New Comprehensive Line of EtherNet/IP Machine Mount I/O blocks
Seamless communication right down to the sensors and actuators

EtherNet/IP BlocksEtherNet/IP™ has become a popular network for connecting field devices to centralized control solutions from Allen Bradley™ and other suppliers. It allows designers to seamlessly integrate a broad range of compatible connectivity products from many manufacturers.

Balluff’s new line of EtherNet/IP™ includes twelve versions of machine-mount I/O blocks and an IP 67 unmanaged switch. These blocks have a low initial cost per point and are designed to save money over the life of the system with maximum uptime and easy maintenance.

Application Example:
If your automation projects have sensors and actuators that require a large amount of I/O infrastructure, Balluff's XXL EtherNet/IP blocks allow you to have either 32 inputs or 16 inputs/16 outputs on one IP address. This will reduce network costs and per sensor point costs.
