Pepperl+Fuchs RFID readwrite head with IO-Link interface
Pepperl+Fuchs RFID readwrite head with IO-Link interface
RFID systems are cost-effective, versatility, and ensure reliable processes-such as use in internal logistics. Even where a large number of identification points are needed, the newly developed high-frequency RFID read-write head makes the identification task easier. This read/write head is equipped with an IO-Link interface, which makes integration easier through a point-to-point connection-it can be used with any IO-Linkmaster. With these new products, Pepperl+Fuchs has taken a step towards flexible and modern system integration.

RFID system is easy to operate
This RFID read-write head has three different housing shapes to choose from, with a compact and robust housing design, suitable for harsh industrial environments. In addition to connecting these read-write heads to the proven controller unit of the previous IDENTControl series, the new read-write head also supports the fast, open and adaptable future IO-Link standard V1.1.
The new read/write head is easy to operate and provides maximum flexibility for users' application solutions. The user can choose two operation modes that can be applied to both simple and complex applications: the simple mode is easy to debug through plug and play without additional programming. The automatic opening function makes the new series an ideal choice for beginners of RFID, or for simple identification tasks with small amounts of data. There is no need to write corresponding program blocks, so it is very simple to implement. Expert mode realizes high-performance data access solution through handshake protocol. Users can download the corresponding program blocks and guides.
The new read/write head supports the fast, open and adaptable future IO-Link standard V1.1. Waiting for the smart factory
This read/write head is connected to any IO-Linkmaster through point-to-point, and then can be easily integrated into the factory. In the fieldbus module product series, Pepperl+Fuchs provides corresponding integrated IO-Linkmaster Ethernet I/O modules for optimizing connections and parameterizing point-to-point connections. In the sense of Industry 4.0, in addition to the traditional hierarchical bus connection function supporting multiple protocols (that is, the communication between PLC and field level), the integrated 8-channel IO-Linkmaster also provides a cross-level connection for the communication structure New functional Ethernet IO module. Up to eight RFID read-write heads supporting the IO-Link protocol can be connected, thereby maximizing efficiency and reducing channel costs.
