Signal lamp with IO-Link
26 April 2013
The new IO-Link Smart Light from Balluff is claimed to be the first light that can be flexibly adapted to nearly every requirement without complex configuration via hardware.

The otherwise typical costly combination of different-colored modules to form a light is no longer needed as this device can also be adapted to its new task ad hoc on-the fly via the controller. Even solutions that can be set by means of DIP switches do not offer an alternative as they cannot be changed during running operation.
The Balluff Smart Light can do more than signal predefined operating states with just three colours – tendencies, developments and trends of physical values can be represented. Temperature states, fill levels of systems or even the position of a carriage via a position sensor system can be visualised on the column, which may be up to 20 LEDs tall.
