Identification Systems
Identification systems are used for object identification in logistics and provide the first step in cost optimization and quality improvement: automating production processes, reducing throughput times, quality control, and flexible in project planning and production.
RFID Identification
The brand name IDENT Control represents an innovative identification system that uses a standardized operating concept to bring together all RFID frequencies. The identification system consists of an IDENTControl control interface with a fieldbus interface, inductive R/W heads (125 kHz, 250 kHz and 13.56 MHz) or microwave antennas (2.45 GHz) and the accompanying read only and read/write tags.
- Metal housing for field or switching cabinet use (IP67)
- Connection of up to four inductive read/ write heads or microwave antennas
- Interfaces: PROFIBUS, ProfiNet, INTERBUS, EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP, TCP/IP, DeviceNet and serial
- All connections are quick disconnect
Rotary Encoders
At a Glance
- With a wide variety of sensor principles, we offer one of the broadest sensor ranges in the industry.
INDUCTIVE SYSTEMS
- RFID handhelds programmable on application- specific basis
- Inductive read/write heads in block-shaped and cylindrical housings
- Robust and battery-free data carriers in the most versatile designs and versions, e.g. in protection category IP69, as a high-temperature carrier (up to 300 °C for 5 min.) or with 8 kByte memory size
- Range up to 40 cm
Barcode
- Barcode systems scan barcodes and forward the information via PROFIBUS to a control system. Scanning is based on the reflection principle of a laser. The compact readers are available for close ranges and for distances up to 60 cm – at 1200 scans per second. Generally, barcodes are a fixed code system with minimum costs for the code carrier.
UHF SYSTEMS
- UHF antenna with a read/write distance of up to 6 m and a M12 quick disconnect
- Robust data carrier
DATA MATRIx
- The two-dimensional Data Matrix Code represents up to 1.5 kByte of encoded information in a very small footprint. Data Matrix codes can be printed directly on plastic or metal! The data matrix readers capture the code in an image and pass the decoded information as text. This enables high passing speeds and codes can be read even if the information is partially destroyed.
Camera-Based Code Readers
- Pepperl+Fuchs has a very wide range of innovative, camera-based code readers. These readers use high-resolution CMOS and CCD image converters to support a number of functions, including:
- Static and handheld devices
- Reading of all today’s standard 1D and 2D codes
- High-speed reading (up to 60 readings/s) at movement speeds of up to 20 m/s
- High temperature identification up to 500 °C
- EtherNet, RS232, USB and PS/2 interfaces (and others)
