Specifically designed for use in applications with a low I/O requirement, such as in logistics applications, is Turck’s TBEN-S1-4DXP Ethernet I/O module. The compact block module provides four channels that can be used flexibly as inputs or outputs, and in the design of the TBEN-S, which comes as standard with eight channels.
With a temperature range from -40°C to 70°C and protection to IP65/IP67/IP69K, the new I/O module has a wide range of uses.
