R130C DISCRETE IO-LINK HUB:
In a recent article, Banner highlighted the R130C Discrete IO-Link Hub as a game-changer for machine builders looking to simplify their operations. This innovative hub streamlines the collection of discrete I/O at the source, offering a range of features designed to enhance efficiency and reduce complexity.
Key features of the R130C Discrete IO-Link Hub include:
-
Industry-Standard Connectivity: The hub is equipped with top-exit M12 connectivity, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard components.
-
16 Discrete PNP Inputs: With 16 inputs, the hub allows for the integration of up to 16 non-IO-Link devices into an IO-Link system, offering flexibility and scalability.
-
Compact Design: The compact size of the hub, coupled with its IP65, IP66, and IP67 ratings, enables it to be mounted on a machine close to sensors, minimizing wiring complexity.
-
Pass-Through Power: The hub allows for the sharing of 4 amps as pass-through power across multiple ports, enabling the use of devices that draw higher current, such as lighting products.
-
Streamlined Data Transmission: The hub simplifies the collection of discrete IO by sending it as a single IO-Link data stream to an IO-Link master, reducing the need for additional cabling.
-
Troubleshooting Made Easy: Status LEDs on the R130C can be viewed from both the top and side, allowing for quick and efficient troubleshooting.
Overall, the R130C Discrete IO-Link Hub from Banner offers machine builders a cost-effective solution for integrating non-IO-Link devices into an IO-Link system, reducing wiring complexity, and streamlining operations.
