AutomationDirect: Murrelektronik EtherCAT IO-Link Line Master Modules and Additional IO-Link Hubs

December 16, 2024

AutomationDirect has added Murrelektronik Premium EtherCAT IO-Link master modules to their IO-Link product lineup.

IO-Link masters provide standardized, point-to-point connections between smart devices and controllers. IO-Link functions similarly to traditional field I/O but adds the capability to collect diagnostic and operational data from IO-Link capable devices, helping pinpoint potential problems or improvements. Typical IO-Link systems consist of one IO-Link master (the interface between IO-Link and higher-level systems) and at least one IO-Link device.

The new Murrelektronik master module adds EtherCAT capability for systems that utilize this powerful protocol. Premium master modules also include MQTT and OPC UA communication for high-level data collection and cloud/IIoT networking.  

Murrelektronik IO-Link hubs allow several sensors and actuators to connect easily to an IO-Link master via a standard sensor cable. These hubs transmit standard field I/O signals, and several new models have been added, including more discrete I/O modules and modules that support analog/temperature inputs.

The Murrelektonik Premium EtherCAT IO-Link master module is priced at $399 and the new IO-Link hubs start at $215.

Belden: BEETLE Single Pair Ethernet Lite Managed Switch

The Lumberg Automation BEETLE Lite Managed Switch supports the transition to future-ready networks built using Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), supporting seamless sensor-to-cloud connectivity. As industrial environments grow in complexity, enterprises have opportunities to connect more field devices and gather more data. However, they need to consider space and weight constraints and simplify network infrastructure where possible. SPE supports this goal by allowing connectivity via a single pair of wires rather than the two or four pairs required by standard Ethernet.
