The majority of the
Antenna-to-Tag range results specified in this publication was calculated
in a free air environment
– where no metallic objects were within the antenna’s RF field. Yet
because proximity to metals and other environmental conditions can adversely affect read
and write range, it is not possible to state absolute range results achieved under all
conditions. System integrators should validate the RF performance of the RFID products
used and should not rely solely on Balluff published range specifications.
The BIS M-62x Controller is compatible with Balluff BIS M-1xx-02,-03,-07,-010 RFID tags.
BIS M-1xx-10 tags utilize integrated circuits (ICs) compliant with ISO 14443A standards. BIS
M-1xx-02,-03,-07 tags, which provide a greater potential read/write range, employ integrated
circuits compliant with ISO 15693 specifications, and include NXP’s I-CODE SLI (SL2) and
tag ICs manufactured by Fujitsu and Infineon.
SUBNET16™ MULTIDROP PROTOCOL
The
BIS M-620-067 model includes support for Balluff
Subnet16™
Multidrop RFID
networking protocol. Under the Subnet16 protocol, up to 16 BIS M-620-067 controllers can
be connected via a trunk and tap network to a Subnet16™ Industrial Gateway (BIS Z-GW)
for connections to a variety of Fieldbus or TCP/IP networks.
BIS M-620-067
models can also be connected directly to a Subnet16™ Industrial Hub (BIS
Z-HB-004 IND) or Subnet16 TCP/IP Hub (BIS Z-HB-004-TCP). Subnet16 Hubs possess four
independent controller ports, four digital inputs and four digital outputs.
BALLUFF RFID TAGS
As of this publication, Balluff tags containing the RFID integrated circuits (ICs) listed below
are compatible with BIS M Controllers.
BIS M-1xx-10 RFID Tags
Balluff BIS M-1xx-10 RFID tags use the following integrated circuits:
NXP Mifare Classic - 1 kByte (kB) + 32-bit Tag ID (ISO 14443A): One kB is the total memory
in the IC. Of this memory, 736 bytes are available for user data.
