Neat tool distribution and fast tool changes contribute to increased efficiency and high output. However, complicated wiring and messy plugs make it difficult to replace the robotic arm.

BIC inductive couplers from Balluff solve this problem. The use of inductive couplers eliminates the need for mechanical cable connections. The inductive coupler transmits the signal in a non-contact manner at a certain interval, which avoids wear and ensures fast tool changes, thus providing maximum flexibility. In addition, another advantage of this product is that the tool identity is unique, because the sensor/actuator junction box stores the tool ID information, thus avoiding incorrect tool assignment. Customers no longer have to worry about pin breakage, and there is no bending when working with coupling, so they don't have to worry about axial offset.

Modern robotic systems require a large number of sensors, especially in the robot arm, which can only withstand lightweight sensors. The high-performance Balluff sensor hubs are not only lightweight, but also prove their worth by being able to bundle and transmit sensor signals via IO-Link and a standard 3-conductor cable. Balluff also offers low-cost, BCC M12-compliant cables for energy chains, which are ideally suited for use in robots.

Depending on the module type, the ports of the IO-Link splitter modules from Balluff can be configured as (diagnostic) inputs, outputs, or IO-Link ports. For each port, pin 2 or pin 4 can be used as input and output ports, or for diagnostics. Label IO-Link ports with IO-Link symbols. Flexible installation of Profibus and Profinet via IO-Link offers the following advantages: speed; Reduce costs with cost-effective components and standard cables; Reduce downtime during installation, maintenance, and operation.
