Balluff Sensors > Balluff's new Clever mixture of RFID and Sensors in a single device

Balluff BIS-V RFID controller will be the solution in the marketplace for a small evaluation unit which allows the simultaneous connection for as many as four RFID read/write heads.

Both HF (13.56 MHz) keep in line with the ISO 15693, ISO 14443 and LF (125 kHz) read heads may be connected on the front with plug connectors and they are automatically detected.

Additionally, the RFID controller is the only device in the marketplace that enables by Profibus DP and EtherCAT the direct connection of sensors and actuators from an IO-Link hub, with PROFINET, DeviceNet and Serial Interface to follow.

The outcome is significant hardware and installation cost savings. The controller satisfies all demands for an industry-ready version (IP65, metal housing) and it’s loaded with Profibus or EtherCAT interface and has a USB service interface to the PC.

There are lots of typical application areas for the clever mixture of RFID controllers and sensors/actuators. For recognition tasks for material flow control in production systems, operators can benefit from the lower hardware usage as well as a lower set up cost for example in conveyor systems in mechanical engineering, assembly lines, electric suspension systems as well as in the whole intra-logistics field.
