This read/write head is part of Balluff's BIS M HF RFID system, operating at 13.56MHz to identify and exchange data with compatible data carriers in industrial tracking and process control applications. It communicates via IO-Link 1.1 and connects through an M12x1, 4-pin, A-coded male connector, operating on 18-30 VDC. The stainless steel housing and PBT/GF30 sensing surface, combined with an IP68/IP69K rating, suit installation in harsh or washdown environments typical of automated production lines.
