Introducing Balluff‘s Industrial RFID System BIS

1. (BIS C, L, M, S) Introducing Balluff‘sIndustrial RFID System BIS

2. What is RFID technology? • RFID stands for RadioFrequencyIDentification • BIS stands for BalluffIdentificationSystem • Used to track and identify products, objects, resources, persons, production, materials, etc. • Transfer ID information by wireless radio transmission between a portable memory device called a “Tag/ Data carrier” and a host. • An RFID System requires three componentsto operate: 1.Data Carrier (Tag) 2. Read / Write Head 3. RFID Processor

3. What is RFID technology? • The Data Carrier (Tag) • is the actual data carrying device of an RFID system containing write capable memory based on EEPROM or FRAM technology • is located on the object to be identified • The ”Read / Write -Head” • powers the tag • transfers data to/from the tag via inductive coupling • The “Processor” • controls / powers the heads • communicates to the outside process

4. What is RFID technology? • Factors that influence the read / write distance: • Operation mode(static / dynamic) • Size & Shape of • Data carrier • Read/write • Mounting material and clearance

8. (BIS C, L, M, S) Two Operating Modes:Static or Dynamic (On-the-fly) Static Mode (Stops) BIS C,L,M & S Dynamic Mode (on-the-fly) BIS C & M (Tag on part or pallet) Read/Write Data

9. (BIS C, L, M, S) BIS Data Carrier / Code Tag • BIS Data Carriers / Code Tags: • Are passive tags thus have no power supply and are powered up by the Read-/Write-Head. • Do not initiate communication but instead can only respond to the reader. • The Read-/Write-Head communicates with BIS Data Carrier viainductive coupling Read-/ WriteHead Data carrier(Transponder)

10. (BIS C, L, M, S) Inductive / Passive … The Benefitsof Balluff BIS Systems Common characteristics of all inductive coupled Balluff BIS Systems • Data carriers energized inductively by the read-/write head • Contactless and maintenance-free • Fail-safe inductive based data carrier communication • Fast data exchange, down to 29ms read time for 64 byte (BIS S) • On-the-fly tag read/writes possible • Read/write through insulating materials • Reusable, long-life data carriers • Designed for rough environments, therefore insensitive to dust and dirt. • Interfaces available for all standard controls and PLCs • IsBalluff expertise

11. Data Carriers (code tags) PC IT-Infrastructure+ Application Read / Write Heads+ Processor Unit Example of a BALLUFF industrial RFID application • A Balluff BIS Industrial RFID system consists of: • Data Carriers (Code Tags) • Read / Write Head (Antenna) • Processor (Reader) • PLC Controller, IT Infrastructure + application software Controller

12. (BIS C, L, M, S) Decentralized Data Tracking • Tag Data Storage • Build / error proofing data is written and stored in the tag • Read / Write Systems • Tracking / Tracing Data Data stored in tag Read / write system

13. (BIS C, L, M, S) Centralized Data Tracking • Database Data Storage • Build / error proofing data is read + stored in a central DB. • Read Only Systems • Tracking Data Only Read only system Data stored in acentral database Lower costsolution

14. (BIS C, L, M, S) BIS ….Highest Data Reliability • Two data error detection methods • Balluff double read (Standard type) • Benefits: • Higher speed • Less memory used • CRC error correction (CRC_16) • Standardized method
