DESCRIPTION:
Y-TEX RFID tags are applied with the blue Y-TEX UltraTagger
New Y-TEX RFID Ear Tag
Livestock approved RFID tags are passive in nature. This means that they pick up the energy they require from the reader. The reader (also referred to as a scanner) creates an energy field when it is turned on and the transponder in the tag picks up energy when its antenna enters this energy field. The transponder uses the energy to power an integrated circuit attached to its antenna. The transponderʼs identification number is transmitted by the same antenna to the reader. Y-TEX RFID tags utilize the Full-Duplex (or FDX) technology.
This refers to the transmission of data in two different directions simultaneously (like a telephone when both parties can talk at once). The reader signal and the return transponder signal operate at different frequencies. The continuous reader field results in faster read performance than a Half-Duplex (or HDX) system which transmits data in just one direction at a time. FDX is also less susceptible to interference and, unlike HDX, is not susceptable to the presence of metal which can render HDX inoperable.
RFID tags approved for livestock identification are passive tags. They have no battery or power source of their
own. Each tag contains a transponder that is activated when introduced into an electromagnetic field produced
by an RFID reader. When activated, it will send the transponderʼs unique chip number to the reader which
in turn sends it to the software contained in a computer, electronic scale head or PDA, etc. The unique transponder
chip number contained in each ear tag is also printed on the outside of the tag. The Y-TEX RFID Tag is ISO 11784 compliant employing full-duplex technology. The transponder is encapsulated in a weather-resistant polyurethane material. The female
RFID tag weighs only 6.42 grams. The new Y-TEX RFID tag provides superior read distance, retention and durability.
