TBEN-L-RFID Module with OPC UA Server
Turck has added an RFID module with an OPC UA server to its TBEN-L family, paving the way for the integration and implementation of RFID systems for the Industrial Internet of Things.
OPC UA (Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture) is a global industry protocol for use on any platform or device, regardless of operating system or programming language. The protocol offers numerous advantages, including:
- Direct provisioning of information to higher-level systems (MES, ERP, Cloud, PLC, etc)
- A simple and seamless integration process, independent of manufacturer or platform
- Built-in security protocols to protect data from unauthorized users
The TBEN-L5-4RFID-8DXP-OPC-UA provides large volumes of data quickly and simply without requiring fragmentation or a reduction of the data volume. Additionally, the module supports optional commands of the Companion Specification, such as lock, kill, and password functions for UHF.
Key Features and Benefits
- Platform independence
