Product description
Functions and operation modes
Hans Turck GmbH & Co. KG | T [phone] | [email protected] | www.turck.com 07.00 | 2022/09 | 12
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 RFID system 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. Dur-
ing operation the process data is exchanged between the fieldbus and RFID system and also
diagnostic information generated for the controller. The read/write devices are connected to
the interfaces via the RFID interfaces. The interface signals of up to four sensors and actuators
can also be processed via four universal digital channels.
4.4 Functions and operation modes
The compact RFID interfaces transfer data between the RFID level (read/write device and tag)
and the control level. HF read/write heads and UHF readers can be connected to the RFID chan-
nels. Parallel operation of HF read/write heads and UHF readers on the same device is also pos-
sible.
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
to optimize the speed, for the system to self trigger as well as for backup and restore opera-
tions. 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 universal digital channels. In all, up to four 3-
wire PNP sensors or four PNP DC actuators can be connected per input or output. The
maximum output current per channel is 0.5A.
4.4.1 Multiprotocol technology
The device can be used in the following three Ethernet protocols:
nModbus TCP
nEtherNet/IP
nPROFINET
The required Ethernet protocol can be detected automatically or selected manually.
Automatic protocol detection
The automatic protocol detection enables the multiprotocol device to run on all three of the
above Ethernet systems without any intervention by the user (i.e. without any reprogramming).
The system detects during the startup phase (“snooping”) of the system the Ethernet protocol
requested to establish connection. The other protocols can only be used for read access to the
device.
Manual protocol selection

HF extended mode
All functions of the HF compact mode are included in HF extended mode. It is also possible
with fragmentation to transfer more than the set data size per write or read cycle (example: 128
bytes). The operation 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.
HF bus mode
In HF bus mode up to 32 bus-capable read/write heads per RFID channel can be connected to
the RFID 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 con-
nected read/write heads is required in order to determine the additional power supply re-
quired. 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 com-
mand can only be processed by one read/write head at a time.
In HF Continuous 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.

HF bus mode supports the HF read/write heads from firmware version Vx.90.
Continuous bus mode supports HF read/write heads from firmware version Vx.93.
Firmware version V3.6.1.0 or higher is also required for Continuous bus mode on the TBEN-S
module.
UHF compact mode
UHF compact mode enables up to 128 bytes of data to be transferred in single applications
(e.g. EPC).
UHF extended mode
All functions of the UHF compact mode are included in UHF extended mode. It is also possible
to transfer more than 128 bytes of data. The operation mode is suitable for single-tag and mul-
titag 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 UHF readers are automat-
ically switched on or off and also carry out the 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 [}280]).
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 Universal digital channels — functions
The device is provided with four universal digital channels, which can be used as inputs or
outputs without any configuration required. In all, up to four 3-wire PNP sensors or four PNP DC
actuators can be connected per input or output. The maximum output current per channel is
0.5A.
