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.

Banner Engineering: R95C Hybrid IO-Link Hub

Controls engineers can more efficiently design remote I/O systems by connecting analog and discrete I/O to a single IO-Link hub. The R95C Hybrid IO-Link Hub reduces cost, wiring, and installation time in applications with a variety of I/O types in one area by offering four analog ports and four discrete ports. Analog signals can be mirrored to other ports for retrofitting existing analog sensors or to add visual indication for efficiency. Up to 4 amps can be shared and passed through ports to power devices, such as lighting, without needing to inject extra power via splitter cables. Convenient side ports help reduce cable damage by minimizing cable bend.
