Detailed product information

Compact RFID interfaces for fast, rugged industrial integration

Turck’s compact RFID interfaces simplify industrial identification by connecting HF and UHF read/write heads directly to common industrial networks. Modules are available for PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, CANopen and EtherCAT.

For harsh environments, fully encapsulated multiprotocol field modules with integrated RFID and I/O and the modular IP67 system enable installation right at the machine, often eliminating the need for protective enclosures.

For control cabinet applications, DIN-rail IP20 modules provide a clean integration option, with programmable versions enabling local preprocessing and control functions on the module.

Key Facts

  • Parallel operation of HF and UHF heads via the same interface

  • Versions for control cabinet (IP20) or field mounting (IP65/IP68/IP69K)

  • For standard applications, no PLC function block programming required

  • Inputs (trigger) and outputs (actuators) connectable via the same interface

  • HF Bus Mode supports up to 32 HF read/write devices on one RFID channel

Applications

  • Designed for logistics and industrial identification tasks

  • Ideal for modular machines, since no cabinet is required in field installations

  • Well suited for RFID retrofits in running production facilities (e.g., compact field interfaces)
