The Turck BL67-2RFID-A is a versatile extension module designed to enhance the capabilities of function modules or programmable gateways within industrial automation systems. This module serves as an interface for the connection of BL ident read/write heads, supporting both High Frequency (HF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID technologies. With its dual-channel configuration, it allows for the simultaneous operation of two RFID heads, facilitating efficient data exchange and tracking processes.

Constructed to withstand the rigours of industrial environments, the BL67-2RFID-A operates reliably within a wide temperature range of -40 to +70°C and boasts an IP67 protection class, ensuring its resilience against dust and water ingress. The module's compact dimensions (32 x 91 x 59 mm) make it suitable for space-constrained applications, while its robust design ensures it can handle vibrations up to 5 g and shocks in compliance with international standards.

The unit's LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback on the status and diagnostics, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance. With a nominal supply voltage of 24 VDC and a transmission rate of 115.2 kbps, the BL67-2RFID-A ensures swift and reliable communication within your automation network. Its electrical isolation feature, achieved through optocouplers, separates the electronics from the field level, enhancing the module's operational safety and longevity.

The BL67-2RFID-A is designed for seamless integration with compatible base modules, offering flexibility in connection technologies and simplifying the setup process. Its ability to support mixed operation of HF and UHF read/write heads makes it a highly adaptable solution for a variety of RFID applications in manufacturing, logistics, and asset management.
