I/O module
For serial interfaces
Turck has added a variant for serial interfaces to its TBEN-S ultra-compact I/O module family. The TBEN-S-2COM connects devices with RS232 or RS485 interfaces directly in the field to controllers with the Profinet, Ethernet/IP or Profinet protocols.
This saves users long wiring routes to the control cabinet. The user can freely select the characteristics of the two serial ports between RS232 and RS 485. In addition, the module offers four I/Os that can be used as inputs or outputs without configuration. The high protection classes IP65, IP67 to IP69K and the extended temperature range of minus 40 to 70 degrees Celsius enable use in demanding environments.
A client function for Modbus RTU is already integrated in the I/O module. This eliminates the need to independently program access to Modbus in the control environment. Up to 64 Modbus RTU devices per module can be connected to the network. As the module is also able to transmit in Profinet or Ethernet/IP mode via TCP mode, it can transmit report data from sensors and actuators in parallel to edge gateways, data hubs or cloud systems. as
