High-speed HF read/write head with S2 system redundancy

Turck's robust multiprotocol Ethernet read/write head boots up in less than 500 ms and operates in temperatures from -40 to +70 °C

Turck's new HF read/write head with an integrated multiprotocol Ethernet interface adds an efficient solution with unique features in terms of start-up time, communication and security to the existing RFID portfolio.

With a start-up time of less than 500 milliseconds, the TNSLR-Q130-EN is ideal for highly dynamic applications such as tool changes where every second counts. Thanks to its multiprotocol interface, the device communicates automatically in Profinet, Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP networks. The integrated S2 system redundancy also enables redundant communication between two controllers in a Profinet network, providing a significant safety advantage. Another advantage is the extended temperature range from -40 to +70 °C, which also makes the device suitable for use in cold chain logistics - also unique on the market.

With its compact size and long range, Turck's HF read/write head can be perfectly integrated into plant and machine concepts. The TNSLR RFID functionality and multiprotocol Ethernet interface are combined with QuickConnect capabilities in one device, significantly reducing the effort required for installation and wiring. This provides users in various industries with an efficient and flexible solution for their read and write needs - starting from serial machine building, transportation and handling, to production lines and material handling, to fixed and autonomous mobile robotics (AMR).
