The compact TBEC-S2-4RFID 4-channel RFID interface for EtherCAT from Turck is ideal for applications with limited installation space. Each of the four RFID channels allows the connection of up to 32 HF read/write heads in HF bus mode. This means that up to 128 HF read/write heads can be accommodated on the entire module with dimensions of 32 x 144 x 32 mm. 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.

For decentralized concepts

The 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.
