Omron's C500-IDS21 is engineered as a microwave ID sensor unit. It interfaces with the system using an interactive communication control procedure. Each sensor unit accommodates a single read/write head or antenna, configured to interact with V620-series data carriers. Depending on the data command used, memory requirements vary: it necessitates 2 words when utilizing WRIT(87/191) and READ(88/190) commands but expands to 4 words when these commands are not employed.

The device maintains an internal current consumption rate that does not exceed 400 mA when powered by 5 VDC. For the read/write head or antenna to function effectively, a minimum external current supply of 250 mA at a nominal voltage of 24 V DC ±10% must be provided. This ensures reliable operation during use.

Physical dimensions of the C500-IDS21 unit measure 34.5 mm in width, 250 mm in height, and 93 mm in depth, while the overall weight is 0.7 kg. Additionally, the sensor unit features a unique memory backup capability that safeguards error information for up to 15 days via integrated capacitors, ensuring that critical data is not lost during short power interruptions.
