Applications and selection notes
This head reads and writes passive HF tags on pallets, containers and tooling inside hazardous areas, using BVS 09 ATEX E 122 X as the approval reference. Marking is listed as II 3G Ex nA II T4 and II 3D Ex tD A22 IP67, which means zone 2 and zone 22 use, with the conditions of the certificate and Turck instructions applying. The 4-wire interface runs at 10 to 30 VDC and it is not suited to the TBEN bus mode, as the datasheet states. Hazardous-area RFID is typically used at loading, filling and maintenance points where containers or tools must be identified without a manual scan. The datasheet lists SC-M12/3GD under included in delivery, so plan the matching connection cable or cordset as a separate item. Read distance depends on tag size and mounting surroundings, so test the real tag in the installed position before the layout is frozen.
For commissioning, test with the actual tag type, record the read and write distances in both directions, and verify the data in the controller. Mounting on metal, tag orientation and transport speed change the practical distance considerably compared with the maximum in the datasheet.
Selection check before ordering
TN is the Turck HF RFID read/write head family; the housing token (Q80, M18, M30) matches the design row (Rectangular, Q80), IOL marks IO-Link versions and EX marks the version with hazardous-area marking. Ident number 7030302 identifies this exact head.
A short checklist before you order: any hazardous-area approval conditions, the supply voltage, mounting space and metal environment, the interface (IO-Link or 4-wire), and the tag type and read/write distance for your application. Specifications here are restated from the official datasheet and should be matched against the current maker revision.

About brand
Turck is the German automation company for sensors, connectivity, fieldbus I/O and interface technology. It grew from Hans Turck's engineering office in Mülheim an der Ruhr: in 1965 a chemical plant ordered an isolation amplifier for intrinsically safe circuits, and the first 20 units were built by his brother Werner Turck in Halver. The family-owned Turck group is still headquartered in Mülheim an der Ruhr, with production in Halver and other sites.
Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier in Muscat. We list Turck sensors and I/O devices for machine builders and maintenance teams in Oman and the GCC.

Turck product series
Most of the Turck products here are inductive proximity sensors: threaded M12, M18 and M30 barrels in flush (BI) and non-flush (NI) versions, uprated-range (U) sensors, rectangular CP40 and CP80 housings and BIM magnetic-field sensors for detecting pistons in pneumatic cylinders. The type code describes the sensor; in BI5-M18-AP6X-H1141, BI means flush mounting, 5 is the switching distance in mm, AP6X a three-wire PNP output and H1141 the M12 connector.
Turck also makes RU ultrasonic sensors, PS pressure, TS temperature and LS level sensors, FCI inline flow sensors, the CMVT vibration and temperature sensor for condition monitoring over IO-Link, and fieldbus and Ethernet I/O modules and communication components.
Where Turck sensors are used
Position detection on conveyors, packaging machines, presses and robotic cells; level, pressure and temperature monitoring on hydraulic units and process skids; and vibration monitoring on motors, pumps and fans.
