4.3 Functional principle
RFID (radio frequency identification) is a contactless process for the automatic identification of
static or moving objects by means of alternating electromagnetic fields. It uses, for example,
the serial number of the object, which is saved on a mobile tag (transponder/tag) and is read
without contact by a read/write device over a distance of up to several meters. The RFID tech-
nology also enables multiple objects to be identified simultaneously. A direct line of sight con-
nection between the tag and the read/write head is not necessary.
4.4 Functions and operating modes
Passive RFID tags can be written and read anywhere with the device. For this the devices form a
transmission zone that varies in size and range according to the tags used and the operating
conditions of the application.
4.4.1 HF operation
The Turck HF system operates at a frequency of 13.56MHz. Tags in compliance with ISO 15693
(NFC Type 5) can be written and read with the handheld.
4.4.2 UHF operation
The Turck UHF system uses nationally specified operating frequencies for the communication
between the tags and read/write heads. These national frequencies for UHF are required due to
the frequency ranges specified by the national regulation bodies.
The operating frequency of the devices in the UHF band is for example 865…868 MHz for
Europe and 902…928 MHz for the USA. The BL ident handhelds in the UHF band can therefore
only be used in the countries they are intended for and must not be put into operation outside
of these regions. As the BL ident UHF tags are passive, and therefore do not radiate their own
radio waves, these are suitable for use worldwide.
Turck offers different tag variants that are specially designed and optimized for national fre-
quency bands in order to achieve as large a communication range as possible. Wide-band
multi-range tags for international use are also available as an alternative.
The various Turck handhelds support the following transmission frequencies:
n865.7…867.5 MHz (Europe, Turkey, India)
n902.75…927.25 MHz (USA, Canada and Mexico)
n920.25…924.75 MHz (China)
n920.25…925.75 MHz (Australia)
n902…907.5 MHz and 915…928 MHz (Brazil)
n917…920.5 MHz (Korea)
n916…921 MHz (Russia)
n920…925 MHz (Singapore)
n916…928 MHz (Peru)
