Balluff Machine Mount IO-Link Mini-Masters for Industrial Ethernet
Balluff's new compact IO-Link masters for resilient distributed modular controls architecture offer a robust IP67 housing and slim design.
Balluffs new 4-port slim design IO-Link masters can connect a multitude of smart devices over IO-Link to build a truly distributed machine mount controls architecture for todays automation.
These masters are feature-packed and ready for IIoT and Industry 4.0 application realization.
Full service webserver for EtherNet/IP and PROFINET IO-Link masters enable remote diagnostics and configuration of the master as well as attached IO-Link devices.
With SNMP on-board, the IO-Link master and all IO-Link devices are discoverable for network management systems for critical data gathering. This is made possible with the virtual IP address allocation feature of the master device.
Ease of maintenance with parameter server data on the IO-Link master allows storing IO-Link device parameters for each port, so that when devices need to be changed the parameters can be automatically downloaded making smart devices plug-n-play.
The Balluff Type A IO-Link mini-master can host up to 120 configurable discrete I/O when connected to Balluff IO-Link I/O hubs with an expansion port. Balluff offers add-on instructions and function blocks to promote ease of IO-Link into the existing controls architecture.
