Compact 4-I/O Module for Intralogistics

Electrical Technology

Turck's TBEN-S1-4DXP improves cost efficiency in distributed systems that have a low I/O density.

Turck now offers the TBEN-S1-4DXP Ethernet I/O module which is specifically designed for use in applications with a low I/O requirement – such as in many logistics applications. The compact block module provides four channels that can be used flexibly as inputs or outputs in the same housing as the TBEN-S, which comes as standard with eight channels. With a temperature range from -40 to +70 ° and protection to IP65/IP67/IP69K, the new I/O module has a wide range of applications.

In applications where a small number of I/Os are collected and transferred over long distances, users benefit from the full flexibility of the TBEN-S compact module design, but with additional cost efficiency. The robust IP69K TBEN-S1-4DXP is ideal for decentralised automation, which reduces commissioning and wiring effort. As a Turck multiprotocol device, it can be used automatically in Profinet, Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP networks without any intervention by the user.
