The TURCK BL ident System
D101583 0207 BL ident1 – 8
The BL ident configurator
The use of sensors and actuators – and even fieldbusses – is state-
of-the-art in many industrial fields. When RFID systems are used on
the other hand, there are always questions relating to the air-
interface, e.g. "How fast and at which distance can I move the data
carrier past the write-read heads?". That is to say that there is a
certain amount of general uncertainty concerning the range of
applications of an RFID system.
General details such as "recommended write-read distance" or
"transmission speed = 0.5 ms/ byte" are usually not sufficient for
evaluation of the usage of the devices in a determined application,
as the application variables such as data quantity, speed and
distance are the result of a complex interaction between the read-
write heads and data carriers.
With the “BL ident configurator” the respective application can be
simulated and the correct preliminary selection can be made.
The setting of applications parameters by "playing" with the values
allows the user to easily test the options and limits associated with
the respective combinations.
