RFID
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag is an object that can be attached to or incorporated into a product for the purpose of identification using radio waves. Passive tags require no internal power source, whereas active tags require a power source.

Balluff RFID SystemsBalluff has developed a complete line of easy to use read-only systems that interface directly into a PLC through discrete inputs or an RS-232 interface. These systems offer data reliability and environmental ruggedness not found in barcode systems. Read-only systems are ideal when product data are stored centrally in a control system and referenced by a code contained on RFID tags located on products, parts, or pallets.
