Balluff BIS V RFID processor

RFID systems with various read/write distances and resulting frequency ranges are finding increasing use in modern production and assembly plants. Frequency-dependent use is now offered for the first time by the BIS V processor from Balluff.

Due to its compact processor unit, which is available for every commonly used bus system, up to four read/write heads can be connected. Both HF (13.56 MHz) in accordance with ISO 15693 and ISO 14443 as well as LF (40–455 kHz) read heads can be connected simultaneously from the front via plug-and-play.

In addition, UHF antennas for the short-range band will also be able to be integrated. A single controller type is sufficient for setting up a continuous RFID structure within a company — from unfinished parts delivery and manufacturing to shipping. This results in significant savings on hardware and installation for the user. Function blocks from many controller manufacturers allow the system to be up and running quickly.

Included as standard is an IO-Link master port for connecting IO-Link compatible sensors and actuators.

Many typical application areas are covered. For identification tasks for material flow control in production systems, the user can benefit from low hardware usage and low installation costs in areas such as conveyor systems in mechanical engineering, assembly lines, electric suspension systems or in the entire intralogistics field.
