Brooks Automation High-Frequency RFID Transponder Reader
About this part
HF80 is a Brooks Automation high-frequency RFID transponder reader used for industrial and semiconductor automation identification workflows. The Brooks HF80 HSMS manual describes the reader system as a 13.56 MHz high-frequency identification system using FM transmission, passive battery-free transponders, host communication over TCP/IP with HSMS protocol, and installation/operation coverage for RS232/Ethernet reader hardware. Sonisys auction history also includes observed THG-R3MM-2000-T5-0000 midrange HF80 and THG-P3DM-2O00-F5-0000 5-port Profibus HF80 configurations
Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.
