Rugged Industrial Handheld from Balluff

Portable reader/writer for RFID data carriers

A new, rugged, industrial-grade handheld for portable reading and writing of data carriers in the Balluff BIS RFID identification system is available from the sensor specialist and connectivity provider Balluff.

The modular, expandable device with IP 65 protection and integrated read/write head stands out with nearly double the read/write distances and 100% compatibility with the BIS L/M and C systems. Practical and well-engineered accessories such as an optional pistol grip enables ergonomic and nonfatiguing operation. For portable reading of bar or matrix codes with the handheld as well, Balluff offers an image or laser scanner.

Thanks to the included, already installed software, the device is ready out of the box and simple to operate. The data can be managed conveniently from a keyboard or using a stylus. A brilliant color display provides accurate viewing even under difficult lighting conditions. The use can select from among various display modes. Even password management of MIFARE data carriers is possible. An optional software development package allows users to create their own screens and applications. If requested, Balluff can also provide readyto-use custom versions.

An optional W-LAN module can be used for wireless transmission of data to controllers, printers or PCs having a WLAN interface. Bluetooth is also possible for close-range applications.
