BIS L Industrial RFID system

LF data carriers accompany the workpieces through the entire production process. If your application requires a large number of tags, data carriers from Balluff (RFID BIS L) are an economical and reliable choice. Some of them have read-only functionality, which precludes the possibility of tampering and ensures high data security.

Features

• Round data carriers in different sizes: Ø 12.4 mm, Ø 20 mm, Ø 30 mm, Ø 50 mm
• Chemically resistant glass data carriers in 13 × 3 mm
• Data carrier read only (3 or 5 bytes) or read/write with 192 bytes
• Assembly possibilities: Adhesion or screws
• Two variants of the read-only data carrier available: With a fixed 5-byte one-time "Unique ID" or with programming of 3 bytes of individual data according to customer specification

Our application-specific LF read/write heads and antennas in industrial-grade design are easy to integrate into your system.

Up to four read/write heads can be connected to BIS V processor units. Especially small read heads in the M12 or M18 size with separated evaluation electronics are available for constricted spaces.

We also offer read heads with IO-Link interface, which are often used when only simple identification (read-only) is required for tracking.

Features

• Robust housing in protection type IP67 ensures reliable use in a raw environment
• Range depends on the combination of read/write head and data carrier that is used (see data sheet for the respective read/write head)
• Connection via M12 plug connectors, cable length 50 m
• Flat design available

Our LF read/write heads with an integrated processor unit combine antenna, electronics and interface in one housing.

Easy installation saves time and money. Some read heads are also suitable for tight installation conditions. Special variants with separated electronics create leeway for the installation. And the rugged housing in IP67 ensures reliable use in a harsh environment.

Features

• Available interfaces: Parallel and serial (RS232, RS422)
• Additional processor unit eliminated
• Status displays directly on the housing of the reader facilitate the commissioning and minimize down times

Our LF handheld devices are outstanding for portable reading and writing of BIS L data carriers. They are used in manual quality control or in documenting maintenance procedures.

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® V6.0 operating system
• Various antenna shapes available depending on the data carrier
• Range depends on antenna variant
• Charging power supply and operating pin included in the scope of supply
• Base device is the powerful Zebra Workabout Pro 4 Mobile Computer
• Preinstalled Balluff software (SDK – Software Development Kit)
• Touchscreen with large color display
• Optional accessories: Docking station and pistol grip for ergonomic working
• Customer-specific software on request

With our BIS V processor unit, you can simultaneously use up to four read/write heads per processor. The BIS V allows mixed operation of all frequencies (BIS M, BIS L, BIS C, BIS U). Therefore, only one type of processor unit needs to be stocked, which greatly simplifies inventory management. For use in any industrial sector the processor unit is available with all globally standard bus systems.

Features

• Perfect EMC due to the robust zinc die-cast housing
• All connections are easily accessible from the front
• Variable mounting concept for easy assembly on top hat rails or on the profile
• LCD display and pushbuttons for simple commissioning
• Each read/write head signals its operating state via two LEDs directly on the processor unit
• Integrated IO-Link master port for the connection of IO-Link-capable sensors and actuators
• Web server for convenient remote condition monitoring
• Function components of many common controller manufacturers for fast use
• Integrated 2-port Ethernet switch for line and ring topology
• Small and compact (172 × 48 × 62 mm)
• USB interface for rapid commissioning without bus link
• BIS Cockpit: Read/write head configurable independent of interface with PC-based software tool
• Power supply via robust 7/8" plug for harsh industrial environments

LF data couplers from Balluff ensure the greatest possible flexibility. They securely transmit the data via two air interfaces. In so doing, they handle the contactless bridging of the two transitions instead of a fixed data transmission. The data couplers are generally used where a double mechanical interface is indispensable, for example, with rotary tables, replaceable workpiece holders or gripper arms. This allows you to check the function even at previously inaccessible locations.

Features

• Maintenance-free transmission without mechanical wear
• Fast and secure signal transmission
• Various cable lengths: 1 m, 2 m and 5 m
