Pepperl+Fuchs IO-Link I/O hub

Click2Contact

Pepperl+Fuchs has released an I/O hub with IO-Link interface that enables easy and efficient integration of binary sensors and actuators into the IO-Link communication channel. The hub offers eight ports with 16 digital inputs. In combination with the Ethernet I/O module with integrated IO-Link the device forwards up to 128 digital I/Os to higher-level control systems. Since only one connection cable is required for signal transmission and power supply, the cabling effort is reduced considerably.

With a robust, fully encapsulated metal housing and a wide temperature range of -25 to +70°C, the IP67 rated I/O hub can also be used in demanding industrial environments.

The housing is compact and features clearly visible LEDs that indicate operation, switching status or possible errors. The slim solution reduces cabling complexity and minimises wiring errors, as it requires only one connection for signal transmission and power supply. It also allows a mixture of IO-Link sensors and common binary sensors in one set-up, freeing users from technological restrictions.
