4.3 Operating principle
The interfaces are provided with a multiprotocol fieldbus interface for Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP
and PROFINET. The fieldbus interface connects the interface to an (existing) fieldbus system as
an EtherNet/IP device, Modbus TCP slave or PROFINET device. The interfaces are provided with
a fieldbus interface and fieldbus-independent I/O electronics with an RFID interface. During
operation, the process data is exchanged between the fieldbus and RFID system. The read/
write heads are connected to the interfaces via the RFID interfaces. The interface signals of
sensors and actuators can also be processed via eight configurable digital channels.
4.4 Functions and operating modes
The compact RFID interfaces transfer the data between the RFID level (read/write head and tag)
and the controller level. HF and UHF read/write heads can be connected to the RFID channels.
Parallel operation of HF and UHF read/write heads on the same device is also possible.
The device enables the execution of different commands such as Inventory (single-tag and
multitag applications), read, write and password protection. Additional functions are provided
for optimizing the speed, the self triggering of the system, as well as for backup and restore
operations. In every write or read cycle, up to 128 bytes can be transferred on each channel to
the controller. The data must be fragmented in order to transfer more than 128 bytes.
Sensors and actuators can be connected to the configurable digital channels. Up to eight 3-
wire PNP sensors or eight PNP DC actuators with a maximum output current of 2 A per output
can be connected.

4.4.1 Multiprotocol technology
The devices can be used in the following three Ethernet protocols:
nModbus TCP
nEtherNet/IP
nPROFINET
The required Ethernet protocol can be detected automatically or determined manually.
Automatic protocol detection
A multi-protocol device can be operated without intervention of the user (which means,
without changes in the parameterization) in all of the three Ethernet protocols mentioned.
During the system start-up phase (snooping phase), the module detects which Ethernet pro-
tocol requests a connection to be established and adjusts itself to the corresponding protocol.
After this an access to the device from other protocols is read-only.
Manual Protocol Selection
The user can also define the protocol manually. In this case, the snooping phase is skipped and
the device is fixed to the selected protocol. With the other protocols, the device can only be
accessed read-only.
Protocol Dependent Functions
The device Supported the following Ethernet protocol specific functions:
PROFINET
nFSU - Fast Start-Up (prioritized startup)
nTopology discovery
nAddress assignment via LLDP
nMRP (Media Redundancy Protocol)
EtherNet/IP
nQC – QuickConnect
nDevice Level Ring (DLR)

V02.00 | 2020/08 13
4.4.2 Data transfer to the PLC
In every write or read cycle, up to 128 bytes can be transferred on each channel. The data must
be fragmented in order to transfer more than 128 bytes. The amount of data transferred per
read or write cycle can be set as follows for different Ethernet protocols:
PROFINET EtherNet/IP Modbus TCP
n8 bytes
n16 bytes
(default setting)

Product Description
Functions and operating modes
14 Hans Turck GmbH & Co. KG | T [phone] | F [phone] | [email protected] | www.turck.com
4.4.3 RFID channels – operating modes
Five different data interfaces can be selected for the RFID channels:
nHF compact
nHF extended
nHF bus mode
nUHF compact
nUHF extended
Different functions are available to the user, depending on the selected data interface.
HF compact mode
HF compact mode is suitable for transferring smaller data volumes of up to 128bytes (e.g. UID)
in single-tag applications.
HF extended mode
HF extended mode contains all the functions provided in HF compact mode. It is also possible
with fragmentation to transfer more than the set data size per write or read cycle (example: 128
bytes). The operating mode is suitable for single-tag and multitag applications.
NOTE
Not all commands are supported in Multitag mode.
The user can set a command timeout to define the time for the execution of a command.
HF extended mode enables the use of Continuous mode for the repeated execution of an In-
ventory, Tag info, Read or Write command. In Continuous mode the read/write head executes
the commands autonomously. Different data is stored in the internal memory of the interface.
The memory operates as a FIFO memory.

