About Allen-Bradley Intelligent Antenna Communications

The Allen-Bradley Intelligent Antenna Communications enabler uses the computer's local serial ports, or a remote terminal server to communicate with Allen-Bradley Intelligent Antenna devices.

The Allen-Bradley 2750-AS series antenna is one component of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system. Antennas collect information from RF tags attached to objects. There are three basic types of RF tags:

Read Only Tags

Read/Write Tags

Programmable Tags.

The Allen-Bradley Intelligent Antenna Communications enabler supports read access to the byte addressable memory of the all three RF Tag types (2-8K bytes of data depending on model). It can also write to the Read/Write Tags and the Programmable Tags. The Program Tag transaction is not supported.

The Allen-Bradley Intelligent Antenna Communications enabler also supports the automatic download of antenna setup parameters during startup and re-establishment of communications. The setup parameters are configurable for each individual device (antenna).
