Murrelektronik's new MVK Metal and Impact67 fieldbus modules feature integrated IODD files within the GSD file. If these devices, such as IO-Link sensors or valve groups, are included in an installation, this database is readily available and can be easily integrated. Previously, each new IO-Link master had to be individually integrated into the software, a time-consuming process. Connecting numerous identical sensors required repeating the process for each device on the network, resulting in significant time and errors.
Now, with the integrated IODD, the IO-Link master is configured by the controller, and the installation is complete. Simply plug and play, and the job is done.
Another feature of the new IO-Link modules is the ability to integrate IO-Link devices via asynchronous access. This option is also available in the new Cube67 IO-Link master module.
All new IO-Link modules from Murrelektronik comply with the IO-Link 1.1 specification and are equipped with Class A and B IO-Link ports.
