A member of the new network module family developed for the harsh environments of the food and pharmaceutical industries. The corrosion- and clean-resistant stainless steel housing of the corrosion- and clean-resistant modules ensures reliable and correct signal transmission, even in demanding environments.
The product range includes an IO-Link master installed on the machine with 8 IO-Link interfaces, each port that can be configured as a bidirectional input or output, or can be connected to a variety of IO-Link sensors or actuator modules.
IO-Link's efficient point-to-point connection makes the distributed architecture flexible and future-ready for scalability. The network nodes configured with IO-Link masters via EtherNet/IP communicate directly with the controller or the machine's control device.
Features:
■ 8 IO-Link ports for connecting various IO-Link devices
■ Up to 16 configurable I/O points, each with an LED for error diagnosis
■ Large LED status light for monitoring port and network communication
■ Integrated web service area function for configuring and monitoring module information (IP address, settings, parameters,... )
■ Expansion port on the IO-Link I/O Hub for connecting an IO-Link valve terminal connector or an IO-Link sensor/actuator hub (and can increase the number of I/O points up to 30)
■ IP69 protection for corrosion-resistant and detergent-resistant environments*
■ All network modules are ECOLAB certified
