push-in power supply terminals. A built-in Ethernet port facilitates connectivity to host devices like PLCs and HMIs using Modbus TCP.
