For Your Safety
The product is designed according to state-of-the-art technology. However, residual risks still
exist. Observe the following warnings and safety notices to prevent damage to persons and
property. Turck accepts no liability for damage caused by failure to observe these warning and
safety notices.
3.1
Intended use
These devices are designed solely for use in industrial areas.
Due to the Turck multiprotocol technology, the compact multiprotocol I/O modules for Ether-
net can be operated in the three Ethernet protocols PROFINET, EtherNet/ IP and Modbus TCP.
The modules detect the bus protocol automatically during the start-up.
The TBEN-S1-devices provide eight M8 female connectors for the connection of up to eight di-
gital sensors or actuators. The digital TBEN-S2-devices provide four M12 female connectors for
the connection of up to eight digital sensors or actuators or respectively up to four analog
sensors and actuators.
Installation directly in the field is possible thanks to degree of protection IP67. The devices are
suitable for operation in hazardous areas in Zone 2 and Zone 22.
The devices may only be used as described in these instructions. Any other use is not in accord-
ance with the intended use. Turck accepts no liability for any resulting damage.

– Install the device in the TB-SG-S protective housing (Ident-No. 100014866).
– Install the device in an area offering impact protection (e.g. in the robot arm) and at-
tach a warning: "DANGER: Only connect and disconnect circuits when no voltage is
present.”.
n
Do not install the device in areas critically exposed to UV light.
n
Prevent risks caused by electrostatic charge.
n
Protect unused connectors with dummy plugs to ensure protection class IP67.
