When the job calls for seamless wireless communication between RF devices, turn to this transponder from Siemens. It combines the functions of a transmitter and receiver into a single convenient card tag. This helps with monitoring, identification and management of processes in applications that use RF technologies. The FUJITSU MB89R118 chip inside the card works with units from the RF200, RF300 and MOBY D series. It emits and receives RF signals at distances of up to 650mm depending on your reader, so it's handy for short-range to mid-range tasks. This transponder is a practical pick for use with object-tracking sensors in the industrial automation and supply chain fields.

• As a passive RFID tag, it delivers a long service life with no need to change batteries
• Fast data transfer rates of 26.5kbps, so you can expect efficient performance
• IP67 rating indicates it's dustproof and resistant to submersion in up to 1m of water for half an hour

The device comes with 2kB of FRAM memory for storing RFID data. As this type of memory is non-volatile, supports ultra-fast writing and has the endurance to handle multiple read-write operations, it's a great shout for busy industrial processes.
