Technical Information

Supports a wide range of communication methods 

  • LAN and serial interfaces plus DIO.
  • Capable of receiving digital inputs from sensors and digital outputs to peripheral devices.
  • Number of antenna ports: 4. 

 

Flexible DIO collaboration 

  • For each of the four digital inputs, it is possible to set which antenna is used and how many radio outputs are used. This allows a variety of readings to be made depending on the situation. (In autonomous trigger mode) 
  • Supports LAN connections (socket and HTTP/HTTPS communication) 
  • HTTP/HTTPS communication supports the GET and POST request methods and the JSON method. 

 

Compact,  space saving, PoE compatible, choice of antennas 

  • Compact size and PoE compatible.
  • The antenna can also be changed to suit your needs, providing a highly flexible installation.
  • A variety of connector configurations can be selected to suit the application. 

 

High robustness and reliability 

  • Robust design to withstand hard industrial applications.
  • Operating temperature -20 to +55°C for use in cold to hot environments.
  • Supports RS-232C communication and wired LAN.
  • Ideal for use in production environments where ruggedness and reliability are required. 

 

PLC link function 

  • The PLC Link function writes the IC tag data to memory in the PLC simply by setting it up.
  • There is no need to set up a ladder to send complex commands.
  • A trigger from the PLC or a sensor etc. is used to trigger the reading detection of the IC tag, and the IC tag data is written to the specified address in the PLC. 

 

WEB configuration function 

  • Various settings can be configured using a web browser such as Chrome or Edge.
  • It is also possible to import/export settings such as data destination, transmission protocol, read operation settings, digital input/output, antenna port, radio output, radio channel, own IP address, DNS and default GW. 

 

LEDs and function keys 

  • Equipped with a status LED display and function keys with various functions. Speeds up development work. 
  • Antenna LED to indicate which antenna is currently being read. 
  • RSSI LED indicates the RSSI value of the IC tag being read (RSSI: received signal strength from the IC tag). 
  • Function keys: During system development and setting, the F1 key can be used instead of the sensor to test the trigger input. (in trigger mode/PLC mode). 

 

Data storage functions  

  • During initial installation verification, it is often necessary to temporarily install the unit on site to see how data can be collected.
  • With the MRU series, data can be stored in the unit’s internal memory alone, without the need for a PC, etc., and the data files can be retrieved for verification at a later date, useful during development and customisation.

 

Configuration file import/export 

  • Various settings can be imported/exported as a configuration file. This makes it easy to copy settings and set up alternate machines in the event of a failure.
