Brooks Automation TLG-RS232 Inductive TAG System

About this part

N5GTSG is the FCC identifier for a Brooks Automation inductive TAG system used with TLG transponder-reader hardware. Stored Sonisys auction records most often connect N5GTSG with TLG-RS232 / LF80 RS232 reader variants such as TLG-I2-FL6M-01 and TLG-I2-1000-S0-00EB, while one record connects it with a Hermos/Brooks TLG-LON reader. The official FCC-hosted Brooks manual provides the useful technical context: low-frequency inductive tag operation, RS232 reader hardware, passive transponders, antenna options, and SECS-I / SECS-II protocol handling

Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.
