RF IDeas WAVE ID Plus Keystroke RA FactoryTalk V2 zwart opbouwlezer

RFID proximity card reader with dual-frequency support for 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz credentials, delivering keystroke emulation over USB for seamless integration with Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk environments. Its surface-mount design and black ABS housing make it a discreet yet durable addition to industrial workstations.

Advantages

Supports a broad range of card technologies including HID Prox, iCLASS, MIFARE, and PIV/CAC, ensuring compatibility with existing badge systems. Keystroke emulation eliminates the need for custom drivers or middleware, allowing rapid deployment. The tri-color LED and audible beeper provide clear user feedback, while the wide operating temperature range (-30°C to 65°C) suits harsh industrial settings.
