Turck BL Series Remote I/O

Brad Vorrie presents the Turck BL Series Remote I/O.

Turcks BL series remote IO can potentially connect to any PLC using your preferred communication Protocol.
The gateways that provide the communication platform, are available in common network types including Ethernet, Profibus, DeviceNet and CANopen.
If you select the Ethernet gateway you choose Modbus TCP, ProfiNet and most common Ethernet/IP.
There are two environmental versions available.
The IP20 which is known as the BL20 series
And the IP67 which is known as BL67.
Along with the different environmental versions these devices can be either programmable or non-programmable.
These devices can not only provide remote IO for your standard PLC but they can also provide stand-alone logic using CoDeSys.
The BL Series IO is a modular IO block.
Several input and output modules types can be ordered.
These modules include 24V DC input slices from 2, 4, 16 and 32 points
2 point AC input slices
Output slices with transistor output from 2, 4, 16 and 32 points
As well as 2 point relay outputs
Analog, High speed input, serial, temperature and RFID reading, just to name a few.
Specialty output cards are also available and include
RFID writing, high speed out, and analog out.
As you can see the BL20 are modular and slim in design. The terminal blocks are removable and easy to wire.
The BL67 is also modular and includes a lot of the same types of IO modules as the BL20.
This device is IP67 rated when used with the correct type of quick disconnect connector. The connectors are available in a wide variety of connection types. This includes M8, M12, M16, and M23.
For those who prefer a block design, Turck has an option available. The block has same fieldbus and IO configurations as modular designs.
Tracking products throughout the production process has been increasing in demand over the years.
Turck has a great solution for this request using RFID tags, RFID Transceivers, and the BL Series RFID Slices. For example the information on this tag can contain a serial number of the product you want to track. This tag is mounted to your product and when it reaches specific points throughout the process, the tag can be read using Turcks RFID transceivers and BL series RFID slices. That information can then be sent via Ethernet to a database for logging.
The tags can come in variety of shapes and sizes with tags as small as 7.5mm. Temperature ratings from -40C to 300C.
The transceivers that read the tags also come in a variety of sizes. Selection is typically dependent upon how far away the tag need’s to be to read.
Not only can these transceivers read the values of the tags but they can also write and re-write values for a complete solution.
