An Innovative Approach to Ethernet Applications


           Turck's Industrial Ethernet Multiprotocol delivers a simple and reliable solution for operators that have an application with the host systems Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, or PROFINET. Operators can employ one device for three different protocols and create easier integration and minimal maintenance.  Upon power-up, the station automatically recognizes the protocol of the master that tries to connect to it, and dedicates the outputs to that master while still allowing other protocols to access the input data and diagnostic information. 
          “With over ten years of design and tens of thousands of installations, the TURCK Industrial Ethernet product offering had become fragmented,” said Randy Durick, Director, Network & Interface Division at TURCK. “The Industrial Ethernet Multiprotocol project was developed with an objective to streamline our product offering and create a cohesive strategy across our distributed I/O product families, providing our customers with a more comprehensive, easy-to-deploy Industrial Ethernet solution.” 
This process helps create a more reliable industrial network by minimizing interruptions and downtime.
