Applications and selection notes

RFID heads connect straight to the block, which removes the need for a separate RFID controller in the cabinet. The feature list gives up to 128 bytes of user data and continuous HF bus mode with up to 32 HF heads per channel as printed, and a data interface designed for convenient use of the heads in the PLC. The universal channels can take the trigger sensors and stack lights that belong to the same reading station.

For commissioning, load the device description for your controller, check the supply voltage at the far end of long cable runs, set the I/O diagnostics you want mapped, and test every channel with a real sensor or load. Keep the Quick Start Guide at hand for firmware, web server and Ex-area notes.

Reading the type code before you order

Derived from the datasheet titles: TBEN is the Turck block Ethernet family, S1 and S2 are the compact 32 mm wide housings with M8 connections, L4 and L5 are the larger housings with M12 connections (L4 with a 4-pin and L5 with a 5-pin 7/8-inch supply connector in the feature list), DIP means digital PNP inputs, DOP digital PNP outputs and IOL IO-Link master channels. Ident number 100000836 identifies this exact module.

A short checklist before you order: the number and type of channels, the fieldbus protocol and firmware needed by your PLC, the connector style (M8 or M12) of your sensors and valves, any hazardous-area conditions in the Quick Start Guide, and the supply connector. 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 company profile

Milestones

  • 1965: An order from a German chemical plant for an amplifier module starts the business; Werner Turck builds the first 20 units.
  • 1970: Hans Turck KG and Werner Turck KG are registered as separate companies.
  • 1975: Hans Turck KG opens its building in Mülheim an der Ruhr.
  • 1994: Turck Holding combines the two Turck companies under one roof.

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.
