💡 A Revolutionary Step from Turck: MARGEE​

Turck is bringing a breath of fresh air to the world of automation! Thanks to the innovative programming environment called MARGEE, block I/O modules can now be used as programmable controllers. What's more, it offers web-based visualization capabilities.

💻 The Power of Visual Studio Code and Structured Text​

MARGEE appears as an extension running within Visual Studio Code. By using Structured Text, the standard PLC programming language, users can develop PLC-less automation and standalone applications. Applications such as level monitoring in tanks or pick-to-light assembly stations under MES/ERP control are now much easier.

⚙️ Decentralized Logic and Flexibility​

When combined with a PLC, the module takes on decentralized logic. This shortens cycle times, reduces network load, and ensures systems continue to operate even if the PLC fails. Ideal for modular machines and conveyor belts, this solution allows individual faulty devices to be replaced.

🚀 Advanced Features for IT Experts​

MARGEE is specifically designed for programmers with an IT background. Features offered by Visual Studio Code, such as code completion, syntax highlighting, and debugging, accelerate the writing of control code. Thanks to Git integration, teams can collaboratively manage versions of large projects. Web visualization, on the other hand, offers advanced views, offline previews, and debugging capabilities.

🔄 Compatible with ARGEE​

All devices supporting ARGEE 4 are also compatible with MARGEE. It can be integrated with your existing systems without the need for any firmware updates.

🌐 Management with Turck Automation Suite​

Users can manage their MARGEE projects via Turck Automation Suite (TAS). Batch operations (download, delete, protect, rename) can be easily performed on this platform. For OT-related tasks, ARGEE continues to be used with programming blocks.
