RFID technology with IO-Link connectivity eliminates hose-coupling errors in fluidized pneumatic-transport systems

Bulk-handling- and pneumatic-transport-system designers use RFID technology to eliminate connection errors at manual hose-coupling stations for fluidizable materials.

RFID technology with IO-Link connectivity eliminates hose-coupling errors in fluidized pneumatic-transport systems

Coupling stations, with IO-Link-enabled read/write modules (RWMs) mounted on each outlet pipe, use manual quick-release hoses to feed materials to multiple machines. RFID tags, mounted integrally within each hose coupling and blanking cap, identify the mating parts uniquely, allowing individual outlet/hose combinations to be verified at the time of connection.

Customer value

  • Industry-standard IO-Link interface ensures reliable out-of-the-box connectivity
  • Dual-mode read-write modules deliver ultimate flexibility
  • Standard I/O mode operation provides decentralized, local intelligence
  • IO-Link mode operation provides centralized intelligence
  • Plant-wide commonality of RWM hardware minimizes spares inventory holding
  • Integral M12 connectors ensure easy installation and replacement

Specific product advantages

  • IO-Link V1.1 compatibility
  • Robust metal housings with PBTB sensing faces
  • Sensing distances up to 60 mm
  • Reconfigurable remotely or via Master Tag
