Turck’s TX500 human-machine interface (HMI) programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are designed for use in small- to medium-size machines whose processes have to be controlled, displayed and operated locally. Each TX500 is equipped with a Profinet master and EtherNet/IP scanner, as well as a Modbus TCP and Mod­bus RTU master. The HMIs can also be run as field devices for both Modbus protocols. Codesys 3 allows the lean and simple programming of the PLC and visualization functions. The TFT display with 64,000 colors enables high performance display of graphics and animations. The front panel of the TX500 series is protected to IP66. It features two RJ45 Ethernet ports, a serial interface for RS232 or RS485 as well as two USB ports are provided on the terminal side. An additional SD card slot makes it possible to expand the 128 MB internal data memory.
