FX9500 RFID Reader User Guide
Connecting Digital Inputs/Outputs
The FX9500 RFID Reader is equipped with a general purpose digital input/output (I/O) port that provides four
optically isolated 5-24 Vdc input signals and four open-collector output signals. The digital inputs can be used as
general purpose inputs or to trigger the RFID Reader for tag reading. These inputs can be configured to provide an
external read trigger from proximity sensors, photo switches, or other devices.
The digital outputs can be used as general purpose outputs, to indicate tag reading activity, or to indicate the RFID
Reader is transmitting (RF On). The outputs can also be configured to trigger conveyor gates or other access
control and sorting devices. For detailed information on configuring the digital inputs and outputs, see
Configuring Digital Inputs and
