GIII-C EX - NEDAP Industrial Identification - #1

Text version of the page

Nedap N.V. P.O. Box 103 NL-7140 AC Groenlo GIII-C EX The GIII-C EX reader is a RFID reader, especially suited for identification in hazardous environments that typically exist in the chemical and petrochemical industry where security and reliability are essential requirements. Invulnerability to environmental disturbances is warranted due to the reader s ATEX approved design. Key benefits ATEX approved housing Excellent performance Integrated antenna Integrated sensor input & relay output Integrated RS232 interface Open industry interfaces Identification of NEDAP & EM transponders The GIII-C EX operates only from a 24 VDC power supply and has an intrinsicly safe housing suited for mounting in EX zones. ATEX approved housing The reader has an ATEX approved housing suitable for application in explosive zone such as the chemical and petrochemical industry. The GIII-C EX s design is in accordance with the CE and EMC and ATEX regulations. Excellent performance The GIII-C EX is characterised by an excellent reading performance in combination with the integrated DC 130 antenna. Integrated I/O for sensor input and relay output Participation in several standardised industrial sensor and actor networks is one of the reader s unique features. The sensor input (also called No-read input) is available to indicate a no-read situation. This input can also be applied for general purposes or event The GIII-C EX has a relay output and an optocoupler output. These outputs are activated when a valid tag is identified.The outputs are deactivated when no tag is identified and the relay time has elapsed. Relay hold times can be set. Optional the free programmable cross table feature for output control is supported. In this way the reader can operate stand-alone and on-line communication with the host system is not required. Integrated RS232 interface and optional industry interfaces Communication to the host system e.g. a PC or PLC can be accomplished by all common interfaces. Standard the RS232 interface is integrated for host communication. Optional a communication board can be placed to support other interfaces like RS422, Profibus DP, TCP/IP (Ethernet) and Multidrop. In a Multidrop Master/Slave network up to 15 GIII-C EX slaves can be connected. As slave the GIII-C (EX) can be applied, however as master a Supergis III is required. Identification The GIII-C EX is able to identify all 120 kHz NEDAP and 125 kHz EM 4102 based or compatible transponders, offering you a freedom in tag selection, in combination with the reliability of the Nedap reader and antenna equipment.
