IIoT service platform for device management

Benefit from multitool for IIoT

TAS stands for Turck Automation Suite. This IIoT service platform allows you to access all information from Turck devices and to benefit from a comprehensive solution for updates, device management and smart sensors.

In TAS version V1, the management and commissioning of devices in Industrial Ethernet networks, as well as ARGEE and BEEP applications, have been streamlined. It also facilitates in-depth feasibility studies for RFID systems. Subsequent TAS versions will introduce extended IIoT functions, covering services like condition monitoring and edge control on PCs or local servers.

IIoT service platform advantages at-a-glance

Streamline device configuration with Network View

The IIoT service platform empowers users to oversee all Turck devices within their production network. The Network scan feature locates all accessible Turck Ethernet devices across the network and promptly presents the relevant device details.

Through Network View, users can also assign IP addresses and passwords, along with executing firmware updates for all networked devices. Furthermore, TAS allows direct access to the device-specific web pages of each Ethernet device.

Commission faster with the IIoT service platform

Several of the Network View functions can also be executed as batch operations, streamlining the process of updating and managing multiple devices simultaneously. The result is a significant time saving during the commissioning and maintenance of extensive networks, all without the need for a PLC or third-party software.

Furthermore, the option to export device networks in CSV format enhances the ease of documentation, collaboration, and network management.

Use an IO-Link View

This view offers a comprehensive look at IO-Link masters within the network and their connected IO-Link devices.

Features:

• Retrieve device information,
• Execute device actions such as winking, opening the master in TAS, launching the IODD, configurator, and accessing the device monitor,
• Filtered view on selected IO-Link devices.

Turn I/O module into Logic Controller

The ARGEE logic software transforms Turck’s Ethernet I/O modules into IP67 logic controllers, enabling direct field use as Field Logic Controllers – a unique feature in the current market.

The IIoT service platform facilitates the convenient batch loading of ARGEE programs onto a group of devices while providing centralized management capabilities.

Reduce the number of IP addresses

Backplane Ethernet Extension Protocol (BEEP), Turck’s innovative protocol, significantly diminishes the number of IP addresses necessary within your industrial network. Through the IP address of a BEEP master, you can access up to 32 Turck IO-Link devices.

TAS serves as a central and user-friendly tool for configuring BEEP networks, as well as handling the import and export of BEEP configurations efficiently.

Run plug-and-play IIoT functions easily

Use the HF for tagging

Also in the HF frequency band, various functions are available to users to help with system maintenance or RFID system design:

• Scan UID of HF data carriers and create a list,
• Read tag metadata: Type, memory size and supported features of a data carrier,
• Read tag memory (hexadecimal, ASCII),
• Write data to selected memory areas.
