Markham,ON—September 26, 2007—TURCK Inc. announces its new EtherNet/IP piconet ® gateways. The gateways are available with either eight M8 picofast ® or four M12 eurofast ® connectors, and provide four points of digital I/O.
The gateway has two fiber-optic connectors to add modules and increase the number of I/O points on a single node. A new extension module with eight inputs and outputs and terminal strips that offer cage clamp technology for mounting inside a panel is also available. Up to 255 extension modules may be connected to the gateway.
TURCK has also improved its IP-Link fiber-optic communication system to allow
up to 15 meters between modules. This will make it feasible to encircle an entire
machine with I/O using a single node on the network.
