Turck launches the world's most compact 4-channel RFID EtherCAT interface with dimensions of 32 x 144 x 32 mm

Ultracompact 4-Channel RFID Interface for EtherCAT

Turck's EtherCAT module for up to 128 HF read/write heads offers extended RFID connectivity and optimized processes in confined industrial environments

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.

Your Benefits

  • Suitable for universal use: high compatibility, speed and data availability
  • Efficiency: cost and time reduction during integration
  • Cost benefit: connection of up to 128 HF read/write heads to a single module

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 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.
