New functions
RFID interfaces become controllers
Turck has extended the functionalities of the compact TBEN-S-RFID Ethernet/RFID interfaces.
A new, free firmware update is available for the block I/O modules with IP67 protection, which offers many new functionalities, including the license-free Argee programming environment. This field logic controller (FLC) function enables users to execute small to medium-sized control tasks directly on the block I/O module and thus outsource them decentrally. This reduces the load on the controller and allows only relevant data to be transferred. The TBEN-S-RFID can be easily connected to PLC systems without a special function module.
Another new feature is the automatic addressing of the bus-compatible HF RFID read/write heads by simply activating the read/write head addresses in the parameters of the data interface. This saves users time compared to conventional methods, as they can connect the read/write heads one after the other and address them automatically. In addition, bus addresses for bus-capable HF read/write heads can be set and queried via the TBEN-S-RFID using the web server/PACTware. This allows the user to quickly check the correct commissioning of the bus mode without using an interface converter. as
