The TBEN-L Ethernet spanner capitalizes on Turck’s multiprotocol technology and serves as a way to link multiple Ethernet networks together. Its master-to-master data exchange allows PLCs to exchange data easily. By using the multiprotocol Ethernet technology and the embedded Ethernet switch, the device can allow isolated networks to pass data between them (up to 256 bytes), even if the networks are on different Ethernet subnets or using different protocols such as Modbus TCP, Profinet or EtherNet/IP. Additionally, by using the isolated Ethernet network, the Ethernet spanner offers the ability to set up a network address translation (NAT) router for up to five IP addresses.
