BN control box with IO-Link technology
The evolution of communication technologies has paved the way for new solutions in the world of industrial automation.
One of these solutions is based on IO-Link technology, an open communication standard for sensors and actuators defined by the PROFIBUS User Organization (PI).
The use of IO-Link allows point-to-point connection of sensors and actuators to the control system, for reliable and fast data transmission.
Based on this advanced technology, the BN series IO-Link control box stands out as a versatile and advanced device. Thanks to its connection with the IO-Link master, it is able to exchange essential data on the surrounding environment and provide detailed information on the various operating phases. The data transmitted includes the status of buttons and various connected devices, status of LEDs, supply voltage, temperature and duration of use of the device.
A key benefit of the BN series IO-Link control box is its ability to detect any out-of-range value relating to the monitored data. This means that the system can identify anomalies or risky situations, allowing the operator to quickly take the necessary measures. Additionally, with IO-Link technology, all inherent device data can be viewed in real-time for real-time and accurate performance monitoring.
One of the main advantages of the BN series IO-Link control box over traditional wiring solutions is the ease of installation. Thanks to Plug & Play technology, it can be easily integrated into the system, without time-consuming and resource-intensive wiring procedures. In the event of damage or malfunction, this guarantees a more efficient replacement of the device, since it can be carried out very quickly and without having to dismantle the entire system.
Another feature of the IO-Link control box that the classic BN series box does not have is the possibility of integrating buttons with RGB lighting. This new asset makes it possible to personalize the device with a wide range of colors such as red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta or white. In addition, other innovations related to lighting have been introduced: it is in particular possible to adjust the light intensity and activate flashes at different frequencies via the IO-Link system. In this way, the control box can be adapted to various ambient conditions and offer extensive visual indication of system states.
In short, the BN series IO-Link control box represents a big step forward in the field of industrial automation by bringing new possibilities for configuration, customization and control, which are easy and quick to implement.
