Distributed I/O modules
06 August 2018
Balluff will be showcasing what are reported to be the industry's first machine mount, IP69K protection rated, ECOLAB certified distributed I/O modules powered by EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and IO-Link.
End users and machine builders of automation in food, meat, dairy and beverage industries that need to follow stringent food safety requirements can now utilise full benefits of distributed modular I/O architecture for all the required I/O and sensor connectivity.
The IP69K portfolio includes network I/O, IO-Link masters and IO-Link I/O hubs. These distributed I/O modules can be mounted right on the machine closer to sensors and actuators to reduce troublesome cable routing. The entire portfolio of IP69K modules utilises standard M12 connections to sensors eliminating need for cable terminations in the cabinet. All the modules are equipped with onboard diagnostics for ease of integration and maintenance.
ECOLAB certified stainless steel V4A (1.4571) housing with elevated two-hole mounting makes these modules easy for cleaning with high-pressure fluids or steam wash or corrosive chemicals. Stand B42
