More efficiency and flexibility with expansion port
Featuring eight ports for 16”/outputs is the new IO-Link actuator/sensor hubs from Balluff. They allow for example, signals from up to 16 switching sensors to be collected from a distance of up to 20m so that they can be made available to the machine controller via IO-Link and an IO-Link master using a simple 3-conductor cable.
Brand new in the market are versions with an expansion port. Slot 7 can be reconfigured as an expansion port by means of a simple parameter entry. A complete valve plug or an additional sensor hub can be connected to it.
For the user this means a significant gain in flexibility and efficiency. Now it is possible not only to cost-effectively process additional in- and outputs, but also expand the range to a circle of another 20m. Thanks to plug-and-play and the use of unshielded standard cables, the system can be started up in no time at all.
