They are available with metal or plastic housings. The IP67-rated I/O device family can be used in EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, Modbus/TCP, Profinet, Sercos, and Profibus networks. Depending on the network type, the input and output functions include digital functions and an IO-Link master.
For analog functions, there are five IO-Link devices or analog converters AI/I, AO/U, AO/I, AO/U and RTD with two types of housing, straight and angled.
At launch, the product range comprised 70 items.
The Axioline E series is notable for its quick installation thanks to the M12 Speedcon quick-connect system. It offers high resistance to vibration (up to 5g) and impact (up to 30g) and is easy to put into operation thanks to its color-coded connections and clear signaling system.
For more efficient power supply, the devices feature new M12 power connectors that support a maximum current of 2 x 12A. This reduces the amount of cabling required, as only one power cable needs to be connected for both the electronics and the peripherals.
