Turck TBEN-L Ethernet spanner

Click2Contact

The TBEN-L Ethernet spanner is designed to provide a robust protocol converter for applications dealing with multiple protocols on the same network. It capitalises on Turck’s multiprotocol technology and serves as an easy way to link multiple Ethernet networks together. Its master-to-master data exchange allows PLCs to exchange data easily.

By utilising Turck’s multiprotocol Ethernet technology and the embedded Ethernet switch, the device can allow isolated networks to pass data between them (up to 256 bytes), even if the networks are on different Ethernet subnets or using different protocols such as Modbus TCP, Profinet or EtherNet/IP. Additionally, by utilising the isolated Ethernet network, the TBEN Ethernet spanner offers the ability to set up a NAT router for up to five IP addresses. The devices also include an embedded web server for a streamlined set-up and configuration process.

The TBEN-L spanner offers 16 digital inputs that are available to both networks and allows data transfer speeds of up to 100 Mbps. Additionally, the spanner comes in a glass-fibre reinforced housing with fully potted electronics and offers a IP65, IP67 or IP69K rated housing.
