Turck has introduced a 4-wire Profinet cordset line that has been developed to provide plug-and-play connectivity for applications using Profinet protocols. Profinet, the fastest industrial ethernet I/O network, is compatible with existing fieldbus systems and the only network that can accomplish a line topology — especially suitable for long conveyor systems. These cordsets connect to Turck’s BL67 ethernet gateways for Profinet — which can be connected to up to 32 I/O modules per gateway — to allow smooth integration into current fieldbus structures.
The Profinet cordset line offers both M12 ethernet D-coded and RJ45 connector options, allowing users the option to mix and match any connector combination to meet unique application needs. Cordsets are also available with colour-coded field wireables to convert hard wiring to quick disconnect.
Turck’s Profinet cordset includes cable that meets IEC 11801:2002 Cat 5 and TIA 568B: 2001 Cat 5e requirements.
