Confirm the controller interface, cable run and supply first, then compare range, update rate and protection. Model suffixes represent different interface paths; do not assume all three support the same buses.
TFmini-i is currently specified at 0.1–12 m, 7–30 V, CAN/RS-485 and IP65, fitting equipment that needs an industrial bus over a shorter range.
Boundary: Its listed maximum rate is 100 Hz; do not apply UART/I²C capabilities from other TFmini models to TFmini-i.
View productTF02-i is currently specified at 0.1–40 m and 7–30 V with CAN and RS-485, making it a candidate when more range and an industrial controller bus are required.
Boundary: Current product parameters do not state a protection rating; verify the delivered interface version, cabling, termination and site protection.
View productTF02-Pro is currently specified at 0.1–40 m, up to 1000 Hz and 5–12 V with UART, I²C and I/O, fitting controllers that use those interfaces directly.
Boundary: It is not a native CAN/RS-485 model; choose the corresponding variant or validate a conversion path rather than substituting by shape and range alone.