V02.00 | 2020/08 15
HF bus mode
In HF bus mode up to 32 bus-capable read/write heads per RFID channel can be connected to
the TBEN module. An additional power supply may be required depending on the number and
power consumption of connected read/write heads. A power consumption analysis of the
connected read/write heads is required in order to determine the additional power supply
required. A tool is provided at www.turck.com/hf-busmodus for calculating the power.
Every connected read/write head supplies a “Tag present” signal in HF bus mode. HF bus mode
is suitable for static applications and very slow dynamic applications because a command can
only be processed by one read/write head at a time.
In Continuous HF bus mode, a command is performed simultaneously at all read/write heads in
a bus topology. The logged data is stored in the ring memory of the module.

Product Description
Functions and operating modes
16 Hans Turck GmbH & Co. KG | T [phone] | F [phone] | [email protected] | www.turck.com
UHF compact mode
UHF compact mode enables up to 128 bytes of data to be transferred in single-tag applications
(e.g. EPC).
UHF extended mode
UHF extended mode contains all the functions provided in UHF compact mode. It is also pos-
sible to transfer more than 128 bytes of data. The operating mode is suitable for single-tag and
multitag applications. The user can set a command timeout to define the time for the execution
of a command.
UHF extended mode enables the use of Presence sensing mode for the repeated execution of
an Inventory, Read or Write command. In Presence sensing mode the read/write heads are
automatically switched on or off and also carry out commands automatically. In this case, the
read data is stored in the internal memory of the interface. The memory operates as a FIFO
memory.

4.4.5 Loop counter function
The loop counter function is provided for rapid command processing. The loop counter func-
tion only requires two PLC cycles to execute a command repeatedly (flow chart see [}237]).
This increments the loop counter to execute a command repeatedly. At least four PLC cycles
are required in conventional command processing. In order to execute a command repeatedly
with conventional command processing, a command has to be reset and then set again. The
loop counter function is provided for special commands. If the command was successfully ex-
ecuted, the command code is output in the response data.
4.4.6 Configurable digital channels – functions
The device is provided with eight digital channels, which can be configured as inputs or out-
puts according to the application requirements. Up to eight 3-wire PNP sensors or eight PNP
DC actuators with a maximum output current of 2 A can be connected per input or output.
4.4.7 Turck Field Logic Controller (FLC)
The device supports logic processing with the Turck Field Logic Controller (FLC) function. This
enables the device to perform small to medium complexity control tasks in order to relieve the
processing load on the central controller. The FLCs can be programmed in the ARGEE engineer-
ing environment.
The ARGEE-FLC programming software can be downloaded free of charge from
www.turck.com.
The Zip archive SW_ARGEE_Environment_Vx.x.zip also contains the documentation for the pro-
gramming environment in addition to the software.
4.5 Technical accessories
Accessories for mounting, connecting and parameterizing can be found in product database or
the Accessories List for TBEN (D301367) under www.turck.com. The accessories are not part of

Fig.5: Grounding clip (1), grounding ring (2) and metal screw (3)
The grounding ring (2) is the module grounding. The shielding of the I/O level is permanently
connected to the module grounding. The module grounding is only connected to the refer-
ence potential of the installation when the module is mounted.
Shielding concept of the I/O modules (I/O level)
In the case of direct mounting on a mounting plate, the module grounding is connected to the
reference potential of the system via the metal screw in the lower mounting hole (3). If module
grounding is not desired, the electrical connection to the reference potential must be interrup-
ted, e.g. by using a plastic screw.

Shielding concept of the fieldbus level
On delivery, a grounding clip is provided on the connectors for the fieldbus connection.
When mounted directly on a mounting plate, the shielding of the fieldbus cables is routed dir-
ectly to the module ground via the grounding clip and the metal screw in the lower mounting
hole.
If direct grounding of the fieldbus shield is not desired, the grounding clip must be removed. In
this case, the fieldbus shield is connected to the module ground via an RC element.
5.2.3 Grounding the device – I/O level and fieldbus level
The grounding of the fieldbus level can either be connected directly via the grounding clip (1)
or connected and routed indirectly via an RC element to the grounding of the I/O level. If the
grounding is to be routed via an RC element, the grounding clip must be removed.
