BN control unit with IO-Link technology
Industrial equipment
Information
IO-Link technology is an open communication standard for sensors and actuators, defined by the PROFIBUS User Organization (PI). IO-Link can be used for the point-to-point connection of sensors and actuators to the control system, thus ensuring fast and reliable data transmission.
By connecting to the IO-Link master, the BN series control device unit can exchange essential data on the surrounding environment, providing detailed information on the different operating phases.
The data sent includes the state of the buttons and different device types, the LED state, the supply voltage, the device utilization time and temperature.
One key feature of the BN series IO-Link control device unit is its ability to detect any out-of-range values in the monitored data. The system can detect any anomalies or potential risks so that the operators can quickly adopt the necessary measures. All the data on the device can be displayed in real time, which means immediate monitoring and precise performance.
The Plug & Play technology makes this device easy to integrate in the system without the need for complex, time-consuming and costly wiring. This makes it much easier and faster to replace the device if it gets damaged or malfunctions, without having to dismantle whole parts of the plant.
BN series with IO-Link technology is equipped with luminous RGB buttons, customizable with a vast range of colours and innovative lighting features.
