3 For Your Safety
The product is designed according to state-of-the-art technology. However, residual risks still
exist. Observe the following warnings and safety notices to prevent damage to persons and
property. Turck accepts no liability for damage caused by failure to observe these warning and
safety notices.
3.1 Intended use
These devices are designed solely for use in industrial areas.
The read/write heads with an integrated RFID interface are used for contactless data exchange
with the BL ident tags in the Turck UHF RFID system. The following table shows the operating
frequency of the devices:
Type code Operating frequency Region
TN-UHF-…-EU-CDS 865…868 MHz Europe
TN-UHF-…-NA-CDS 902…928 MHz North America (USA, Canada, Mexico)
TN-UHF-…-CHN-CDS 920.5…924.5MHz China
TN-UHF-…-KOR-CDS 917…920.8 MHz Korea
TN-UHF-…-BRA-CDS 915…928 MHz Brazil
TN-UHF-…-RUS-CDS 866…868 MHz Russia
TN-UHF-…-AUS-CDS 920…926 MHz Australia
These devices may only be started up under the following conditions:
nThe particular frequency range is permissible for the use of UHF-RFID.
nThe operating frequency range of the devices is compliant with the permissible UHF RFID
range of the region.
nA valid certification and/or approval is available for the region of use.
The integrated RFID interface enables the read/write heads to communicate directly with the
PLC or other higher-level systems. Read data is sent to the controller via the device. The device
can perform autonomous controller and diagnostics functions in order to reduce the workload
of the controller. The functions of devices can be programmed using the IEC61131-3 compliant
CODESYS V3 programming software.
Four configurable digital channels are also provided for connecting digital sensors and actuat-
ors. The multiprotocol interfaces can be used as an EtherNet/IP device, Modbus TCP Turck slave,
or PROFINET RT device. In Modbus TCP systems the devices can also be used as masters.
The devices may only be used as described in these instructions. Any other use is not in accord-
ance with the intended use. Turck accepts no liability for any resulting damage.
