IDEC KW2D Series Smart RFID Readers

KW2D from IDEC Corporation is a series of smart radio frequency identification (RFID) readers. They are designed for easy installation into the typical 22mm panel-mount holes used with machinery, are readily integrated with automation systems, and allow OEMs and end users to apply advanced authentication and authorization measures.RFID readers

Access management also provides traceability for regulatory and analytical purposes. RFID cards and tags are simple and inexpensive to manage, secure, contactless, and robust for industrial environments—while providing flexible ways to configure, manage, and modify privileges.

IDEC provides the Windows-based RFID configuration software tool free of charge, so users can set up the reader IP address, Modbus TCP server details, tag information, and passwords. Users can take advantage of default authorization levels, or they can customize up to 500 tags with up to 255 authority levels. Configurations can be quickly modified, and lost tags can be blocked.
