Fast and Powerful Ethernet Couplers

Turck‘s NIC-Q86-ETH multiprotocol inductive Ethernet coupler expands the range of possible applications for contactless power and data transmission.

This coupler transfers up to 50 W as well as 100 Mbit/s, full duplex, latency-free data (<1 µs) across all Ethernet protocols.

Flexible Use in All Networks

The NIC-Q86-ETH is an ideal interface for moving or rotating applications. Especially when combined with Turck’s multiprotocol and EtherCAT I/O modules and controllers, it enables seamless integration into Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and EtherCAT networks.

In addition, Turck continues to provide compact, robust NIC couplers with IO-Link COM3 at 230.4 kbit/s, designed for IO-Link applications with power requirements of up to 18 W.

Fast Start-up for quick tool changes

The Fast Start-up function (ramp-up time: 450 ms) allows the coupler to perform optimally in applications with frequent tool changes or fast-cycle production processes.

With IP65 protection, a maximum transmission distance of 10 mm, and protocol-independent Ethernet transmission, the NIC offers an efficient solution for OEMs and users with changing system requirements.

Each coupler set consists of a primary and a secondary unit (NICP/NICS-Q86-ETH), which can also be dynamically combined with other primary or secondary units.

Wear-free Connection for Various Applications

Typical areas of application for the couplers include:

• mobile load carriers
• rotary indexing tables
• rotating tools or
• mobile pick-to-light systems
• mobile skids

These Ethernet couplers are perfect for industries such as intralogistics and conveyor technology, automotive, mechanical and plant engineering, pharmaceuticals, and more.
