Overview
The Turck BL67-B-1M23 is a base module designed for the BL67 modular I/O system platform. This unit serves as a passive connection component that interfaces field devices—sensors and actuators—with electronic modules mounted on the BL67 gateway architecture. The BL67-B-1M23 simplifies installation and troubleshooting by enabling quick electronics replacement while maintaining wired sensor/actuator connections.
