The BL ident® connectivity portfolio offers field-wireable extension cables in various versions (Standard, Economy and Food & Beverage) for the secure communication between interface and read/write head as well as field-wireable bus and supply lines. The accessories include mounting adapters for read/write heads and tags, as well as protective frames for read/write heads. In addition, the portfolio also includes handheld readers for mobile reading and writing of data carriers.

For location-independent reading and writing of the tags (data carriers), we offer handhelds for the HF or UHF frequency band. The data is displayed on the touch screen of the TA handhelds and can be edited and written to appropriate tags by means of our application software. Depending on the requirements, the handhelds can be supplied with barcode scanner, WLAN and customized application software on request.

The BL ident® interfaces are obtainable as a set together with the gateway and one to four RFID modules in IP20 or IP67. Also available are interfaces for connection to PROFIBUS-DP, EtherNet/IP™, Modbus TCP, DeviceNet™, PROFINET, CANopen und EtherCAT®. A maximum of 16 parallel operating channels are possible. Programmable gateways enable distributed and fast signal processing. Alternatively, the BL compact series offers customized interfaces in the form of compact, fully potted IP67 components.

The rugged tags (data carriers) with high protection class are insensitive to dirt and liquids and are available with a max. memory size of 8 kB. They are passively powered via the read/write head and are maintenance free. Tags for high temperatures and direct mounting on metal allow flexible use under extreme conditions. Tags for use in hazardous areas and autoclavs complete the product portfolio.
