Turck
Ethernet communication for hazardous areas
With a Zone 2 Ethernet gateway for the 'excom' I/O system, Turck says it is opening up the world of the process industry for digitalization and Industry 4.0.
All process data is transferred to IT systems for analysis and evaluation via a parallel data channel. Controllers and control systems remain unaffected and protected from access. As a multi-protocol device, the 'GEN-3G' from Turck operates at high data rates without manual intervention in Profinet, Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP networks. The gateway's integrated switch enables line topologies that can easily be closed to form a ring in the network. In addition to hardware redundancy for power supply units and gateways, 'excom' also supports redundancy concepts such as S2 system redundancy. The I/O system also establishes its own solutions for protocols that do not natively specify a standard for redundancy.
