BIS U Industrial RFID system

Data carriers or "tags" label the object to be identified and furnish it with additional information which can be read, written and saved using a password. They store product, process and quality data to provide reliable information about the product life cycle.

Our modern UHF data carriers conform to the highest industrial requirements: They withstand high temperatures, humidity, chemicals and are still reliably detectable even in metal surroundings.

In contrast to bar codes, RFID tags are also readable without optical line of sight and are therefore resistant to soiling. The required energy for the passive data carriers is inductively coupled by the read/write head or derived from the electromagnetic wave radiated by the antenna.

Features

• Broad product portfolio with different designs, dimensions and possibilities of use
• All data carriers have a unique, unalterable identification number (TID) and an individually programmable EPC (Electronic Product Code)
• Global standards ISO 18000-6C or EPC Gen2 Class1
• Freely writable user memory range up to 112 bytes
• Some data carrier variants with additional password protection
• Assembly possibilities: Adhesion, molding or screwing
• Variants for direct mounting on metal available
• Very cost-effective, self-adhesive "Smart Labels" available for one-time applications (remain on the product)
• Wide range of data carriers to meet the requirements of many different industrial applications
• Optimum harmonization with the reading system
• Low-cost tags make mass applications economically feasible
• Special silicone-free data carriers for the automobile industry
• Special temperature-resistant tags up to 220°C
• Customer-specific custom-tailored variants possible

Our UHF read/write heads and antennas are scalable and allow you to design and implement your own identification regimes, for example with conveyor lines or gates. Many different versions are available for different detection ranges and applications. The range depends on the combination of read/write head or antenna and data carrier that is used and on the configuration of the processor unit.

Features

• Versions for frequency ranges EU (865- 868 MHz) and US (902- 928 MHz)
• Rugged housings up to IP67 ensure reliable use in harsh environments
• Status indicators directly on the read/write head for easy commissioning and minimal downtimes
• Auto-Set-Up function for commissioning and configuring the read/write head in seconds
• Connection via coaxial cable (up to 10 m) or M12 plug connector with cable length up to 50 m
• Circular polarization for largely data carriers detectable independent of position
• Read ranges up to 6 m and more possible
• Read/write head and antennas mountable directly on metal
• Up to four read/write heads can be connected to the BIS V processor units
• Up to four antennas can be connected to the BIS U-602x processor units

Our portable UHF read/write units are designed for portable reading and writing of BIS U data carriers. They are used with manual quality control or in the documentation of the maintenance procedure.

Handhelds from Balluff use WLAN, Bluetooth or USB connection for data transmission. They are modular for adding 1D or 2D barcode readers and are absolutely reliable even in poor lighting conditions and harsh environments.

Features

• Windows CE® V5.0 operating system
• Linear pol. antenna
• Charging power supply and operating pin included in the scope of supply
• Base device is the powerful Zebra Workabout Pro 4 Mobile Computer
• Pre-installed Zebra/Motorola demo-software
• Ideal under poor lighting conditions and in harsh environments
• Touchscreen with large color display
• Optional accessories: Docking station and pistol grip for ergonomic working
• Customer-specific software on request

Our frequency-independent BIS V processor unit simplifies your inventory management. It is flexible and allows mixed operation of all product families (BIS M, BIS L, BIS C, BIS U). Up to four read/write heads can be operated simultaneously per BIS V processor unit. Compatible with all commonly used bus systems for use in any industry.

Features

• BIS U-602x as a powerful long-range alternative for ranges up to 6 m and more
• Perfect EMC due to the rugged zinc die-cast housing
• All connections are easily accessible from the front
• LCD display and pushbuttons for simple commissioning
• Each read/write head signals its operating state via two LEDs directly on the processor unit
• Different BIS U versions certified for country-specific use
• Integrated IO-Link master port for the connection of IO-Link-capable sensors and actuators
• Web server for convenient remote condition monitoring
• Function blocks from many different controller manufacturers mean quick start-up
• USB interface for rapid commissioning without bus link
• BIS Cockpit: Read/write head configurable independent of interface with PC-based software tool
• UHF Configuration Tool (UHF Manager) for convenient setting of all parameters needed for operation
