Balluff BIS018C HF ReadWrite Heads With Integrated Processor Unit

Balluff BIS018C HF Read/Write Head with Integrated Processor Unit (BIS M-4006-034-002-ST4) is a 13.56 MHz HF read/write head featuring an integrated processor for local RFID data handling. The compact round antenna measures Ø 18 x 128.5 mm and is designed for metal-free clear zone installations; it uses a brass housing with nickel-plated nuts and is IP67 rated for use in harsh environments. It connects via a M12x1 4-pin connector and provides IO-Link 1.1 interface with a COM2 transfer rate of 38.4 kbps, operating on 18 to 30 VDC and a 0 to 70 °C ambient temperature range. The unit supports HF data carriers at 13.56 MHz for read/write operations and is commonly used on transfer systems and rotary index tables where a single HF read/write head is required. This Balluff read/write head integrates a processor directly into the head, enabling embedded data processing and easier fieldbus connectivity in factory automation environments.
