Turck has announced the availability of its new brochure: ‘The Full Line for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)’. This brochure serves as an overview of its BL ident system. Turck’s broad line of on-machine, in-cabinet, modular and block distributed I/O solutions simplify integration of RFID data and standard I/O into programmable control systems, PC control, or Enterprise systems.

The BL ident system is a flexible RFID solution that can be applied to HF or UHF applications conforming to global standards for both HF (ISO15693) and UHF (ISO1800-6C). The fieldbus interface options range from compact devices for DIN-rail mounting, standalone RFID as well as flexible gateways that can handle up to a total 32 I/O cards per node, including up to 10 cards/20 channels of RFID. In addition, programmable gateways that provide local or distributed control are available for Ethernet, Profibus, DeviceNet and CANopen networks. RFID handheld and other accessories such as power supplies and fieldbus connectivity are highlighted as well.
