Turck BL67-1CNT/ENC Encoder Counter IO Module

The TURCK BL67-1CNT/ENC encoder counter IO module is a high-speed counter and incremental encoder interface designed for the BL67 distributed I/O platform. It provides differential 5 V inputs and 5–24 V single-ended inputs for encoder signals, plus 2 digital inputs and 2 digital outputs (24 V) with 0.5 A per output channel, along with 2 additional configurable DIO lines. It enables encoder feedback, position tracking, speed monitoring, and high‑speed pulse counting in conveyor systems, packaging lines, and motion control retrofits. The module is IP67 machine-mount rated, allowing direct installation on equipment to minimize wiring and cabinet space, and uses galvanic isolation via optocouplers to protect field devices. It supports compatibility with M12 and M23 base modules for flexible integration and offers fieldbus‑independent operation, hot-swappable electronics, and approvals from cULus and CE. LED indicators provide channel status and diagnostics. Operating temperature is -40°C to +70°C and the unit weighs about 56 g. This TURCK component is designed for encoder and counter signal acquisition within BL67 systems, supporting incremental encoders and pulse‑generating devices for applications like conveyor tracking, length measurement, speed monitoring, and positioning.
