Products of the year 2024Software & IT - The winners
For the first time, an IT company has been voted among the top 3 in the 'Software & IT' category. An indication that OT and IT are truly growing together.
1st place - Turck
The 'Turck Automation Suite', or 'TAS' for short, is the central location for the management of Turck devices in industrial Ethernet networks, from the sensor to the controller. The 'Argee' logic software and the 'Beep' IP address management solution are also integrated into the new multifunction tool, as are device-specific apps for applications with IO-Link or RFID. The software functions of Turck's IO-Link devices such as the Turck Radar Monitor can be executed directly via TAS if the device is accessible in the associated network. Classic IO-Link functions such as setting parameters can also be carried out directly from the suite.
With the batch function, many actions can be executed simultaneously for several network devices. With the latest release 1.9, Codesys control programs can also be managed via the network and loaded, saved, executed and stopped using batch processing. Another new feature is the 'Cable Monitor' app, which displays the voltage, current and temperature of the 'M12Plus' connectors and thus enables condition monitoring for cable connections. The smart connectors transmit their measured values via Bluetooth Low Energy.
