Ultra-compact 4-channel RFID interface for EtherCAT
TURCK's EtherCAT module for up to 128 HF read/write heads offers enhanced RFID connectivity and optimized processes in confined industrial environments
Benefits
- Universal usage: high compatibility, speed and data availability
- Efficiency: reducing integration costs and time
- Cost advantage: up to 128 HF read/write heads can be connected on one module
As the world's most compact 4-channel RFID interface for EtherCAT, TURCK's TBEC-S2-4RFID is ideally suited for confined installation spaces. Each of the four RFID channels enables the connection of up to 32 HF read/write heads in HF bus mode, meaning that the entire module with dimensions of 32 × 144 × 32 mm can accommodate up to 128 HF read/write heads. This effectively reduces the costs for applications with many consecutive read points, such as in intralogistics or on production lines in the automotive industry or in mechanical engineering.
Efficient wiring process for modular systems
TURCK's versatile EtherCAT module is compatible with all HF and UHF read/write devices that support connection to the RFID interface. The high protection class IP67/68/69K allows the module to be mounted directly on the machine, significantly shortening the wiring process and supporting decentralized, modular system concepts.
For users who need further digital inputs and outputs for sensors, actuators and lights, TURCK offers the TBEC-LL-4RFID-8DXP module with eight additional universal channels and M12 connections for power and Ethernet connections.
