Turck BL67 on-machine modular I/O system for industrial ethernet

Turck has released the BL67 on-machine modular I/O system for industrial ethernet. Designed to provide flexible communication capabilities, the modular I/O system elevates a variety of I/O signals to common industrial ethernet networks, including digital inputs, digital outputs, analog I/O and specialty I/O such as serial interfaces and RFID.

Featuring the company’s multiprotocol technology, the system offers an easy-to-deploy industrial ethernet solution, combining three ethernet protocols - EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and Profinet - in a single device, yet only allows one ethernet master to control the outputs while the input and diagnostic data is available to the other protocols.

Designed to simplify industrial ethernet for distributed I/O, the system offers all the latest features, including quick-connect and DLR support for EtherNet/IP and fast start-up, LLDP, GSDML file configuration for Profinet and linear topology support for all three supported industrial ethernet protocols.
