Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed overview of Contrinex's RFID systems, focusing on both high and low frequency technologies. It highlights key features, applications, and advantages, particularly in challenging environments.
Specifications:
  • Low-Frequency RFID (31.25 kHz): Features all-metal Read/Write Modules and transponders suitable for harsh environments, capable of reading and writing through metal and withstanding temperatures up to 180°C (356°F).
  • High-Frequency RFID (13.56 MHz): Complies with ISO/IEC 15693, supporting ultra-high temperature tags up to 250°C (482°F) and very high temperature tags embeddable in metal.
Components:
  • Transponders (Tags): Store data with a unique identifier and a writeable zone for object-specific information.
  • Read/Write Modules (RWMs): Facilitate data exchange with transponders.
  • Interface: Connects RWMs to industrial fieldbus systems.
Applications:
  • Washing Stations: Operate reliably in environments with hot water, chemicals, and high-pressure jetting.
  • Machine Tools: Resist fluid penetration and ensure data reliability in environments with lubricants and metal particles.
  • Testing Lines: Integrate with control systems to manage test sequences and log results.
  • Paint Shops: Withstand various processes, including electrophoresis, facilitating automated, customized processes.
Advantages:
  • Passive tags require no power source, are resistant to harsh conditions, and provide reliable data exchange.
  • High-frequency systems are compatible with international standards and offer high-temperature resistance.
Technical Specifications:
  • Housing Materials: Available in stainless steel, PBTP glass-fiber reinforced plastic, PPS + Epoxy, and LCP.
  • Mounting Options: Embeddable or non-embeddable, depending on the model.
  • Temperature Range: Varies from -40°C to +250°C.

RFID Catalog-4

In the harsh environment of a washing station, RFID transponders and Read/Write Modules are exposed to hot water, mechanical shocks, corrosive chemicals and high-pressure jetting. Despite these challenges, identification systems must operate continuously with high reliability. Typically, RFID tags are mounted on the part carriers. On arrival at the washing station, information from the tag is used to select the correct washing cycle for the part type and process. Conident® advantages ConID passive tags require no power source and minimal maintenance. Rugged, low frequency tags with all-metal...

RFID Catalog-5

Product testing lines may comprise several test stations, each performing a fixed sequence of tests. For efficient diagnosis, identification systems must integrate well into the overall control system. In a typical RFID system, part carriers are equipped with tags and every test station has a Read/Write Module (RWM). To program the testing machine, the RWM reads from each tag the type of test required for an individual part. After each test, the RWM writes the results back into the appropriate tag memory. Test reports are automatically forwarded to the controller for product acceptance or rejection and...
