Turck is expanding its line of in-cabinet, block I/O stations with the addition of the FEN20 I/O stations for industrial Ethernet. This station incorporates Turck’s industrial Ethernet multiprotocol technology into a fixed, economical, in-cabinet I/O product ideal for applications where digital I/O needs to be elevated to an industrial Ethernet layer such as EtherNet/IP, Profinet or Modbus TCP. This first release in a family of FEN20 I/O stations is available with 16 configurable I/O, with power isolation between I/O zones, an embedded Ethernet switch to support a variety of application topologies. The station can be addressed via an external rotary switch or via a webserver which makes troubleshooting easier, quicker, and more cost effective. The FEN20 supports DHCP, LLDP, and includes LEDs for status and basic troubleshooting. Turck’s industrial Ethernet multiprotocol technology is an innovative approach to Ethernet applications. A single station can operate on a Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP or Profine network.
