AutomationDirect: IO-Link Smart Field I/O System

PB-57-Automation-IOLinkSmartField-400.jpg

May 26, 2022

AutomationDirect has added STRIDE & Murrelektronik IO-Link master modules and hubs to their existing field I/O product line.

IO-Link is a powerful field I/O protocol capable of handling traditional field I/O signals along with diagnostic data from intelligent field devices, including device health, configured parameters, and performance.

IO-Link master modules are the interface between field devices and higher-level controllers/information systems, and they also control data traffic between the connected devices. Two IO-Link master modules are now available that convert IO-Link signals to/from EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, and MQTT.

  •    –   The STRIDE IO-Link master will convert IO-Link data to EtherNet/IP messages for better insight into system performance using a well-established fieldbus protocol
  •    –   The Murrelektronik premium master module provides the same advantages as the lower-cost STRIDE version, with the added capabilities of OPC and MQTT

IO-Link hubs provide up to 16 multifunctional DIO channels that allow several standard sensors and actuators to connect to an IO-Link master using a single cable. IO-Link hubs offer an economical solution for a highly decentralized installation.

A variety of IO-Link capable photoelectric and proximity sensors are available that provide signal data, as well as internal diagnostics, to keep operators aware of sensor faults and performance issues.

IO-Link master modules start at $290.00, and hubs start at $180.00, with a 2-year warranty provided for both. IO-Link-enabled sensors start at $15.50, with select models offering a limited lifetime warranty.

How to Select and Size Enclosure Thermal Management Systems

Housing electrical components inside an enclosure is a requirement in industrial applications. The enclosure is required to protect the controllers, power distribution components, power supplies and other electronics from harsh factory floor environments. Factories, plants and facilities often experience relatively warm ambient temperatures, and many of the electrical components housed in the control enclosure generate heat, so many enclosures require cooling. In some instances, such as for outdoor installations, enclosures may require heating.
