PEPPERL+FUCHS FACTORY AUTOMATION
IDENTControl now supports RFID connectivity via EtherCAT
Many users in the material handling, automobile manufacturing, and intralogistics sector see the IDENTControl concept from Pepperl+Fuchs as the answer to all their needs, because the perfect modularity and general command structure facilitate the use of RFID technology. The wide range of fieldbus solutions makes it possible for users to standardize and use a wide range of programmable logic controllers on a worldwide basis. Because LF, HF, and UHF read/write heads can be connected to the same IDENTControl interface, the system can be perfectly tailored to the relevant applications. Thus, RFID makes it easy to resolve the increasing demands for a large number of variants and short cycle times—through to just-in-time production in the automotive industry. Modularity, flexibility, and investment security are key concerns at Pepperl+Fuchs.
