3. Overview Introduction Problem Solution Technical/Practical Constraints Design Approach Hardware & Software Tests Completed Prototype Future Work Bill of Materials Questions

4. Introduction What is RFID? How can RFID technology be used? –Inventory Control –Personal Access

5. Problem There are no RFID AC Switches. Many people are unfamiliar with the capability RFID Technology.

6. Solution OEM RFID AC Switch This will give manufacturers a quicker time to market.

7. Implementations How can the RFID AC Switch be used? –Light Control –Security Access –Outlet Control

8. Technical Constraints NameDescription Switching VoltageMust operate at 120 VAC. Output CurrentMust have a maximum current of 15 amperes. Read DistanceMust have a read distance of at least 2”. Authorized Tag Identification Must read 125kHz tags. Tag QuantityMust store at least 200 identification tags.

9. Practical Constraints TypeNameDescription ManufacturabilitySizeMust have dimensions of at most 4” in length, 4” in width, and 2” in depth. Health and SafetySafetyMust meet UL (Underwriters Laboratories) guidelines.

10. Practical Constraints-Size RFID AC Switch must have dimensions of at most 4” in length, 4” in width, and 2” in depth Why? –Adaptability

11. Practical Constraints-Safety RFID AC Switch must meet UL (Underwriters Laboratories) guidelines How to meet these guidelines? –Proper Enclosure –Isolated Connections –Overcurrent Protection
