Gateways are currently available for DeviceNet and Profibus-DP, on the new BL67 that combines all the flexibility of in-the-cabinet PLC I/O systems with modularity, ruggedness, and connectorisation
Turck BL67 gateways are currently available for DeviceNet, Profibus-DP, CANopen, Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP.
Profinet is the fastest industrial Ethernet I/O network available and the only one that can successfully accomplish a line topology, making it suitable for long conveyor systems.
All BL67 systems use the Turck free I/Oassistant software package to perform the initial configuration, parameter set-up, documentation, commissioning and diagnostic functions for on/offline usage.
I/Oassistant verifies that all power and size restrictions are met, and the software can be downloaded for free from the website.
The Profinet BL67 gateway is also completely compatible with the Turck RFID system, BL ident.
This system performs read/write operations on the fly using 13.56 MHz technology with speeds up to 22 mph (10 m/s).
BL ident is the premier RFID system on the market in speed and flexibility.
