The IODD Configurator

been detected with sufficient certainty. Anyone who
has ever had to assess a bulk detection operation
manually knows how much time and effort this saves.
“Tag Trace” enables users to determine the ideal start
and stop times for optimum read and write processes
in moving applications. “Tag Population” measures the
read and write performance at different tag positions
of a static object. For this, the UHF reader continuously
increases its power and indicates the minimum power
required to reliably read the tag.
For Turck’s HF RFID solutions, the “Tag Actions HF”
function enables particularly convenient handling of
RFID tags when a user wants to test and execute
various functions with an HF reader using the Turck
RFID system. This includes creating a list of read HF
tags, reading information about the tag memory, and
simple editing, reading and writing of data in a
user-defined memory area of the tag.
IIoT platform with improved security
TAS improves the manipulation security of previous
programs. All device actions have to be enabled with
the device password. However, the password is saved
for the duration of the browser session and can be
applied if necessary to all devices with the same
password, thus increasing user friendliness.
The best is yet to come: TAS IIoT platform
TAS version 1.7 is currently available but is only a
foretaste of the range of functions of the fully developed
IIoT solution. The software platform will be
provided with additional functions and more digital
services with every update. TAS will be provided with a
connector function to the Turck cloud, by which it can
be used as a virtual edge controller on a PC or local
servers as well as on selected Turck devices. This will
considerably simplify the smart evaluation of production
data for condition monitoring and for predictive
maintenance even beyond plant boundaries. To meet
the requirements of an IIoT platform, TAS will also
support the transfer of data via MQTT and OPC UA to
higher-level systems, automatic configuration routines
for service tasks and many other features. TAS will
considerably increase the connectivity of your production
system and thus combine OT data and IT data
without any barriers.
