The IFM DTI431 is a high-performance RFID read/write head designed to provide accurate and reliable identification in demanding industrial automation environments. Operating at 13.56 MHz and fully compliant with the ISO 15693 RFID standard, it guarantees interoperability with globally recognised RFID tags, ensuring seamless integration into both new and existing systems.

One of the defining features of the DTI431 is its balanced detection capability, offering a 160 mm read/write distance from the front and an extended 120 mm range from the side. This dual-orientation flexibility allows engineers to configure installations that best match their system layout, whether tags approach the sensor head directly or from the side. Such versatility is particularly valuable in production and logistics systems where tag positions may vary, helping ensure consistent and reliable detection.

With an operating voltage range of 19.2…28.8 V DC and a very low current consumption of less than 50 mA, the DTI431 combines energy efficiency with robust functionality. Its low power draw makes it suitable for continuous operation, reducing overall system energy demands while maintaining reliable performance. Additionally, the device is rated to Protection Class III, ensuring safe low-voltage operation in line with international standards. This provides peace of mind for both operators and integrators when deploying the device in industrial environments.

The ISO 15693 compliance ensures that the DTI431 works seamlessly with standardised RFID systems, giving users flexibility in tag selection and guaranteeing future-proof interoperability. This makes the device an ideal solution for applications where identification, traceability, and compliance with international standards are crucial.

Built for industrial use, the DTI431 is rugged and reliable, capable of withstanding the daily challenges of manufacturing and logistics environments. Its design supports decentralised installation directly in the field, close to the application point, which reduces cabling requirements, improves responsiveness, and supports modular system design.

The DTI431 is well-suited for a wide range of applications. In manufacturing, it enables reliable identification of workpieces, ensuring accurate production sequencing and quality assurance. In logistics and warehousing, it provides dependable tracking of goods for streamlined inventory management. In assembly and packaging lines, its dual detection ranges accommodate varying tag orientations, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted operation.

In summary, the IFM DTI431 delivers a reliable, flexible, and efficient RFID solution tailored for modern industrial applications. With its 13.56 MHz high-frequency operation, ISO 15693 compliance, dual detection ranges (160 mm front / 120 mm side), low energy consumption, and robust Protection Class III design, it provides engineers with a dependable platform for building scalable, efficient, and future-proof identification and traceability systems.
