The TBEN-L programmable logic controller (photo) is said to be the world’s first IP67 controller for industrial applications. The TBEN-L PLC not only offers an onboard Codesys PLC, but also enables a cloud connection and communication with different Ethernet protocols at the same time, thanks to its multiprotocol technology. The new Dual MAC mode enables the module to establish a connection to the automation network via one port and a securely separated internet connection to the cloud via the second port. Alternatively, if an internet connection to the cloud is not required, communication in two Ethernet networks is possible, for example as a Profinet device and as Profinet, Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP master. — Hans Turck GmbH & Co.
