Latency-free Ethernet couplers up to 50 W
TURCK's NIC-Q86 inductive Ethernet multiprotocol couplers transmit up to 50 W of power and offer data rates of up to 100 Mbps.
Benefits
- Wear-free connection for moving or rotating applications
- Multiprotocol Ethernet: flexible use in PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP networks
- Fast start-up: fast tool change with 450 ms start-up time
With the NIC-Q86-ETH inductive Ethernet multiprotocol coupler, TURCK is opening up further fields of application for contactless power and data transmission. The coupler transmits up to 50 W of power and data at 100 Mbps full duplex and latency-free (<1 µs) in all Ethernet protocols. This makes the new system the ideal interface between moving components or mobile applications and machine parts for particularly stringent requirements for real time, power, or data rate, especially when they are connected via TURCK's multiprotocol and EtherCAT I/O modules and controllers that automatically work in Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and EtherCAT networks. For applications in the IO-Link environment and outputs of up to 18 watts, TURCK continues to offer the compact and robust NIC couplers with IO-Link COM3 and 230.4 kbps.
Fast start-up for fast tool changes
Thanks to fast start-up (start-up time: 450 ms), the coupler is ideal for use with frequent tool changes or in fast-paced production processes. The combination of IP65 protection, a maximum transmission distance of 10 mm, and its independence from the transferred Ethernet protocol makes the NIC an efficient solution for OEMs and users with changing system requirements. A coupler set consists of a primary and a secondary part (NICP/NICS-Q86-ETH). Both parts can also be dynamically coupled with any other primary or secondary parts.
Applications: rotary index tables and Pick-to-Light systems
Typical areas of application of the couplers are mobile load carriers, rotary index tables, rotating tools, or mobile Pick-to-Light systems.
