(dimensions of the cylindrical case D30 mm x 90.65 mm) read/write RFID device
operating in the 840 MHz to 960 MHz frequency band and suitable for industrial
application. The BLUEBOX communicates with a 'host' system (typically a PC or
a PLC) through CAN bus communication interface with CANopen protocol (item

and a RFID tag present near the antenna. Through the CAN bus, it is also
possible to configure the functional parameters and to upgrade the firmware.
The BLUEBOX is equipped with an integrated RF antenna inside the case and
with a 5-poles M12 A-coded male connector.
