TURCK has introduced a new 2RFID module for its BL ident RFID system that complements its existing BL20 and BL67 network I/O systems.
BL ident’s modular design provides flexible integration into new or existing TURCK systems. This modularity provides customisation in both IP20 rated cabinet installations and IP67 rated field installations.
Up to 8 channels can be added to a single BL ident node, depending on the system requirements. All channels operate in parallel so there is no time delay during communication between the data carrier and module.
The BL ident RFID system may be integrated into existing networks, including Profibus-DP, DeviceNet, Modbus-TCP, Profinet and EtherNet/IP. Standard function modules and/or sample code are available for integration into the control and fieldbus environment.
Additional functions, such as intentional switch-off of individual read/write heads, are inherent when the heads are installed in close proximity with overlapping air interface areas.
A 32kB memory allows asynchronous processing of the individual read/write commands, and LEDs display diagnostics for the individual RFID channels and fieldbus-specific diagnostic messages.
