For strict hygienic requirements
The family of products include machine mount IO-Link masters with 8 IO-Link ports each port can be configured as dual input or output, or can connect to wide variety of IO-Link sensors or actuator modules as well as IO-Link sensor/actuator hubs.
The efficient point-to-point connection of IO-Link enables distributed modular architecture that offers flexibility and future expandability.
Network nodes equipped with an IO-Link master communicate directly with the controller or machine control device via Ethernet/IP.
Features
- 8 IO-Link ports for connecting various IO-Link devices
- Up to 16 confi gurable I/O points, each point with an LED for error diagnostics
- Large status LEDs for monitoring the ports and network communication
- Integrated webserver for setup confi guration and monitoring module information (IP address, settings, parameters,…)
- Expansion port on the IO-Link I/O hubs for connecting an IO-Link valve terminal connector or an IO-Link sensor/actuator hub (and increasing the I/O count up to max. 30)
- IP69 rated and resistant to caustic/corrosive cleaning agents and environments
- All network modules ECOLAB certified
