RF IDeas announces OVDA certification for EtherNet/IP

ROLLING MEADOWS, USA: RF IDeas, a leading manufacturer of in-building identification and access readers, announced OVDA certification of the pcProx Plus POE for PLCs using the EtherNet/IP protocol.

The OVDA is a global association whose members are comprised of the world’s leading automation companies. The OVDA organization supports network technologies built on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) — DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, CompoNet and ControlNet.

Supported by hundreds of vendors around the world and truly media-independent, CIP provides users with a unified communication architecture throughout the manufacturing enterprise. CIP allows users to benefit today from the many advantages of open networks while protecting their existing automation investments when upgrading in the future.

“OVDA certification for the pcProx Plus is important to our industrial automation customers,” says Rick Landuyt, president of RF IDeas. “We are looking forward to offering our certified POE reader to those customers seeking identification and access solutions using the Ethernet/IP protocol.”

The RF IDeas pcProx Plus family of readers allows customers to use two different proximity or contactless smart cards/credentials on the same reader. These multi-frequency readers allow for integrators to reduce their reader inventories, while providing customized reader solutions to end-users, regardless of card technology currently in place.
