New robust RFID antennas

June 2016 Industrial Wireless

The new robust RFID antennas from ifm have been developed especially for the requirements in automation and conveying technology. In combination with the antenna adaptors, they ensure excellent operating distances for more reading reliability even under adverse installation conditions.

Data access to the transponders is fast and simple, via the provided function blocks as well as directly via the process image of the controller.

All evaluation units have an integrated Web server and users can log in via an HTTP address to fully access the device.

Each evaluation unit offers four sockets to connect up to four RFID antennas. Optionally, unused RFID antenna inputs can also be used for the control of outputs or the detection of digital input signals. Two digital sensors can be connected to each socket set as an input; and an actuator to each output.

The ifm RFID evaluation units offer a wide range of industrial fieldbus interfaces and now RFID-based identification tasks can easily be integrated into SAP/ERP systems.

The industrially compatible connection technology “ecolink” ensures quick and reliable connection of antennas and sensors to the RFID evaluation units.
