SYSTEM FOR MONITORING DETACHABLE CONNECTIONS USING RFID TAGS
First Claim
1. System for monitoring detachable connections using RFID tags, which system comprising:
- a plug provided with a connection sensor comprising a RFID tag which plug is the first part of a detachable connection;
a group of ports consisting of at least two ports which ports is the second part of detachable connections where said plug is connected to;
at least one RFID interrogator;
the computer system which processes the information received from said interrogator identifying each part of a detachable connection;
characterized in thateach port of said group of ports has the modulator which modulator change the reply signal of said RFID tag perceived by said interrogator in an unique manner for each port of said group of ports after connecting said plug to any port of said group of ports;
the reply signal of said RFID tag perceived by said interrogator is changed by said modulator;
the said computer system identifies each part of the detachable connection using the reply signal of said RFID tag changed by said modulator;

Abstract
The invention relates to communication technology. Use of the invention allows to monitor detachable connections using one antenna for a group of ports. This technical result is achieved by steps of: a patch cord plug is provided with the sensor of connection which contains an RFID tag; a port is provided with the modulator which changes uniquely the reply signal of the RFID tag; the reply signal of the RFID tag changes perceived by an RFID interrogator is changed in an unique manner when the plug is connected to the port; the port and the plug connected to the port is identified using the changed reply signal of the RFID tag. The tag can contain a dry reed switch which is a part of the RFID tag antenna. The modulator can be an electromagnet.
