The Texas Instruments' low-frequency (LF) reader provides all the functionality required to communicate with

Texas Instruments 134.2 kHz LF transponders which are available in a variety of form factors.

The Series 2000 Control Module (CTL) is the interface between a TI-RFid™ Radio Frequency Module and a

controlling host. The CTL controls the transmitting and receiving functions of an RFM module such as the

RI-RFM-003B, RI-RFM-007B or RI-RFM-008B according to the commands from the host to send signals to and

receive data from a TI-RFid™ LF transponder. It converts the received RF signals to the transponder's

identification number, checks the validity and handles the conversion to the standard RS232 (RI-CTL-MB2A) or

the RS422/485 (RI-CTL-MB6A) serial interface protocol.

The CTL in combination with an RFM module is well suited for usage in a broad range of applications including,

but not limited to, access control, vehicle identification, container tracking, asset management and waste

management applications
