TRANSFORMING THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS
ThingMagic Sargas reader makes system
integration easier in 3 ways:
Hardware features
Sargas reader architecture
Supporting software tools & API
Careful use of these capabilities can reduce
hardware count and software development
time in a project.
The Sargas reader architecture is based on a
1 GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor running
Linux kernel version 3.8. This is supported by
512 MBytes of DDR memory and 4 GBytes of
FLASH memory. Onboard applications are
supported via the Mercury OS C API.
MercuryOS additions include web-based
configuration & monitoring using
HTTP/HTTPS and SSL/SSH-based security.
Reader networking features include a TCP/IP
stack plus Cisco-certified DHCP & DNS-
based configuration and firmware manage-
ment.
EASY SYSTEMS INTEGRATION
Development Tools
The Sargas reader is based on the powerful
ThingMagic Micro module, and supports the
Mercury API. This API is common across all
ThingMagic reader modules and finished
readers. Code that is developed for one
system may be reused in other designs and
projects.
The ThingMagic® Sargas reader is a high-
performance, 2-antenna-port, UHF reader in
a low profile enclosure. Built around the
ThingMagic Micro reader module, the device
reads more than 750 tags per second at
distances over 9 meters (30 feet) when
configured with appropriate antennas. With
an onboard processor, memory and
removable flash storage, the reader has
features designed for enterprise
Sargas Reader Architecture
Hardware Features
The reader has extensive hardware
input/ouput features. In addition to
Ethernet, 2 USB (one host,one client), and 4
opto-isolated General Purpose Input/Output
(GPIO) ports the Sargas reader has a unique
HDMI port. Integrating a display into an RFID

system often involves adding a separate PC
to take advantage of standard peripherals or
adding a custom display. With an HDMI port
built into the reader, a standard display or
monitor can be directly attached reducing
hardware count and development time.
