Turck Presents the World’s Most Compact 4-Channel RFID Interface for EtherCAT

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, thus allowing the entire module with dimensions of 32 x 144 x 32 mm to accommodate up to 128 HF read/write heads. This effectively reduces costs for applications with many consecutive read points, such as in intralogistics or on production lines in the automotive industry or in mechanical engineering.

Turck’s versatile EtherCAT module is compatible with all HF and UHF read/write devices that support connection to the RFID interface. The high degree of protection to IP67/68/69K allows the module to be mounted directly on the machine, which significantly shortens the wiring process and supports decentralized modular system concepts.

For users requiring additional 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.

“Turck’s EtherCAT module for up to 128 HF read/write heads offers extended RFID connectivity and optimized processes in confined industrial environments. Let’s think big! Contact us now – we look forward to hearing from you and will be happy to advise you.”
