Ethernet multiprotocol now also with CC-Link

Turck extends the multiprotocol capabilities of its TBEN-S and TBEN-L series IP67 I/O modules with the addition of CC-Link IE Field Basic, combining the world's leading Ethernet protocols in a single solution

Turck’s multiprotocol Ethernet technology now also supports CC-Link IE Field Basic. Devices with this standard operate in networks with Profinet, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP or CC-Link IE Field Basic without the need for manual adjustments. The expansion can be activated via a simple firmware update and is initially available for the TBEN-S and TBEN-L IP67 I/O series.

The update now also allows users in Asia to benefit from the flexibility of Turck's multiprotocol technology. In Japan in particular, but also in China, India, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, CC-Link has a market share of up to 40%. Globally active machine builders and OEMs no longer need to stock separate I/O modules for CC-Link, which reduces the complexity of purchasing and logistics and thus also the costs.
