The TBEN-L5-4RFID-8DXP-OPC-UA is a compact RFID module with an integrated OPC UA server. Part of the TBEN-L range, this variant paves the way for increased operational efficiencies for product identification and tracking applications. Up to four Turck HF and UHF read/write heads — as well as sensors and lights — can be connected via eight digital I/Os.

The module is suitable for applications involving logistics, assembly and handling, and tool monitoring. The fully encapsulated housing and IP67/IP69K rating also allow use in harsh environments. The TBEN-L5-4RFID-8DXP-OPC-UA provides large volumes of data quickly and simply without requiring fragmentation or a reduction of the data volume. Additionally, the module supports optional commands from the Companion Specification, such as lock, kill and password functions for UHF.

OPC UA (Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture) is a global industry protocol for use on any platform or device, regardless of operating system or programming language. The protocol offers numerous advantages, including direct provisioning of information to higher-level systems (MES, ERP, Cloud, PLC, etc); a simple and seamless integration process, independent of manufacturer or platform; and built-in security protocols to protect data from unauthorised access.
