RFID TAG STANDARDS
RFID tags, which are also referred to as RFID transponders, smart labels, or inlays, are
produced in a variety of sizes, memory capacities, read ranges, frequencies, temperature
survivability ranges and physical embodiments.
Balluff offers many different RFID tag models. BIS M Controllers are capable of reading all
BIS M-1xx-02,-03,-07,-10 RFID tags as well as most of those produced by other
manufacturers.
Our patented tags can be read through obstructions such as water, wood, plastic and more.
Our specialty high-temperature (HT) models are capable of surviving temperatures of 220°
C.
It is important to note that not all 13.56MHz RFID tags are compatible with BIS M Controllers
and even tags that are said to be compliant with ISO standards may not actually be
compatible with RFID controllers adhering to the same standards. This is partially due to ISO
standards so new that they leave many features open to the discretion and interpretation of
the RFID equipment manufacturer to implement or define. When using another
manufacturer’s tags, ensure compatibility of those tags with your RFID system provider.
ISO 14443A
RFID integrated circuits (ICs) designed to meet ISO 14443A standards were originally
intended for use in smart cards used in secure transactions such as credit cards, passports,
bus passes, ski lift tickets, etc. For this reason there are many security authentication
measures taken within the air protocol between the RFID device and the tag. Balluff was the
