Product Description:
The 5E9000.29 is a transponder module manufactured by B & R Automation for the 5E9 Transponder Modules series. It functions as a stationary read/write head that communicates with low-frequency RFID tags, allowing controllers to confirm part identity, track production steps, or grant machine access in compact industrial stations. By converting tag data into host-level signals, the module supports automated verification tasks without requiring direct line of sight or manual scanning. This contactless operation is useful where dirt, limited access, or repeated handling could make optical labels and manually operated readers less practical.
The module operates at a carrier frequency of 125 kHz, a standard low-frequency band that performs reliably around liquids and nearby metal surfaces. Its internal electronics are powered from a single 5 VDC ±20% rail, allowing the device to share a supply with logic-level sensors on the same panel. The front bezel fits into a 22.5 mm mounting hole, and a threaded nut or clamp secures the housing from the rear. When positioned at the correct offset, the antenna provides a reading range of at least 16 mm, supporting predictable tag detection when placement tolerances vary. The exposed face has an IP65 rating, protecting the internal electronics and coil from dust and low-pressure water jets during routine washdowns. Its compact mounting format also allows several modules to be installed in closely spaced machine sections.
The antenna winding connects through a compact 2-pin PHR socket, which provides a keyed interface for the corresponding cable. Host communication and service functions use a separate 4-pin PHR socket for USB signals. These keyed connectors help prevent incorrect insertion and polarity errors when cables are installed. Separating the antenna and USB connections also keeps the signal paths organized inside crowded control assemblies. The compact connector arrangement and short reading range suit assembly machines that place multiple transponder heads side by side. Each head can be positioned near a dedicated work area, allowing the controller to associate tag data with a specific station or process step.
