The new TAS Turck Automation Suite simplifies the management and configuration of Turck devices in industrial Ethernet networks. The batch functions in particular speed up many operations since they can be run simultaneously for multiple network devices. This saves time, for example with firmware updates or the issuing of IP addresses.
The software functions of Turck’s IO-Link devices such as the Turck Radar Monitor can be executed directly via TAS if the device is accessible in the associated network. Classic IO-Link functions such as setting parameters can likewise be performed directly from TAS.
With TAS, Turck is combining for the first time the configuration and parameterization tools of its smart sensor technology with the network management functions of its Ethernet devices centrally in a single software. In the near future, Turck Automation Suite will also integrate extensive IIoT functions – such as a virtual Edge Controller sending data via MQTT or OPC UA to cloud services. Previous programs and tools are gradually being replaced by TAS.
