Turck, a sensor, fieldbus and interface specialist, has extended its product range with a comprehensive RFID solution. The new BLident product series is based on the modular I/O system BL67 (field mountable) and BL20 (control cabinet mounting) and consists of data carriers, read-write heads, connection technology and gateways. In addition to the standard data carriers which are rated for temperatures up to 120°C, BLident also operates with high temperature tags up to 210°C. Accordingly, the data carriers can be used for example when curing paint shops in car manufacturing as they can pass through the oven on the vehicle skids.
The tags are available with EEPROM and FRAM memory where the latter allows almost an unlimited number of read and write operations. BLident can be matched modularly to suit the respective application with two, four, six or eight channels. Fieldbus interfaces are available for Profibus DP, DeviceNet, Ethernet/IP, Profinet IO and Modbus-TCP. Many conventional RFID systems are only capable of reading and writing the tags statically, whereas the Blident systems can read and write 'on the fly'. With a read-write time of 0,5 ms/byte, the RFID system is one of the fastest systems available on the market.
Turck is represented in South Africa by RET Automation Controls.
