Turck
IIoT functions for Ethernet I/O system
With the FW 1.6.0 firmware update for the GEN-3G and GEN-N Ethernet gateways of the excom I/O system, Turck is improving the IIoT capabilities and simplifying maintenance and commissioning of the system.
HCiR (Hot Configuration in Run) now also allows device replacement, expansions or maintenance during operation in hazardous areas and high-availability applications. Configurations can be changed during operation using Ethernet/IP (CIP) or Modbus TCP. With the new firmware, Turck has also simplified the configuration and handling of the system via the gateway's integrated web server. In addition to the process and diagnostic data, information such as device type, ID number, hardware and firmware version are displayed directly in the device overview. In addition, direct access to the HART field devices is made possible in order to read out dynamic variables, device ID, tag, etc. Turck now also supports Module Type Package (MTP) via the Codesys TBEN-L-PLC or TX700 controllers for easy interconnection of different system modules from different manufacturers.
