The Identification System CIS3 is the predominantly used standard system in the CIS system family. The CIS3 features compact data carriers.

Typical applications are, e. g., the coding of recirculating product carriers or larger tools. The data carriers are screwed on the product to be identified or the round design is bonded in a countersunk hole. The antenna and the interface electronics are fully integrated in the read heads and the read/write head. The data carrier and the head contain stick-shaped antennae. This configuration requires mounting with the same orientation of the head and data carrier. This orientation can be seen from a printed arrow marking. This fact means that the data carrier must approach the head in the direction of the arrow. The data carriers can be read when static or even moving at relative speed in front of the read head, i. e. on moving past. As a result the system is suitable, for instance, for moving product carriers. The data carrier must always be static for writing.

Features

• Low-cost read/write system with predominantly used, separate read-only heads
• Extremely compact head design, no separate interface adapter required
• Read distance maximum 18 mm
• Dynamic reading with a relative speed up to 410 mm/s
• Data carrier memory capacity 16 bytes E2PROM read/write
• Easy connection of the read-only heads to I/O on any control system via 4-bit parallel interface (24 V)
• Read/write heads with serial interface RS232
