IO-Link Masters for EtherNet/IP and Profinet Add Flexibility in Controls Architecture
The newest 8-port IO-Link masters from Balluff for EtherNet/IP and Profinet deliver all the benefits of IO-Link master blocks— remote parameterization, simplified wiring, clone configuration — but in displayless housings.
The newest 8-port IO-Link masters from Balluff for EtherNet/IP and Profinet deliver all the benefits of IO-Link master blocks— remote parameterization, simplified wiring, clone configuration — but in displayless housings.
The EtherNet/IP version, BNI00H2, and the Profinet version, BNI00FW, were designed as drop-in replacements for some of Balluff's best-selling network blocks, the BNI006A and BNI005H respectively, that are seeing long delivery times. Widespread microchip shortages have slowed production of many IO-Link products. The removal of the display mitigates this problem without impacting functionality.
The IO-Link master blocks from Balluff allow you to increase your machine flexibility with I/O and smart sensors. In addition, you can use standard, unshielded, off-the-shelf cables for device connection. IO-Link gives unprecedented connectivity to every field level device from data to diagnostics and reduces the total cost of ownership of smart field devices.
Plug-and-play functionality reduces troubleshooting and maintenance. And their IP67 rating makes them tough for most manufacturing environments.
Key details:
Time- and cost-saving: fast installation and simple integration into existing networks
Easy module replacement
Simplified wiring
Full diagnostics and centralized parameter setting with IO-Link

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
