M6E

UHF RFID Module Family Performance, Efficiency, and Flexibility Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is rapidly growing from a vertically-oriented technology to an integrated element of critical business processes. At ThingMagic, a Division of Trimble, we believe that RFID-enabled products and solutions will fundamentally change the way we interact with the physical world. By embedding RFID and sensing technology into everyday products, productivity can be improved and inefficiencies can be reduced across nearly every market imaginable. Hundreds of companies from printer and handheld manufacturers, to asset tracking, supply chain, healthcare andtransportation organizations are using ThingMagic embedded RFID modules to drive innovation and benet frombusiness process improvement.Using an RFID module, as opposed to creating a reader with discrete components or a chip and reference design, provides developers with significant advantages. ThingMagic modules are designed to meet performance demands, are market proven, and have been fully tested and certified for regional use – reducing time to market and overall system costs. Mercury® 6e Series High Performance Multi-Protocol Embedded UHF RFID Modules The 2-port Micro and Micro-LTE deliver the form factor, efficiency, RF power, and flexibility needed to embed UHF RFID in your best-in-class portable and hand held applications. The Micro reads 750 tags/second and the Micro-LTE is optimized for applications with small populations and reads 50 tags/second. The low power consumption of both modules fits battery operated applications and wider RF output range (-5 dBm to +30 dBm) is a key requirement for RFID enabled printers, tag commissioning stations, and point of sales readers. Edge connections allow the Micro and Micro-LTE to be soldered directly to a motherboard as a standard component. The on-board connectors allow the module to be mated to a motherboard.The 4-port M6e will meet or exceed the performance requirements of the most demanding fixed position multi-antenna reader applications, delivering the highest read rate and RF power. The M6e will transmit up to +31.5 dBm and can read more than 750 tags/seconds. This performance makes M6e the ideal RFID engine for challenging applications like race timing, portals with long cable runs, and conveyors requiring multiple antennas. The M6e has both serial and USB inter-faces to support both board-to-board and board-to-host connectivity. Mercury®5e Embedded UHF RFID Modules The 2-port M5e is designed for adding UHF RFID read/write capabilities to a wide range of products and solutions, from high-speed label printing and inlay testing, to stationary, mobile, and handheld computers. The M5e will transmit up to +30 dBm. The single-port Compact is ideal for adding basic UHF RFID read/write capabilities to table top printers, battery-powered mobile printers, and handheld readers. The Compact will transmit up to +23 dBm and is the right choice for applications where small size, low cost, and low power consumption are essential and where the higher RF power and high tag read rate and advanced anti-jamming capabilities are not required. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FEATURES SUMMARY MERCURY5E SERIES MERCURY6E SERIES M6e Micro Micro-LTE M5e Compact Dimensions 69 mm L x 43 mm W x 7.5 mm H (2.7 in L by 1.7 in W by 0.3 inches H) 46 mm L x 26 mm W x 4.0 mm H (1.8 in L x 1.0 in W x 0.16 in H) 82 mm L x 54 mm W x 5 mm H (3.23 in L by 2.13 in W by 0.20 in H) 56 mm L x 36 mm W x 5 mm H (2.2 in L x 1.4 in W x 0.2 in H) RFID Protocol Support EPCglobal Gen 2 (ISO 180006C) with DRM; ISO 18000-6B and IP-X optional EPCglobal Gen 2 (ISO 180006C) with DRM; ISO 18000-6B and IP-X optional EPCglobal Gen 2 (ISO 18000-6C) with DRM EPCglobal Gen 2 (ISO 180006C) with DRM Antenna Connector Four 50 Ohm MMCX connectors supporting four monostatic antennas Two 50 Ohm connections (board-edge or U.FL) support ing two monostatic antennas Two MMCX connectors support ing two monostatic antennas or one bistatic antenna MMCX connector supporting one monostatic antenna RF Power Output Separate read and write levels, command adjustable from 5 dBm to 31.5 dBm (1.4W) with +/-0.5 dBm accuracy above +15 dBm1 Separate read and write levels, commanded adjustable from -5 dBm to 30 dBm in 0.5 dB steps, accurate to +/- 1 dBm3 Separate read and write levels, command adjustable from 5 dBm to 30 dBm (1 W), +/- 1.0 dBm accuracy1 Separate read and write levels, command adjustable from 10 dBm to 23 dBm (200mW), +/- 1.0 dBm accuracy1 Regulatory Pre-configured for the follow ing regions: FCC (NA, SA), ETSI (EU, India), TRAI (India), KCC (Korea), ACMA (Australia), SRRC-MII (P.R.China), ‘Open’ (Customizable) 865-869 MHz and 902-928 MHz Pre-configured for the following regions: FCC (NA, SA), ETSI (EU, India), TRAI (India), KCC (Korea), ACMA (Australia), SRPC-MII (P.R.
