Modularity will win over the field of mechanical engineering, but it is fully in line with expectations and reasonable. Other occupations may have successfully transitioned from craft production to continuous production. In the case of continuous production, the power can be increased through large-scale production. The monotonous process will be automated, freeing up employees to engage in creative work and create more value.
Modularity drives progress
Modularity is the driving force for innovation, and now it is also driving innovation in the construction of machines and plants. Modular machines meet many of the requirements of today's industrial companies.
Facilitate procurement
Reduced delivery time
Improve customer and manufacturer's agility when expanding or moving machines
Field Logic Controller AGREE
Turck's FLC skills are bringing logic to the field level. According to the AGREE programming environment on the website, the logic functions are introduced into Turck's block I/O modules with multiprotocol Ethernet channels. This means that a Field Logic Controller (FLC) can be created on the I/O module.
The AGREE programming environment offers 2 levels of complexity. The process editor illustrated is particularly brief. Logic functions can be programmed via flowcharts and drop-down menus.
Reduce the cost of the machine
Reducing machine costs isn't just about choosing the right components. Minimal integration is the key to success. Building machines without control cabinets saves time, money and space. Automating the specification of machines with intelligent Turck components also reduces sources of error and archiving expenses, and together improves the reusability of modules.
Sensitive use in Ethernet
Thanks to Turck's multiprotocol Ethernet know-how, the I/O modules can be used with PROFINET, Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP Ethernet protocols. The modules automatically recognize the bus protocol in use during the start-up phase without user intervention.
Easy design and safe to use
The modular design is complicated by the control of the safety functions by a central safety PLC based on Ethernet. In addition, the centrally controlled safe use of large machines suffers from long cycle times and requires a greater safety interval between the hazard source and the sensor. The distributed safety controller accelerates safety functions and enables shorter intervals. In addition, distributed security solutions can reduce costs.
Web server support
The integrated web server in the module simplifies commissioning and diagnosis. Relevant data such as module type, firmware, IP address or PROFINET name can be seen at a glance. Confirmed diagnosis information is displayed in plain text on a web server.
Easy networking
CODESYS integrates global network variables to make it easy to network multiple I/O stations. As a result, different systems can be connected quickly and easily. Bidirectional data exchange can also be completed by using standardized transmission protocols.
Fast programming
In order to ensure fast integration in CODESYS, Turck offers the Target Support Package, which acts as a driver for the target system. I/O modules can be easily inserted into the configuration with drag-and-drop operation. Diagnosis and debugging functions as well as utility blocks also provide support to the user.

Turck's solution to the problem of torque sensors
Torque sensors are generally used to measure the magnitude and direction of the driver's torque acting on the steering wheel and convert it into an electrical signal. The power steering ECU receives this signal and the vehicle speed signal, confirms the direction and size of the auxiliary power, and then reduces the steering torque when traveling at low speeds.
