Simplify wiring and reduce costs
BNI IO-Link master and I/O module, BAE power supply
Distributed I/O systems using machine-mounted network blocks (outside the control cabinet) eliminate or significantly reduce individual wire connections by using quick-connected cord-sets. Network blocks provide more status and diagnostic information to speed planning, design and commissioning. One drawback to this approach is that it requires a higher number of network nodes. With machine-mounted IO-Link masters, on the other hand, each port offers the ability to add up to 30 discrete I/O points, up to eight analog I/O points, or a single smart sensor, allowing the construction of a flexible, scalable control system architecture.
